Gonzales Officials Deny Knowledge Of Black Ski Mask Operation In Gonzales Texas [tb6mjpOfkyY]

00:20 I was minding my own business on my own property over here and this guy that did not identify himself, he's not-I called the Sheriff Department. He is not with our Sheriff Department. He is not with y'all. And a black ski mask comes up to me and confronts me over here on my own property and starts telling me what am I doing here on my own property. The reason he's concealing his face is because he doesn't know the law. I understand that. No, no... Who is he with? Yeah who is it with? Here comes the police chief maybe he can answer some questions You know we're over here on our own property Chief and somebody comes up to be in a black ski mask That's not right! You shouldn't have condoned that Do you hear me Police Chief? See you don't want talk about it

01:20 Outside of Madison Forest, I run into the county attorney and his wife. I said the sheriff is supposed to know about this kind of stuff when these agencies are coming into our county they're supposed to go through the sheriff first he looks at me no Mike you're gonna get shot for what you're doing that's what the county attorney said where is he at? He was usually here. I wrote it all down. You do not know what you're getting involved in and you're gonna get shot for what you're doing. And I said, look, I come to y'all trying to report this stuff and he said that I don't know what I'm even getting involved in and then I need it stopped without putting the stuff on the internet. Hello folks this is Mike Hanson from Mike Hanson archives and we are here at the city of Gonzales

02:17 the home of come and take it, supposed to be the free and the brave here in Gonzales Texas. But I just got through meeting with Jackie Williamson of The City. She's a city attorney and nobody knows anything about the black ski mask people at midnight in our town. The sheriff don't know anything about it. They mayor don't know anything about it. The city attorney don't know anything about it. The city don't know anything about it and the Gonzales Police Department don't know anything about it, both newspapers don't know anything about it

02:56 I just can't believe in a free country that you could have people coming in here, black ski mask and no city people know anything about this or at least they're not telling us. We did an open request act, I got it in the truck and it came back no documents found. And I just had our meeting with her of the city attorney and she cannot tell me anything She acts like she don't know anything about it. I kind of believe that she don't know anything about it, they're probably not. It's probably the police chief working with these people and not they don't have any emails either that they can give us this operation is going on

03:37 But some new information did come available today. The county attorney that threatened me said I was gonna get shot over this whole thing, and that I better back off and stop investigating this and stop putting this on the internet. And I don't know who I'm dealing with here. Also Sergeant Knighty just told me in here that they investigation with the threat, that the police department are pursuing these threats with a county attorney. Okay, folks. This is Jackie Williamson she's the city attorney I just got through meeting with her and Sergeant 90 from the Gonzales Police Department She's the one that did the open request act for the City of Gonzalez in the police department and she is confirming that they do not know anything about

04:30 a person in a black ski mask on the 3rd of June being in our city. And she says she has no documents, there's no emails, there's not anything In the city or the police department noting that there was another agency in town that day So now we got the Sheriff's Department, we got the Police Department of the City of Gonzales. And we have the city attorney and the city all saying they don't in the police department, they don't know anything about what was going on. I also talked to our mayor called me this morning Bobby Logan.

05:20 And he said that it was not his job to know about these sort of things. And then I should talk to the sheriff about it, well, I've already talked this sheriff. He said he didn't care if there was black ski masks men running around our town at midnight and I said, I think we have a little bit of a difference of opinion with the mayor of Gonzales is supposed to be doing. Supposed to be protecting my liberty and the people that he's supposed And he said that the majority had ruled and he hung up on me. The mayor said, he also told me that it could have been Homeland Security. Well if it was Homeland Security wouldn't the police department know they were in town?

06:08 So our mayor does not give a crap about black ski mask thugs in our town at midnight. He told me directly that on the phone today and I think he instead of him taking pictures with old women at the library and having it in both newspapers. The newspaper needs to be reporting, both newspapers of Gonzales Cannon and the Gonzalez Inquirer need to be reporting that our mayor does not care about our well-being at all. And that's my opinion. Jackie Williamson was really nice but I don't know what they're keeping from us but they don't know anything about

06:50 these black ski masks people being in our town. Somebody's got to know something in this town and the next one I'm going to be getting is a city manager, I'll be talking to him This is our city manager Alan Barnes. I wonder if he knows anything about these agencies coming in here undercover? And the next one that I am going to be talking too, I've got a meeting with Is my City Councilman Gary Schroeder I wonder if he knows anything about what's going on here in town. My name is Rick Ramos, I'm from Austin Texas originally from Gonzales Texas also speaking to Mike for what we're saying here is that this is true these people have held secrets from the public for many many years uh I grew up here and so has my family and matter of fact that that what Mike is saying from what I understand

07:45 that is unconstitutional for someone to say they're a police and they're not able to identify themselves. Well, the problem is that we have with police now Is that right away? They want you to identify yourself when technically they're supposed to identify themselves first It's very hard to believe that nobody knows anything about who was operating in this town with a black ski mask and whatnot I mean in this town whatever if You don't do anything, you're gonna know what's going on. They're gonna know right away so I know for a fact that somebody If not everybody in this city officials, police and everybody else know exactly what is going on. Who do you think these people were Rick? You've been here a long time here. You're longtime resident of Gonzales your family goes way back who do you think these people were in the black ski mask and how could they be working around the police chief and him not know who they are? I think there's all the same people

08:44 And being that I feel, just from what I'm gathering. I think being that you being Mike Hanson and the person that you are, that you stand up for true freedom. And you are a true patriot. They're threatened by that and they're out to try intimidate us as what i said earlier these people deal with by intimidation and threaten people and i think this is what's happening because if the top official was telling you that we need to back off or you're gonna get shot by doing what you're doing, then there's something wrong. Definitely something is wrong there. He knows something that we don't know

09:27 But like I was telling somebody else, when most people get a threat they go hide in the corner. When I get a threat, I go full force ahead and I don't stop until that threat is not a threat anymore. I don't fear for my life anymore because it's all been reported to the Texas Rangers has been reported as an official police report. What else can I do except for call the FBI? There's nothing else. I told the commissioners that if something happens to me, they know where to start looking. Do you think there's still a real threat there or do you think that these people are going to go run and hide like they did that night? No, they know now that you've already covered your tracks. Number one, you've done that and that's the thing we need more people involved doing the same thing I think you recall remember when i stood up at city council meeting about this situation again officials

10:26 do when even when the citizens don't want something, they still do it anyway. And if I got handcuffed out of the city council meeting all my friends always saw you on the paper and they thought it was funny. Well guess what? You know what- We won that too and people say we can't fight City Hall It's not true if just more people would stand up. It's just been like me, you a couple other people standing up here in Gonzalez and we've accomplished a lot. We did not have to pay for those city streets they tried to get us to pay for their paving that we paid taxes for the last 60 years on another thing they try to do they tried outlaw garage sales here They tried outlaw us having livestock in the city

11:08 Every time that this city council gets together, they're in love with each other. They vote the same way the mayor votes the same way there. They're busy taking our rights away every time they vote. They take another one of your rights away Rick? What do you think about that? Well yeah exactly I mean this is what we're saying again when all this crap about paving roads and whatnot You know, what was the point of having a public hearing if their decision was already made? And even when the citizens showed up to say no we don't want this. We don't need this because it's too much money they had it set up already you know and again as we're saying is by intimidation these people were like cattle

11:46 and sheep, and they just go right at the...get slaughtered. You know? And they don't understand again we're saying whether you have a formal or informal education you need one of the other in order to understand some of these basic fundamentals of what your rights are Rick I really admire you for standing up here in Gonzales thanks a lot God bless thanks for being on Mike Hanson archives and let's get back to the real come-and-take it spirit They wouldn't have put up with this 100 years ago. They would have been tar and feather in the city council for trying to take our rights away, and another thing they're doing here now they got a code inspector measuring our grass how tall our grass is? And if we have a car that's out of inspection now they want to give you $500 fine now. That doesn't screw up your because even in Austin you've got cars parked on

12:39 We need to get these tyrants out of this city hall is what we need to do. The mayor does not give a damn about you or your family, or anybody else he only cares about giving $10 million dollars to the next project and all the people in Rivercrest getting a part of it. People on Park Place, Rivercrest that voted for him Rick, there's 10,000 people here in the city limits of Gonzales. 400 people voted for him and he told me today on the phone that the majority has ruled. Do you think... You know they're 70% Hispanic in this town do you think that they agree with him as a Hispanic? Do you think that they agree with this mayor what he's doing in this town? Absolutely not absolutely not but they're too afraid to stand up and question his authority

13:23 Exactly, but there are a few good Hispanics doing it and a few good blacks. And we really appreciate y'all doing it and it's just not a race issue this is a freedom issue if you're not free I'm not free exactly thanks a lot and God bless.
