A San Antonio man has lost his job because hes unable to post bail after he was arrested in the aftermath of the biker melee in Waco.
Diego N. Obledo, 40, doesnt have a motorcycle but was arrested after driving friends in his Toyota Venza to the Twin Peaks restaurant where the brawl broke out, according to San Antonio lawyer A.L. Hernden, who is helping the family.
Hernden said Diego Obledo was just standing around but was caught up in the sweep as 170 people were arrested by Waco law officers. More than 30 are from this area.
Obledo has since been fired from his job at USAA, where he was an appraisal review specialist and three months away from being vested, Hernden said. Obledo is not in any gang, but accompanied friends in a motorcycle club for a meeting meant to discuss motorcycle laws and safety, according to Hernden.
Its terrible, Hernden said. He doesnt even have a criminal record and is a family man. Hes got three kids and is the sole breadwinner.
The above is from intelius.com; sound like a tragic situation for all these family members too.
I agree, but pissed is a start. Awareness that something inevitable (bad) is about to happen and why it will is very important. Getting people educated to the facts and fiction by looking at both sides of an issue is still profitable before the next election cycle. It is critically important that we try to avoid the inevitable.
Many people in Texas don’t appreciate someone in Washington telling us how we should live our lives and what our values should be by presidential edict and other forms of unrepresentative legislation. In Texas, we must let our laws reflect our desires and values and tell Washington to shove it. Ultimately it will be Washington’s decision to force their tyranny on us.
Besides Texans don’t care what New Yorkers or any other states want because they don’t live there. We want to be left to decide what is best for us, not anyone else. We believe New Yorkers and people of other states should be free to decide what’s best for them, but not Texas. And if New Yorkers and the rest don’t like our laws and invade Texas to impose themselves on us, that is another matter we will have to deal with. And the third box is the only choice left.
“Where is the timeline from Waco? How many, if any, shots were fired at the police? Did the police shoot before they were fired at? What were they shooting at?
Have these few questions been answered?”
No, and there’s only one reason that they have yet to be answered and that is that the cops are busy fabricating a story to justify what they did. If they had actually taken fire before firing on the bikers, they would have given up that info weeks ago. This is really dirty!
“This is Texas, and we still believe in our rights under the Constitution and Bill of Rights to restrain an over-reaching government. “
Oh really? I guess the LEO’s in Waco once again didn’t get the memo! If I were a Texan, I’d be disgusted in what passes for cops in Waco. From the pix at the scene, most were fat bastards in cowboy hats fingering their AR-15’s. When you can produce any evidence that the cops were fired upon or witnessed any biker taking a shot at another, this “police action” is nothing more than “shooting fish in a barrel” insofar as I am concerned.
As I stated we’re waiting for the facts to emerge before making any decision about who was right and wrong. But it does look like the biker’s are getting the worst of it right now. Just waiting for the LEOs to get their ducks in row and present their side. You’re right, I might be disgusted.
BTW, every native Texan knows those fat bastards in cowboy hats and fingering AR-15’s can kill your a$$ just as quickly as the sharper dressed variety. My advice is stay friendly, and don’t let your guard down. Be prepared to defend your life and castle. The LEOs are not always here fast enough or here to serve and protect you, but they will haul the bodies away if you ask them nicely.
There are many ways to get your a$$ killed in Texas, and LEOs are just one way your day could be ruined. Anyway, we all know these situations never happen outside of Texas in the lands of liberal paradise.
Finally, liberals don’t move to Texas. That’s another reason you won’t like Texas. You might get your a$$ killed.
Just what IS enough for you to take a stand on conviction?
(rhetorical...I don't expect an answer after your attack)
Lessee...what were your words?
Ive had USAA as my insurance company all my adult life so wont cancel with them solely for this but I feel hurt that they would do this to their employee and his family.
It IS hypocritical, perhaps cathartic, but I'm not attacking you for it.
Wow!!
Well you are outed.......
FR knows where you stand.....
Oklahoma is standing firm............
Look, you pompous jack-ass, go back and hug your tree. Or go target one of your neighbors and criticize him/her for the color of paint they’ve used and tell them what color they should have used to meet your taste.
You don’t know me but I can tell you I’ll live my life according to my family’s decisions and I’ll leave you to live yours. Thank God we don’t have you as a neighbor, co-worker or acquaintance-—that’s a blessing for us. Now run along and attack your neighbors or someone who actually cares what comes out of you and your pomposity.
So you’re reduced to casting aspersions on the sexuality of your fellow FReepers, which is a typical tactic of leftists. You are beyond contempt.
Anyone ever tell you that you are a nasty piece of work? Someone should have, but just in case.
You are a nasty piece of work.
Source your claim-
I search multiple times a day using the keywords - Waco - biker - shooting - updates - and nothing of the sort surfaces. Do your due diligence and source the claims you make.
Talk about calling the kettle black.
I make a joke out of your own leftist attacks on me and you continue swinging.
A more perfect case of application of Alinsky, once again hypocritical I might add, one could not find.
He attacked me for calling out his lack of conviction as a Conservative.
Can’t take a joke about his repeated use of ‘tree hugger’...his own aspersion...that’s just TS.
Oh. And thank you very much. Have a nice day.
One of the reasons I pretty well stopped posting on FR almost 15 years ago, is that way too many here have no problem with a boot stamping on a human face forever, as long as they are the one wearing the boot.
Let me know when they get to the scumbags
“Talk about calling the kettle black.
I make a joke out of your own leftist attacks on me and you continue swinging.”

Look Dufus, you unilaterally started it in Post 35 above (from which I quote):
......................
“No offense intended, but what you wrote is hypocritical.
THIS may be offensive:
What you wrote is symptomatic of what’s wrong with a large percentage of Conservatives: Lack of conviction...”
......................
So you come in, out of the blue, and (after starting your attack comment with the weasel words “no offense intended”) launch an offensive attack on me by stating that my writing was hypocritical and symptomatic of a “lack of conviction”.
You certainly have no “lack of conviction” in your attacks on your fellow FReepers. So please cease your pathetic and unfounded attacks. At best, you are tiresome. Any more posts to me from you and I will report you for abuse.
Go ahead; make my day...
