The Amtrak train that derailed in Philadelphia on Tuesday night, killing at least seven people, was barreling through a sharp turn at 100 miles an hour or more, at least twice the speed limit on that stretch of track, according to the National Transportation Safety Board... 11578. judithathome - 5/15/2015 7:17:05 PM RIP: B.B.

Did you know that "B.B." stood for Blues Boy?

I had no idea the jail in Waco, TX would hold that many people.

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:
