The woman was not engaged in any illegal activity that I'm aware of.

Club business may or may not involve illegal activity; one does not define the other. That is rather elementary

But the real issue here is that the folks who responded to her calls for help were inadequately armed to deal with the situation should it have gone sideways...hence the request for upgraded armaments.

That is fine.

At Twin Peaks the Waco police were adequately armed and took care of business after the MCs started shooting it out.

I expect being prepositioned had far more to do with it.

I'm guessing the Sheriff's request will be approved...how about you?

I don't doubt.

IIRC the police wanted to "preposition" uniformed officers inside Twin Peaks to prevent trouble on the day of the event but the venue refused to let them.

It will be interesting to find out if the Texas Confederation of Clubs itself was made aware of the threats or was involved in the decision not to let uniformed police be present on-site.

However it does look like the whole billy bad-ass biker shootout could have been prevented with a little bit of adult supervision inside the venue.

Do you ever feel like people are standing up, red faced and yelling when they are posting to you? You think they go through a lot of Keyboards and have to wipe the spittle off of them often?
