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.

So let’s kill ‘em all!

A less than brilliant analysis of the situation...especially since the forensics haven't even been completed and you have no special knowledge of caliber or distance from the dead gang members the shots were fired from.

But then I see one of your homey's is already on here claiming the County Coroner and DA's office can't be trusted, so I guess you have that angle covered as well.

Pfft.

He’s got a point, guys.

After all, the coroner and DA did such a great job with Vince Foster’s suicide.

I found an answer that a biker posted:

“The biker community is a group unto itself and the unwritten laws are obeyed. If you want to form a club or ride with a club that club must be sanctioned by the dominate outlaw group in your area if you cherish your teeth. If your club wants to wear a bottom rocker it must pass the approval of the club in your area, in our case, the Bandidos. The other clubs in our area are support groups such as Los Malos, Guardians and the Mavericks. They actually support the Bandidos, by that I mean that a portion of their dues actually goes to the Bandidos.

The Bandidos don’t exact any dues from patriotic groups such as the Patriot Guard Riders.

Have you seen any Patriot Guard Riders with a bottom rocker?

Technically speaking, PGR isn’t actually a “Motorcycle Club.”

BIG MONEY!

A MASS defection of Bandidos bikie members to the Hells Angels in Sydney came with a price tag of $6 million in an extraordinary peacekeeping deal struck between the two former rival gangs.

The payout to secure the defections, aimed at bolstering Hells Angels ranks in NSW, included the formal signing of a contract, The Sun-Herald can reveal.

It doesn’t HAVE to be someone who is homo to mention things of frequent homo attention, it can just be a petty taunter.


I assume it’s arrested development.

Are you saying they botched TM and MB autopsies also?

I know that and you know that but the two who were obsessing over homo-erotic fetishes don’t seem to know that.

Perhaps they’ve never seen “assless” chaps worn in their normal, heterosexual context.

[HiTech Redneck just puked, I bet]

Go read the Conservative Treehouse article and you'll see that it includes a list of caveats, none of which TexasGator bothered to include in his posts.Otherwise you might realize that Conservative Treehouse has misgivings about it:

By the same token the Treehouse analysis avoids looking into the wider issue of Cossack/Bandido gang beefs which led up to the Twin Peaks shootout, such as the stabbing of a Cossack for which three Bandidos are being held for murder, the arson of a Cossack clubhouse, and tit for tat beat downs by one group against the other. All of which provide context for what happened at Twin Peaks and support the WaPo sources version of events.

I'd also take issue with the Treehouse expectation that the WaPo story should account for every bullet fired in the melee. Its an eyewitness account from ONE person who ran for his life after the guns started blazing.

As I pointed out earlier in responding to the bullets they take issue with that but IN the interview he says

1 was shot point blank then 3 more and 2 more were gunned down while running.

That is six.

Earlier a thread was started with the headline from CTH that LE had fired thousands of rounds. The did not comment on their source but the did link it, probably thinking most of their Kool-Aid drinkers would never bother to click the link.

I clicked the link and it was a lawsuit filing of the Don Carlos Restaurant against the twin peaks.

Not only was the thousands of rounds just lawyer speak in the filing it said ‘by LE AND bikers’.

CTH is just click bait for the anti-police dudes here.
