Tuesday Holy Shits

[kams]

Are you guys seeing this stuff in Waco, TX? H is there for work right now

[pixy0stix]

It's all the arsenic in their water supply that drives people crazy.

[kams]

I'll ship a big load of Britas right now.


He's trying to switch hotels this morning - his is directly across from the mall that's the reported meeting place. hopefully he can get dinner to reheat before things get going. Reports are that police & civilians will not be spared if they are in the way. Good heavens.

Feel free to add whatever is making you say "holy shit" this morning, btw.

[itsme]

Last I heard, they had a green light on the cops.

[jene]

Holy shit is exactly what I said when I saw that

I thought the WACO thing was over yesterday. No? Cannot find much about it on the news here.

[Wines Not Whines]

I've been busy at work and haven't had time to see the news yet today. Yikes. Crazy old white men run amok.

[kams]

For some reason I'm having a hell of a time loading cnn, but from what my parents are reading (& panicking over), other gangs are in the mix now with the intention of harming cops. They believe cops killed some of the bikers in the big scuffle, so now it's war on cops as well as turf .

[pixy0stix]

But when are they going to bring in the tanks? Because you know they have some.

Me too, I thought it was something that had happened within a pretty isolate group and was a one-time thing, didn't realize it was ongoing and now involving police and potentially bystanders. I hope your H can switch hotels and hunker down, kams!

They're going to bring in the tanks from Obama's secret bunkers in West Texas, didn't you hear?

Oooooooooooooh... riiiiiiiiiiiiight. 

I do want to know why the National Guard hasn't been deployed.

CNN is saying that other members of the gangs have been called in. I dunno. The whole things is ::flaps hands:: speculation at this point.

It is. Who's to know yet.

But, uh, my H is across the street from ground zero, so I'd sort of like him to heed the advice of the police and news sources. For Pete's sake, H.

Brenda is the worst.

Just kidding. I don't even know Brenda. I hope your H escapes to safer parts real soon.

Obviously we want Mr. Kams to be safe! I wouldn't want to be there at all, yeesh. Is he there with the team or on a recruiting trip? I hope he can get moved to a safer location and nope the fuck right out of there!

He's there with just one of his guys that's still in the individual portion of the NCAAs.

I havent heard from him in a few hours, which I'm sure means they are dealing with prepping for potential lockdowns/curfews tonight, maybe transferring hotels, and getting a practice in. Not the time to leave me hanging, H!!

[bostonmichelle]

I hope Mr. Kams is able to relocate to a better located hotel. I haven't been keeping up with all the stories.

Ugh, Kams! I hope you hear from him ASAP!

Just got a text from him. They just finished practicing. Still no word on if they can get away from the action, though!

[fuckyourcouch]

I went to college there, and there were tons of hotels far from that area then, and there are even more now. I hope your h finds something quickly.

He hasn't had any luck so far, but he hasn't had much time to work on it, either. I'm hoping they can at least move him to the back side of the hotel or a higher floor. But, it's probably overboard to move. I'm sure if it's as crazy as it's reported to be, there is a hefty police presence, and he'll be fine as long as he stays in.

[Brit]

kams, I hope your H stays safe. What a crazy situation!

[pixy0stix]

Goddammit Brenda, you have one job!

[kams]

He just said that no hotel rooms are available due to the NCAAs and "biker gatherings" OMG!!!!

He did tell me that they are finished hitting, are grabbing lunch, then will pick up dinner that they can heat up at hotel and will stay in for the rest of the evening.

I asked him to avoid eye contact with anyone in leather. Good grief.

[kams]

And now I hope to God that nothing crazy happens!

Try the Hilton or even a little south in Hewitt - I think there's a ramada and Hewitt is a sleepy suburb, shouldn't be busy.
If he looks north of baylor there are several there too - holiday inn, Hampton, Fairfield, quality.

When does he get out of there? CNN (and a few other outlets) is currently reporting that while they don't believe the violence is over, they also do not think that another attack is imminent. According to a a government informant, the biker gangs typically like to lay low. They're predicting backlash at a later point in time, stating that the gangs are patient, but never forget.

Basically, retaliation is coming, but not right now.

Well that's good news! Last I heard, droves are bikers are arriving as we speak. He is there until his guy loses - no later than Monday.

I clearly need to be more on top of the reports.

I'm sure it changes frequently. This is the article that I just read. Scary stuff! I wouldn't be happy if DH was there, regardless of what the reports say. I totally get being worried.

He said everything seems pretty normal. They'll still stay in tonight, but it's not seeming quite as eminent as I thought it was this morning. Still, yikes.
