“I’M at a loss for words” absolutely what is there to say. What a Travesty want to Thank you so much for your relentless effort to keep us here all so well informed. Do not think I have ever followed a Story so close for so long. Hours and day after day the relentless postings of people who so wanted to see these people hung. This was not Justice as we knew it, but was the right thing to do. Thanks again
Withholding medical care after the scene was secured until people bleed out is “technically legal” in your view?
You never bothered to read the early reporting when they interviewed people whose phones were confiscated and erased, now did you.
There is a reason the Government refused to the end to provide video recordings from the black boxes they set up in the parking lot as required by the Brady Law. Even tho having been caught not providing that footage caused the early convictions to be tossed out.
This wasn’t “technically legal.”
And the Waco paper seems to have disabled comments on the last few articles they have posted.
Big Surprise.
Well, we will see how the lawsuits pan out.
I think Texas Gator gave us a good view of the mindset of those who were commanding government forces there. That these bikers are so, so odious (and some have a history that turns stomachs) that it’s worth breaking humanitarian and constitutional eggs to wipe them out.
Well, except it only ended up bruising them.
Godless government doesn’t have much of a chance against a people of Satan. The relatively innocent citizens will suffer. Buying off these lawsuits will be possible, but very costly. But will it get the government to be the subject of public outrage?
That's what happens to a lot of the Waco posts. I was told years ago not to post them in Breaking/News. I posted this one in Breaking News anyway.
If the article was from a News source I'd post them in News/Activism as Extended News.
Other sources I'd post in Bloggers or General Chat.
While Jeff Battey may know who shot him in the arm almost four years ago outside the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, McLennan County prosecutors dismissed charges against the remaining 24 biker defendants because they could not gain the same level of certainty to build murder cases.
McLennan County District Attorney Barry Johnson, who announced his decision to dismiss charges Tuesday, said Wednesday he and his staff agonized since he took office in January over how to proceed with the Twin Peaks cases. Johnson and his top assistants, Tom Needham and Nelson Barnes, were not sold on the rioting charges already filed, could not find sufficient evidence to make murder cases and realized that any other potential charges, such as aggravated assault, were barred by statutes of limitations.
“We have watched those tapes a jillion times, and it is like an ant bed with ants running wild out there,” Johnson said. “It is impossible to tell what is going on, who shot who, who got shot, and there is nothing to tell us definitely who fired the shots that hit the guys who were killed.”
Johnson spent much of his day Wednesday answering media questions about his decision to abandon the Twin Peaks cases. He said it was not an easy call but he believes it was in the best interest of justice and will benefit McLennan County taxpayers in the long-run.
He said his office has the option of filing murder charges in the future if more evidence becomes available.
“It’s likely going to take somebody going into a bar, having a few drinks and popping off to some folks that he pulled a gun on an old boy and shot that Cossack, or that Bandido, or whatever,” Johnson said. “But just generally, that is all we’ve got left as far as making a murder case.”
‘Tough psychologically’
For Battey, a Bandido and former Marine who works in maintenance at a Syracuse Sausage plant in Ponder, Johnson’s announcement was welcome news, according to his attorney, Seth Sutton.
“This whole ordeal destroyed him for a long time,” Sutton said. “The thing about these motorcycle clubs, they are like family to each other. Birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, they are all spent with the club. They are very close. If somebody has a birthday, it is going to be spent with the club. After they all were arrested, they were all told you can’t hang out with your best friends. That’s a tough pill to swallow.

Local authorities behaved badly from the start. Anyone could see that.
In all likelihood, most voters in McClellan County didn’t think much about the district-attorney race that Abel Reyna ultimately won. But that race mattered. He needlessly charged scores of people with crimes he could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt. And this decision put taxpayers at risk of paying out hundreds of millions in settlements to bikers arguably victimized by state injustices.
Is your local district attorney competent, trustworthy, and committed to respecting civil rights? Pay attention before voting in the next election.
Guess they just voted for the lesser of two evils....
“bikers arguably victimized by state injustices.”
Arguably victimized. That’s a hoot.

By James "Hollywood" Macecari It's all about White Supremacy! Anything this cunt writes about is how the whiteys keeping the black folk down. I'm certain everyone seen this morons last piece titled- White Gangbangers File Civil Rights Suit After Getting Off Scot-Free In Deadly Shootout. Yeah, the cue ball was writing about the recent decision of District Attorney Barry Johnson to drop all charges against the remaining 24 people in the Twin Peaks Case. If you want to read the article, you can find it under that title. I Won't provide the cunt the satisfaction of getting anyone off my article clicking over to his dumb ass.
So let's talk about his article. In it he claims it was white privilege that got all 177 bikers off the charges in connection to Waco. Is the ignorance showing yet? This cunt really summarized the whole Waco Twin Peaks shootout as coming down to white privilege. People wonder why the races cannot get along. Now grant it, this moron writes for Roots. A publication that hates whites. What I did find surprising and this should piss everyone off, Google search actually listed this publication as news! Oh, that's right, we are living in a time where its not cool to be white. It's the in thing now among liberal leftists communist. We are supposed to sit there and suck it up.
Looney and other defense attorneys are still working to have Waco authorities return property seized in the investigation, including weapons, motorcycles and cell phones. They have also discussed attempts to expunge the Waco charges from their client’s criminal records.
