White men with guns get away with murder again

[IIOY]

Remember waaaaaay back in May when all those white biker dudes got mad and starting shooting shit up and 9 people were killed? Yeah, none of them are still in jail. From The Dallas Morning News:

WACO — Only a few of the people arrested in the May biker shooting outside a Waco restaurant remain under ankle monitoring, and none are still in jail.



Of the 135 people originally ordered to wear GPS ankle monitors, all but 22 have been allowed to remove them, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported Sunday. Their lawyers have reached agreements with prosecutors to modify the conditions of their pre-trial release.



After initially locking up more than 170 people in connection with the May 17 incident outside Twin Peaks restaurant, McLennan County prosecutors have not charged anyone with the shooting deaths of nine people. At least 20 others were hurt.



Those arrested were charged with engaging in organized criminal activity.



Prosecutors did not return messages from the newspaper seeking comment. But defense attorneys suggested the district attorney’s office eventually plans to dismiss charges against at least some defendants.



“We are starting the letting go process, although they are not admitting they did something wrong,” said one attorney, Adam Reposa of Austin.



The shootout in the parking lot of the restaurant erupted during an apparent confrontation between rival biker gangs.



Investigators have not yet offered details about who shot whom or whether police officers fatally shot anyone, though reports reviewed by The Associated Press indicate police bullets did hit at least one biker.

Is it because they don't know who discharged their weapons and which bullets went where? It is hard to comprehend how 9 people end up dead and no one is charged.

This is what I was thinking, plus these guys probably aren't giving statements against each other. But still, they should be able to match the rounds to the guns they recovered. That's just basic police work.

One theory I've seen floated is that it was actually cops who did all the killing, which would certainly be convenient.

I'd be okay with police doing what my parents used to do to me and my three siblings. "Or really, none of you threw that vase and broke it? Then you're ALL punished!"

I'm hoping they are just still sorting this out. I'm sure there were also cameras in the area & the cops probably had some type of camera???
