In an opinion released Thursday, Justice Rex Davis of the 10th Court of Appeals declared that officials had sufficient probable cause to arrest two bikers after the May 17 Twin Peaks shootout in Waco.
The melee killed nine men and injured another 20, resulting in the arrest of 177 bikers, each initially held on controversial $1 million bonds on a charge of engaging in organized criminal activity.
Final autopsy reports were released last week on the nine killed in the melee, but ballistics evidence remains publicly unavailable, pending the completion of an investigation headed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Both bikers involved in the ruling, Marcus Pilkington, 36, of Mexia, and Reginald Weathers, 43, of Forney, are represented by Austin attorney Adam Reposa.
Pilkington and Weathers filed applications asserting that they “were being illegally confined” and that officials lacked probable cause that the two were guilty of engaging in organized criminal activity that day.
Thursday’s ruling cites a section of the Texas Penal Code which states that a person commits the offense if, “with intent to establish, maintain, or participate in a combination or in the profits of combination or as a member of a criminal street gang, the person commits or conspires to commit one or more of the following: murder, capital murder ... (or) aggravated assault.”

Yeah, you don’t have time to pick through logic, you just assume you have the infallible truth.
At the least, more than one can play that game.
“And Jimmuh Cahtuh was a new clear engineer too. Like he should have, so should you stick to your specialty.”
LOL! JC was NOT a nuclear engineer. He was a USNA graduate that went into the early Navy nuclear program.
He could not spel injuneer but that’s how he became one. Truly this is picking of the finest nits.
“He could not spel injuneer but that’s how he became one. Truly this is picking of the finest nits.”
Carter was NEVER a nuclear engineer. His last duty was “under instruction to become an engineering officer”.
He never served as an engineer and never served aboard a nuclear powered ship.
Who does. Lilkewise, few people have the time or inclination to "read carefully" for the habitually careless.
You don't post links yourself, so have no room to complain. None.

You seem to be abnormally obsessed with my posts to this one individual. Why?

Hey, HE was the one that posted falsely. Get over it.
“And Jimmuh Cahtuh was a new clear engineer too. Like he should have, so should you stick to your specialty.”
The democrats put out that lie to make it look like he had credibility. Too bad you believe it.
After a ‘non-career’ in the Navy, he went back to being a farmer.
The only thing I get out of that post is that you are defensive. You appear to harbor the delusion that you practice good posting etiquette.

Just trying to figure out why you are so obsessed with this one ...
Me: You were admonishing me for my replies to him. I made no issue of it till you chimed in. —
You: The only thing I get out of that post is that you are defensive.
The only thing that I get out of your post is that for some reason you are so bored today that you have nothing better to do than make up BS!
I just happen to have a little time this morning to rag on you. I'm sure it is not news to you that I find your posts worse than useless, and a distraction at best. Normally I don't waste my time responding to incessant and persistent jerks such as yourself. It just encourages them to post more garbage.
The democrats spread a lie that you should not stick to your specialty?
Yeah, looks like a bunch of empty quibbling quarrels.
It could take eons in internet time until everything about this row become “official” — and the sad story of the Hillary Clintons of this world shows us that even sins of the obvious (like playing fast and loose with classified information on a private computer) can be “officially denied.”
I would not be surprised at all to find that sunshine eventually reveals the presence of poxes on “both houses.” Nobody is sporting simon pure halos in this story. But one thing, it doesn’t sounds like it has made nearly the dent in “outlaw bikerdom” that it has been cracked up to.
Nuclear engineers in the Navy never needed to do it “aboard a nuclear powered ship.” They had land support.
“The democrats spread a lie that you should not stick to your specialty?”
And that is why I am trying to stop you from spreading that lie.
“Nuclear engineers in the Navy never needed to do it “aboard a nuclear powered ship.” “
Carter never made Engineer.
Carter never made it to a nuclear powered ship.
The most Carter ever did was ‘assist’ with some training programs.
“But one thing, it doesn’t sounds like it has made nearly the dent in “outlaw bikerdom” that it has been cracked up to.”
Outside of a couple of conspiracy sites and a few FReepers, this is a non-story.
After all, that is what gangs do.
” I’m sure it is not news to you that I find your posts worse than useless,”
However, you did say that you found my posts to be mostly correct.
That's not what I said, and your restatement of my remarks is another example of how you intentionally mislead. What I said @78 was "Her posts are usually but not always technically correct, and usually but not always misleading."
