I was in the emergency room in 1978 when Mr. Lightsey, the head of the Banditos, was assasinated. Shot multiple times through the chest. John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth, Texas. These look like degenerate bikers, but believe me, they are consummate businessmen, with a vengance. They are not unreasonable, they expect success, they do not tolerate dishonesty, they expect loyalty, they do not comprehend governmental inexpediency... they are efficient. If it weren't for larceny in their hearts, they would be Republican. Banditos, come on back to the fold! Christ is the answer... he forgives (as for the moment, I do not).

It the: "It's business, not personal" concept. Professionaly speaking, I've had contacts with various members and things went pretty smooth. Not that I'd turn my back on them. I've not seen Bandido's for a few years in my neck of the woods and was wondering where they've been. Gypsy Jokers are about the only ones I see flying colors these days.

What has the ATF to do with any of these things?

About 300 investigators working the case in Washington, Montana and South Dakota had arrest warrants for 20 more members

So what's that? 15 investigators to produce each warrant? 300 investigators for 20 warrants? They are clearly not hurting for manpower.

WOW!

I haven't heard anything about this gang since I was in H.S. in Lubbock, Texas in '79/'80...

They need to slip some of those investigators down our way in Texas and maybe do some work along the mexican border.

I actually ran into some of these guys in La Conner a few months ago. Didn't seem to be causing any trouble.

The ATF has been to Texas.

Not a darn thing as you well know. Happy to see someone caught it. Must be a good news campaign after everyone has forgotten the last news story of the atf.

These are not nice people. We've had a shooting war going on here in the northeast for years between HA and others.

You know, I was wondering about that too but it was conveniently not mentioned in the article. I thought DEA would be on top pf this. Then again, when does the MSM get it right either?

Over a period of a few years that doesn't surprise me. On the surface it seems high but when it comes down to executing the search warrants that averages out to 15 agents per warrant which is probably just about what you want (depending on what your up against.) Cataloging evidence can be manpower intensive too.

I noticed that too. When I saw the article said it was an ATF operation, I expected to see charges of gun running.
