Wife of biker inmate: Some arrested in Texas are innocent
AP ^ | May 20, 2015 | Emily Schmall

Bullets ricocheted around the parking lot of Twin Peaks, the Waco restaurant where a motorcycle gang shootout left nine dead, just minutes after Theron Rhoten pulled in on his vintage Harley chopper for a regional motorcycle club meeting, according to Rhoten’s wife. Katie Rhoten told The Associated Press that her husband ran for cover and was later arrested, along with antique motorcycle enthusiast friends and other “nonviolent, noncriminal people.” Authorities swept up around 170 bikers who had descended on the restaurant for what one club member described as a gathering to discuss laws protecting motorcycle riders.... McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara and Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton declined to comment Tuesday on allegations that innocent bikers were arrested.

The situation you describe a) does not sound like club sanctioned business; b) does sound like a pretty useless emotional approach to social judgments.

You might as well hate Jews and call them all crooked-nose shyster kikes, because a cowardly Jew cheated your cowboy on a payday loan and refused to lower the interest.

Or call all women slutty cruel bitches because one of them decided to go to bed with your cowboy, even though you really liked her more.

Or advocate for shipping all the blacks back to Africa, because clearly the Democratic entitlement program only worked to degrade the already degenerate, so let's get rid of all the coloreds.

Outlaw biker, Jew, colored, kaffir, homophobe, hater, whatever the hell systematic little classification you use is just another way to say "You Get Fewer Rights than Me - Because I'm More Moral".

It's a sick and disgusting way to think and it leads to the killing pit. It always does, no matter how adroitly the self-important narcissist of the day thinks he can sidestep the absolute corruption that accompanies absolute power.

Boy, you sure get wordy to go along with being so misguided.

I have no idea why you are not pestering someone who is supporting the cops in this incident, instead of me, but that is your own weird brand of goofiness and confused thinking.

As far as your 1% remarks, 1% means outlaw, and it always has, outlaw means criminal gang, all members of criminal gangs are a part of that criminal enterprise.

There are no Hell’s Angels or Bandidos who are not a part of the gang and what it does, the stuff that you don’t see.

My friend ... I fear you casting pearls to swine. I for one enjoy the elegant way you present your arguments and agree with them whole heartedly ... LIVE FREE OR DIE. I simply don’t have the patience you exhibit as you respond to what appears to be the willfully stupid. Alas I fear that your very well crafted words are falling on deaf troll ears.

You're now just a waste of my time. But I'll point something out.

I called bullshit on you three times and demanded citation for what you said, and gotten no response. This is a fourth call out. You are either afraid to address it; ignoring it; or it's actually not registering on you. Why should I have respect for you?

I don't see it's worth discussing further with you. Have a great day, watch out for those criminal outlaw violent biker gangster cowards. Might be one hiding in your cylinder sleeves.

I called him a liar four times and I don’t think it’s even registered yet.

I think it is registering just fine. IMO this twerp is intentionally provoking argument for his entertainment sake.

First ... he is no club member ... if he rides a bike it probably has pedals.

Second ... if confronted by a REAL biker all he/she/it would do is pee their pants. ... cowardly Bandito indeed ... that he/she/it threw out ... maybe in a wet dream.

Third ... but last as I could probably go on for a while with this "person" ... his mommy probably doesn't know that he/she/it is on her computer.

Actually it is you wasting my time by you having randomly chose someone to argue with, rather than you finding someone on the thread who was supporting the cops.

As far as the 1% gangs, I guess that to you and a couple of others, your being in a non-outlaw motorcycle riding club is the wildest that you have been in your lives, and you find bumping into the outlaws, a little intoxicating and feel that some of it rubs off on you as you think that you share something with them because you see them out in public.

Y'all keep coming back, don't you? Like the bear said, "you just ain't in these woods to hunt, are you?"

Ok dude. Tell yourself that.

“Being a free man, or a slave, is a choice. For me, it is an easy one. I will live free, or die.”

I take it you will never join a OMG and become a slave to their dictates ....

I have no knowledge of any club business, nor do I have any comment on any club.

I have no knowledge of any sedition, nor do I have any affiliation with any insurgency.

I have zero knowledge of any unlawful activity, nor do I have any affiliation with any entity that does.

Rampant and unchecked speculation is useless.

The world turns on its own.

Power grows from the barrel of a gun.

Every hardened weapon system has a soft pink center.

For the sake of all living things, I exist.

God is penetrative.

Man is fallen.

I see you.



(Your mileage may vary, depending on what wall the chair is against.)
