If Rights aren't Rights for everyone, then they are Rights for no one, only privileges for (today's) privileged class.

But Waco is no stranger to the idea of Alinskying a group and summarily executing/incarcerating them.

The Confederation of Clubs isn't an "outlaw" organization, but more of an organization to represent motorcyclists across the board, from veterans clubs to Christian clubs, to others based on similar interests/occupations (like Firefighters and even police), to promote common goals including legislative ones, and to facilitate raising money for charitable causes.

That some of the clubs involved are 1% doesn't mean they don't share the same concerns about road construction issues and other legislation that the rest of the motorcycling community does, so it stands to reason they'd have representatives present as well.

The sad part is that someone decided to sort out issues between a couple of clubs in what is supposed to be a peaceful and neutral venue. But from what info is out, the ones who did the most 'sorting' were police, who by some accounts are the ones who did all the killing.

That they are investigating themselves in this matter does nothing to bolster my confidence in their impartiality, any more than the ATF and FBI 'investigating' the ashes of Mt. Carmel.

That the bonds set effectively keep all who were there, regardless of affiliation, from commenting on the event is even more suspicious, considering it was the police who may have been the homicidal factor.

It is a pretty solid bet that most, if not all of the cell phones taken will be returned wiped, if at all, and that the motorcycles will be sold off before the owners get out.

Damned few honest people will be able to post bond, if any, and the presumption of innocence for any of those rounded up seems completely dead, even around here with a few exceptions.

“That some of the clubs involved are 1%”

. . . means a sane, responsible person should stay away, regardless of “common concerns.”

When you apply for a security clearance, there is a list of organizations you must not be associated with. Sitting around regularly with the Communist Party for talks about “common concerns” would rightly have been seen as association.

I think it is fairly obvious that all the 1% motorcycle clubs/gangs revel in their reputation and do everything they can to make others think they are violent and criminal.

Notably including the Bandidos, who are classified by the FBI as a criminal syndicate.

If you do everything you can to make others believe you’re part of a criminal gang, you can’t then turn around and complain you’re being stereotyped.
