These are not nice people. But according to the article many of them seem to be being held for having nasty bumper stickers.

I did not pay much attention to the Waco story until a week - ten days when it pretty much dropped out of the news cycle. I was expecting that any day, they would be bringing additional judges in to get the thing sorted out.

I looked up the Texas organized crime law which all 177 are charged with.

And I thought, "I can definitely see myself in such a situation. Maybe not at a biker gathering. Maybe a street festival. Maybe in a mall. Maybe not today or tomorrow. But, I am easily profiled, due to my own associations, as a possible suspect for 'hate crimes'."

Point being, mass roundups under "general warrants" are anathema to our liberty. And excusing it, due to the vileness on some is at best, pure foolishness.

If you want a big round up, imagine 3,000 people arrested at once, and 13,000 over a period of less than 10 days or so.

Your May 28, 2015 posting is what made me take second look at this event. The multiple head and COM hits on the dead, the nine dead, SWAT on the scene during the shooting, the mass arrest, no murder charges, the $1,000,000 bail, etc. and apparent near disinterest from the national media were incredible.
