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.

Thank you, but I will try to keep my constitutional republic.

Tell us about this fantasy world you inhabit, where everyone must address drug-dealing scumbag subhuman criminal lowlifes and goat-humping subhuman head-cutting terrorists with proper respect.

Then charge them with their crimes, set a reasonable bail, and set a court date. I assume this happens all the time.

Equal protection under the law has nothing to do with respect.

How lightly esteemed is our liberty. How quickly it can and is being thrown away.

“I didn’t.”

Ok. I misunderstood. You are saying that non-citizens have the same rights as U.S. citizens to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

“The case we are talking about though is in the USA. A constitutional republic that has a bill of rights. Have you heard of it?”

And the U.S. government grants all those rights via the bill of rights?

If you have a problem with respecting human rights, then you are a problem.

Depravation of Rights Under Color of Law is a felony.

PS - There are rules of war, and rules for criminal justice. They are not the same.

“To call any group of human beings subhuman filth make that a legitimate category. “

I didn’t call them filth. Laz defined sub-human as those that had some of their rights removed. I was using his definition in reference to those that had their rights removed by society.

“Equal protection under the law has nothing to do with respect.”

Then how come every discussion about how bad these dudes is either:

1. Ignored,
2. Met with personal attacks, or
3. Countered with how these are just regular dudes with jobs and families?

Please show where under the rules of war we are allowed to kill innocent children in a country we have not declared war against?

I know you aren’t this dense.

Governments recognize different rights in Humans.

Our government, a constitutional republic, is fairly clear on what rights should be recognized.

Are you attempting to argue that these bikers are not American citizens entitled to due process, again?

So you finally come come down to the conclusion: calling someone 'a subhuman dirtbag' has nothing to do with "equal protection under the law". Good job, but you could have said this hundreds of posts ago and spared us boatloads of rubbish written by your buddies.

Being done as we speak.

However, the bond reduction hearings are being delayed as the prisoners are being transferred to a new jurisdiction.

Required due to their writs of habeus corpus filings.

Sigh. Because those three points do not negate the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Thank you. Now you understand that I can one the one hand NOT respect these bad dudes but still expect that they get equal protection under the law.

I just don’t understand why y’all respect and defend these criminals?

I don’t understand. Could you say that in different words?

Maybe clarify under what conditions equal protection under the law does not apply?

You must have men confused with someone that does your bidding.

Pound sand, fascist.

You are indeed THAT dense if you refuse to see a difference in defending criminals who actually commit criminal acts and SUSPECTS who may not be deprived of life, liberty and property without due process of law.

It was a question. Your ‘pound sand’ response indicates to me you have some personal conflict with being able to answer the question.

LOL!

You again, even when directly called out, refuse to characterize these gangs for who they are.

“You are indeed THAT dense if you refuse ...”

You are indeed THAT dense if you refuse to understand that one can be for justice for all and still label the ‘suspects’ as scum.

The only reason for not doing so is so obvious.
