Waco shooting: Purple Heart recipient among nine bikers killed
The Guardian ^ | Thursday 21 May 2015 17.24 EDT | Associated Press in Waco

Posted on 05/21/2015 4:16:12 PM PDT by Texas Fossil

One of nine bikers killed at a shootout outside a Texas restaurant was a Vietnam veteran and Purple Heart recipient whose family members dispute police claims he was in a criminal group.

An Associated Press review of Texas court records and a database maintained by the state department of public safety turned up no criminal history in Texas for Jesus Delgado Rodriguez, 65, of New Braunfels. And his son Vincent Ramirez told the San Antonio Express-News that he was not violent.

Interesting how scores of black youth hurled bricks at the police in Baltimore and the cops fled in fear. UNLIKE AT TWIN PEAKS IN TEXAS, THOSE BLACK YOUTH WERE ATTACKING THE POLICE.. IT’S ON VIDEO!!! I guess bricks aren’t considered deadly weapons because I don’t recall a single cop shooting anyone.

It is a piss poor time when all you can think of to do with an evil gang (premise to be accepted arguendo) is to out-injustice the gang. This was supposed to be a quiet meeting. What does Waco have against peace efforts?

We will try to be more reverent to Banditos and Cossacks. Waco needed that toilet flushed. Guess its ok for hundreds of bikers to menace a few restaurants where normal people cant go there,,,
They have a right to their summit meeting to settle turf disputes? To fight it out with weapons without cop interference? You kidding me? What a pantload.

The only cowards were the gangs that all join in on a one on one fight. That’s their MO, no honor.

When the law begins to judge “what you are” rather than “what you have done” then it ceases from all foundation of righteousness. It, in fact, becomes another player in “turf war.” I guess you love that paradigm huh?

THAT is an interesting article! I especially liked the arrest of Theron.. who rides with a MC that specializes in restoring old motorcycles. I guess the charge was riding into gunfire?”

And WE will remember those who sight-unseen come down on the side of criminal gangs that are every bit as bad as crips and bloods.

Dittos... Bandidos, Cossacks, Bloods, Crips, MS-13, La Cosa Nostra.

I loathe the romanticism towards all those violent, murdering, dope-peddling, organized-criminals. Predatory human trash.

You’re not a serious poster

You’re just a tough talker....at least on this one

Time will tell

You man enough to admit if you’re wrong?

I’d ask how many Purple Hearts you got but since no one I knows anything about you I guess you can claim anything so what’s the point

You’re cheering on even if cops assassinated some or all these guys.

That’s just bullshit dude and especially for anyone on a liberty loving site

No straw men please...I know it’s a siren call

Gangs numbering into the hundreds, armed with knives and guns. Willing to murder over a “Texas” patch, because only THIER sorority is allowed to wear that.
They specialize in murder, prostitution, and have close working ties with the Mexican cartels.
And you are upset that the police defended a good town where decent people live.

Thank you for removing any pretense as to who or what you are.

...doesn’t give you free pass to act like a thug.

You have evidence that he acted like a thug?

No. Of course you don't.

I find your comments to be evil.

No ones biting that this might have been staged as a prelude to Jade Helm. I mean, if you’re the military about to commandeer the citizenry, who’d you like to take off the streets in advance? Guys with guns on motorcycles.. A very mobile and organized force. POOF! Now all in jail. DONE.

Have not heard a word. But the inconsistencies in official statements is very troubling.

Here is a page with 4 archive links discussing various aspects of this. You might find it worth reading.

I recall another Waco incident where, after the SMOKE cleared, wasn’t what we thought it was. It was the outright murder of a dozen children because someone thought it would be neat to fire INCENDIARY devices into a wood framed compound on a day of 90MPH winds.

Do you have a link to the actual video of what was happening inside the restaurant during the shooting?

I’ve been reading about the video, but I can’t find the actual video online.

Has it been released yet? Thanks.

Interesting that “Operation Pilluted” with 1,000 federal agents was winding down just about then next door in Arkansas.
