Sandy Rios: Waco Biker Gangs Could Be 'Retrained' To Fight Islamists, Drug Cartels

After nine people died in Waco, Texas, during a fight yesterday between rival motorcycle gangs, American Family Association governmental affairs director Sandy Rios noted on her radio show today the “senseless” violence and waste of life. Instead of letting them fight each other, Rios said, the U.S. government could have just used these gang members to fight drug cartels and Islamists.

“Police have their hands full fighting our real enemies, the cartels, the Islamists, and now they’re fighting motorcycle gangs?” Rios asked. “I find myself thinking, let’s have a little retraining for motorcycle gangs and put them on our side fighting our enemies. That’s what we really need.”

We used to institutionalize people like this, for their own protection and that of society's. Now they get radio shows.

They all appear to get along quite well according to photographs, I'm sure they'll learn the ropes in a day or two.

Geeze now I have to go take a shower and wash the stupid off me. How do the people who think like this know to even get out of the bed in the mornings? Hell even to know to go to bed at night. Sleep deprivation is what it is. it makes a person crazy thats for sure.

Because training and equiping ruthless sociopaths to do our dirty work has been so successful in other parts of the world, let's just give it a whirl here too!
