With all those dead bikers and all of this time to investigate you’d think the authorities would have found at least ONE biker to indict.
On the bright side, at least the authorities haven’t yet reached the point of corruption where they indict on made-up charges.
Go to the Chron article and note the snipers on the Don Carlos rooftop.
Are those the snipers that Swinton said weren’t deployed?
Just a bit curious...
Where’s the ballistic reports?
was this a meeting of two clubs, or
one club that was crashed by another ?
In all the reporting ... I haven't found the reason for two clubs to be together ... just that they were

Thiessen said he decided to represent Pilkington for free because the biker has no money and needs help in one of the largest prosecutions ever in the region.
“I’m interested in this case and want to make sure justice is done,” he said. “It is a huge case in Texas, and it is going to need quality Texas trial attorneys.’
Thiessen didn’t point fingers over Pilkington having spent so long in jail.
“I think he just kind of got lost in the system,” Thiessen said. “I said, you know what, I’m going to do this case for free to help this guy out.”
The next step is to see who among those charged will be indicted by a grand jury and proceed toward trial.

Props to this Texas attorney who wants to see injustice undone and has agreed to represent this biker for free. That is definitely a good deed and a righteous thing to do. Of course, this good deed may later be repaid with the attorney getting in with the civil suits that will be filed against the perpetrators of this monstrous government statist travesty and its oppression of innocent people. You can’t destroy people’s lives and expect to get away scot-free.

D/B/A DON CARLOS RESTAURANT vs. PEAKTASTIC BEVERAGE, LLC D/B/A TWIN PEAKS RESTAURANT, et al

V. THE COURT SHOULD DESIGNATE LAW ENFORCEMENT AS RESPONSIBLE THIRD PARTIES
Law Enforcement has been tracking a feud between the Bandidos and Cossacks, two motorcycle gangs, for at least the past year. Region 1 of the Confederation of Clubs and Independents (“COCI”) booked the patio of TPW for a peaceable meeting to discuss the Texas legislative session and disseminate information regarding issues of public interest to motorcycle enthusiasts.9 The twelve region COCI regularly meets for such purposes and has been recognized by public institutions as a legitimate lobbying group on behalf of motorcycle enthusiasts. Waco PD was definitely present at the scene prior to the initiation of any violence or gunfire at the scene. Additionally, Texas DPS admitted in a recent court hearing that they were present at the Incident. During their preparations that morning, Texas DPS observed the Bandidos and their support groups staging at the nearby Flying J truck stop, which forced Texas DPS to shift their own staging area to another location.
Texas DPS also stated during a recent hearing that they observed the Cossacks occupying defensive positions around TPW. Officers from various law enforcement agencies, including Waco PD and Texas DPS, were positioned around the restaurant prior to the Incident. Waco PD admittedly used SWAT officers armed with rifles with sound suppressors during the Incident. According to a June 12 press release from the Waco PD, 44 shell casings were recovered from the crime scene and twelve of the 44 shell casings were fired from the suppressed rifles of three Waco PD SWAT Officers.
In an unsworn statement to the Honorable Ralph Strother during his bond hearing, John Wilson, the alleged leader of the McLennan County Chapter of the Cossacks, said that “Waco PD had come to my [motorcycle] shop several times in the month prior telling me that there had been threats towards us.” Then, Mr. Wilson’s attorney, Mr. Mike White, said that his investigation revealed that Waco PD “actually advised him [Wilson] to begin a dialogue to try to lower the tension that had been preceding this event for numerous weeks. . . They [Waco PD] suggested that he either go to this [the COCI] meeting or start some dialogue or start having sit- downs with opposing motorcycle clubs.”
As a result, there is evidence that Law Enforcement is responsible for Plaintiff’s alleged injury or damages.
