New meat? Welcome to the bike gang sympathizer barbeque.
Let’s answer you point by point.
you: 170 were arrested. How many do you think were actually involved in ANY violence?
me: does not matter how many were actually involved (only God would know this), the police had no way of knowing “at the scene” who was and who was not involved. In such a serious melee, everyone at the scene is under suspicion. That is why many were later released with no charged filed, or released on bond.
you:All 170 arrested were held on $1,000,000 bond. How many times, in the history of the United States, has that ever happened?
me: the bonds were high to hold the persons responsible long enough to determine each person’s involvement. I am confident those that were on a video or observed shooting were still bonded at $1Mil, as it should be.
you: Nine were killed. How many were killed by the Police.
me: hopefully all those that were shooting other persons, although we do know that the Bandido (your hero) president did shoot and did make $1Mil bond.
you: Law Enforcement from, what? three or 4 agencies were present in the parking lot
me: did they not say WPD, ATF and DEA? The police has had numerous threats by these bike gangs. They were well known organized criminal operations in many crimes.
you: Do you think it would be unusual for a criminal to pull out a gun and start shooting based on that Police presence. (this sounded like a question was not punctuated as one)
me: one would think that “most” people would have the good sense to refrain when they knew the cops were watching, but who besides this FR gaggle of bike gang suckups would NOT think being a bike ganger was pretty stupid to begin with.
you: they have gotten lock jaw. What’s up with that?
me: Even if I could excuse the simple-mindedness of that point, have you never heard of securing pre-trial evidence and not prejudicing the jury pool? This DA seems to be playing the cards very good for convicting as many of the guilty as possible. I don’t think under Texas law he has the authority to release evidence at this point.
Now my questions:
Are you a motorcycle rider?
Are you a ‘club’ member? Bandidos?
Do you dress up to look like a Hell’s Angel?
me: does not matter how many were actually involved
Yep. That pesky little Constitution thing.
me: the bonds were high to hold the persons responsible long enough to determine each person’s involvement. I am confident those that were on a video or observed shooting were still bonded at $1Mil, as it should be.
That’s not what I asked. Quit avoiding the questions.
Hopefully? You seemed so positive before.
me: one would think that “most” people would have the good sense to refrain when they knew the cops were watching
Yea. You would think so. Which was my point.
“have you never heard of securing pre-trial evidence and not prejudicing the jury pool?”
The police didn’t seem to have any problem at all “prejudicing the jury pool” immediately after the incident.
Oh.
And. No. No. and No. See how easy that was. No obfuscation at all.
I just really appreciate the protections afforded by our Constitution. Apparently you read the text differently. That’s O.K. I still hope the Bill of Rights protects you should you every need it. But the way things are going I doubt it. Maybe you can just come up with $1,000,000 to get you out of jail.
