I recall a few years ago a guy tried to rob a restaurant which was hosting an FBI convention. The room was full of FBI agents.

The Klan circulated notices in and around Unionville, MO some years back that they were organizing a new chapter. Five guys showed up for the first meeting; three from the FBI and two local sheriff's deputies.

That makes sense. I recall reading that during the Johnson presidency, there were more FBI agents assigned to the Klan than there was members of the Klan.

Whitcomb struggled violently with the officers but was eventually subdued and put into the back of a police cruiser, police said.

He was taken to the police station to be booked and was later taken to Lawrence General Hospital for treatment of a broken nose and facial cuts.

Are we going to find out what happened after the chase and capture?
Did the cops go back and finish their dinner and then pay for it? or was this dinner for free?

In the local Chinese restaurant you pay when you come in.
