Leaked Report Profiles Military, Police Members of Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs
The Intercept ^ | 5/22/2015 | Jana Winter and Jordan Smith

Posted on 05/23/2015 5:30:48 PM PDT by PapaBear3625

Nuclear power plant technicians, senior military officers, FBI contractors and an employee of “a highly-secretive Department of Defense agency” with a Top Secret clearance. Those are just a few of the more than 100 people with sensitive military and government connections that law enforcement is tracking because they are linked to “outlaw motorcycle gangs.”

A year before the deadly Texas shootout that killed nine people on May 17, a lengthy report by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives detailed the involvement of U.S. military personnel and government employees in outlaw motorcycle gangs, or OMGs. A copy of the report was obtained by The Intercept.

The report lays out, in almost obsessive detail, the extent to which OMG members are represented in nearly every part of the military, and in federal and local government, from police and fire departments to state utility agencies. Specific examples from the report include dozens of Defense Department contractors with Secret or Top Secret clearances; multiple FBI contractors; radiological technicians with security clearances; U.S. Department of Homeland Security employees; Army, Navy and Air Force active-duty personnel, including from the special operations force community; and police officers.

“In certain circumstances, I would impose the death penalty. “

That is sort of, in just a little way, taking away their right to life, liberty and happiness? Nice to see we are on the same page on this issue.

I take it then that you are against the death penalty.

Are you against summary execution of sub-humans?

We are miles apart on this issue. You deemed biker gangs ‘sub humans’, which by definition do not have the same rights as humans. I, lacking the fascist and tyrannical urges you possess, would never deem them ‘sub humans’, but as full humans who possess all rights to defend themselves in a court of law.

You cannot conflate the two. That is like saying a murderer shares much in common with an executioner for the United States government. The two are in no way similar.

You are thick as a brick.

I posted the 14th Amendment upthread. Patriots can recite from memory a substantial portion of it. You ignore the part about “due process of law.”

Well, that would be the polite, family-friendly word I’d use, at least.

Waco witness: ‘It was a setup from start to finish’

Which makes it interesting that Waco SWAT was there in force. Do they usually show up like that at meetings (keeping in mind that these meetings appear to have been regular monthly things)?

Were the cops given a "heads up" that there would be trouble? If so, why did they not make a visible presence (which should have forestalled trouble)?

“Are you against summary execution of sub-humans? “

Since you already know that I believe in law and order, you have your answer.

But the anarchists in the mc gangs apparently believe in summary executions.

Who are you quoting in 545? You did not attribute it properly.

“You deemed biker gangs ‘sub humans’, which by definition do not have the same rights as humans.”

I was using your definition .. do not have the same rights.

Some of their rights have been removed. Since they do not have the same rights (having been taken away from them) I follow your logic and agree with you when you define them as sub-human.

Am I the only person who knows that the “leather costumes” are form following function?

That they provide protection in case of a crash?

That they are not, outside of Rob Halford, a “fashion statement”?

Who has that lovely photo of the guy who wore shorts and flip-flops while on his bike?

I have specifically and repeatedly declared them as humans. You are the one who declares them sub-humans. Please stop eating lead paint chips.

I was always partial to the Aerostich Roadcrafter myself. Never seen a cow designed to slide on pavement at 75.

“I have specifically and repeatedly declared them as humans.”

Per your definition someone that does not have the same rights as humans is subhuman.

“You deemed biker gangs ‘sub humans’, which by definition do not have the same rights as humans.”

Ergo, if you have less rights than other you are sub-human.

Do you watch the series “How It’s Made”?

Couple days ago they had an ep on motorcycle racing suits.

It was amazing.

It even had air bags.
