Leaked Report Profiles Military, Police Members of Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs
The Intercept ^ | 5/22/2015 | Jana Winter and Jordan Smith

Posted on 05/23/2015 5:30:48 PM PDT by PapaBear3625

Nuclear power plant technicians, senior military officers, FBI contractors and an employee of “a highly-secretive Department of Defense agency” with a Top Secret clearance. Those are just a few of the more than 100 people with sensitive military and government connections that law enforcement is tracking because they are linked to “outlaw motorcycle gangs.”

A year before the deadly Texas shootout that killed nine people on May 17, a lengthy report by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives detailed the involvement of U.S. military personnel and government employees in outlaw motorcycle gangs, or OMGs. A copy of the report was obtained by The Intercept.

The report lays out, in almost obsessive detail, the extent to which OMG members are represented in nearly every part of the military, and in federal and local government, from police and fire departments to state utility agencies. Specific examples from the report include dozens of Defense Department contractors with Secret or Top Secret clearances; multiple FBI contractors; radiological technicians with security clearances; U.S. Department of Homeland Security employees; Army, Navy and Air Force active-duty personnel, including from the special operations force community; and police officers.

The Bandidos and Cossacks have given all bikers a very big national black eye.

When a terrorist strikes we urge the muslims to separate themselves from the terrorists.

Why are not the good bikers separating themselves from the terrorist bikers?

Instead, I see just the opposite. This event has pulled y’all closer to the biker gangs.

“When confronted about your trolling, you accuse me of ‘worshipping biker gangs’ and accuse me of being one of them “

Hey, you pinged me, I didn’t ping you. I asked the questions but you didn’t answer.

Why all the adoration of the biker gangs?

Would you say that someone who is constantly posting about a particular topic is obsessed?

A) I am not affiliated with any biker gangs, good or bad. I have never owned a motorcycle, and have been on one -- as a passenger -- exactly once, in college.

B) I am not 'pulled closer' to any biker gang. I am, however, on the lookout for cop-worshipping trolls.

Once again, you stunted-intelligence troll: I have no feelings whatsoever about biker gangs. I could not care less.

What I *am* on the lookout for, is cop-fellating lackeys and trolls who believe police can do no wrong.

Got it yet?

Did you ingest a lot of lead as a child?

Just doing my little bit for the apocalypse. :)

Yes I think the 1964 civil rights act was a reach too far and opened the door to the grievance industries and destroyed freedom of association and ushered in affirmative action and racial quotas

Well you're entitled to your opinion... but that doesn't mean that conservatives today have to agree with your segregationist views...or that by not agreeing with them that person is somehow transformed into an evil liberal.

Which is why William Buckley and Goldwater and Reagan all opposed it

Not only do you misrepresent the political and rhetorical positions these men once took but you do them further disservice by failing to acknowledge the depth, nuance and evolution of their view points on segregation and civil rights.

I was in contact with daughter of bnblflag after his stroke and before he died shortly afterwards but i suppose i should be grateful anyhow considering you took the time

RIP...and you're welcome...but you're dead wrong about this 'war on southerners' stuff and your smear tactics in this regard today strike me as petty, churlish and a rather poor excuse to hide behind during argument (which you will lose ) on a completely different subject.

Then why did you ping me? I am discussing biker gangs. Just be honest about your feelings, please. If you support terrorists be man enough to say that. Thank you.

Have you noticed how he goes all “Alinsky” on us and then claims we’re doing it when we point out his obsession with the homosexual leather bondage culture?

I feel sorry for him. I don’t think he has any friends.

Uh, see anything about cops in my post? NO! It is about biker gangs. And you repeatedly dodge the issue pulling out a red herring.

Now, why all the adoration of the biker gangs here on FR?

Because you are a cop-worshipping troll.

That's nice. I am discussing cop-worshipping trolls.

I have observed you, by both implication and statement, defending the cops here when there are legitimate questions if they engaged in a turkey shoot. Do you wish examples? There are plenty.

Answer: Your question is loaded. What you are calling 'adoration of biker gangs' is perhaps better stated as 'calling into question the circumstances of aggressive and fatal policing that may have been unwarranted and certainly was excessive'.

The reason you are seeing that, is because Free Republic is a place where cops acting out of control is something we attempt to police, here.

“Have you noticed how he goes all “Alinsky” on us and then claims we’re doing it when we point out his obsession with the homosexual leather bondage culture?”

1. I say that because you are using his documented tactics.

2. Peraonal attacks are against FR policy.

3. I have been told that when someone posts about another it is FR policy to ping them.

4. Your personal attacks are really very juvenile. I am 68 years old and have seen the world. A few petty words don’t phase me in the least.

My father was riding Harleys before you were born. I started riding bikes in the 50’s. I did a US tour on my bike back in the 70’s. I also remember the times in Oakland CA that I would have to search the next day for the bar that stored my bike inside after I got too drunk to ride.

I have my pilots license, Scuba certification and obtained a federal license to operate and supervise a nuclear reactor and my Vietnam campaign ribbons..

And you silly boys and girls think you are going to rile me with your immature doodlings.

Oh, did I ever hit a sore spot! Payola to the Bandidos! Or are you receiving the payola?

For somebody who talks a lot about payola, you seem to spend a LOT of time pushing a particular view on these threads. I count seven pages of comments in the last three days, 95% on the topic of the Waco shootout and MC clubs. Don't you have any other areas of interest?

Loaded question? Why don’t the bikers here condemn the actions of the biker gangs. Most won’t even call them gangs.

Why do the bikers use ‘us’ and ‘we’ to include the biker gangs?

See what I mean? What a vulgar little badge licking hypocrite. He’s got a big load of feces in his drawers and accusing everybody else of stinking.

He reminds me of those guys out in the street who smear a dirty rag on your windshield and then asks you for a dollar.

Look at your post and see how ridiculous it is.

You comment on my time but you waste your time commenting on how I spend my time!

Man alive! I take a couple days off and Biker Gang Adoration creeps into my beloved Free Republic. Oh noes!!!!

Does one qualify as a Biker Gang Adorer by insisting that John Law is to be constrained by the very laws he is sworn to uphold?

Or, perhaps you would copy / paste examples of Biker Gang Adoration, so I can be on the lookout for it.
