Bike gang shootout in Waco restaurant

[Armybrat]

Since there were already a dozen Waco PD cops, plus some State DPS troopers, McClennan County deputies, and one local game warden on the premises (they knew ahead of time the gang meeting was taking place - it was on the statewide biker organization website calendar), I wonder who actually shot whom. Bet the LEOs had the biggest tally.

It's going to be interesting in Austin next month, as the annual ROT (Republic of Texas) Rally is scheduled. It's kinda like a mini-Sturgis - tens of thousands of biker riders congregate for various events. Wonder if they'll be hosting any shootin' competitions this year? lol

My son's FIL ( a rancher from NE Texas) usually rides down for the ROT Rally, but somebody stole his Harley before Christmas.

Trouble is, most folks don't know the difference between motorcycle clubs & the known criminal outlaw biker gangs like the Bandidos, Cossacks, Scimitars, etc.

Armybrat part of the problem is that the non 1%ers dress, talk and many times act just like the 1%ers. If they do not want to be associated with Outlaw Biker scum I suggest they first change how they dress and act. Another thing they can do is to REFUSE to pay for and wear the Confederation of Clubs patch. That is just a money source for the outlaw organizations. It is amazing how uneducated many law abiding bike riders are about the 1%ers. Folks that ride bikes need to pull their heads out of their keisters and pay attention. The 1%ers make a big splash for Toys for Tots and other charities but it is only to appear to be legitimate and con folks into not seeing the truth about their degeneracy.

used to own a honder, wish i had a pic. of mine, but this ones close, mine was dark blue with black chrome, not a bit of the shiny stuff.
As for biker clubs, never was and never will.
If i ever have enough $$$ me thinks a black Harley would be real nice.

You're pretty smart for a Sooner, LZ! (wink)

But yes you are absolutely correct. The knowledgeable locals here have known what a bunch of criminals the Bandidos have been for 40 years. Drug dealing, drug smugglin', working with the Mexican cartels, prostitution, & human trafficking. What's unusual about this is they usually do their killing out of the "public eye".

The club hobbyist 99%ers need to distance themselves from the criminal element and any state or nationwide organization they belong to.

Say, has ol' Jocko been around since yesterday?

Thanks. As a general rule you are right. However the Big 4 Hells Angels, Bandidos, Outlaws, and the Mongols have been getting a lot of pressure from other outlaw lesser gangs in the last decade or so. There was a big brouhaha in a Vegas Casino a few years ago. As the lesser gangs are encroaching the Big 4 feel the need to exert their dominance and do it whenever necessary. This sounds like a "dis" that got out of hand. Whatever match lit the fire it cannot be tolerated. You can bet the patched members of al clubs will be laying low in the public eye for awhile.

Ship them all to Ramadi.

Too bad they all didn't get shot and die.....

[CJB]

Let me see.... cops there. Already saying they shot AT the bikers (no telling on hits and or casualties).... yet they blame the owner of Twin Peaks as the cause, saying he could have heeded their warning and not allowed them to enter. Seems a little lame to me.

Gents, there's more to this story than is being reported. And there is obvious slant in the reporting from Occifer Friendly. We have reports of fists, knives, chains, clubs, baseball bats, swords and firearms.. oh and brass knuckles. I for one do not know of one single 1%er that carries a sword, or baseball bat.... on their bike? Really... chains? This is Hollywood reporting. No need for that sort of thing when perfectly good furniture is available, and everyone's packin' anyway.

I'm bettin' that some of the two-wheeler gentlemen raced outside to get their guns from their bike bags, and when the LEOs saw that, the turkey shoot was on.

BTW - the local LEOs impounded at least 100 hogs and dozens of cars from the combatants. They will be sold at auction with the local law enforcement agencies gettin' a pretty good windfall. 170 bikers were arrested, all are being charged with organized criminal activity and capital murder. Everybody's bond has been set at $1,000,000 each

The ensuing legal circus is gonna provide us with entertainment for years.

Kind of puzzling to me why people like the group - mob - gang mentality. I am 71 years old and have been riding Harleys all my life. Never belonged to any group, whatever it may be. Hair cut short and regular clothes. I am not a yuppie just to darned independent. Makes me wonder what they are trying to prove. Don't like people telling me what to do I guess.
