Leaked Report Profiles Military, Police Members of Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs
The Intercept ^ | 5/22/2015 | Jana Winter and Jordan Smith

Posted on 05/23/2015 5:30:48 PM PDT by PapaBear3625

Nuclear power plant technicians, senior military officers, FBI contractors and an employee of “a highly-secretive Department of Defense agency” with a Top Secret clearance. Those are just a few of the more than 100 people with sensitive military and government connections that law enforcement is tracking because they are linked to “outlaw motorcycle gangs.”

A year before the deadly Texas shootout that killed nine people on May 17, a lengthy report by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives detailed the involvement of U.S. military personnel and government employees in outlaw motorcycle gangs, or OMGs. A copy of the report was obtained by The Intercept.

The report lays out, in almost obsessive detail, the extent to which OMG members are represented in nearly every part of the military, and in federal and local government, from police and fire departments to state utility agencies. Specific examples from the report include dozens of Defense Department contractors with Secret or Top Secret clearances; multiple FBI contractors; radiological technicians with security clearances; U.S. Department of Homeland Security employees; Army, Navy and Air Force active-duty personnel, including from the special operations force community; and police officers.

I've got a stalker?

Is this part of your plan to fulfill your threat to me to “not rest until you are banned from Free Republic”?

Where are your little followers “The Laz-ettes”?

Hey, Is that the name of a biker gang, lol?

Laz and the Laz-ettes!

We Hate All Cops! WHAC! We are WHAC!

Perfect!

Well, you can make a big joke about it, but you're using the same tactics that you say you deplore. That's not really good.

Nossir. Nowhere did I say that the victims of lead paint poisoning, like poor TexasGator, are sub-human. Nowhere.

It is not 'using the same tactics' as TexasGator, who directly called biker gangs 'sub-human'.

It is, however, recognition that TexasGator is disabled with a horrible disability. He should not be treated as a 'sub-human', but as a disabled person. He should be afforded all legal and constitutional protections, plus those other protections legislated to the mentally deficient.

This one is awfully obsessed for someone who doesn’t want to impress me.

“All I know about the Cleveland case is that the accused was found not guilty after due process of law was exercised. “

He found the right judge! No trial by jury. It was a setup. The cops and judge were all in this together to deny the rights of the people to see justice done!

What about the rights of the unarmed black couple?

Has to be since I am told on this thread that the they all work together to deny us our civil rights.

What effect do you feel your jokes and justifications are having?

As I have not seen any of your posts here nor anywhere else that I remember, I was wondering why I was getting all these about you. Apparently you ticked somebody off before but I have no idea why they associate me with you. If that is all the ammo they have it is just firing spit-balls.

“Outlaw biker gangs and their members are vile, hideous people. I would still, however, insist that they are afforded all constitutional protections. Constitutional rights cannot be applied to only one group, and not another, or we are not a Republic.

I *KNEW* if I talked to you long enough, I would expose the inner tyrant in you. “ - LZ

I saw that coming too, and was about to make a less eloquent response. I guess TG thinks he, or perhaps the AG get to decide which American citizens are worthy of constitutional protections. The 1% has a nice ring to it. Other commie tyrants used the same approach with OWS.

I am glad he did not got to 13.5%, because I have a bicycle, and once wore a jacket with patches on it to a restaurant where pretty waitresses served beer and wings. There were bikers present, and I had a folding knife in my pocket.

- phew, close call.

It is their life. As they told me they live for these moments. I enjoy adding some spice into their otherwise dreary existence.

“We know that tyranny can be imposed in the name of public order and safety.”

Yes we do know this.

We also know that wanton lawlessness tyrannizes innocent people and takes away their abilities to live and work in peace. The alternative to LE enforcement is a civil society.

A civil society is a civilized society in which outright criminality is not justified or romanticized.

Outlaw biker gangs should be shunned by law-abiding bikers. Benign biker clubs should not bow down to territorial claims of outlaw gangs. As it is now apparently, biker gangs are the enforcers.

Wanton lawlessness is what demands LE involvement that otherwise would not be required.

It is a deeper problem than LE. It is a moral situation. If people in large numbers refuse to govern themselves and they are encouraged in their criminality, there is a demise of civility and civil society and tyranny is the logical outcome . . . the prospect of which I abhor as much as anyone.

” The 1% has a nice ring to it. Other commie tyrants used the same approach with OWS.”

The biker gangs think it is cool. They even have those cute little patches.

That way you bikers know who owns the road and who to pay your dues to.

“Outlaw biker gangs should be shunned by law-abiding bikers. Benign biker clubs should not bow down to territorial claims of outlaw gangs. As it is now apparently, biker gangs are the enforcers.”

We have asked that the peaceful muslims march against the terrorists to show the world.

The good bikers should defect from the gang-controlled CoC’s and unite and ride for their freedom.

Or are they afraid?

“Now jump in and condemn the biker gangs and how they are controlling and extorting from the legitimate biker clubs through the CoC.” - TG

You still don’t get it. I will prioritize and make my comments as *I* see fit.

Right now, I see what is potentially the worst police shooting since the last one. The issues I think are most important right now are due process and justice.

You see, bikers have no power over me, and do not threaten me at all. An out of control government, operating outside the law and The Constitution is a much larger long-term threat to me and mine. You see, I am a member of the 13.5% (see above) and sooner or later they will come for me too.

“You still don’t get it. I will prioritize and make my comments as *I* see fit. “

I said you have the right.

“Right now, I see what is potentially the worst police shooting since the last one. “

Or maybe, the worst gang war in recent history.

“The issues I think are most important right now are due process and justice.”

Those arrested in Waco are getting their due process.

What I see is a bunch of dudes acting like the thugs in Ferguson. Police are guilty. We want Justice.

Laz got scared that he was going to be banned so he started throwing his buddies under the bus to save himself. That thread got pulled. Laz has been stalking me since then.

This is the level of his stalking:

Something real unhealthy for FR is going on.

Yes. And how you set your priorties shows your bias.

As clear as black and white. Thank you.

I see. They pulled your name into that thread just like here.

Yes there is some bad in FR. Here like other public forums their are those with agendas that come on and try to shape the news knowing that some are too lazy to look for the real story.

They are fed by sites such as ConservativeTreeHouse that use distorted headlines as click-bait.

“Like these two lovers.”

You are one sick dude.

These are human beings too. Not sub-humans existing for your ridicule. Your true colors shine bright.

You two will get along famously! All inner-tyrant and cop-polishing like you are!

Matchmaker!
