Coverage of New Video in Waco Biker Shooting Reveals Media Bias
Breitbart ^ | December 13, 2015 | Lee Stranahan

Posted on 12/13/2015 10:03:33 AM PST by don-o

New video released of the May shooting that occurred outside a Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, Texas, raises more questions than it answers about what really happened that day. One of the biggest takeaways from the incident may be the nationwide media blackout on what could be the biggest story of police misconduct in 2015.

The May shooting left nine dead, four of whom had no criminal records in Texas. Over 170 bikers were immediately arrested on cookie-cutter charges and given $1,000,000 bail each.

The story immediately made national headlines as a "biker shootout" and Black Lives Matter activists were quick to jump on the story as an example of how violent white people are treated better by the police than black Americans.

Monica’s Dress Spurt is getting testy, now that video is starting to trickle out and the charade is beginning to collapse like Nifong’s hoax.

How about you describing what on any video thus made public, that offers any evidence that even one of the Twin Peak bikers arrested is innocent.

You’re in the wrong country. In this one we are considered innocent until proven guilty unless you happen to be in Waco, TX. There they just make up the law and rules as they go along.

I hope you live there so you can enjoy it when your property taxes shoot through the roof because of the lawsuits and the sheer cost of these 180 cases against, mostly, innocent men and women.

The pendulum always swings both ways eventually. Nature and people always strive to find a balance to the center.

Strange how I can agree with almost everyone on these Waco threads about almost any other subject we talk about on FR except this one. Even the most LEO aligned people can see something isn’t right about this entire event and how things are playing out except a very few found here. Strange and interesting.

I’d say it’s obvious these few people are die hard biker haters for some reason or another just like there are die hard cop haters. Haters just gotta hate.

You are on the wrong forum, the RonPaul one is no long here.

As to the worn out meme about innocent until proven guilty, that is the legal concept regarding Courts, it does not require citizenry to close their eyes to clear and present dangers by people that neither respect the laws nor civilized standards of behavior.

The continual claiming this Right or that Right, could eventually become an issue ‘in Court’, but to foam at the mouth gnashing teeth over the form of an arrest warrant or the time required to formally charge the arrestees, is a fool’s folly with absolutely no bearing upon any Rights of the accused.

The Twin Peak criminal biker gangs do not have any significant support here at FR. Notice that very very few FReepers choose to post on any Waco biker thread while there are an even fewer number of criminal biker gang support dissenters. Most FReepers stay away from criminal support threads.

We dissenters are not prohibited from pointing out the foolishness of trying to give a free-pass to violent criminals although we have been subjected to much personal attack and even personal threats by the TP biker gang supporters here on Free Republic.

Die hard bike haters? You can not point to one posting that demonstrates hatred as you falsely claim (in just another attempt to divert the focus away from the criminality you support), to the contrary “this poster” has many friends who are motorcycle riders, although none of whom are bike gang members.

I do confess to being a Bike Gang hater. Not because of who they are, but how they project their violence and their criminality toward law abiding citizens. Their actions are no different than are those of M13, CripsnBloods or ISIS, they try to terrorize with the goal of being able to operate their criminality without resistance or impunity.

Thus far all the news reports or videos fail to give one thread of evidence that your criminal bike gangsters did not start and participate, on a large scale, in the deadly shootout in a public place.

Wrong Country? No, I am in the right country which empowered our law enforcement to do whatever was necessary to shut down bike gang violent criminal activity. The bike gangs are in the wrong country as are those that blindly and foolishly try to cover up that anti-American criminality. The biker gangs have learned that they will find No Quarter in Texas.

Please enumerate all threats that were made to you personally including the screen names.

Unless you are JR or a Mod, you should stay out of that mess. If you care to conduct a file search that is your prerogative.

Those have been reported to Mod. Thereafter ceasing.

A greater problem with the criminal bike gang supporters is their lack of evidence or ability to articulate their invalid legal or Constitutional contentions used in support of their illogical criminal bike gang support. 90% of their postings are attempts to misdirect attention away from the subject, usage of clearly biased blogs and then use childish playground retort to points or questions from we dissenters.

We dissenters will be most happy to conduct adult common sense discourse on any valid point regarding any issue of the incident, but thus far such has been in short supply.

In other words, the threats did not happen. And one more time, you expose yourself for the liar you are. Now that we both know what and who you are, I will be more than happy to ignore you.

E. Pluribus Unum, you’ve succeeded in enticing TexasGator to arise from his bunker to, yet again, show that he has mastered the art of “select-copy-paste”.

********************************************************************************

Well hell, X-spurt, nothing on the videos thus far made public offer any evidence that even one of the Twin Peaks’ WAITRESSES is innocent. The waitresses, just as the bikers’ were shown in the video running for cover.

X-spurt, what you and the other members of TexasGator’s mini-me posse fail to remember is that this is still America. And as much as you, the rest of the TexasGator posse and the involved Waco authorities would like to be members of the Stasi, you’re not. Obama’s BATF & the compliant involved Waco operatives (prosecutors, LEOs and, unfortunately, some judges) can carry out this extra-legal action and oppression only so long.

This will all end. And the only thing the TexasGator posse will have accomplished is to make themselves look small and nasty and evil to many folks here on FreeRepublic.

Yes. It’s too bad when one is so divisive one must at last ignore someone.

Haters are gonna hate. The right and wrong of it is their blind spot. They simply can’t see past or around it.

It can only be pointed out this was intended to be just another COC like any other for the past 20 years for most of the attendees.

I’m developing an impression the Cossacks and Scimitars were there for trouble. Whether it is true the Bandidos were trying to collect dues from them or not is irrelevant. I’m thinking a fist fight quickly turned into a gun fight. Something the police there anticipated then opened fire. I would call that an ambush by even the most kind definition.

I can’t know if there would have been more or less dead and wounded if the police on-scene had not opened fire with sniper rifles.

What I do know is a heck of a lot of people were arrested and given an extreme bail. I’m no lawyer but I would say many of those arrested have a great case for civil court and winning big money from Waco. I wonder how the citizens of Waco will feel when the town and county is not only broke; but bankrupt and can no longer pay for a police and fire dept among other things.

Overzealous and uncaring police around the country are making it hard on all police personnel.

If standing up for and demanding truth and fact is ‘small and nasty and evil’ in the criminal biker gang groupie minds is the price, so be it. At least we won’t be seen as dupes, fools and sucking up to violent criminals.

this was intended to be just another COC........ to discuss motorcycle safety, RIGHT?

That in itself is the most ridicules claim any of you gangster groupies make.

Anytime someone who pretends to be ‘not a gang member, just concerned about the Constitution’ starts closely examining the intent of openly professed criminals like Cossucks and Scumitars, you are too damn close to have even a smidgen of impartiality.

I have no curtains on my house windows, no doors at all, even on the bathroom, and my wife and I have sex on the kitchen table by the slider door. You could say I live by Dr. Phils catch phrase. I mean everyone knows we defecate, urinate and copulate, why hide it?

You're not hiding those activities - everybody does these things. You're just not making your bodily functions everyone else's business.

The Waco, TX police and the county DA's office are hiding the facts regarding the mass shooting that occurred at Twin Peaks Waco on May 17, 2015. One fact they are hiding is who are the individuals, that evidence shows, committed murder. The question is: Who pulled the trigger of the gun(s) whose bullets killed the victims of this mass shooting?

Wow, so you’re ‘demanding truth and fact” also — who would have thunk it. Now you’ll certainly join your fellow FReepers who are demanding that the Waco authorities have the judges they have in their pockets IMMEDIATELY undo the gag order so “truth and fact” can be unleashed into the wild?

Not now nor in the past have you, in particular, spoken the truth or relied upon the facts in this case and prefer instead to suppose that your violent criminal heros in some far-fetched way are instead the victims here rather than as anyone who cares for any interest of the truth, can see they were the instigators of these crimes and as such bare the responsibility for whatever results they suffer.

It is plain to see that regardless of the obvious facts, you must not have either the ability or any interest in discerning fact from your fiction. Unless you find some ability to carry on a sensible discussion, you and I are finished. I will waste no more time on any such foolish ploy.

*********************************************************************************
Well, I have waited patiently for your heroes (the BATF & the supporting Waco authorities) to actually REVEAL THE FACTS (you know, the huge amount of videos that the prosecutors have of the “crime scene”, actual ballistic results from bullet fragments in the dead and wounded, copies of all documents that pertain to LEO & BATF preparation for this “event”, inventories of all weapons and used by the police and/or found [or ‘dropped’] at the scene, forensic tests for powder residue on the dead/wounded and on the supposed perpetrators, etc., etc., etc.).

So, in our mutual search for the truth and the “facts in this case” you’ll join us in calling for the release of ALL this information and the removal of the gag orders that friendly judges issued at the prosecutors’ requests?

By the way...you sound like you have difficulty handling the heat in the kitchen.

I’m developing an impression the Cossacks and Scimitars were there for trouble.

The Cossacks and Bandidos had been trading tit-for-tat attacking each members of each other's clubs in the previous months.

Whether it is true the Bandidos were trying to collect dues from them or not is irrelevant. I’m thinking a fist fight quickly turned into a gun fight.I don't agree that armed police response to a gunfight is an ambush in any sense of the word. One can't expect the police to wade into a gunfight blowing a whistle and handing out parking tickets.

The question everybody should be asking themselves is why there isn't a murder charge related to Jesus Rodriguez. His murder is on film and the person that shot him is probably identifiable from the film. Is it because he jumped a Cossack. Seems a bit much to shoot a guy in the face who is fighting with his fists.
