Really tragic and it appears it was all over a parking space????? A shame
where’s Al Sharpton? Why arent there protests about police brutality???? No mention of the race of the SWAT team!!!
Several bikers are denying that they were shooting at police. [take that with a grain of salt, for now] But it appears at least half the bikers were killed by police.
Two points, I’m glad not to be working at the facility now incarcerating those 170 bikers.
Secondly, a majority of the men are probably somebodys Grandpa, or around 60 years old. How do you stay that enraged at fellow bikers for that long? I admit, it’s s a way of life i know nothing about.
I had to laugh at the date of the bail reduction hearing....3 weeks from now. The state judge sounds like he is telegraphing that he has no intention of undercutting the JP.
The cops, including SWAT, were evidently in plain view. What kind of yahoos start a shooting war with those assets in place? Fish in a barrel comes to mind.
Ping
Wonder who the "sources" actually are. I am not very enthused about asset forfeiture processes. Not excusing the bikers, but with that number it is doubtful that they can prove all were "involved" in crimes.
United States Constitution
Amendment VIII
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
Well you got yer biker clubs and you got yer biker GANGS..
Only a moron couldn’t tell the difference..
WHY bike gangs are allowed to continue is beyond me..
Their mere existence is circumstantial PROOF of malfeasance..
People in all kinds of occupations are becoming more evil.
The million dollar bonds are not excessive as our nation is plagued by gang violence from Baltimore to Waco.
Gang violent destroys families, destroys communities and destroys hope.
We must put an end to gang violence and keeping these gang members in jail and prosecuting them to the full extent of the law will keep our streets safe from gang violence.
I read where Twin Peaks corporate offices pulled their franchise and slammed the store management for their role in the confrontation. I couldn’t believe it when I read the restaurant refused overtures by police to be present when this “meeting” took place. What a foolish, foolish thing for a store owner to do to their guests and employees. Now, several people will be out of jobs but at least they left still alive. For that, they can be thankful.
One million dollars bail? That sounds excessive unless they were very wealthy. That JP never heard of the Bill of Rights.
