WACO — Only a few of the people arrested in the May biker shooting outside a Waco restaurant remain under ankle monitoring, and none are still in jail.
Of the 135 people originally ordered to wear GPS ankle monitors, all but 22 have been allowed to remove them, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported Sunday. Their lawyers have reached agreements with prosecutors to modify the conditions of their pre-trial release.
After initially locking up more than 170 people in connection with the May 17 incident outside Twin Peaks restaurant, McLennan County prosecutors have not charged anyone with the shooting deaths of nine people.

I think our pal got a little time out from The Big Guy. :)

Yeah, that could be. It would certainly have been well deserved. I kinda assumed he might be helping his statist killers lawyer up.
i think they will need a pretty big group w bench...
“That’s what it looked like from day one.”
We should start a pool as to when McLennan County and Whacko, have their LEOs, DA and judges indicted. All these folks here on FR who constantly toot their horns about how Texas is the only state in the nation that’s free today. From what I’ve seen and read, Texas is way, way down the list when it comes to being Constitutional. Almost moved there long time ago. Really glad I didn’t. Small town Texas is still mired in behavior from 50 years ago.
It would be nice to have all the video, but unfortunately it was Hillary’s server, and is lost. Seriously, you know there is not one cellphone video left, and I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if all the surveillance video is “lost.”
Tyranny looks the same in every country—Americans just don’t recognize it. I think many prefer not to. It’s similar to not going to the doctor—we don’t want to face the sickness. Of course, that can create a terminal illness from a minor injury...
Thanks for posting this article. At the bottom, there are at least 50 local articles relating to this travesty. Reading through some of them gives one the impression that the whole judicial system in McLennan County is corrupt. And why the hell does Texas allow some retired trooper to become a judge without any formal legal training? We did away with “citizen judges” here in California when I was in high school in the 1950’s back when California was sane.
If the bikers are innocent they will sue Waco for big bucks. Then comes that legal term called "discovery." Sometimes discovery is a bitch if you are the bad guy.
“Why was BATF at the Branch Dravidian compound? Why was the BATF at Randy Weaver’s home in Utah. Why was the BATF smuggling guns to the drug cartels in Mexico?
They have had their dirty fingers in damn near every nefarious government operation against the citizens of this country for the past 40 years at least.”
Note to President Trump, the BATFE needs to be disbanded!
“I suspect that the reason they aren’t filing charges is that the videos would be so damning to the police they can’t let the defense have access to them. Better for the cops to drop the whole thing.”
Unfortunately, in this case, the LEOs can’t “unring the bell!” They can’t get out from under what they’ve done already by simply refusing to prosecute any of those they arrested. No matter what they do, there is no way to avoid the multitude of lawsuits that are heading Waco’s way. It will only take a few of the bikers to file suit to really put the financial hurt on Waco and to start the discovery process. Then the DA is going to be forced to bring in all the “evidence” he has, and that’s when the SHTF! This has gone way beyond the “we were just kidding stage.”
Mom used to say something about weaving tangled webs.
The real killers...the cops!
This stank from jump street from many angles
Scary part is this is what the law can do when it needs to
And in the so called liberty loving independent South.....
Imagine the military so corrupted for domestic repression of this nature
Even here
We could never win a domestic revolt with some govt forces breaking our way....never
This ain’t the 18th century
Depressing
Very true.
That’s the scariest part of all.
Seriously, 8 1/2 years here and my posts are still monitored?
I don’t know whether to be offended or honored.
I’m going with the latter.
I ain’t a part of a pack and I don’t do mob mentality crap.
Loose lips may sink ships but sometimes they also tell the truth :)
When the grid goes down, (when, not if), all bets are off.
The city has already had to start writing checks to its insurer toward the deductible. http://www.wacotrib.com/news/courts_and_trials/county-pays-first-twin-peaks-related-lawsuit-bill/article_462f5c3f-25c5-556a-9400-efd88c606730.html?mode=jqm
A generation ago, I considered DEA to be the dirtiest federal agency. But ATF is certainly giving them a run for the money these days, and the Secret Service seems to have taken the lead.
Think about the 1933 gun control act. short rifles, shotguns and fully automatic firearms are legal, they just need a tax stamp.
alcohol is legal, but needs a tax stamp.
Americans are convinced that both are illegal, yet all they need is for uncle Sam to get his share.
Soprano’s with bigger toys.
Sooner or later...
I think the police shot who they wanted to. All else is just ‘damage control’. There was plenty of ‘Star Chamber’ mentality even on the threads.
It's the 86 law that makes full auto so expensive. It limited new arms and those made after 86 to military and police. That leaves a limited number of aging transferable select fire arms for the market. Which is why a legal, fully functional AK-47 costs thousands here, and only a couple hundred in the rest of the world.
