re: Biker Shootout at the Twin Peaks in Waco, TX

I'm saying that members of OMCs that were present may be on the hook for more than just the brawl activities, and that if so, that may not be legally problematic.

I have no problem with anyone actually guilty of a real crime being prosecuted for those crimes.

Now, if it turns out that there are tons of non-1%ers locked up who also had no involvement in the brawl (and I'm guessing there are some), that is going to be problematic.

Now you're finally getting to the root of the problem here. From every report I've read about the 170 arrested, the majority of them had no criminal record, were not members of any 1%er "OMG", nor was there any evidence of them having anything to do with the fight/shootout in the parking lot. The cops went in and arrested everyone who looked like a biker irregardless of any club affiliation or any proof of them doing anything. They even arrested guys who showed up AFTER everything was over. Not only that, but they then changed them all with the same bogus, but very serious, felony. They didn't even bother changing the wording on any of the individual arrest warrants, just the names. And on top of that the cops then skipped the normal procedure of going to a real judge and instead found a ex-cop "Justice of the Peace" with literally ZERO legal training and had him set these absurdly high one million dollar bonds on everyone.

And all that's on top of the fact that the more information that slowly trickles out (no thanks to the Waco PD) the more it looks like it was the cops who killed and wounded most, if not all, of the almost 30 people shot in the parking lot.
