What Waco biker shootout suggests about race in America

[SpursforSix]

there's almost no good around. So much bad stuff happening, but none of it is accidental, natural, it's all oligarchy policy

The oligarchy, buttressed by the natsec/militarized police state, if ing America hard and deep.

Barry Johnson beat in bent DA Abel Reyna by 20 percentage points in the March Republican primary and will run unopposed in November. Johnson, who takes office in January, said during the campaign that one of the first things he will do is assemble a team to review the remaining Twin Peaks cases.

Reyna has not attended any of the numerous hearings involving Twin Peaks defendants since he lost the primary.

The first Twin Peaks case was tried last year in Judge Matt Johnson’s 54th State District Court. That trial, involving Bandidos Dallas chapter president Jacob Carrizal, ended in a mistrial after the jury could not reach a verdict on three counts of engaging in organized criminal activity.

Since then, Reyna’s office has dismissed the majority of the 155 indicted cases and has re-indicted two dozen of the original defendants on first-degree felony riot charges.
