Texas has deemed bikers to be outlaws without court proceedings.
The above-posted thread title could be misleading somewhat. The actual title of the article at Breitbart is:
TWIN PEAKS BIKERS: LAWYERS CONDEMN ‘COOKIE CUTTER’ INDICTMENTS AND ARREST WARRANTS
>>> Saputo added, “The ‘criminal street gang’ offenses have come under frequent scrutiny by various state and federal appellate courts for this very reason. Attaching ‘criminality’ to a group as a whole is a dangerous way for the state to overstep its authority and our constitutional rights. The fact that it only took nine hours for the state to obtain 106 indictments is a testament to that fact.†<<<
Any other questions?
Section 71.02 of the Texas Penal Code provides that engaging in organized criminal activity for these crimes is a first-degree felony. The possible sentence is up to life in prison or from 15 to 99 years in prison.
That is, everyone is a felon. It's at the whim of "government" whether or not to imprison someone. This is tyranny.
I hope this cluster goes to trial. No real dog in the hunt here, but this is going to be fun to watch.
ISIS & Biker Gangs....sorry don’t see a difference.
... Clifford Pierce, a Cossacks Motorcycle Club prospect who reportedly sparked the massacre when he tried to stop a Bandidos club officer from parking, was not indicted.Pierce's name appears in a sworn statement made November 3 in Houston by an attorney named James C. Winton. Winton represents the Waco Twin Peaks franchise in the five lawsuits that have been filed against that restaurant. In that statement, Winton alleges that "Pierce was not arrested and has simply vanished into thin air - his apartment cleaned out and never seen again. Was this gentleman who was so close to the spark, perhaps even the spark himself, an undercover police officer? Was he a confidential informant? Is he now in a witness protection program? No one knows."
