9 dead in Waco...Sons of Anarchy style!
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/05/17...ting-in-texas/
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.
There are movies that failed to make this kind of thing up.Quote:
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.
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...Quote:

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.Quote:

I heard this was a picture of the gang:
Attachment 58364
And this was their leader:
Attachment 58365
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.Quote:

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.Quote:

Bad guy weapons? Not Good guy weapons like sunshine and lollypops? Sounds scary.
I'm assuming he was wearing a sidearm as he was making this statement. Guess he is a bad guy?Quote:

Too bad they all look too old, fat, and worried about messing up their matching goatees to get in a real fist fight.
Another element of American society that jidahists will encounter here.
Sheriff with a P90, don't see that everyday...

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.
I'd like to see the piles of "bad guy weapons" the cops took off the bikers.
190 bikes kept as asset forfeitures?
Some of them will be auctioned off and if you are fortunate, or unfortunate enough to win one at auction I would repaint and reconfigure it before riding it. Would hate for the bike to be recognized by a former owner or another member, you'll may lose the bike at the next stop light.Quote:

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.
Can't see that going anywhere with freedom of assembly.
Possible RICO?Quote:

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.
Yeah, It's amazing no innocents were hurt.Quote:

You think you'd be as safe at a biker party as you would at say a gun club bbq? LoL. What was this thread about?
They're retaliating alright. Both the Cosaks and Banditos have declared a war on anyone in uniform, I'll try to find a link.Quote:
