    I actually worked with a guy who was there. I was mostly convinced after talking to him that it was poorly covered in the press and that it wasn't a gang shooting and stuff as originally reported, but the point stands that if this were some black guys shooting at each other, no way would there be leniency and/or justice for those involved.

    Ive been around a few bikers that come through my work and most of them are just working class squares that want a hard edge look to them. Dont get me wrong, there are some rough ignorant ones thatll rumble but most of them are just squares that put on a jacket and ride a motorcycle on the weekends that wouldnt bust a grape in a fruit fight.

    Apparently there were mistrials. It seems that there's just poor understanding of the events in all the chaos from all sides and they couldn't prove who was guilty. Is that why the charges were dropped?

    I'm guessing our liberal self-defense laws in Texas have something to do with this failure.
