Prosecuting Ozzie And Harriet [Waco]
The Aging Rebel ^ | August 19, 2015

Yesterday in Waco, a judge named James Morgan, ruled that there was probable cause to arrest William and Morgan English, a nice, young couple from Brenham, Texas, for engaging in organized criminal activity. The charge carries a penalty of five to 99 years in prison.

The Englishes had attended a brunch sponsored by the Texas Confederation of Clubs and Independents on May 17 at the Twin Peaks restaurant. Multiple, informed sources said Judge Morgan did not appear to be drunk.

Morgan based his ruling on the testimony of a Texas Department of Public Safety Lieutenant named Steven Schwartz who indentified a riding group called “Distorted” as a “support club” for the Bandidos Motorcycle Club. Schwartz called the Bandidos a “criminal street gang.” William “Piddle” English belongs to Distorted which has five other members. Morgan English was wearing a vest that described her as a Distorted Old Lady who was “Property of Piddle.”

Forbidden Flair

As is the custom in much of Texas among motorcycle riders, members of Distorted and women associated with members wear a small tab on the front of their club vests that reads, “I Support The Fat Mexican.” The felonious phrase is a reference to the Bandidos logo: A cartoon of a man with a big belly who is wearing a serape and a very heroic sombrero with a revolver in his right hand and a machete in his left.

Shwartz testified both that he had never heard of the Distorted before that day and that he knew that the Distorted was there that day in a “show of support” for the Bandidos. He also testified that of the seven members of the Distorted only William English, who was convicted of driving while intoxicated, has a criminal past. He also testified that the support tab the club members wear proves the Distorted is “somewhat involved in criminal activity.”

Shwartz also testified that the Confederation of Clubs and Independents is front for the Bandidos and that the Bandidos is a “security threat group.”

“Bandidos historically use support groups to do their dirty work so that the Bandidos don’t look bad,” Schwartz testified under oath.

Back In June

Morgan English testified that she drove a car to the restaurant that day, that there was a gun in the car and that she did, in fact, support the Bandidos. She said she left the gun locked in the car after she parked. Under Texas law, it is legal to have a gun in your car when travelling. Her husband testified that he knew there were “some issues” between the Bandidos and members of the Cossacks Motorcycle Club.

William and Morgan English were briefly famous at the beginning of June after their attorney, Paul Looney, negotiated a bond reduction and the couple was released.

They made us all feel like animals, like they herded us,” Morgan English complained at the time.

Her husband said “This whole thing is a sham. I’m kind of upset that we had to pay to get out of jail when we did nothing wrong.”

“what’s the point of dragging that in to the discussion?”

Well, I am convinced that Fed Direction was involved in both incidents. I think I can prove that involvement in Waco at Twin Peaks and what followed. Based on things that happened on the web following it.

I am waiting to see if sanity is again restored to the judicial process.

In my opinion, there is an outside agenda attached to the Twin Peaks incident.

I keep going back to the Chief of Police Brent Strother's statement that his men were sitting in their vehicles when the first shots were fired. I have yet to learn how DPS and the Feds were deployed.

This is a scripted operation from the get-go.

“Judge” Morgan, like everyone else involved, will scramble to do his assigned part and to keep his job.

As usual, you assert “facts” denied by the evidence.

Your notion of “evidence” amounts to crap you read on a blog or pulled out of your behind.

I don’t even know what that means, but stick to playing with your own behind, I don’t swing that way.

Oh it certainly is in question by a great many posters on this board who frequent these threads.

Yeah, but I was talking about people who are informed and can think for themselves.

“Well, I think it may have been friendly advice. You might want to be a little more careful about calling all bikers gang members criminals. We have some mighty fine patriot rider gangs in these parts.”

Thank you for the reply. FYI, I am a biker and have lots of biker friends. My posts on these threads have been to NOT label all bikers as criminals.

However, there are a few here that try to label us wrongly in that regard.

These Waco threads have gotten pretty heated but I and and a couple of others have refrained from the nasty personal attacks we have endured.

These attacks often include detailed descriptions of deviant sexual acts. After three+ months of this, I finally hit the abuse button on one today. I don’t care about the personal attack, but FR should not have such language going public.

The lastest row came yesterday. Our personal information has been obtained from within FR and has been publicly posted on FR. Finally one decided to to go public with this outrage and cc’d the moderators.

Regards,
Texas Gator
