The evidence in the May 17, 2015 Twin Peaks incident is voluminous. So, I put together some important video clips that tell the story in the clearest manner. I then attached the audio from the ONLY recorded police interview of a COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT WITNESS. He describes what he saw, including the fact that a Cossack pulled a gun first, Cossacks fired first, and the police fired on all of the bikers in what he describes as “automatic gun fire”. Here are some additional facts from the evidence: 1) In August 2014, 3 Cossacks went to police complaining that they were...

It's been nearly a year since nine bikers were killed in a chaotic shootout between the Cossacks and Bandidos gangs at a Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, and we still don't know much about what happened or who did what. And while 177 bikers were arrested at the scene, we still don' t even totally know which ones will be charged with a crime. A Waco grand jury handed out 106 indictments in November — a full six months after the shooting — and announced 48 more indictments last month. The indicted bikers were all charged with engaging in organized...

WACO -- The attorney for a biker couple arrested in connection to the Twin Peaks shooting says his clients cases have been dismissed, but the McLennan County District Attorney says that’s “not accurate.” While they’ve been released from their bonds and have no charges pending, their cases have not technically been dismissed, but William and Morgan English believe they’re a step closer. Houston-based defense attorney Paul Looney represents the biker couple from Brenham who were the first ones at Twin Peaks released from the McLennan County Jail. The Englishes are members of “The Distorted” motorcycle club, an alleged support group...

A Houston lawyer contends that all criminal charges have been automatically dropped against a Brenham couple and nearly 40 other bikers who were arrested following the deadly May melee at the Twin Peaks in Waco. They were not indicted as of midnight Thursday, the deadline for grand jury to have completed its work, he said. "It timed out," said Paul Looney, who represents Morgan and William English, who were arrested for allegedly engaging in organized criminal activity and originally were held on $1 million bail each, as were all others in the case. "Pop the champagne." Looney, who was speaking...

Bullet casings from rounds allegedly fired from an FBI agent at LaVoy Finicum’s truck back on January 26, 2016 have conveniently vanished into thin air following a FBI investigation of itself... at least one FBI agent was alleged to have been under investigation by the FBI for firing two shots in the direction of the truck at the time it averted a road block and slammed into a snow bank, although the FBI special agent in charge claimed he didn’t know who he was investigating because he didn’t know who fired. Yes, he actually said that! ... The reason they...

The best place to hide a leaf is in a forest. The best place to hide the truth about what happened in the parking lot of the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco is in a confusion of noise.

The Waco Tribune-Herald reported yesterday that the McLennan County grand jury that indicted 106 defendants in nine hours last November for engaging in organized crime will reconvene March 23.
