It’s too early to blame anybody. Seems like Waco LEO’s are in a pickle as to how to explain the situation and their involvement to the people of Texas.

After the previous WACO incident, where they simply had to detain one man (David Koresh, described in the media as a child molester) to avoid a direct confrontation with a religious group (described in the media as a cult), they chose to invade a compound and arrest Koresh there rather than wait until he was alone. That decision caused a lot of innocent lives to be lost and we still don’t know why.

I doubt if we will know the full story about this incident for some time. In the meantime, it’s a mell of a hess for all involved. But the glaring lack of facts and limited media coverage is questionable.

But know that Texans, don’t trust government bureaucracy and will be watching to see how this plays out and how it affects our individual rights should we be involved in a similar situation. Our perception of justice may be different than other states because we still believe our Constitution and Bill of Rights were written to protect us FROM government, not the other way round.

So I must presume the bikers are innocent until proven guilty as charged by factual evidence presented in a court of law and decided upon by a jury of their peers. Hopefully they will be brought to trial and convicted or acquitted of any charges as soon as possible.

Since when did the Constitution mean a goddamn thing any more?

1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th and 8th Amendment violations are all over the map here.

Good fodder for those who get all sticky and excited about "mowing down" "criminal gangs" and especially love the gleam on the boot which comes down on the face of their fellow men.

It's almost as if they don't think it can go both ways.
