I have had several people contact me privately that while they read the Waco threads, they will not post due to the horrible, trollish and plain nasty behavior of an small but persistent number of monomaniacs.

There are a lot of reasons not to post on the Waco threads.

I'm sure glad you're doing what you're doing, don-o. Thanks. It's why I support FR, and I hope everybody pitches in to the FReepathon.

, my source for them being gangsters is the bikers themselves. They advertised it on their clothing for all the world to see.

*sigh*

And had been so good at it for so long that only a third of those arrested had a prior arrest, let alone convictions. Some seriously smart bad asses, huh, Lunkhead man?

How can I clarify what you refuse to clarify? I’m not psychic.

But Boogie!! Back in post 39, you say of RT: Coming out and saying clearly what you are advocating would take some guts.

What is he advocating, that you know takes so much in the way of guts?

Here are two groups of bikers. One is wearing gang insignia, because they are an outlaw biker gang, and the other is not wearing gang insignia, because they are not an outlaw biker gang. Can you tell the difference?

I can. I can also tell the difference between military and civilian. Enforcement of how any free American's right to wear that patch is deprived by some in biker club culture and mystique out on the open roads of America, is OUTSIDE military, let alone Federal military, purview.

Yet that's how it's being pursued, and being ignored is the truth that there is a very strong Veteran pro-2nd pro patriot anti-government presence of rebel spirits in American biker clubs.

Military's job is to stop uniformed organized enemy combatants from harming America.

Law men's jobs are to protect innocents from being bullied, and to help them out of jams. That's what good cops do. I've known some good cops. If that includes really brave good cops going up against the type in one of those two photos (few and far between) instead of harassing non-bad-ass bikers who kinda look like them -- well, that's the deal.

If my job was to take them down, they'd scare me, too. It's the law man's job to help nail them. Too few cops have the guts to go after them, and extortion/protection may partly explain it. It's a dirty job to catch bad asses, and that's a law man's job.

It's the military's job to harass all American biker clubs.

Can you tell the difference, Boogieman?

Where the hell have you been all your life?

He is anticipating violation of 18 U.S. Code § 2385.

Shrug. People have the most astonishing fantasies at times. They often project those fantasies onto their fellow men. The former is a normal aspect of the human condition. The latter is also an aspect of the human condition, but a disordered one.

I strive not to be amused at the output of disordered minds, but to have compassion for the illness. I consider the conscious furtherance of tyranny and collectivism to be evidence of disorder, so I feel compassion for our resident troll population.

That word "troll" has always confused me. It's a word with so many definitions.

I figure "trolls" are phonies. Otherwise, I am certainly a troll. I troll threads for these discussions because they're important to me.

What are misguided jack-booted church ladies?

Isn’t that one of the reasons dudes join biker gangs?
