I will be in the reception area of the McLennan County D.A.\u2019s office tomorrow morning at 8:30 with the intention of not leaving until we have the issue of bond resolved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey know these people aren\u2019t dangerous or they wouldn\u2019t be offering the bond reductions and they know the police and the D.A.\u2019s office have violated the law and now they are trying to hold people hostage until they agree to waive their rights. It\u2019s unconscionable,\u201d said Clay S. Conrad, Looney\u2019s law partner.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014-<\/p>\n<p>One family member of a biker summed up the news like this:<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the Waco PD is putting a gun to the head of the accused by holding their freedom for ransom. \u201cIf you want out, give us a pass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Such a thing is nothing short of extortion! If they refuse, they intend on continuing to hold them on the $1-million bond.<\/p>\n<p>Let that sink in for a moment. The Waco PD and feds would have you believe that nearly 170 Americans, whom are locked away, are so dangerous, that they cannot be trusted with freedom. Yet, if they\u2019ll agree to absolve the Waco PD of any crime, suddenly they\u2019re outstanding citizens?<\/p>\n<p>Like I\u2019ve been telling you since the beginning, these men and women were kidnapped to attain their silence. They were kidnapped to protect the Waco Police from having to answer for their crimes. And we can prove it, now.<\/p>\n<p>The Waco Police wants absolution for murdering 9 people, and kidnapping and abusing 170 witnesses. But they want to circumvent the legal system. They don\u2019t want their crimes to be exposed to the public.<\/p>\n<p>This is another case of government believing that they are above justice. We cannot allow such a thing to happen. The truth needs to known, and it needs to spread from coast-to-coast. If they get away with it in Waco, they\u2019ll do it again. Maybe next time, you\u2019ll be the target.<\/p>\n<p>If you are family of any of the victims who are being held for ransom by the Waco Police, do NOT agree to sign this document. The Waco Police shall not avoid the inevitable day when the truth comes out in court. True justice is coming! And the Waco Police will soon be exposed for their crimes against the victims of the Waco massacre. The dead and the kidnapped deserve true justice, and that won\u2019t come with silence, it will come with the exposure of the truth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BOND REDUCTIONS OFFERED ONLY IN EXCHANGE FOR WAIVING POTENTIAL LAWSUITS IN WACO SHOOTOUT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15688","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-featured-posts","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15688","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15688"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15688\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15688"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15688"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
