Leaked Report Profiles Military, Police Members of Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs
The Intercept ^ | 5/22/2015 | Jana Winter and Jordan Smith

Posted on 05/23/2015 5:30:48 PM PDT by PapaBear3625

Nuclear power plant technicians, senior military officers, FBI contractors and an employee of “a highly-secretive Department of Defense agency” with a Top Secret clearance. Those are just a few of the more than 100 people with sensitive military and government connections that law enforcement is tracking because they are linked to “outlaw motorcycle gangs.”

A year before the deadly Texas shootout that killed nine people on May 17, a lengthy report by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives detailed the involvement of U.S. military personnel and government employees in outlaw motorcycle gangs, or OMGs. A copy of the report was obtained by The Intercept.

The report lays out, in almost obsessive detail, the extent to which OMG members are represented in nearly every part of the military, and in federal and local government, from police and fire departments to state utility agencies. Specific examples from the report include dozens of Defense Department contractors with Secret or Top Secret clearances; multiple FBI contractors; radiological technicians with security clearances; U.S. Department of Homeland Security employees; Army, Navy and Air Force active-duty personnel, including from the special operations force community; and police officers.

“In fact lots of ex-military are in or are associated with the outlaw MCs.”

The dude ridesaredhorse says he is in Patriot’s Guard org. and they honor veterans at funerals.

I posted to him where they had honored a long time Bandido.

I posted to him from their website how the Banditos controlled what they wore and where they rode.

silence ...

At least 70% of our biker friends are veterans.

Well over 90% of our customers who buy trike kits are/were military.

The guy who leads the local VA hospital ride every year is 90 years old and a veteran of every war from WW2 to Nam.

Yeah, I have “assless chaps” because *all* chaps have no ass in them, otherwise, they’d simply be leather pants.

Handy things in the cold and rain.

Your screed was the most repulsive, psychologically loaded, yet.

I intended to say that you were frantically projecting but I see that someone else beat me to it.

And we were not allowed to see any of that happening on the news...but it did, anyway.

“So the Bandios were shooting at fleeing Cossacks and the Waco PD shot headshots at non-gun holding Cossacks?”

No. The Bandidos shot them at point blank range.

So, you’re believing an unnamed anonymous source from the highly believable Washington Post. I guess you also believed that Benghazi was the result of a spontaneous reaction to an anti-Muslim video that few had seen or had even heard of.

Drink much kool-aid?

There is already an enormous silence

If LEOs had supporting evidence

It would be out there I think

They don’t normally hold back on the good stuff

Sure can’t trust coroner or state attorney over this

Does anyone believe in Texas they would torpedo state local and federal self serving versions of events

Texas had a good reason for historically pro law enforcement

It was an unwieldy dangerous place pioneered by some hardy ambitious southerners looking for new opportunities

It’s Texas culture for practical reasons And it usually works

Just ask Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker

A righteous ambush btw orchestrated a serious Texas lawman in northwest Louisiana

No. Just going with the most logical explanation.

“At least 70% of our biker friends are veterans.”

Oh, so now if you aren’t for vaguely gay biker gangs not only are you an “Obama voter” but now you’re “against veterans” somehow.

Again, independent American Men do not need to join a “biker gang” - they simply “ride their motorcycle” wherever and whenever they feel like it, nor do they need to be told what “uniform” to wear when they do. Nor do they whine when they are called out (or arrested) for their own or the behavior of those they choose to directly associate when they do illegal things.

“Your screed was the most repulsive, psychologically loaded, yet.”

You’re not the Alpha Male in your biker gang, are you?

Imagine it in Baltimore, Ferguson or Cleveland. Nine black shot dead, 170 arrested on million dollar bails, all phones and cameras taken and wiped. Think it would just be “move along, nothing to see?”

The more I think about it, I think everybody should have the Periscope App on their smart phones. Takes video and uploads to Twitter in real time. Once video is on Twitter, and has been downloaded to a thousand PCs, then it cannot be deleted (unless the police preemptively have taken down cell service before their op)

I stated simple facts.

You are the one who is fixated on faggotry.

It would be rather difficult for me to be the “alpha male” of anything, considering that I’m not even male.
