“The dead and wounded seem to have almost if not exclusively law enforcement bullets in them.”

You have seen the autopsy reports?

Well … yes. The bikers were killing each other. The protesters were destroying a city.

". . . calm bikers on cell phones.

Key phrase.

FReepers are claiming bikers were shot as they tried to flee on their bikes.

How desperate do you have to be to conflate "trying to flee on their bikes" with "standing with their hands up"?

“Well, it’s understandable. Even though they are criminal, drug dealing scumbags, they project an image that resonates... kind of the last vestige of that “Wild West” frontier spirit.”

Some say the same about the rioter in Ferguson and Baltimore ...

Have you ever followed the actual story of “thuggee” a cult practice that arose in 19th century India. In the name of one of the Hindu deities of destruction, it managed to style double-crossing to be a virtue. The British did not humor that (and neither did mainstream Indian religious practice).

Look at biker codes of honor and how they actually play out in real life. Who shot and knifed whom at Waco? Where are the crying families of dead innocent bystanders? (Crickets)

As for whom is heartbroken when anyone dies, you have to look above you to see that. Looking below you, you will miss it.

“Nobody is claiming the bikers were shot in the back with their hands up, either. “

Sort of. I have seen no posts where they said they had their hands up.

Thugs and punks in Baltimore were allowed to loot, riot, set fire, and even stone police officers.

Thugs and punks in another city were met with appropriate force. It should be same everywhere. Without Obama and pals plus liberal progressives it would be.

Nope. The authorities took out the trash. Twin Peaks is gone for good.

The rest of that retail center has re-opened for business and life returns to normal in Waco, Texas.

Waco isn’t burning to the ground, is it?

"Is Janet Reno in town?"


LOL!

I’d love to see the ballistics report that you seem to have an exclusive view of.

I didn't see any rioting, burning of Twin Peaks or Asian businesses.

I didn't see any white bikers jumping any Blacks in the area.

I didn't see bikers jumping on, destroying, burning police cars.

I didn't see any resisting arrest once the gunfight ended.

I didn't see Bikers throw rocks & bottles at cops.

We haven’t gotten to the point where people are claiming them poor bikers came out shouting “hands up, don’t shoot!?”

Or will that be tomorrow?

“170 white thugs got a million dollar bond on each of them in Waco. How many Baltimore tbugs got that amount?”

I don’t think there were organized crime murders during the riots. They clearly should have had higher bonds, but that is the difference between racist socialist suburbs of DC, and a proper judicial system in normal America.

Waco is right, Baltimore and Ferguson were wrong.

Washington — The prevailing images of protests in Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri, over police killings of black men were of police in riot gear, handcuffed protesters, tear gas and mass arrests. The main images of a fatal gun battle between armed bikers and police in Waco, Texas, also showed mass arrests — carried out by nonchalant-looking officers sitting around calm bikers on cell phon

What's the key word. Mass arrests.

With the arrests, things were under control.

There is no honor in the “biker code” only cowardice and extortion and manipulation framework.

“I actually might be one of them don’t know all the facts yet, but the GUNFIGHT inside Harrah’s Casino in Laughlin between rival biker gangs was completely SETUP and Orchestrated by the POLICE, It all came out in the TRIAL’S in which EVERYONE WAS ACQUITTED. So until I see real evidence I do not EVER BELIEVE THE POLICE ON ANYTHING!”

ROTFLMAO!

“When bikers have a rumble they man up about it... gotta respect “

Respect to a bunch of violent low-lifes? never.

‘Around the World in 80 Days’
‘The Deceivers’
‘Gunga Din’ and
‘Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom’

Half of what I know about the real cult comes from less than reliable books/movies. But I have read a little about the real thing. They had issues, but I’d rather face them than the current threats to our country.
