As the sun set and the stairs burst out my son commented on them. Mike overheard and grabbed him and gave him a lesson in astronomy.
He did about the same with me one fair evening a few years back. He also took the time to dash in to wake me up from my coma in Gordon's tent when a few fish actually started biting, and if it weren't for him and his thoughtfulness, I'd not have gotten a chance to hook the few fish that I did. Mike's good people.

without going thru the 37 pages of this thread, don't know if anyone posted this, but one of the bikers behind bars now, is a retired San Antonio TX vice Cop, with 32 years of service...
Dunno what to say, dang guys, thanks for the vote of confidence
I would like to add that I live in a run-down house on the West Side and have been mistaken for a homeless guy, including by the guys on a garbage truck AND by actual homeless people, on at least five separate occasions.
On the topic of former students, getting to teach the smart kids as I do I have indeed seen some remarkable people come through my classroom. One of 'em was a drop-dead gorgeous young woman from the West Side (scion of a single mom yet) who recently got a no-schidt engineering degree from no less than MIT.
One of them people who you wouldn't believe existed but they do.
So how does this relate to this thread?
Pursuant to a conversation we had when she was like sixteen or something, when she came back to visit last year......
....she told me she was gonna buy me a Harley

When I heard this guy had been arrested I figured maybe has was in some sort of not-actually-criminal custom Harley club or something who was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
But nope, I'm pretty sure the red and gold color scheme on colors indicates Bandido affiliation. Here in San Antonio I see a number of clubs around, including a sportbike group and even what looked like a high-school/college age group with red and gold colors.
Without knowing the details I took it as a given that they were sorta like minor-league farm team affiliates of the Bandidos, who are a significant presence here.
So yeah, it appears a 62 year-old Black guy with a bi-colored beard who spent decades on the SAPD Vice Squad is in fact an active member of the Bandidos, or at least an active affiliate.
The world gets stranger and stranger ennit?

It's not all unusual for narcs to develop a FTW attitude. It is very unusual for them to make 32 years, but then again, he's black. It's almost impossible to terminate their employment.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
and you know he was helping bandidos under the table.

LOL! Oldest son sent me a text last night. One of the boys incarcerated from the Brazos valley area is one of the daughter in laws former hi school students! Being she's an algebra and trig teacher I dunno how this member of the Brown University brain trust fared in HS! Most likely one of her more stellar students!

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison? And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools, Being native burghers of this desert city, Should in their own confines with forked heads Have their round haunches gored."
Waco police Sgt. Patrick Swanton said Wednesday that the Twin Peaks restaurant, where at least five biker gangs threw down Sunday in an apocalyptic battle, was littered with hundreds of weapons — having found 318 "and still counting."
The breakdown as of Wednesday evening:
1 AK-47 assault-style rifle 118 handguns 157 knives 43 other weapons, primarily clubs, brass knuckles and chains with padlocks to be used as bludgeons Various body armor "We do expect the numbers to continue to rise," Swanton said.
The weapons appeared to have been discarded or hidden in haste throughout the restaurant when officers arrived Sunday, Swanton said. Some were found in sacks of potato chips or stuffed between bags of flour and into bench seats, hidden in shelves, thrown into trash cans, placed in the kitchen stoves and simply left on the floor, he said.
It appeared that there was at least one attempt to flush a handgun down a toilet.

IMO, if you seriously think you can flush your handgun down a toilet, you should probably re-consider your choice in armament membership in the human race (or any other remotely intelligent species).

That is all.
Not unless it was a POS to begin with!

106 People Indicted in Waco Biker Brawl That Killed Nine
A Texas grand jury returned indictments Tuesday against 106 of the 177 people who were arrested after a shootout between cops and members of two motorcycle clubs left nine people dead at a Waco restaurant in May.
The McLennan County grand jury returned true bills accusing the 106 suspects of engaging in organized criminal activity, with the underlying offenses being murder and aggravated assault, District Attorney Abel Reyna said Tuesday night in Waco.
Charges against the 71 other suspects weren't presented Tuesday but will be "at a later time," Reyna said.
"We're not done," Reyna said. "We still have a lot of work to do."
Nine bikers were killed and more than 20 other people were injured in the shootout May 17 at the Twin Peaks sports bar in Waco. Nearly all of the suspects are free on bond.
More than 430 weapons were recovered from the scene, including 151 firearms, according to a police incident report. Police said in June that three officers fired 12 shots, but they haven't said whether the bullets hit anybody.
