Sorry, no intention here to denigrate your concerns.
At this point, it’s not possible to determine how reliable the information really is. Some of its validity seems obvious while a whole lot of it seems to be a carrying through of speculation into wild assumptions being made. Just like “Hand up, don’t shoot!” and that got pretty damned ugly in a hurry.
Which was fueled by the media and burned white hot for days and days. Compare that to the almost total disinterest in Waco from the same. There ARE basic facts about the aftermath that can be known. 174 arrested and held under $1,000,000 bond from identical affidavits. 115 of those had no convictions in the State of Texas.
Not a single charge besides violating the organized crime statute (post 32).
Not a single cell phone video has emerged. Police collected all of them. Police are fighting media requests (Yahoo News) for normal release of information.
The weapons have been sent to Washington (Quantico?). Texas has 13 crime labs. Why could they not handle their own business?
If that is how you limit your perusal of information on any given issue, you should stick with gardening and watching movies.
THIS is reliable and not in dispute: TWO THIRDS of the "criminals" arrested didn't even have a criminal records.
THIS is reliable and not in dispute: NINE CIVILIANS were shot and killed that day -- not cops, not soldiers, not fugitives, but CIVILIANS.
THIS is reliable and not in dispute: THIS MEETING had been way publicized in advance, it was a regularly scheduled event, open to motorcycle clubs and "independents" to discuss things like legislation affecting motorcycle riding, and its like had been ongoing for some 20 years.
You can keep ignoring this stuff by pretending that it's not "reliable." But you are only fooling yourself.
