Waco shooting: Purple Heart recipient among nine bikers killed
The Guardian ^ | Thursday 21 May 2015 17.24 EDT | Associated Press in Waco

Posted on 05/21/2015 4:16:12 PM PDT by Texas Fossil

One of nine bikers killed at a shootout outside a Texas restaurant was a Vietnam veteran and Purple Heart recipient whose family members dispute police claims he was in a criminal group.

An Associated Press review of Texas court records and a database maintained by the state department of public safety turned up no criminal history in Texas for Jesus Delgado Rodriguez, 65, of New Braunfels. And his son Vincent Ramirez told the San Antonio Express-News that he was not violent.

They will roundup leftists at “peace” rallies/riots, WTO riots, GOP conventions, etc but they always drop the charges within a week.

I was musing on all this while shopping in the redneck palace today (Walmart).

I’m seeing God illuminate some problems and it isn’t pretty, nor can I claim to be utterly clean myself. Let me say I am turning my back on some bad habits.

The whole “damned” country is becoming inured and accustomed to violence of various sorts. I think we could lay to rest the idea that the US system of law can be counted upon to grind out justice with Roe v. Wade, though later developments have only underlined this.

The modern “gay rage” is part of this. What is buggery, some special loving tenderness?

What went down at Waco — another example. No excuse for “biker gangs” bent on violence, but it looks like this encounter was carried out with the idea to “outdo their violence.”

The only way back out is the peaceful yet powerful way that God illuminated through His Son, Jesus Christ.

a lot of defenders. They could be right, but seems like an awfully high body count for a rumble, which this sounds like it was.
And the liberal media is so Frigging insane they’re saying the bias was for the white bikers and not the black rioters because they weren’t all handcuffed.
Nine are DEAD!

Something does stink. I have a really bad feeling about this and what it portends for the future.
How many blacks were shot in the head during the ENTIRE LA riots? I don’t recall.

If you did it, they would call it murder.

The video hasn’t been released due to an “active law enforcement case”

No, the restaurant owner released the CCTV parking lot video to AP yesterday, because the police ignored the CCTV video, it did not fit their story line. I can give you the link to view it if you want it.

In Texas, the ‘hostile’ target of Jade Helm, 200 armed bikers taken off the streets before the military operation starts.. COINCIDENCE? Be VERY worried, Texas.

Whenever the media cheer a police action where people are killed it is cause to be suspicious.

Because the media are on the side of depravity.

Me thinks it was in preparation for Jade Helm.. Just a little bit of ‘softening the playing field’, if you will.

I’m finding it VERY difficult to forgive and forget all the posters here who were feel some kinship bond with an organized crime group that specializes in murder, child molesting, prostitution, extortion, moving dope and enforcing for the Mexican cartels, and most heinous,,,,,,,motorcycle theft.

Its like having affection for MS-13, for the Bloods and Crips?

I had no idea it was released. Yes.. if you have that link. Or, is it what I read.. that only one MC person started the shooting? I had also read that many bikers ran into the the one restaurant and SWAT was in there within two short minutes. The bikers sprawled out immediately.. i.e. surrendered. Another thing not reported correctly (IMHO) is the initial media reported this incident like it was a “planned fight” between bikers from the beginning vs a biker meet of sorts where numerous types of bikers meet. With each passing day, this event isn’t standing up to what the initial reports/media discussed and isn’t passing my smell test. It makes no sense to me to arrest 170 individuals if ONE person did a shooting.

The facts aren’t even known, and 9 dead are a fantastic outcome? Thank you for removing any pretense as to who or what you are...

Does anybody know how many human heads an FMJ 7.62 mm or .338 lapua rifle round will go through?

If it turns out that all the dead folks were shot in the head or neck as has been suggested, then I’m willing to bet on a SWAT team sniper who was a bit ‘over zealous’.

I’d expect center of mass and limb shots from a handgun set-to, but not consistent head shots.

Since the cops knew all about this in advance, they all had to be wearing their body cameras.

Where is all the video?
