[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 1642006, member: 12952"] Seems that the MSM media got the Texas Biker story WRONG . [URL]http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2015/05/21/criminal-meeting-of-bikers-in-waco-was-actually-organized-political-gathering/[/URL] Despite the characterization by police that the afternoon gathering at a Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, Texas that led to Sunday’s bloody shooting incident was a gathering of criminal biker gangs with violent intent, the meeting appears to have been a legitimate, organized gathering of motorcycle riders meeting to discuss political issues. A look at the [I]Texas Confederation of Clubs and Independents[/I] website and events calendar does show a group that’s focused on legislative issues and elections. A look at the [URL='http://txcocinews.org/calendar.html']group’s events calendar[/URL] shows that the Twin Peaks meeting was listed on the Calendar as a “Region 1 Texas COC&I Meeting”; one of a number of meeting that happen in every part of Texas on a regular basis. The emerging picture of what really happened on Sunday in Waco raises some doubts about the initial police explanation of the incident as well as their suggested remedy. For example, Waco spokesman Swanton has repeated blamed the restaurant for not refusing to host the event. However, the very political nature of the [I]Texas Confederation of Clubs and Independents[/I] and its website raise troubling First Amendment questions about the police trying to pressure a business to shut down a lawful political meeting that had never led to problems previously, regardless of the people at that meeting. [I]“These meetings have gone on for 20 years, and we’ve gone all these years without a single incident until Sunday,” said Steve Cochran, a national bikers’ rights advocate from Waco .[/I] [I]He arrived at Twin Peaks on Sunday to set up a sound system for the COC&I meeting, only to find that the violence already had started.[/I] [/QUOTE]
