Do you think we are idiots? The article you linked to covers a lawsuit that two customers (who were INSIDE and can have no personal knowledge of what transpired outside). The verbiage you quoted was from their lawyer (who is clearly seek a settlement to “go away”) who ALSO WAS NOT THERE TO WITNESS ANYTHING. Yet you post this verbiage as “FACTS”. You are despicable and not worthy of being considered a FReeper. I suggest you go service some of your leather wearing authority figures.
“Do you think we are idiots?”
I won’t argue with you on that one.
“Yet you post this verbiage as “FACTS”. “
Duh ... I clearly said “Suit says”.
“lawsuit that two customers” . . .
. . . who, aren’t they. entitled to make their case and claim for the damages they suffered, based on any and all information available to them not only based on what they witnessed and experienced and any and all information available at the time they filed suit, but all information that comes available during discovery?
The waitresses were also inside, and their information was not worthless. For one thing they commented on looking out the windows. For another thing, there is the video that the AP viewed and summarized.
This is a civil suit which will have no bearing on the criminal trials of anyone. It cannot harm the bikers. It is a civil case which does not name the bikers, individually or as a corporate entity. Have no fear, the bikers are not named in this suit and cannot be harmed! Are you reassured yet?? It is information that we can evaluate. You evaluate it as worthless. OK, BUT . . .
At least be gracious enough to allow that these innocent victims have a right to redress, rather than interpreting their claim through the lens of what it means to the bikers, for Crying Out Loud, as Rush would say. Waco is not only about wrongful arrest of bikers. There are other victims, such as the dead and wounded and their families, and other victims such as these who deserve their day in Court, as well as any wrongfully arrested bikers deserve their day in Court.
My observation that, if it is not pro-biker, it is viewed by some commentators here, to be all lies and misinformation to be dismissed, makes me all the more motivated to stand up for the other victims of Waco that day. You are free to stand up for wrongfully arrested bikers. Shame on you for your attempt to discredit other victims. It is not . . . seemly.
