As I mentioned, in Waco, Texas, hundreds of
bikers (tattooed fat guys in black Ts, jeans, and colors) were determined to
protect their lifestyle and what they see as their freedom, by violence if
necessary. They are certainly accustomed to violence.
Forewarned, eighteen local police and four
state troopers were on hand. As five biker clubs gathered, friction was inevitable,
fighting broke out, and in five minutes the party was over, with nine bikers
were dead and 170 arrested. Police killed at least four of the dead.
Fortunately, no innocent bystanders were harmed.
Recently )HERE( I discussed guns and
freedom. Yes, yes, yes, we know you think you need guns to protect your
freedom, but nobody has explained to me how
guns protect freedom. If someone is attacking you and you have no brighter
method, you may shoot the attacker to protect yourself. If someone is “taking
away your freedom,” who do you shoot to protect your freedom?
Even violent bikers who outnumbered the
police over ten to one were subdued within five minutes. If armed groups start
fighting to “protect their freedom,” the outcome will be pretty much like what
happened in Waco, and recall that this is not the first time something like
this has happened in Waco. You’d think somebody’d learn: guns may be fun, but
they are less than useless in “protecting freedom and rights.” Brighter people
find more intelligent ways than providing moving targets for police.
Anyway, here’s a pretty good commentary on
the fracas, or fiasco::HERE::
