Somebody planted the sonuvabitch.
That was one organizers immediate assessment after a bomb threat forced about 75 bikers and supporters to disperse from in front of the McLennan County courthouse Saturday morning. The bikers had organized a memorial for the nine people killed at the Twin Peaks shooting in Waco three months ago, but the gathering was also supposed to serve as something of a rally for the 177 bikers arrested that day. But now, thanks to a suspicious cooler and a suitcase, the group dissolved.
Clint Broden, the lawyer most publicly associated with the case, was scheduled to speak. And from the sounds of it, Brodens address couldve been illuminating if hed had the chance to give itI will have a lot to say soon, I have been saving it up, he promised on the event flyer.
Its still unclear what happened on May 17. Most of the national attention the shootout between cops and bikers garnered focused on the two clubs involved, the Bandidos and the Cossacksessentially turning into PR campaigns for both sides, with law enforcement and bikers offering two very different interpretations of biker culture. -

There are a lot of reasons not to post on the Waco threads.
I'm sure glad you're doing what you're doing, don-o. Thanks. It's why I support FR, and I hope everybody pitches in to the FReepathon.
*sigh*
And had been so good at it for so long that only a third of those arrested had a prior arrest, let alone convictions. Some seriously smart bad asses, huh, Lunkhead man?
But Boogie!! Back in post 39, you say of RT: Coming out and saying clearly what you are advocating would take some guts.
What is he advocating, that you know takes so much in the way of guts?
I can. I can also tell the difference between military and civilian. Enforcement of how any free American's right to wear that patch is deprived by some in biker club culture and mystique out on the open roads of America, is OUTSIDE military, let alone Federal military, purview.
Yet that's how it's being pursued, and being ignored is the truth that there is a very strong Veteran pro-2nd pro patriot anti-government presence of rebel spirits in American biker clubs.
Military's job is to stop uniformed organized enemy combatants from harming America.
Law men's jobs are to protect innocents from being bullied, and to help them out of jams. That's what good cops do. I've known some good cops. If that includes really brave good cops going up against the type in one of those two photos (few and far between) instead of harassing non-bad-ass bikers who kinda look like them -- well, that's the deal.
If my job was to take them down, they'd scare me, too. It's the law man's job to help nail them. Too few cops have the guts to go after them, and extortion/protection may partly explain it. It's a dirty job to catch bad asses, and that's a law man's job.
It's the military's job to harass all American biker clubs.
Can you tell the difference, Boogieman?
Where the hell have you been all your life?
That word "troll" has always confused me. It's a word with so many definitions.
I figure "trolls" are phonies. Otherwise, I am certainly a troll. I troll threads for these discussions because they're important to me.
What are misguided jack-booted church ladies?
“Shrug. People have the most astonishing fantasies at times. They often project those fantasies onto their fellow men. The former is a normal aspect of the human condition. The latter is also an aspect of the human condition, but a disordered one.”
Isn’t that one of the reasons dudes join biker gangs?
