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.

BTW, speaking of Holder. If I were Ruth Bader Ginsberg, I’d probably get a food and wine taster. I don’t believ Obie has given up on appointing him to the SC.

Waco DA allowed to hire 2 more prosecutors

http://www.wacotrib.com/news/waco-da-allowed-to-hire-more-prosecutors/article_cafcb05f-8b6e-5d98-8073-4a7ed94f6b6f.html

So it’s no surprise that McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna gained the court’s permission to hire two new felony prosecutors during the court’s budget work session Monday by agreeing to a little give-and-take on other budget requests.

On the table for discussion were the two new positions, which would max out at $72,000 a year plus fringe benefits; $100,000 to install a new software program for the district attorney’s office; and funds for new laptops prosecutors could take to court.

The deal negotiated with the court allows Reyna to hire the two prosecutors at different points in the 2012 fiscal year in exchange for Reyna agreeing to pay about $73,000 in software upgrades and new laptop purchases from a separate asset forfeiture fund he controls.

I wonder what happen to him?

I’m surprised he didn’t come out of retirement to shoot some more nor did they on Mr. Reno out of retirement. Of course, Eric Holder just left his post only to replace by his twin. Now all that is needed is Hillary - ugh.

The masks are off, the gloves ought to come off too... I got a post pulled due to breach of protocol. Out of respect to the boss and his family, I’ll cool my jets. I sat out much of the past few days gibberish, stunned at the number of facists that have taken up the cause of extermination.

This one has the same stench I first smelled when the MSM reported on Ruby Ridge. The authorities & media are behaving in almost exactly the same manner.

It may all end up being as they claim, but right now questioning authority seems to be a very prudent course.

Okay, where is the link? Not a link to a third hand account, but the actual video.

This is simply a cut and paste from AgingRebel....a biker blog

Folks can make of it what they wish....we are getting nil info from usual outlets

Thank you all for your kind words. Jake was the one in a pale yellow sleeveless tshirt, lying on the bed of a truck, being given CPR by his friends, in some media pictures. He had been sitting, after lunch, talking with his friends, when he heard a scuffle start. He walked about 40ft, just around a corner, to see what the skirmish was about, and that’s when he was shot in the neck and killed. He had no gun. He had never owned a gun. He hated guns. He had no criminal record. He’d had the same job for almost 20 years. And he hated drugs (but he did love beer). It’s killing me to see all these guys painted as violent criminals and losers. That just isn’t the case.

Thank you for looking into it more closely.

At some point, that video has to be released to the public. Who knows when.

For now, there seem to be many unanswered questions in this case.

You saved me a posting! Every sentient being who’s digesting what’s going on here hopes that what happened was truly justified.That said, anyone with a high double digit IQ is begining to realize that something is terribly wrong with the cops actions. And the longer it takes them to release the details, the more reason there is to doubt the honesty of what the LEO’s “claim’ happened.

See 89

Outside source

The media stuff is a trickle and all the same police report over and over

And all the bikers are locked up so far ...can’t hear from them

All these head and neck shots

Nothing personal....but I doubt most bikers shoot that good with sidearms freehanded

Where’s the videos?

cops were strapped down for days waiting on this and had no cams

Man what a stinky pile of poo

And what sort of man ...cop or not...clips an unarmed man with a headshot simply for being in field of fire

We’re reluctant to do that even in the WOT...

I have not followed this at all until this thread, but I must admit that the huge number of arrests and the huge bonds make one wonder why the police are blustering so much.

Yeah, suppose I should, too, thanks. I’m sure one of my posts here was close to the line.

You bet. Laying in wait they had to all have body cameras on.

Lets see the video.

BTW, they already know how many cops shot and dropped people. It was in broad day light. Unless those who shot them are lying to their supervisors about it.

I appreciate your passion for FRedom FRiend. It can be somewhat disheartening to see some of the vile comments by supposed Conservatives on this board.

This isn't the country I grew up in, that's for sure, and it's not the country I spent nearly 15 years of my life serving. I will keep the faith, as you know, there are a few of us still around.

It just smells like Weaver and Waco.

Yep. I am not a fan of LEO assuming the function of judge, jury and executioner. Again, I need to catch up as to what facts are out there.

Here’s a piece of interesting info - only two of the nine dead bikers had any criminal history at ALL. One a DUI in ‘02 or something and the other for carrying in a bar.

I do not like to give in to hyperbole, but Forth Reich just keeps popping into my head.

My thoughts, FWIW.

Swat and BATF comparing dicks...

If it were local L.E.O. they would have just shot up the vehicle(s). The wrong ones too.
(Newspaper Delivery Vehicles if close by.

As with Horuchi, these steroid induced meat heads will brag in short order at the wrong time and they will be outed.
