What a strange world we live in, and how fickle so many people are. I was just reading how there is growing concern, suspicion, and discontent with the way Waco PD and McLennan County law enforcement et al handled the Twin Peaks shootings. Funny, the morning it happened, people were going out of their way to say how impressed they were and how glad they were that the police were on the spot and intervened within seconds of the trouble starting, thus saving lives of the innocent. Now you can read how the McLennan County as well as state law enforcement officials are keeping it all a secret and limiting the information flow at least until the grand jury looks into the case. Of course, many of the motorcycle riders there are claiming to be innocent bystanders, never mind the hundreds of weapons found lying around the grounds and inside Twin Peaks.
Don't be led into the "conspiracy" crowd. There were several people there bent on murder, and several hundred who either supported the activities are at least wanted to have "front seat" view of the situation. As far as the "unfairness" of arresting so many of those "innocent bystanders," they will each get their day in court and the police will have to prove each case. But regardless of the outcome of all these cases, the city, county, and state police agencies exercised their duty and protected the truly innocent by acting quickly and meeting an outlaw force with superior force. It was the quick action of the police that kept the casualty list as short as it was. It was a tragedy that nine people died, but how many more would it have been if the police had not taken the action they did as quickly as they did?
People of McLennan County, when you are asked to serve on these juries, yes, you must listen to the facts and judge accordingly...but please, do not get caught up in the supposed conspiracy being passed off by defense attorneys and of course the "innocent" bikers who were arrested shortly after dumping their weapons where they stood. The bikers responsible for the killings thought they would murder and get away, but what they truly got was a police force and citizens united against an outrageous criminal action that trapped many civilians in the line of fire. These criminals got the message that Waco will not be terrorized by motorcycle gangs, or any other organized criminals. I urge you to stick together against these criminals as the trials commence, and again, do not be taken in by those desperate people and lawyers who are calling it a conspiracy. Remember, no one there WAS FORCED to break the law, and no one was FORCED to watch. They all chose to be there, now they are trying to say it was not their fault, the police were out to get them.
Below is one of the "news" articles that is drumming up the conspiracy call:

Let justice take its rightful course. Maybe some of those arrested will be acquitted. Maybe some will not. But do not fall for conspiracy theories or for lawyers trying to plant their defense in the media before they come to trial. Remember too, those with no viable defense have no recourse but to attack the police and prosecution. The above article is case in point.
God bless America.
