"Thanks for pointing out the spelling ATOMIC typo, you damn spelling nazi!"

[X-spurt]

So sorry to wake you from your Nice Dreams, just in time for some munchies.

Most ‘thinking’ people with whit of common sense recognize that people who ride around on motorcycles pretending to be and looking like Hell’s Angels and shoot up a public place ARE criminal bike gangs. Only pinheads that grovel at the feet of those criminal bike gangs, hoping to find a crumb of meth they dropped without getting assaulted or killed by their bike gang friends, can not see that truth brightly flashing before their eyes.

Now take another toke and we’ll see you later. For your own sake stay away from Waco, they have shown they don’t suffer fools well.

Oh its just you gang groupees that think Waco is going to elect someone to let your criminal bike gang buddies (definitely meant in a pejorative way) slip scot-free.

Awkward lead-in to the rest of your post. Although intended to insinuate that positions in opposition to your argument must by default arise through chemically altered cognition, it didn't rise to that level. Just managed to sound like you were a little flustered.

But I get it. You have strong feelings. You don't like me for some reason. Y'all wanna flame war. Well, that's fun too sometimes. I don't mind.

"Dude, c'mon! There's no apostrophe in Hells Angels."

What a parade of horribles! Yet most 'thinking people' do not engage in red herring fallacies to develop their thoughts and constructs, tempting as it may be. That said, the rest of your commentary is only slighly above the level of a personal attack. Mildly amusing, but not really worth engaging.

Now take another toke and we’ll see you later. For your own sake stay away from Waco, they have shown they don’t suffer fools well.

My road plans are north, not south, this summer. Good things don't seem to happen in Waco, or the surrounding environs. I can think of sixty-eight men, women and children of recent memory that were shot, gassed, burnt and crushed to death there by agents of the State. The latest wholesale violations of civil rights amid death, propaganda and official blankets of denial and stonewalling are disgusting. I would say par for the course, but that would be a little unfair. It's just McClennan County here and assorted sub-jurisdictions, not the Federal government, that's engaged in the shooting and killing and coverup.

But what is it, I must ask, that hardens your nipples about bikers in particular? (As opposed to La Cosa Nostra, or jihadists, or Democrats - I realize I'm being redundant here.) Bad past experience? Dissatisfaction with Kurt Sutter's iconography? What is it?

To be candid, experience has shown me that usually what lies at the root of angst towards the outlaw archetype is a fear of power. Branches out from the same neuroses that hoplophobia and atychiphobia do. Not to say that's correct in your case, I have no idea. But it's a working assumption.

There, did I subtly infer with more grace and depth than your initial munchies salvo?

As I said, flame wars can be fun. Dance?

[Robert Teesdale]

Oh its just you gang groupees...

Was that atomic?

[Huskerfan44]

Also, will a “Who shot who, and with what, and from where” report be out by then?
Or still being concocted?

[Huskerfan44]

Lying, then flip flopping is an important input for story concoction.

[Huskerfan44]

Concoction continues?

[Cboldt]

For the assault and gang conspiracy to commit assault, the state has 3 years to bring criminal charges. There is NO statute of limitation for charging murder or conspiracy to murder.

On this arrest, the state has roughly half a year to charge or "drop the arrest" (which does not drop the right to charge at a later date, within the statute of limitations)

There is no need for the report to come out at all, if the state doesn't charge anybody. Would be a little odd, politically, but I get the feeling that folks in Waco are quite accustomed to "odd."

[Huskerfan44]

Sure was beneficial for the “good ol boy’ bond companies, lawyers, law de-enforcement, etc.

[Huskerfan44]

Keeps those lawyers well employed.

You can give up on getting that.

If that is who the good people of Waco want, then I hope they get him. A good many people that live here wanted Obama . They got him. A good many of the German people wanted Adolph Hitler. They got him. History shows the result of both wants. This one will be no different.

[JJ_Folderol]

Was there ever any follow-up on Swinton’s alleged side business of reselling stolen property collected in Waco PD sting operations?

I hear you. I understand the anger, as well.

It all works out in the end. Empires crash, blood flows, but humanity outlasts it.

So far.

[don-o]

Don’t know about that. There was some asset seizure which I do not understand at all.

[TexasGator]

You seem to have forgotten that the bikers started a gang-war killing field in a public plaza on a Sunday afternoon ...

[X-spurt]

Copy n paste artiste are ya?

[JJ_Folderol]

>>> There was some asset seizure which I do not understand at all. <<<

That relates to the vehicles seized after the shooting but I read a short paragraph in an article relating to a LLC that Swenton was running on the side that dealt in stolen property recovered in sting operations. I thought it was pretty shady.

I’ll see if I can find the quote again.

I think that it was the undercover police. If the bikers started it, there would have been videos and autopsy reports from here to the other side of the Milky Way.
