A Voice in Waco

A member of the Desgraciados Motorcycle Club named George Bergman appeared at an examining trial last Friday in Waco. Bergman had just arrived at the Twin Peaks restaurant last May 17 and was walking to the Don Carlos restaurant on the other side of the parking lot to use the bathroom there when he heard a gun shot.

He was detained, found to be in possession of two, small, legal knives incarcerated for hours and finally arrested. He spent 20 days in jail before being released on $80,000 bail. He lost his job and continues to suffer from injuries suffered during his incarceration. Last Friday he asked that the charges against him be dismissed because there was no probable cause to believe that he was guilty of participating in organized criminal activity.

A judge named James E. Morgan refused to dismiss the charges so Bergman’s nightmare will continue. But before he left the court he read the following statement into the record.

"I then saw one police officer in front of me just shooting wildly toward the crowd at Twin Peaks with a rifle..."

A guy with a support patch is a far cry from a member. The big clubs have clubs that are support clubs, his is probably one of those. I have a support patch on my helmet, as a friend of mine was the president of a 1% club. It means nothing more than that. As he said it might get you out of trouble, or possibly get your butt kicked someday. Actually it is irrelevant.

Texas rocker!

Five kids and he rides with a gang to a brestaurant on a Sunday when his wife is out of town.

[Robert Teesdale]

What does that 13 patch mean?

Depends on the club, potentially even the charter. Numbers are usually metonymous in nature. In this case it would be improper for me to speculate.

[TexasGator]

Lol!

It might get your butt kicked but it is irrelevant ...

Duh

Go suck a tailpipe fluffy.

...he rides with a gang to a brestaurant...

"Today's diet of Belarusians includes many traditional dishes. The most popular are pork stew (machanka) and vereshchaka, homemade sausages, draniki (thick potato pancakes), kolduny, kletski (dumplings), babka (baked grated potato pie), cold sorrel soup, mushroom soup..."

I can't blame him. I'm already hungry, and it's not even Sunday yet.

Texas rocker!

Yeah...I noticed that too.

Here is another view of the shooting scene, I think Bergman was hiding behind the black bike in the center with the ape hangers and decal on the gas tank.

[TexasGator]

According to B he was not involved.

How then did he get injured?

[X-spurt]

In this case it would be improper for me to speculate.

How convenient. You are prone to wildassed speculations. Cat got your tongue?

[TexasGator]

Which is B?

[mac_truck]

I believe that’s Bergman riding in the front on the right on the blue bike.

“A judge named James E. Morgan refused to dismiss the charges so Bergman’s nightmare will continue.”

No end to crooked judges.

[Robert Teesdale]

How then did he get injured?

It states that in the article.

[Robert Teesdale]

How convenient. You are prone to wildassed speculations. Cat got your tongue?

No. I don't make statements about specific motorcycle club business. But if you insist on my metonymous speculation, the number "13" clearly means "M" which I would suggest stands for "motorcycle".

:)

[Robert Teesdale]

No end to crooked judges.

Sadly true.

Diamond 13 = earns money selling drugs...either meth or marijuana.

[winodog]

I suspect it stands for Marijuana since he is in a “support club”.
I take the bikers “side” in this in that feds and or cops screwed up and did almost all of the shooting.
But Bergman is a huge dumbarse, plenty old enough to know better then wear a Bandido wannabee patch.
Hundreds of biker clubs to join that don’t weed out members for outlaw clubs

Shrug. Or "murder". Or "mayhem". Or "melodious". Or "metonym" which is actually clever.

It means apparently whatever you want it to mean, so have at it. I'm not going to engage in porcine wrestling.

[Robert Teesdale]

I suspect it stands for Marijuana since he is in a “support club”.

Being in a support club does not mean that one consumes or engages in the commerce of marijuana. One has nothing to do with the other.

I take the bikers “side” in this in that feds and or cops screwed up and did almost all of the shooting.

It wasn't necessarily a screwup, and yes the police did almost all of the shooting and the killing and wounding.

But Bergman is a huge dumbarse, plenty old enough to know better then wear a Bandido wannabee patch.

So he deserved to be arrested, fired, out of thousands and thousands of dollars, injured and his family devastated because you don't like his protected expression of speech? I don't.

Freedom of association is a big one in this country, buddy.

[mac_truck]

I couldn’t care less what you think about it...that was a courtesy ping.
