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.

I believe the high bail is the way law enforcement and the judicial system in Texas sends a message to the good guys; think twice next time, before you risk the safety of innocents in our jurisdiction.

Excellent point, and one I had not considered. Kudos.

Humans have the right to life, liberty and happiness. Humanity has determined that certain type that have no regard for other’s rights should be denied their right to life, liberty and happiness.

Yup. Just as I thought. You'd kill them whatever their crime.

Soon, those who object to gay marriage will be deemed 'having no regard to others rights'. Soon, those who commit the 'hate speech' of denigrating Muslims or gays will be deemed 'having no regard to others rights'. Those people will be deemed 'sub humans' by your definition. This makes it easy to order their execution.

You are, indeed, a, Final Solution fascist.

I have always been curious. Can you show me the holster you carry your shoulder weapon in?

Look who on top and how long it takes for alphabetical order to start.

I don’t want to automatically condemn LE as some do here.

“Who is an addict? Most of us do not have to think twice about this question. We know! Our whole life and thinking was centered in drugs in one form or another— the getting and using and finding ways and means to get more. We lived to use and used to live. Very simply, an addict is a man or woman whose life is controlled by drugs. We are people in the grip of a continuing and progressive illness whose ends are always the same: jails, institutions, and death.”

I didn’t know. Now I understand. I will be more patient with you in the future. Have a nice day.

Well, to be 100%, I'm not condemning LE, but I do believe this bears looking at. I sure would like a few facts to emerge. Maybe the police videos, or the videos of participants and onlookers.

Something is starting to smell, if nothing is being released.

“I don’t know too much about biker culture, but from what I have learned, ALL biker clubs in a given area must support the dominant club in the geographic area. The finest Christian biker group whose members never so much as shoplifted in their entire lives would be considered a ‘support club’.

The Attorney General might as well have said. “All the imprisoned are humans.” It carries as much significance. “

The support club people could just as easily go out and ride somewhere else, with somebody else. But they choose to ride with known criminals.

It is perhaps the middle ground that they feel works for them. Monday-Friday job. Wife and kids at home. But the riding gives an outlet for the thrill of hanging out where some degree of risk is present.

Spend half a day reading about the criminal biker gangs, across the country. You will learn for yourself that murder and mayhem is part of the culture, their reason for associating. And they welcome the groupies, wanna bees, and hangers on since that lends some credibility, respectability, cover for them.

The bikers good and bad share the like of danger, rebel imagery, etc.

The wives and employers of the good guys that got locked up, will be asking “why did he do something so obviously stupid?”

“Look who on top and how long it takes for alphabetical order to start.”

I started looking at the National Confederation of Clubs and looked at various state and local chapters they link.

The Texas Confederation of Clubs and Independents which hosted the Twin Peaks meeting ... ALL state and local chairmen are Banditos or Bandito support gangs (wear the bandito support patch).

Tennessee
Louisiana
California
Florida

The names change but the game is the same.

It is a big money racket. I bet the mafia wishes it were so easy.

I am glad you have recovered from your drug addiction. Now that I know why you post such vile I do not hold it against you personally. Once your brain has been so damaged societal relationships are hard to maintain.

One of relatives of one that was killed said he was a good family guy that wasn’t in a gang and never liked violence, just the companionship of the friendly bikers.

Later his son said ““He hung out with Bandidos,”

LOL, nice try, troll. I have found that the people I meet in the rooms of recovery are far more spiritual than 'Earth People'.

My societal relationships are varied, many, and of great quality. But thank you for your condescending pretense at sounding concerned, fascist-who-wishes-to-kill-those-he-deems-subhuman.

I note, also, that you are frantic to distract from your admission that you would label humans as 'sub humans' and deprive them of life. That is the Nazi way.

Anyone who believes as you apparently do, does not belong on this forum.

“Our beloved Founder and the Owner of this site once used some pretty coarse language for someone who richly merited it. Your despicable post 545 has now earned you that honor as well.”

The dude has called me mentally derange for eating lead as a kid and thrown up a photo of a disabled couple as an example of deranged lovers after bringing into the conversation some lady that seldom posts but who he is stalking while I try to be sympathetic to his condition and you go off on me?

Are you a recovering addict also?

He's just dismissed all of us who have recovered from a hopeless state of mind and body.

He just pissed off the entire 12-step community on this forum -- a sizable contingent!

Perhaps he would declare us 'sub-human' and have us killed, too. Hitler did.

There is definitely SOMETHING wrong with you.

Your instincts go to the basest of fascist urges.

“and deprive them of life. “

I take it then that you are against the death penalty.

It's on my profile page. You can put stuff on there you know. I sent you that Seig Heil! video. It would be a good start for yours.

In certain circumstances, I would impose the death penalty. However, I would never label them as subhuman, as you have an entire group of people. I would accord them all rights, including a fair trial with a jury of their peers.

A 'sub human' has no such rights. It is the very definition of the word sub-human. It is below a human.

Your way is fascism; my way is how this Republic was envisioned.
