Right turn, Clyde.
this whole thing stinks. I am NOT a conspiracy theorist. Usually far from it. But there is just something wrong about this situation. A biker rumble turning into nine men shot dead through the head and neck I would bet my money all by police. heck I can remember in my youth several club fights with 30 or 40 kids in the street and there were brass knuckles and chains and bats. no one got shot not once.
this seems to fit the right wing fanatic script that Obama is trying to write with the help of the media.
Did you read the full article?
Like the Branch Dravidian massacre in 1993, I fully expect the real answer is some where other than the “official” story so far. Time will tell and I really am hoping and praying it is not what it is starting to look like.
Non existent gangs can get you in trouble without you knowing it.
Years ago, some of the plant workers and I spent time shooting assault style rifles at a local gravel pit. They began to jokingly call themselves RUY’S RAIDERS!
Not long after, an FBI sting took down an anti-government group near here and said they were looking for a man known as RUY RAIDER!
Scared the U-no-watt out of me and I immediately declared RUY’S RAIDERS defunct! I had NO connection with those the FBI busted!
Thanks for posting to the new info.
A couple of things stand out to me:
14 officers shooting vs. the 4 originally claimed.
The claim of “hundreds of rounds fired” seems to be exagerated, but 14 police with Glocks could easily fire 200 rounds in seconds.
All 9 bikers killed were Cossacks. - If there’s any truth to previous statements then the Cossacks were the ones who pulled guns and started the shooting.
The patio where the bikers were gathered was downrange from the shooting — Most rounds fired at the Cossacks would have missed and gone down range, so it looks like any gun injuries were probably caused by the police.
The statements made thus far still don’t make sense to me. I can’t get a grip on the topology of the area around Twin Peaks, so that’s part of the problem. Who was where when what happened?
The more I see of this, the worse it looks for the police. Right now it looks like the cops screwed up royally.
The $1000,000 bail is another big issue. That’s totally excessive and from the statement made to the effect that “If the innocent would act like they’re innocent and cooperate” it looks like the high bail is being used to coerce false statements out of the prisoners because they can’t raise the $100,000 minimum to make bail and aren’t getting out until they do.
At this point I’m starting to wonder who is up for re-election locally since there’s some serious grandstanding and misdirection going on.
The media is reporting spurious BS click-bait, as if they had facts.
The police “spokesman” has lied er...misspoke, several times.
Very little “chatter” is available from the people present. Which is not all that surprising, given that many were immediately jailed, all with million dollar bails set????
Something approaching the truth will eventually come out./sarcasm.
I haven't read anything substantial yet from any Texas FReepers.
Right turn, Clyde.
