Bullets ricocheted around the parking lot of Twin Peaks, the Waco restaurant where a motorcycle gang shootout left nine dead, just minutes after Theron Rhoten pulled in on his vintage Harley chopper for a regional motorcycle club meeting, according to Rhoten’s wife. Katie Rhoten told The Associated Press that her husband ran for cover and was later arrested, along with antique motorcycle enthusiast friends and other “nonviolent, noncriminal people.” Authorities swept up around 170 bikers who had descended on the restaurant for what one club member described as a gathering to discuss laws protecting motorcycle riders.... McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara and Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton declined to comment Tuesday on allegations that innocent bikers were arrested.

Stop being Rebel ... You’ll become caught up in Truth ... and you do not want that!
You mean like the guy who wants to tell us how you can belong to an outlaw club and not be a criminal?
No, it has NOT!
I was a Younger be ridin’ with the James Boys ....
No, that would be silly, America is full of people who ride various motorcycles of all types, I have never heard of anyone who “hates” all motorcycle owners in America.
fore!
I do not answer to you.
Believe it or not, there are some libs that don’t see any difference between the rolling thunder types and the Outlaw MC 1%’rs.
Just read some of the idiotic comments here.

baboulas sez:
It’s these bums that go to DC and do their annual rolling thunder bike ride. Strapping the US flag around their 1% vests and all. Yeah, the GOPpers and tea party nuts all salute when these thugs go by.

Now you’ve heard of someone.
And there are a lot more where he came from.
He apparently ate the brown Acid, or its functional equivalent.
He’s been going on like that all day.
Want to talk innocent? Three motorcyclists were arrested at a different location and charged for “weapons” and wearing “colors.” From what we know if you are wearing a wallet chain to keep your money from being lost out your back pocket or happened to put on whatever color t-shirt then you’re guilty. Either way, they were not at the restaurant. The judge gave them a lower bond than those from Twin Peaks. They paid and were legally released. The cops got mad and made the judge revoke the bonds and issue new ones at $1 million. The guys turned themselves back in.
If you had the slightest clue about clubs you would know that asking that question is extremely rude. Even the most benign HOG member knows that. Might as well ask me if I am gay ... are you ?
Believe it or not, there are some here at Free Republic who don’t appear to see any difference between the rolling thunder types and the Outlaw MC 1%’rs.
Actually I know quite a lot about it for an average Joe, I belong to a non-outlaw club, and used to spend a fair amount of time with the Bandidos as a young man many years ago, including having a Bandido roommate, until I kicked him out for cowardice.
My club has lost members as they switched to the Vagos and Mongols, we have overnighters where the Boozefighters and Vagos show up, we have held many meetings at the local Hells Angel bar.
Why do you keep avoiding the subject of my posts to you, this claim that one doesn’t have to be criminal to belong to the 1%er outlaw gangs?
How do you think that works in reality?
Another excellent post
Scary you, scary ....
