The comments section shows how useless people are . A few have asked, ANYONE Know what gangs were involved? When the rockers are very visible in the pictures.
FWIW: SOA style was based on a compilation of various opposing team confrontations.
Huh. I had no idea there was a Twin Peaks in Waco.
At least they hit what they were shooting at.

Swanton said police were aware in advance that at least three rival gangs would be gathering at the restaurant and at least 12 Waco officers in addition to state troopers were at the restaurant when the fight began.
There are movies that failed to make this kind of thing up.
Wow, wonder if the twin peaks owner/manager was involved if he wanted them at the restaurant.
i imagine retaliation will be next and this will carry on for a while
I read earlier that Twin Peaks wanted them there, and refused to cooperate with Police prior to the shooting took place. Apparently Waco PD and TX State Troopers were on scene for added security and had requested that Twin Peaks not allow multiple rival gangs. When you stick a cobra and a mongoose in a room together, odds are they're going to fight. [facepalm]

Law enforcement contacted the local franchise and national to get their assistance and both entities declined.
No different than any other gang bangers shooting it out. High cap mags would've worked well in this situation. Less thugs on the streets. Glad no officers were harmed.

Pretty much how I see it. Next...

Except from what I read the restaurant was aware that multiple rival biker gangs were in attendance and didn't do anything to help prevent this. It would appear that Waco PD and TX State Troopers were on scene prior to the shooting because of the fear that violence might occur. This could have been avoided, but Twin Peaks decided, in all it's wisdom, to not take heed.
Maybe it could havebeen avoided at Twin Peaks. Would have just happened some where else.
I heard this was a picture of the gang:

Yeah. I think I it would've happened anyway. Hell, the cops were they and they still shot it out. As long as innocents aren't harmed and officers are out of the line of fire, I wouldn't care if they did meet up again. Less burden on the court system.

Few years ago one of our customers we worked for invited us to a sons of silence bbq. He had his jacket that said Vice president on it. I didn't ask if that was vp of a little chapter or the whole club. We didn't take him up on his offer. Haha My brother threw in he didn't want his chick getting raped lol. Dave didn't even smile and said we watch too much tv.
What's the problem?
No innocents were harmed.
Rival clubs often meet up without trouble.
These things happen from time to time.
If you are not a club member, you are safe.
If you are, you understand the lifestyle and the risks involved.
They were all just pissed off over the upcoming electric Harley...

This statement should be of some concern.
"This was a true gang fight that occurred at this location,” Swanton said at a Monday morning news conference. He said the people involved in the brawl were using “bad-guy weapons” such as brass knuckles, knives and guns.

Yes you do, that was as stupid as saying you're in fear from concealed weapons holders.

No different than the Bloods vs the Crips as far as I'm concerned. Thugs involved in illegal activity and prey on the weak. Now their is concern that they may retaliate against the police for intervening. Crystal Meth, forced prostitution, extortion and a host of other good deeds make these guys real dirtbags. I remember how they damn near shut down that town in Nevada due to one of their squabbles.

This should prove interesting; 170+ arrested and changed with engaging in organized crime and TX is a death penalty state.
The people arrested after the shootout at the Twin Peaks Restaurant, in south Waco, were charged with engaging in organized crime linked to capital murder, said Sgt. Patrick Swanton, a Waco Police Department spokesman.

Oh it's a RICO charge / case. UNLESS they keep it at the state level where the death penalty is in play. That gets 1 or more who knew / know something to roll over on the others.
If they RICO, federal charge them it changes the dynamic . Either way there's a whole lot of people going to be incarcerated.
I think they named that town appropriately.... Wack-O. It seems a place for the dirt to hit the oscillating turbine. I am amazed that no civilians were hurt. I hope that remains the case.

This is dumb. Even as someone who operates beyond the law, hell especially someone who operates beyond the law knows that the police aren't going to just let stuff like this slide in a public place. Why bother with a vendetta?
ETA: This would be a nightmare for an over eager CCW holder. It's one thing to defend the innocent, but when parties are taking shots at each other, it would be colossally stupid to try and involve yourself into that situation.

Obama Massacres Innocent Waco Bikers Over Putin Fears
By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers
A new Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) report circulating in the Kremlin today states that the Obama regimes Department of Homeland Security (DHS) deliberately massacred at least 9 innocent motorcycle enthusiasts on 17 May over fears that one of the clubs participating in a yearly rally in Waco, Texas, could possibly be linked to the Night Wolves.
Described by some in the propaganda Western press as “Putin’s Hells Angels”, this report explains, the Night Wolves were, in fact, one of the first organized groups that battled against the Soviet communist regime in the 1980’s leading to the fall of that brutal regime, and who have since have taken an interest in the political and social life of Russia, engaging in youth social issues while forging close links to the Kremlin and establishing a friendship with Putin. They also aided the protection of Ukraine from the US installed Nazi government by patrolling the streets of Crimea with unmarked soldiers sent from Russia, fought for the rebels and are deeply involved with the Russian Orthodox Church.
Led by the deeply religious Alexander Zaldostanov [aka “The Surgeon” because of his medical skills], this report continues, the 5,000 member Night Wolves also have the dubious distinction of being the only motorcycle club in history to have been sanctioned by the US government forbidding them from traveling to or having/making business with anyone in America.
The Obama regimes fears regarding the Night Wolves leading to the 17 May Waco Massacre, this report says, centered around a small and mysterious motorcycle club known as the Cossacks that began in the early 1990’s in the Caucasus Mountains region of the Federation and had just one World War II-era 1942 Harley-Davidson.
Since the 1990’s, SVR intelligence analysts in this report note, little has been known or reported about the Cossacks Motorcycle Club in the Federation other than “certain members” known to have immigrated to the United States where they revived their organization.
Once these “certain members” of the Cossacks Motorcycle Club immigrated to the United States, this report says, there appears to be little information about them with even Wikipedia failing to note their presence/existence in either their Lists of Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs or List of Motorcycle Clubs.
SVR analysts in this report further note that the Cossacks Motorcycle Club has rarely been mentioned in the American press, with the exception being a 2011 notice advertising their “Annual Mingus Blowout”, in Mingus, Texas, open to everyone and described as a collage-like party with their open invitation stating, “As always, there are No Weapons and No Attitudes allowed assuring a relaxing, fun weekend for all.”
Particularly fearful about the Cossacks Motorcycle Club to the Obama regime, this report states, were “intercepted electronic communications” between them and the Night Wolves, leading some SVR analysts to conclude that the Americans were “terrified” of such an alliance forming as the Night Wolves long experience with operating within the confines of a police state regime would give the Cossacks, and any other motorcycle club they affiliated with, invaluable knowledge to battle their nations suppression by the oligarchs now controlling them.
As the internationally prestigious Princeton University had already declared last year that the United States was now an oligarchy, not a democracy, this report continues, the Obama regime had no choice (like all totalitarian regimes do) but to totally eliminate the Cossacks Motorcycle Club over their perceived fears…and which they began with the 17 May Waco Biker Massacre when military camouflaged DHS snipers embedded on the rooftop of the Twin Peaks restaurant began their deliberate killing spree.
Even worse, at least for the American people, this report continues, within minutes of this massacre, and resembling the propaganda “attack” launched against these once free people on 11 September 2001, the Obama regime began flooding their nations lapdog press with so many deliberately false stories relating to these murders it would be laughable, except, of course, for the families of those left dead and dying.
Of particular note about the numerous Obama regime lies regarding this massacre, the SVR says, are the reports that these bikers all began shooting at each other, when in fact the video evidence proves that only one biker fired his weapon in self defense while fleeing from the DHS sniper fire.
Also to be noted about these Obama regime lies, this report continues, was that where the propaganda reports stated that over 1,000 guns were confiscated from these bikers, in fact barely 300 were actually recovered, and nearly all of them were legally possessed under Texas law.
Of the nine casualties who died of gunshot wounds, the SVR further notes, all were sustained outside the restaurant and no shell casings were found around the bodies while eight of the nine were Cossacks and of the eighteen who were wounded they are not expected to be charged, a fact leading one American independent report on this massacre to state: “So much for the narrative that gangs were fighting each other, or that Bandidos were the aggressors.”
Even more shameful, this report says, where the Obama regime reports that all of the dead were hardened criminals, but which independent research shows the opposite to be true as nearly all of them had no criminal records whatsoever, including Jesus Delgado Rodriguez, 65, who was a law-abiding decorated Vietnam veteran with Purple Heart and had never been arrested in his whole life.
And in one the most appalling acts of government lawlessness the United States has seen in modern times, this report notes, after this massacre by the Obama regime, 170 of the witnesses who were able to describe the DHS snipers unprovoked attack upon them were immediately jailed with no charges filed and placed under $1 million bond each.
Though the Obama regime propaganda media even now continues to spread their lies about this massacre, this SVR report concludes, the same cannot be said about many still free and independent American news outlets, including the Western Rifle Shooters Association (WRSA) which in giving their thoughts as to why this massacre took place simply stated:
“WACO PD have not been very friendly towards bikers and the FEDS TOTALLY despise Bikers! Why? Because we are not afraid of them or their agenda! We are a threat to them! Remember folks we were able to organize in 24 days 800,000 -1.2 million bikers to DC! We did it WITHOUT their permission or support! They even SHUT DOWN the traffic cams…had the news NOT flown over the scene there would have been NO proof that we rode! Yes, folks, like it or not even 1%’s rode with us! They set aside their territories and rode peacefully! JUST like they do at ALL COC meetings!
Bikers stand up to them, to their Christian hate, their muslim agenda and whatever else they want to throw at us! BIKERS ARE PRESENTLY THE BACKBONE of PATRIOT AMERICA! WHAT BETTER WAY TO BRING THEM DOWN THAN WITH BAD PRESS SUCH AS THIS!”
First they came for bikers…

Look up / investigate COBRA, then get back with us. IIRC they like other "groups"morphed in to federal jurisdiction . Then after 9/11 became like Oz , All Knowing.
The following supposedly relates to Anarchist . HOWEVER. We all know how TSA is there to monitor & spot DO NOT FLY LIST people who may possess a threat. Like that grandmother and kid in stroller.
http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/pdf/e09042536.pdf
pg 100
SLTLE often find a need to maintain information, in either raw or finished
form that can place them in a controversial position. For purposes of
community safety, law enforcement needs to maintain information on some
people and organizations for two reasons: (1) The have the potential to
commit crimes and (2) They pose a bona fide threat, although the
parameters of that threat are often difficult to specify. Their actions are
monitored and affiliations recorded to help prevent future crimes and/or
build a future criminal case. Inherently problematic is the idea of a future
crime: what is the rationale for keeping information on a person who has
not committed a crime, but might do so? Essentially, if there is a
compelling interest for community safety, an effective argument can be
made to maintain records on individuals who threaten that safety as long
as reasonable justification can be presented to show a relationship to
criminality
In this type of intelligence there is no product, per se, but regularly
prepared and disseminated operational records on people and groups who
are associated with terrorists or criminal enterprises. The important, yet
difficult, balance is to ensure that there is no violation of constitutional
rights during the course of the process, but at the same time maintaining a
resource of credible information for legitimate law enforcement purposes
No need to link the Patriot Act, you can do that yourself.
I'll stick with my own experiences in over 45 years of riding and direct encounters to base my opinions on. These groups are nothing but 100% pure criminal enterprises. By the same token if one doesn't do anything stupid or get involved with their world then we have other things to worry about.
The line that these bikers are the backbone of patriotic America is beyond ridiculous let alone the rest of it.

OMG: Soldiers Recruited For Outlaw Motorcycle GangsThe ranks of the nation's most violent outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMGs) include active-duty soldiers who fly their biker colors while serving overseas and even commit crimes on American soil, according to a federal investigation.
And military-oriented motorcycle clubs not considered outlaws are starting to adopt the "traits and mannerisms" of their criminal counterparts, the report by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives found.
"Even though only a small percentage of active-duty military personnel, DoD (Department of Defense) employees and contractors have been involved in the shootings or violent acts against adversaries, they belong to and/or (are) associated with OMGs and motorcycle clubs that are pulling the triggers," the report said.
The findings in the 2014 report — which was first made public by First Look Media after a biker clash in Waco, Texas left nine dead — came as no surprise to Charles Falco, who infiltrated three biker gangs as an undercover informant for the ATF.
As an officer of the Outlaws in California, he said, other members who were soldiers or contractors would send photos from Iraq and Afghanistan that showed them displaying gang regalia.
"Are they loyal to the government or are they loyal to the gang? They're more loyal to the gangs," Falco said.
The ATF report said the Highwaymen, Hells Angels, Bandidos, Warlocks and Mongols have created colors or T-shirts for members serving overseas.
The 40-page dossier does not give hard numbers for military participation in the 300 or so outlaw groups identified by the feds as "conduits for criminal enterprises." But includes names and photos of service members from all branches who ride with some of the dominant clubs and their support clubs.
A handful have been linked to weapons seizures or violent episodes. Three Army soldiers were sent to prison for the 2012 murder of an unarmed man who was tossed out of the Sin City Disciples Clubhouse in Colorado Springs, Colorado. One was the gang's sergeant-at-arms, and another was a three-tour Iraq war veteran.
Military members are considered prized prospects — which comes as no surprise given the gangs' mission of amassing as much territory as possible, Falco said.
"They're trained, they're great at conducting war and they have the ability to access weapons," he said. "The question is, why would the military allow current military folks to be in an active gang."
According to the Defense Department, military personnel cannot be involved in "extremist groups" or actively advocate "criminal gang doctrine," but the regulations do not explicitly prohibit membership in an outlaw motorcycle gang. Commanders have the authority to discipline or take criminal action against anyone who flouts the rule.
Gang recruitment isn't limited to the armed forces, according to the report, which said "the OMG community continues to spread its tentacles through all facets of government."
Although Falco said actual law-enforcement officers are generally banned, the report says gang prospects, members and associates include employees of police and fire departments and 911 call centers.
It notes that while the ATF's annual report on military gangs ties is labeled "law enforcement sensitive," it has been found at the Outlaws' Fort Lauderdale clubhouse and in Hells Angels email traffic.

Is this the same agency[s] & media that said returning vets have a good chance of being / becoming Domestic Terrorist?
For such headlines this incident has disappeared from most places, except for small blurbs on line. One thing pointed out I suggest one does research on a CoC (confederation of clubs) get together. This is not a 1% only get together. If anything Combat Vets, CMR / CMA (Christian Motorcycle Riders, Association) Etc are in attendance. Also where is the photo op collection of weapons confiscated? Who has made bail, who's been released with no charges?

Sounds suspicious to me. especially this part.
The couple took photos of the scene until an officer asked them to stop. The man says emergency responders were bringing some of the injured right past their truck. Concerned people might still be armed, he says they asked police if they could leave. They were allowed to do so after being searched.
Really the cop "asked you to stop" BUT did not confiscate the camera that may or may not have pictures of the event ,, mmmm
He says he himself has been a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast and owns leathers and chaps - but they are to protect him from the elements and road rash.

The whole deal is starting to stink. Insert Gun Show Goes Wrong, 100's detained, THOUSANDS OF WEAPONS CONFISCATED. Far fetched, who knows ?
http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2015/06/01/update-waco-twin-peaks-shooting-waco-authority-demanding-liability-waivers-prior-to-bond-reductions/
Several places are now reporting a very disconcerting claim about the justice system in Waco Texas requesting detainees sign waivers promising not to sue the city for unlawful arrest, detention, and civil rights violations.
Waco, Texas – Earlier today, detainees in the Jack Harwell Detention Center in Waco were told that in exchange for bond reductions, they must sign a document stating the Waco police “had the right to arrest the inmate and that he/she will not file a lawsuit against McLennan County and/or the City of Waco.”
If this is true, this is a very alarming demand by local authorities. The requirement to sign a liability release waiver prior to a bond hearing is quite possibly unlawful by itself.
It would appear, at least on the surface, to be completely unenforceable. I doubt you could find a more succinct example of “signing under duress”, which essentially negates any validity to the waiver itself.
Secondly, the implication of requiring the waiver prior to release, is itself a tacit admission of wrongdoing on behalf of the arresting authority. It just makes no sense.
If the detainee represents such a significant threat of non-reappearance, and -in a larger sense- toward the general public; and the detainees’ violation of law so serious as to set their bond at $1,000,000 – how can the simple process of signing a waiver mitigate the underlying premise of their risk/danger?
ETA: Well, looks like the "waiver" story may be false - confusing explanation here:

In your first link, I was reading until the "racist mulatto faggot" part. After that, no matter if you agree with it or not, that kind of language just kills all credibility with 99.999999% of readers.

A little more info coming out in court:
http://www.wacotrib.com/news/courts_and_trials/one-of-two-bandidos-gets-bond-reduced/article_4ad1cb30-c459-5f67-8318-6269a763f170.html
Weathers testified that he and about 15 other Bandidos from the Dallas area had just pulled into the restaurant parking lot and saw Cossacks lining the patio area. He said he hadn’t even parked his motorcycle before Cossacks yelled at club President David Martinez that he couldn’t park in a particular spot. Weathers said he felt like the Cossacks were “disrespecting” Martinez, and he rushed over and told them not to talk to his president that way. Suddenly, a Cossack punched him in the face, he said.
He said he put his head down to cover up and defend himself and heard gunshots seconds later. He was being pulled to the ground and was being hit in the face, he said. Later, he was shot in the arm. The bullet passed through his arm, entered his chest and exited the other side, he said.
Prosecutor Brandon Luce asked Weathers if he would jump into any fray to help his biker brothers. Weathers said he would.
“This is 2015. We know violence is not the first answer,” Weathers said. “We are not stupid. We know there are better ways to handle things.”
Weathers said he did not see who fired the first shot because he was fighting with another biker. He remembers hearing the sound of a “double-tap,” or pulling the trigger twice.
After being shot, Weathers ran to take cover behind cars near Don Carlos restaurant, he said. Police arrived quickly and told everyone to get on the ground, he said, estimating the entire incident lasted four or five minutes.
Weathers told Luce he was legally carrying a .40-caliber pistol but did not use it that day. When Luce referred to the Bandidos as a gang, Weathers corrected him, saying he is in a motorcycle club called the Bandidos.
And from a Vise Grip MC site:
http://www.visegripaustin.com/2015/06/update.html
its been roughly 3 and a half weeks since the incident in waco. the 3 members of our club that were detained are currently out of confinement and back at home with their families, but unfortunately not without a price. bond conditions include they are not to have any contact whatsoever with anyone in any motorcycle club, including ours, and including each other. gps ankle monitors which cost 750 per month that we have to pay for, assure that they will not leave travis county, no drinking and 10 pm curfew. we were able to get jon and therons bikes out of impound, but they will not release ryans until we sort out a registration concern, and for the moment we believe they wont be trying any sort of civil forfeiture. and so nearly 40 grand later, lives turned upside down, here we are. in a holding pattern with rights removed while the waco legal system takes its time trying to figure out what the hell they are doing.

Still waiting for the LE Photo OP with the 1K weapons confiscated. Now regarding those who said (not here) that how different blacks were / are treated in places like BMo compared to waco. Where's the outrage over $1M in bail per, confiscation of property etc. Where's the outrage over this.
Hell the media ran with the difference between POC's and this "White" gang treatment. Where's the media now asking why there's been little if any release of info regarding what the charges are ? Oh that's right #bikersdon'tmatter.

Some more legal questions being raised: https://www.texastribune.org/2015/06/10/lessons-2002-costs-just-beginning-biker-case/
snippet:
More than three weeks after Waco police arrested 177 bikers following a deadly shootout at a local restaurant, no charges have been filed in the killings, nearly half the bikers remain in jail on unusually high bonds, and more than a few legal experts — including former prosecutors — are starting to wonder what is going on in McLennan County.
The sluggish process of sorting out the guilty from the innocent raises civil rights questions, and potentially exposes the county to significant costs for arresting and detaining people who had no involvement in alleged crimes, experts said. So far, one federal civil rights lawsuit has been filed (http://www.wacotrib.com/news/twin-peaks-biker-shooting/hewitt-biker-files-civil-rights-lawsuit-over-twin-peaks-arrest/article_980ad502-2984-5527-9b51-d673a72b551c.html)against the city of Waco and McLennan County by one of the bikers.
Why does this whole thing sound a lot like the Denver intersection mass (http://www.policestateusa.com/2014/aurora-colorado-manhunt/) arrest kicked up a notch?
"Arrest them all, let the courts sort 'em out."

More from Breitbart, as of 6/14/15: http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2015/06/14/four-weeks-later-waco-police-narrative-unravels/
Interesting snippets:
After reports saying that one of the nine people killed – 65 year old decorated vet Jessie Delgado – had no criminal ties or club affiliation, a piece in the Dallas Morning News two weeks ago Friday (http://dallasmorningviewsblog.dallasnews.com/2015/06/more-on-bear-kirschner-the-biker-who-was-gunned-down-in-waco.html/) raised new questions about another man killed. The article says that Cossacks member Richard “Bear” Kirschner of Richardson had no criminal record, and that he drove to the Waco event with his wife, in their family car.
The Waco police press release (http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2015/06/14/waco-police-say-only-three-officers-fired-at-twin-peaks-bikers/) on Friday confirmed the use of suppressors.

How many do you or others here carry. How about one of the alleged bikers was arrested with a semi-auto high capacity pistol that carried 17 rounds with extra magazines with the capacity to shoot 51 people [panic]
The medias plays to the common denominator, of fear.
