WACO, Texas – Several hundred bikers protested Sunday outside a courthouse in Waco over the continued jailing of more than 100 bikers, friends and family members three weeks after a deadly shootout at a restaurant.
Bikers proclaimed their constitutional rights and held signs outside the McLennan County courthouse. Before they parked in front of the court building, they circled the jail and detention center twice.
"We wanted to let the boys know we were here," Sons of Liberty motorcycle club member Mel Robins said. The protest was organized by the club's Dallas chapter.
The Confederation of Clubs and Independents urged members in an email to avoid the protest so as not to "exacerbate what is already a highly charged" situation. That group is the one that organized the May 17 meeting at a Waco Twin Peaks that ended in gunfire.
