Motorcycle Riders Foundation – obfuscation-half-truths rebutted…

Letter published by the Motorcycle Rider’s Foundation concerning my motor vehicle enforcement efforts in Houston, Texas. My rebuttal to this nonsense follows…

HOUSTON, WE DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM ANY MORE . . .

You can’t make this stuff up. Rickey D. Holtsclaw, a Houston, Texas police officer for almost thirty-two years, was recently forced to retire because of his insistence on enforcing ordinances restricting obnoxious motorcycle noise. Officer Holtsclaw faced pressure within the Houston police department and from pro-noise motorcyclists to stop enforcing the law. Officer Holtsclaw received little or no support from elected officials in Houston.

Holtsclaw decided to start issuing tickets to what he perceived as “loud motorcycles”. After a few months of writing tickets caught the attention of his commanding Patrol Sergeant who ordered him to cease issuing those kinds of tickets. He explained that the law is so vague that it is unenforceable. However, Holtsclaw broke orders and continued on his mission to silence Houston.

According to Holtsclaw it was the upper levels of the Houston Police Department, Mayor Annise Parker, Houston’s City Council, and Houston’s Legal Department that forced him into retirement.

Enjoy your freedom while it lasts Houston, because you know for every one like this guy there is another around the corner just waiting.

The MRF does not advocate for breaking of any law. We do, however, oppose blatant motorcyclist discrimination like this.

Response from Rickey D. Holtsclaw to the obfuscation, lies, and errors, of the Motorcycle Riders Foundation

I was never “forced to retire” as I honorably served the citizens of Houston, Texas for 31 years and had, years previous to my retirement, relocated my family OUT of the Hell-Hole known as Houston and Houston/Katy ISD; this, in preparation for retirement. I retired from the Houston PD because my Christian, conservative, worldview no longer resonated or “fit” into the WOKE, Liberal, Politically Correct experiment, that had invaded the Houston PD like a metastasizing malignancy for the previous two decades.

While assigned to the Westside Division, I policed 20G80’s beat which focused on the Westheimer and SH 6 vicinity; this area was home to two thug biker bars, one located on Highway 6 which I facilitated the closure of same and a second LOUD thug biker bar on Westheimer’s extension into Harris County SR1093. Due to the LOUD biker thugs that frequented these biker bars, my area of responsibility was inundated with LOUD biker, auto, truck, thuggery; an unlawful, bullying, irresponsible, behavior that destroyed the daily quality of life for millions; recklessly harmed and injured the physiological and psychological well-being of the children, the elderly, the handicapped, the families, dwelling, working, in my area of responsibility; therefore, I took the initiative to STOP the vehicular NOISE abuse.

My weak and progressive City and Police Administration indeed lacked the courage to stand with me; this was due to Houston’s obsessive concerns with liability and fear of lawsuits; these concerns trumping Houston PD’s primary objective: protection of the citizenry. LOUD thug bikers in Houston organized twice and rode en mass to Houston’s City Hall and whined, cried, threatened, the Mayor and the Council Members, and warned that if my lawful and protective enforcement efforts were not stopped, perhaps they should be removed from office. Houston’s Administration cowed like defenseless children. Shameful and embarrassing.

My Westside patrol sergeant indeed ordered me to stop issuing citations for vehicular noise. What the MRF’s letter does not clarify is the fact that this same Westside sergeant drove an illegally LOUD, obnoxiously LOUD, racing Corvette to roll-call at 6 a.m. and thereby violated the rights and quality of life of millions during his commute. What the Motorcycle Riders Foundation letter does not say is that I presented this corrupted and “compromised” supervisor with legal precedent (Aaron C. Aguilar v. State of Texas 2008) that undergirded, substantiated, my vehicular noise enforcement efforts and the “supervisor’s” order was consequently summarily overturned by Houston’s City Legal Department; therefore, I continued to stop, cite, incarcerate, every LOUD vehicular NOISE THUG possible.

It is true that the City of Houston, due to incredible numbers of false Internal Affairs accusations against me by LOUD biker thugs, issued a notice that all officers were to cease issuing citations via City Ordinance 30-3 due to “void for vagueness” concerns; therefore, I began using Texas Motor Vehicle State Law 547.604 “Muffler Required” that requires the generic element of “to prevent excessive and unusual noise” which some also considered “void for vagueness” to which I counted that argument with the Federal Law, Code of Federal Regulations 40 CFR 205, which restricts motorcycle noise, light to medium duty trucks, to a relatively quiet and safe 80dB(A) and requires specific labels for motorcycle mufflers and frames denoting compliance with the 80dB(A) total motorcycle noise emissions mandated by the US EPA.

My argument was and is that any motorcycle emitting noise greater than OEM-factory installed violated the Texas Muffler Statue 547.604; unfortunately, the City of Houston’s Municipal Court had NOT taken the initiative to draft a “legal complaint” facilitating the use of Texas 547.604; this, probably due to Houston’s lust for the monies garnered by ordinance enforcement, monies that were shared with the State when a State Law was used to enforce traffic laws. With that said, a Westside supervisor took the initiative, on my behalf, to engage the City of Houston Municipal Court and then draft a legal complaint allowing my enforcement of Texas 547.604.

The upper levels of Houston’s Police Department were indeed far too cowardly to support my efforts to bring peace and tranquility to the roadways in my area of responsibility but the Municipal Judge who adjudicated my NUMEROUS vehicular noise citations did support my lawful efforts as I maintained a 99.9% conviction rate for all vehicular noise cases brought to trial; this, even though I was required to have protection present in my courtroom during some trials due to the threats of the thug LOUD biker cult[ure] in Houston.

With that said, I retired from the Houston PD due to the shame of working for a weak, progressive, politically correct, administration that was too cowardly and compromised to protect the citizens I took an oath to protect and serve. If the Houston PD had provided the same support offered by the Municipal Judge who analyzed the vehicular noise cases and adjudicated them in the affirmative, I would have shut down the vehicular NOISE plague in Houston, Texas. I could have easily begun a task force targeting illegally LOUD motorcycles, automobiles, and trucks that destroy the daily quality of life for millions in Houston, daily and nightly. I could have STOPPED the LOUD vehicular NOISE thugs who abuse children, the elderly, and the handicapped, with “not for road use” and “racing only” aftermarket exhausts on motorcycles and illegal modifications to OEM muffler systems on trucks and automobiles.

The Motorcycle Rider’s Foundation should be ashamed of themselves for their advocacy of LOUD motorcycle thuggery that mocks the Federal Code of Federal Regulations and State Laws enacted specifically for the protection of, the health and welfare of, the daily quality of life of, our children, the elderly, our handicapped, our families. If you ride or drive LOUDER than the OEM-factory installed equipment, you’re a bully thug and your intrusive, dangerous, unlawful, bully behavior does NOT belong on our public roadways. Vehicular noise laws were enacted for the protection and daily quality of life of the American citizen, no one has a “right” to abuse and audibly assault the American citizen with unlawful vehicular NOISE!

Spiritual Ignorance: Satan’s Victory – Humanity’s Defeat

Spiritual Ignorance: Satan’s Victory – Humanity’s Defeat

Somehow and for some reason, perhaps innate narcissism due the Adamic Fall, humanity considers itself far more relevant and important than same actually is. You think yourself something special in the grand scheme of things concerning our Creator, His creation narrative, Elohim’s eschatological will concerning the current war between good v. evil that rages around us and permeates our very existence. YOU ARE NOT!!!

You were born into war for a specific purpose; you were born in Time because of war and you will die in Time and your body will rot away due WAR and its consequences; you might NOT like it, you obviously don’t understand it or believe it but the reality of this Spiritual War exists and that war has been relegated to Time and physics (Genesis 3:15; 1 John 3:8b); fact is, you’re fading away by the minute like a vapor breathed upon a mirror on a cold winters morning (James 4:14) – YOU ARE IRRELEVANT in the grand scheme of things as Elohim restores order and peace to His Kingdom as a result of the hate and rebellion and death and destruction of the god you serve in your foolish atheism, nihilism, unbelief; your god’s name is Satan (2 Corinthians 4:4).

You have been provided an opportunity to enjoy victory over Satan through faith in Jesus and His death for your sin and shame and uselessness (John 3:16; 1 Peter 1:18-19). Because of Jesus’ faithfulness, you can be something of relevance in Eternity due what Jesus has done for you in this very temporary Realm of Time; otherwise, you will rot in nihilism (Revelation 20:11-15).

Those who reject Jesus as Messiah are a foolish stooge of deceit and lest one repent and find Truth in Jesus, they will rot in shame. Elohim’s Reality is NOT concerned about YOU or your pitiful life when that life is lived in servitude to Elohim’s enemy, Satan. True life and meaning are only possible through faith in Jesus and receiving the indwelling Holy Spirit as your Teacher, your Wisdom, your Discernment! You must be “born again” through faith in Jesus apart from this life of war and destruction; otherwise, you have no hope (John 3).

Riding & Driving LOUD, who are you?

Riding and Driving LOUD, who are you?

What kind of “man” or “woman” modifies a motorcycle, auto or truck to emit illegal NOISE in multiples (logarithmic) of the mandated, relatively safe, 80dB(A) Federal limitation then proceeds out onto a public roadway and uses that illegal, dangerous, intrusive, destructive, NOISE to destroy the daily quality of life of children, the elderly, our handicapped, our families?

Is this illegal and defiant behavior not indicative of a mental and spiritual illness? Should not the offender be arrested for assault and his/her offending vehicle impounded and forced compliance initiated?

Motor vehicle noise is regulated for cause, for health and quality of life concerns, why not enforce existing motor vehicle NOISE laws, both federal and state, enacted for the protection of the American citizen?

Riding, Driving, LOUD, a warped and perverted sense of freedom…

Riding and Driving ILLEGALLY LOUD, a warped and perverted sense of freedom!

Here in Florida, and in every other State in the United States, exists a hoard, a faction, a VEHICULAR NOISE CULT, of men and women who have internalized a warped sense of freedom; essentially, a form of mental and spiritual illness, that is displayed by their total lack of respect for the motor vehicle noise laws; both Federal and State, as these miscreant hoard of vehicular NOISE bullies knowingly and willingly audibly assault, bully, injure, destroy the daily quality of life of every child, the elderly, the handicapped, every man and woman they abuse, daily and nightly, with their illegally LOUD, illegally equipped, motor vehicle; this, whether that vehicle is an illegally LOUD, illegally equipped, motorcycle, auto or truck operating in excess of the legal, safe, mandated, 80dB(A) as per the Code of Federal Regulations; this federally mandated noise restriction legislated subsequent extensive testing by government entities around the World quantifying and verifying the deleterious effects of unregulated motor vehicle noise upon human and animal physiology.

Freedom is NOT the absence of all moral and ethical restraints and the United States Federal Government via the Noise Control Act of 1972 and Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations has restricted the vast majority of motor vehicles operated on the public roadways of the United States to a relatively quiet 80dB(A); this, for the safety and daily quality of life of the majority. The LOUD Biker Cult[ure], the LOUD Auto and Truck Cult[ure] in Florida and around the United States therefore has no legal, ethical, moral, right to violate those motor vehicle noise laws (Federal and State and Local) enacted for the protection of America’s most innocent and the misfeasance, malfeasance, ignorance, ineptitude, compromise, laziness, graft, of America’s governors, mayors, commissioners, law enforcement leadership, law enforcement officers, is wrong, embarrassing, inexcusable, unacceptable.

Vehicular NOISE is ENERGY and when that ENERGY in excess of 80dB(A) is forced upon America’s most innocent via the operation of an illegally LOUD motor vehicle, the culprit initiating this audible assault should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and if law enforcement will not intercede and STOP the audible abuse, perhaps the “men” of America should step-up and STOP the bullying of our most innocent? Why are America’s “men” allowing these “in your face” vehicular NOISE bullies to abuse our most innocent void recompense?

Offended by LOUD motor vehicles?

“You’re the only one offended by LOUD motorcycles, auto’s, trucks!” says the LOUD Biker advocate…

No, I’m not the only one offended by the bullies who ride and drive loud…far too many of the vehicular noise beleaguered citizenry are ignorant of the physiological harm done and far too many erroneously believe that loud vehicles were designed and produced and retailed to be LOUD which is simply ignorance of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Others are simply too intimidated, too fearful, to speak-up and get involved in protecting and interceding on behalf of our most innocent who are the children, the elderly, the handicapped, most negatively effected by unregulated motor vehicle noise.

The Fed’s got involved in vehicular noise via the Noise Control Act of 1972 and they first restricted motorcycle noise in 1983 to 83dB(A) and then again in 1986 to 80dB(A) subsequent to determining that 83dB(A) total motorcycle noise emissions was too loud and injurious for the general public. Every street-use motorcycle produced for our public roadways is equipped with a quiet muffler heavily embossed to designate its conformity to Federal Law and the downtube on cruisers also reflects a label matching the muffler to the motorcycle and tells you that tampering with the acoustical dynamics of that muffler is illegal; this is done for the health and welfare, the daily quality life of the American citizen.

I’ve owned approximately 30-motorcycles since age 12 and I’ve ridden professionally for years accumulating hundreds-of-thousands-of-miles on motorcycles professionally/touring/commuting. What you’re advocating and what the LOUD biker cult[ure] is doing to the sport of motorcycling and their bullying of our most innocent is WRONG and shameful.

Cape Coral Biker Night, Florida…Mayoral Prostitution with LOUD Thuggery…

Cape Coral Bike Night is but one example of Mayoral Prostitution with the LOUD Biker thugs of Florida to garner monies via tax revenue. SHAME on Mayor Gunter and the Lee County Commissioners for allowing these illegally LOUD biker thugs to abuse the citizens of Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Pine Island, with illegal motorcycle NOISE emissions that destroy the health and welfare, the daily quality of life, of our children, our elderly, our handicapped, our families; this, with impunity and in violation of Florida’s motor vehicle muffler statute mandating a motor vehicle muffler conforming to the sound suppression qualities of the OEM, factory-installed muffler i.e., a relatively quiet and safe 80dB(A) total motorcycle noise emissions in compliance with the SAE J331a full-throttle motorcycle drive by testing procedure.

Shame on the Lee County Sheriff’s Department and Cape Coral’s Police Department, their Sheriff and Police Chief, for allowing these biker narcissists to abuse and audibly assault the citizenry they swore an oath to protect and serve. This is flagrant misfeasance and shame on the Cape Coral Police and Lee County’s Sheriffs for permitting the vehicular NOISE bullies to abuse us and deny us a right to life, liberty the pursuit of happiness through the destruction of our daily quality of life that is destroyed by unlawful motorcycle, auto, truck, NOISE!

As a Christian, is my Hope rooted in Israel or Messiah Jesus?

As a Christian, is my Hope rooted in Israel or Messiah Jesus? (Romans 11:17-32)

In Jesus, my affiliation with Abraham, a Gentile, is equated to the faith of Abraham who trusted in Elohim’s commands and also in Elohim’s promise to Abraham that through him all the families of the Earth would be blessed (Genesis 15:6; Romans 4:2; Genesis 12:3).

The promises given to Israel and rejected by the fathers of Israel are made relevant for the Christian via the Gospel of Jesus Christ via the imputation – gifting of Messiah’s righteousness over their life by faith (2 Corinthians 5:21).

Israel’s children were divinely foreordained to provide a human lineage through Judah relevant to the introduction of Messiah into the Realm of Time, the introduction of the Gospel ordained before Time began (2 Timothy 1:8-10); the proliferation of the Great Commission (Matthew 28); this, being the very reason Messiah came exclusively to the lost sheep of Israel (Matthew 15:24); unfortunately, Israel’s children rejected their Messiah; Israel’s children rejected the Gospel; Israel’s children rejected the Great Commission; Israel’s children conspired to murder Messiah upon a tree and demanded that Messiah’s blood be upon them and their children as it is to this very day via the curse of blindness and a future in Hell as only a mere “remnant” of Israel’s children will enter the Kingdom of Elohim via Messiah by faith (Romans 10; Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27; Matthew 27:25).

Israel is NOT holy due their rejection of Messiah; my only “holiness” is the gifted-imputed righteousness of Jesus over my life by faith (2 Corinthians 5:21); this, NOT of myself. Israel’s only hope is in the remnant that will come to faith via the proselytizing efforts of a 144,000 sanctified Jewish witnesses spoken of in Revelation 7; otherwise, Israel would be barren and dead through their compromise with Satan and Pilate and the religion of Judaism/self-righteousness, a demonically rooted compromise that exists to this very day in Israel’s rejection and blasphemy of Messiah Yeshua. My Hope is NOT in Israel but my HOPE is in Jesus who is Elohim (Genesis 1:1) in flesh having provided me blood atonement for my sin (John 1-3; 1 Peter 1:18-19).

Far too may Jews and Israelite’s are deluded into a false sense of divine superiority due their self-righteousness via the works religion of Judaism and a rebellious, stubborn, linage that failed our Creator. My Hope is NOT in Israel but in Jesus.

Atheism: The Epitome of Arrogance, Futility, Absence of Wisdom, Discernment, Commonsense…

Atheism: The Epitome of Arrogance, Futility, Absence of Wisdom, Discernment, Commonsense…

It is certainly a free will choice to believe that this Earth, the vast Universe, the complex human genome, thought-emotion-sensory reception, are the products of naturalism-chance-randomness, but to deny, reject, insult, blaspheme, the very obvious possibility for a divine, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, Creator is the epitome of arrogance, the very definition of futility, the absence of wisdom and discernment…commonsense and those who engage in this most obvious form of willful mental and spiritual illness will be “without excuse” in the Day of Judgment that is certain to manifest (Romans 1:18-32). A commonsense evaluation of what exists before our very eyes, daily-24/7/365, screams within the core of humanity the necessity for an omnipotent Creator who exists outside the Realm of Time and possesses complete sovereignty over matter, life, eschatology, perceived reality.

LOUD Bikers and Guardian Angels?

Bikers who ride illegally LOUD are not accompanied by Heavenly angels but demons as bikers who ride LOUD abuse children, the elderly, our handicapped, our families, with illegal NOISE assault that destroys human physiology, destroys daily quality of life, illegally enters into places of work, worship, homes, bedrooms, places of recreation. These are not “men” but demons who worship themselves, they are narcissistic thugs who unlawfully and willingly abuse others while seeking intimidation through a facade of bravado. These are the low-life’s of any society and bane to a civilized society.
