About 20 motorcyclists protest mass incarceration of biker suspects in Waco
About 20 motorcyclists stood in front of the McLennan County Courthouse about noontime Saturday to protest the arrest of 170 suspects in the Twin Peaks shooting that killed nine people.
Ferrell Surette, 47, said he and other protesters from the Houston area have no motorcycle club associations but know some of those arrested. He said they are “just regular motorcycle guys who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time,” referring to the meeting of the Texas Confederation of Clubs and Independents that was to take place Sunday when the violence occurred.
Protestors claimed such meetings have happened regularly for as many as 18 years without problems.
The protesters arrived at the courthouse in pickup trucks and cars and contacted law enforcement about their plans to gather. Many said they were friends from the hot rod community who just happen to also own motorcycles and feel passionate about the issue.
