I thought it might be younger guys but saw a TON of grey pony tails. 11581. Trillium - 5/19/2015 2:15:12 PM Interesting oddities about the Waco incident: Twin Peaks has revoked the restaurant's franchise. Meanwhile, the restaurant owner claims that they were NOT asked to cancel biker reservations before the incident.
Who knows who is telling the truth (or not)?
Twin Peaks Story
"Late Monday afternoon the restaurant’s operators issued another statement in which they said law enforcement officials did not ask the operator or the franchisor to cancel the patio reservation on Sunday.
The event Sunday afternoon was not a Bike Night, the statement said, but instead the result of a “regular patio reservation made by a female customer who has been to the restaurant previously.”
“Based on the information to date, we also believe that the violence began outside in the area of the parking lot, and not inside our restaurant or on our patio, as has been widely reported,” the statement said.
“We are disappointed that the franchisor, Twin Peaks, made a sudden decision to cancel our Waco franchise before all of the facts are learned. We will continue to assist the authorities in any way possible that will assist in their efforts to bring the wrongdoers to justice,” the statement said.
"The statement said the restaurant has hosted seven Bike Nights since last fall “without altercations such as this.”
“We are in the process of gathering additional facts, and urge that people avoid rushing to judgment before those facts are fully known,” the statement said."
11582. Trillium - 5/19/2015 2:21:23 PM Apparently biker gangs are heavily infiltrated by undercover cops. After an NYC "road rage" incident, one undercover cop was charged for his participation in an attack on an SUV.
That undercover guy was a Polish immigrant, and was later given the chance to travel back to Poland -- don't know if he ever returned, or not....but it makes you wonder who is doing what, and where, and why?
NYC Undercover Cop in Biker Gang 11583. Trillium - 5/19/2015 2:22:16 PM During the upcoming Memorial Day weekend, there will be a massive Bike Rally near Myrtle Beach that has been occasion for considerable violence in the past. Will it happen again next week? Will police and SWAT teams respond, if the situation gets hairy? Stay tuned...

Trillium - 5/22/2015 4:41:49 AM The Waco shootout is turning out to be more complicated. The nine men killed were apparently all shot by police (not by other bikers?) and most of the arrested had no criminal record. Lots of lawsuits to follow, most likely
Majority of bikers arrested have no convictions in Texas
A lot of the "bikers" were apparently older working people:

Trillium - 6/27/2015 5:33:06 AM LOL where was that and how did the reporter know?!
This is amazing:
Video shows lax security
"The entire process isn't visible in the video, but you can clearly see the bag being hoisted up the wall. This at a time when this maximum security prison was in lock-down with a tense manhunt underway....the video went viral, with more than 5 million hits, sparking a lot of questions and debates and even mockery about just how secure this prison is....The video also sparked an angry response on social media from corrections officers and their families. They say that using ropes to hoist lunches, carry-out food and other supplies to guards working long shifts in the tower is a long-standing tradition at Clinton-Dannemora. A tradition that they say doesn't threaten security."
Sure, but ....explain how the heavy equipment reached the prisoners... 11595. judithathome - 6/27/2015 5:52:58 PM where was that and how did the reporter know?!
It was played over and over by other news organizations...it was on FOX News and they don't HAVE to actually have any proof of what they claim...it has been ever thus...they hear it, they report it as gospel. 11596. arkymalarky - 6/27/2015 10:08:50 PM what if Matt killed Sweat? 11597. judithathome - 6/28/2015 12:58:10 AM According to the police, they told Sweat to surrender and he refused so they shot him. 11598. arkymalarky - 6/28/2015 1:04:36 AM No, matt is the one who was shot. Sweat is still missing. I just wonder when Matt shot at that camper, if he wasn't purposely shooting at the camper but at someone else. That he may have killed his partner once he had a gun, thinking he had a better chance of escaping without him. And they just haven't found the body yet. Not likely, but I think possible.
