Dear Waco Residents,

I hope that when this is all over, a bunch of you are taxed out of your homes to pay these men’s judgements against your city, and that a number of your LEO’s, the DA’s and the judges are up on charges. This whole thing stinks to high hell! If I were a decent Texas resident, I’d be pi$$ed off to have my state’s good name besmerched by this renegade city.

"Those reports critical. We have nine people that are dead. We need to know what bullets killed which people. We need to know which guns fired those bullets that killed those people. Were they bullets from persons in the clubs? Were they bullets from police? We don't know," Anderson said.

You think we'll ever know , or ever see any of the video from what did happen that day

I wasn't impressed with the (speaking) lawyers' grasp of details, and it was totally inappropriate for one of the primary speakers to be grinning like the cat that ate the canary, and saying "This is fun!"

On the facts, there was discussion about the ballistics reports, and how little ballistics resources are available in Texas. Hello - weren't the ballistics tests farmed out to the FBI in Quantico, Virginia?

Police have said the ballistics investigation is being headed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which has possession of more than 475 weapons from the scene, including at least 151 firearms.

The shorter of the two lady talkers (both named Susan) said that 177 were arraigned. I think that is false, although the lawyers probably are sloppy in use of legal terms.

Art. 26.01. ARRAIGNMENT. In all felony cases, after indictment, and all misdemeanor cases punishable by imprisonment, there shall be an arraignment.

Whatever Peterson did in setting bail was not arraignment, it was something else. And she is the one who was a judge. Aye-yi-yi.

I learned that Reyna is playing games with discovery, conditioning release of evidence on defense lawyers signing gag agreements. He'll probably litigate that, too.

I believe that at his point, the prosecutor is trying to dig himself out of a hole. He will do so with plea bargains, intimidation, and attempt to turn indictees against some small set of other motorcycle club members who have some hope of being convicted. That would be those who can be connected with one or more of the deaths. They will have to be careful with this since the circumstances point also in the direction of law enforcement officers who expected a confrontation and responded, certainly with deadly force. Since they want to avoid any consideration of that likelihood, they are going to have to weave a tapestry of deceit. Many defense counsels will take an easy out and tell their clients that they are getting the best deal available and bail out. Only a few will take on the prosecutor, but only a few are needed.

My concern is that no one is going to be interested in finding the real murderers as probably they were both law enforcement officers and motorcycle club members, but these murderers are only a few , not just an overreach of justice that is ongoing.
