The overwhelming is a settled legal issue; one can not profit form one’s improper actions.
my summation?
My cat loved it... and so would a civil jury of 12 Texans, tried and true, in Waco.
You really think you are going to get a Texas civil jury, any jury, to agree to tax themselves and their friends to pay non-physical damages to a gang of SELF-DESCRIBED OUTLAW motorcyclists?
If such a Texas jury ever retired to the jury room, it would only be to vote on which of the plaintiffs’ motorcycles Uncle Cooter and his 18-wheeler were going to run over first after court was out!
All 177 of these poeple are NOT "a gang of SELF-DESCRIBED OUTLAW motorcyclists".
That's just a pack of lies, and a smokescreen, put out by a crowd of self-serving gruberment lawyeiars.
The populace is getting mighty tired of the high-handed imperiousness of the ruling class, and the way they spend tax dollars like water on their Great Big Giant Large Criminal Jesters Machine.
I can think of two recent examples of laughable tax-money bonfires by the farce enlawment community:
The Eric Frein hunt, and the hunt for the New York escapees.
Seriously. The Founding Fathers would have been aghast at the blowing of millions of dollars over those two incidents, but the guys who spend tax dollars like drunken sailors didn't blink an eye at the total bill.
This Waco thing looks like it's shaping up to be from the same herd of animal.
