An attorney for two men arrested in the May 17 Twin Peaks shootout between rival bikers says his clients are being held illegally and is seeking to replace all McLennan County judges connected to the case.
Austin attorney Adam Reposa alleges in motions filed Tuesday that the charging documents filed against his clients, and the 168 others jailed in the chaotic melee, are legally insufficient.
He also claims that the $1 million bonds are unreasonably oppressive and that the judge who set them and the judges who, so far, have not reduced them have shown bias and should be recused.
Reposa represents Jimmy Pond and Thomas Paul Landers. He said Pond, a mechanic from Hays County, is the sole supporter of his family, which includes a disabled wife and autistic son.
Besides the recusal motion, Reposa filed an application for writ of habeas corpus, alleging a client is being held illegally and without proper cause, and a motion for emergency release so Pond can go home and take care of his family.
After the shootout, in which nine were killed and 18 wounded, Reposa said officials “commandeered” the Waco Convention Center as a makeshift holding area while they tried to sort out the magnitude of the event.

Your top photo looks to me like the bikers fell on the ground to avoid the shooting. (Piled on top of each other, trying to get behind/under the cars.) And then the cop yelling to “spread em” - or perhaps that was more by instinct by the bikers. (That’s what I’d do!)
The cop is facing downrange and exposed. Many of the bikers are looking in the direction the cop is looking. I’m guessing that was the direction all the action was at the time.
Travis is pretty perceptive about a creeping Fed-militarization of what used to be local gendarmes. It’s hard to say no to being bribed with your own Federal taxes, after all.
With a force as malevolent as Barack Obama now behind what GWB set into motion, it appears wise to verify the facts if they tell us the sun came up in the east in the morning.
What's with these shills who are trying to convince everyone that the authorities can do no wrong, when there is plenty of continuing historical and recent evidence to the contrary?
There were lots of cops there before any violence even started. There's a clue right there. Can't hold a Jade Helm exercise with a bunch of armed bikers riding around huh..
If you are talking about what I think you are, they probably swap out.
We ought to be calling on God to confound the liars and elevate those who are telling the truth.
One odd sign of the croc o’dung is its funny bent to talking sex filth about bikers. It almost had its act down pat, then it started into its obsession about “assless chaps” and the like. Salamander can tell us about it, or it can be googled (so far).
Nope, no conspiracy...just a handful of assholes trying to defend the indefensible likely DOJ operation.
“One thing, you can bet gang C is very angry at gang B right now and it is not likely to let things rest.”
There were several skirmishes around the area after the shooting. Didn’t really make the news except for reports of incidences as it happened.
Your pals egged it on good, huh. Most narsty biker meetings never break out like this.
Anyway, generally speaking, I support the Cops. Especially in cases like Baltimore, Ferguson, etc etc.
But in Waco? More likely they were pigs.
Until someone shows us a cell phone video or whatever, but it's not looking good here.
I can see patterns, just read the first 20 posts with a jaundice eye.

When you’re empty, you resort to posting imaginary happenings for which, of course, you cannot provide a link to a reliable source. You are despicable in your attempts to spit shine the shit that was this Waco operation.
who’s spreading the jaundice?

I listened to Alex Jones. He says it is Soros that is funding all this anti-cop rhetoric.
Soros wants to ruin the credibility of the police on his way to creating anarchy in the U.S.
I have no doubt that at least some are pysch. Ops. Run right out of federal agencies. Others may be just freelance leather suckers and roid rangers.
Anyone that has ANY experience with the system from any P.O.V. knows better than just letting the “official” version of events go unchecked. No way given 9 kills.
He looks like he may ride a Harley to me.
You called him “sub-human”, TG. Sticking with that?
From what I have read it seems the police are the ones who did most of the killing it not all. I would not make that bet if I was you.
The cops don't need any help from Soros in ruining their credibility, they've done a damn fine job all by themselves.
