I am sure glad none of those Poor Girls that work in that restaurant were injured.

According to the Waco PD spokesperson, no civillians and no Law Enforcement were injured. 9 bikers doa and 192 arrest so far.
Twin Peaks closed for 7 days and has had their franchise revoked by the company.

It's worse than 'let's have bikers recuiit'. They had reoccurring biker nights to attract their business, and were warned by the police that is not a good idea. The waitresses said there were always fights on Biker night. The management did not cooperate with the police or take the warnings seriously.
As as result, all this girls are without a job. Now, they have to find another job that takes advantage of their obvious assets.

Our local bikers hang out at Tim Hortons. One night they foiled a robbery at the gas station next door.

One night they foiled a robbery at the gas station next door. I can imagine it went something like this: The biggest biker, the one with arms and legs as thick as saplings, sauntered across the street and said, "Look here. You must desist. This is not the Canadian way." The perpetrator looked up, said, "Oh. OK," dropping his tie iron in a trash bin as he walked away. When the Mounties arrived on horseback singing Ride Forever the bikers joined in, in harmony, and passed around Canadian Bay Breezes in those Mason jars, the ones with the handles on them. Then they all sang a few stanzas from The Lumberjack Song as the Mounties rode off into the snow drifts. Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.

According to some experts, it will be hard to prosecute these folks, because there will be a lot of 'self defense' claims (they feared for their life).
In chaos of deadly Texas gang fight, self-defense claims may abound

Article writes: *bolding mine* The rub will be "legally armed." "If they are there in a public place, legally armed, they can argue they were using self-defense," said Susan Klein, a professor of law at the University of Texas with expertise in criminal law.I wonder how many of the 170+ bikers will be able to produce a conceal handgun lic. The other offense will be if they where carrying a firearm in a bar which is also illegal in Texas. Some may get off on the self defense claim though most likely depending on what video evidence is available. "You were not there for the beginning. You will not be there for the end.

US toddler kills himself with mother's gun - BBC News
Another sacrifice on the altar. And I notice the prosecutors are racing to say they're considering prosecution. Because never let it be thought that there could be any collective responsibility for these tragedies - it's all the fault of other people. Sigh Edited by vimesey, : No reason given.Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

Come on now. What the liberal media doesn't report is how many three-year-olds handle firearms and don't kill themselves.

Isn't it collective responsibility that tries putting fault on 'other people'? Prosecuting the negligent mother puts fault directly where the fault belongs.Love your enemies!

I notice the prosecutors are racing to say they're considering prosecution. I assumed that this statement was some of that wry and dry British humor taking a pot shot at US prosecutors. Under US law, there is no real reason not to carry a gun in your purse in many jurisdictions, and it is absolutely required that women let go of their purses at some point. I suppose that the real criminal in this sad affair, namely the gun wielding three year old, has already been punished enough. Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846) History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Martin Luther King If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions? Scott Adams
