Austin lawyer files petition to release all Waco bikers
Statesman ^ | June 4, 2015

An Austin attorney on Thursday filed a petition asking the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals to intervene in the release of more than 100 bikers that have remained incarcerated since the deadly May 17 shooting in Waco that killed nine.

Austin attorney Keith S. Hampton is asking the court to order the district judge who presides over the Waco region to start arrangingbond hearings for the bikers still in McLennan County Jail on $1 million bails.

To help with the large amount of suspects, the bond hearings would be conducted by judges outside McLennan County.

“If the county gets deluged with arrests it has a duty to assign judges to handle the backlog and is supposed to do it without delay,” Hampton said.

If the petition is granted, retired Williamson County District Judge Billy Ray Stubblefield would be the one to oversee and appoint judges from the 26-county region that includes Travis and McLennan counties to conduct bail hearings. Hampton’s petition asks the appeals court to order Stubblefield to begin making appointments, court documents said.

The release of bikers has been moving slowly, but has sped up in the past week as motions and lawsuits against McLennan County have rolled in from lawyers across the state seeking the quick release of their clients.

After the shooting that started at the parking lot of a Twin Peaks restaurant, Waco police filed blanket charges of engaging in organized crime — a first-degree felony — against more than 170 bikers. The $1 million bails have prevented most of them from being released. In total, 47 bikers have been released, according to the Waco Tribune.

Hampton has not been hired by any of the bikers. He said after seeing reports of the slow-moving process, he decided to file as a petitioner to jump-start bond hearings.

On Thursday, a visiting judge also denied a request from Austin attorneys George Lobb and Adam Reposa to recuse McLennan County district judges from all cases related to the May 17 shootout at the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, which authorities believe was a result of a biker gang turf war.

Save the bandwith PA everyone knows what he looks like.

Something Goebbels didn’t tell you:

“The Beer-Hall Putch: 1923
In the middle of the proceedings Hitler, whose storm-troops had surrounded the hall, burst in, brandishing a revolver. Mounting the rostrum, he fired shots at the ceiling and announced that the governments in Munich and Berlin had been overthrown and that a new ‘National Republic’ was being formed.”

http://www.johndclare.net/Rempel_Nazi25.htm

The origins of the Nazi Party were in the streets and beer halls, enforced by his Storm Troopers.

“On its way to the Ministry of War in the center of Munich the procession of 2,000-3,000 Nazis found the way blocked by police. A shot was fired, followed by a hail of bullets, and altogether 19 people (15 Nazis and 3 policemen) lost their lives.”

Were the police in Munich responsible for the massacre of 15 Nazis?

The Criminal Gangs are the origins of what happened at Waco. From now on I will not complement them with the term 1%ers.

No criminal gangs, no shoot out, no mass arrests.

The Storm Troopers at Waco were the criminal gangs.

Re: The Storm Troopers at Waco were the criminal gangs.

Doing what they do best — intimidation, with loyalty only to each other.

They did not give a rat’s behind about the safety of all the other recreational bikers who they use as “useful idiots.”

Seems an escalation, upping-the-ante. They did not care that it was in public, they did not care that LE was present.

Pushing the envelope. Very similar to the “Ferguson effect.”

Some interesting stuff came out yesterday about the woman, Sandra “Drama” Lynch who was supposed to have organized the Coc meeting at Twin Peaks.

She apparently texted a ‘friend’ when the Cossack crew arrived and was in the parking lot ‘directing traffic’ when the Bandidos rode in about 40 minutes later.

Of course since she is FEMALE she can’t be a Bandido but ...


Sandra Lynch had arrived before 11:30 a.m. to set up for a 1 p.m. regional meeting of the Texas Confederation of Clubs and Independents, a bikers’ rights coalition for which she is an officer. The group is headed by a Bandido, and Cossacks are not members.

Sandra Lynch was surprised when she saw a large group of Cossacks arriving around 11:30 a.m., said her attorney, Gary Smart of Arlington.

Rally ... come and gone.

Cops expected 200.

Press reported yesterday 500

Today they are reporting 1000

My best guess from the videos and photos ... 150.
