Did you note in the article that ballistics was being done by BATF in Cali? Initial report from Waco PD was that it was to be done in Washington.

I missed that too. I suspect that I’m entering information overload from reading the last thread with all the trolling. Thanks for the heads-up.
ATF doing the investigation on their own sting operation. Fox and hen house.
Washington or California. Something like just location and they still can't keep their story straight. What difference does it make?!? The more they delay, lie and hide information from the public, the more they will be distrusted and the more that jury pool they're so worried about being tainted will become more so.
So, now the total number of vehicles impounded is 221. And, just as suspected would happen, several (29) have been repossessed. I'm guessing the 177 arrested includes those wounded so we have 177 arrested and 9 dead so the number of vehicles v. drivers and passengers still doesn't compute even throwing in a handful of vehicles not involved but merely in the parking lot.
Very interesting kill shots. Gonna leave it at that.
If no formal charges are filed within six months, which few expect to happen, the cases are dismissed by law, but can be refiled.
IOW, they can be harassed from now on.
Housing all 177 of the bikers cost taxpayers about $8,000 a day.
Another BIG LIE! Many of the 177 are being housed outside the county because McLennan doesn't have the room and those jails bill the original county much more. That comes to $45/day which barely covers meals. You have to also include general running costs for the jail itself of maintenance, electricity, tv, library, phones, etc. Then guards, medical, office personnel, counselors, etc. If someone has a medical condition or is taking meds, tax payers have to provide those, doctors and extra personnel to check on them more frequently. When released, they must be given X amount of meds to take home with them. Certain medical conditions require separate cells and those who were wounded should have been transferred to the infirmary which all adds $$$. If any of them file charges against officers for sexual advances, or religious rights or civil rights violations or whatever they can think up, then they have to be housed elsewhere and then there is the expense on the taxpayers to have lawyers defend the guards or settle whatever suit. Even the family can file if it is a burden to them to have their loved on too far from home. There's transportation costs to move inmates out of that particular jail. One inmate can break a county if he has a mind to. Multiply that by 177 and Waco can, and should be, drained dry. Of course, McLennon county tax payers get to pay for all the outside LEOs and investigators who were on the scene, sending the evidence to who knows where, their lawyers, court costs, etc., etc. etc.
