Multiple motorcycle clubs were there.
No where near all of them tied to criminal activity of any sort.

Perhaps you wish to assert that wearing jeans and leather in itself constitutes criminal activity?

The shootout in Waco that killed nine motorcycle gang members began in the weeks before Christmas with a beating at a Toys for Tots event in Wise County and a murder in Fort Worth, according to law enforcement sources.


And there in lies the problem. You can not get an honest evaluation as long as you use a flawed, self serving source.

Same here.

And I agree with Celtic conservative’s take on it:

Motorcycle rally in Dublin to go on as planned

Thursday, May 21, 2015 12:30 pm

By Sara Vanden Berge

Dublin police officials said they are not at all concerned about this weekend’s motorcycle rally at Dublin City Park.

Sgt. Bennie Noel said the city is expecting hundreds of motorcycle enthusiasts affiliated with the Gypsy Motorcycle Club and their families during the holiday weekend.

“We have talked to their president and have no reason to believe there will be any trouble,” Noel said. “They had nothing to do with what happened in Waco.”

Waco is still reeling from last weekend’s brawl between rival motorcycle gangs that left nine people dead.

A rally in Mingus scheduled this weekend was canceled following increased concerns that more violence could take place.

But Noel said he doesn’t see that happening in Dublin and will allow this weekend’s rally to go on as planned.

The group has rented out the park through Sunday and will stay there in campers and hotels in the city.

Noel said there will be no increased police presence at the event.

Sheriff Tommy Bryant said Thursday that Dublin officials have not reached out to them for any additional support.

Perhaps you don't understand that every third member of a "motorcycle gang" in the United States is either a gruberment informant, or works directly for the gruberment.

You Chummies don't have that kind of money to spread around, sadly...

----It identifies the Bandidos Outlaw Motorcycle Gang as a criminal enterprise, right behind the Bloods and the Crips street gangs.----

Unmentioned was the Democrat Party

All evidence so far, in the absence of such, points to police shooters out of control. If the police are going to act like “just another gang” let them provide their own resources to do so.

Shut up and pay your property taxes, peasant - or you'll get what the bikers got...

Haven't seen that one in a while, LOL!

It used to be on half the threads during the impeachment wars. :)

Rumors (i.e. the grapevine) usually have some basis in facts. Unnamed sources operate purely to advance their agenda.

I am surprised that Rolling Thunder has not been mentioned once in the discussion of the Waco altercation. Thousands of “bikers” assemble in DC on Memorial Day weekend to show respect for fallen military heroes. They are cheered on by the spectators. I don’t ever remember any problem from these really scary looking bikers dresses in leathers.

No. I’ve never been a “guest”. But I did serve on boats for several years. They were submarines, so we called them boats too. On a boat full of Navy only, the rumor mill always had a kernel of fact at the core.

"You know, be it La Cosa Nostra, or be it motorcycle gangs, if they are a criminal organization, sooner or later, they have to be dealt with." The Texas Department of Public Safety profiled the Bandidos in an unclassified Texas Gang Threat Assessment just last year.

When are the coy-o-tes who smuggle millions of men, women, and children into the country going to be dealt with? Rape, human trafficking, drug running, gun running, aid and comfort to international terrorists, falsified identities... sound like crimes to me.

Dobyns is a proven liar who is such an opportunist that he sued his old employer, the BATF.

I saw video of him being interviewed once, and the dude blinked every 1-2 seconds. In many, that is a 'tell' they're lying.

Start a “juicy” bit of scuttlebutt at morning mess and see how ‘accurate’ it was when it came around later.

Start a line at any secured hatch (under a ladder way was good) and let it be known that a gedunk for Cokes, beer, snickers, etc. was going in say 20 minutes and slip away once the line was well-formed.

Good times under duress......

The media tries to ignore 900,000 bikers rolling into DC in support of veterans and those killed and missing in action.

Same way the media ignores a million pro-lifers marching in DC.

But 10,000 homos, THAT is newsworthy.
