News Heightened security in Waco after biker gang deadly shootout 192 people arrested

[brassmonkey]

WACO, Texas (AP) — Law enforcement remained on alert in Waco, Texas, early Monday after a deadly shootout between rival biker gangs shook up the community, and attempts at intimidation ensured officers will stay on the streets, police said.

Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said 192 people have been arrested on charges of engaging in organized crime following the Sunday afternoon brawl at a Twin Peaks restaurant that left nine bikers dead and at least 18 more wounded.

"Our citizens are safe. I will tell you that we have had threats against law enforcement officers throughout the night from various biker groups. We are very aware that some of them have come into our city and we have a contingency plan to deal with those individuals if they try to cause trouble here," Swanton said at a news conference early Monday.

The violence erupted shortly after noon in the restaurant at a busy shopping center along Interstate 35 where members of at least five rival gangs had gathered for a meeting, Swanton said late Sunday. Preliminary findings indicate a dispute broke out in a bathroom, escalated to include knives and firearms, and eventually spilled into the restaurant parking lot.

"I was amazed that we didn't have innocent civilians killed or injured," Swanton said.

The interior of the restaurant was littered with bullet casings, knives, a club, bodies and pools of blood, he said. Authorities were processing the evidence at the scene, 95 miles south of Dallas. About 150-200 bikers were inside during the shootout.

Parts of downtown Waco were locked down, and officials stopped and questioned motorcycle riders. FBI and federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents were assisting local and state authorities in the investigation.

Police and the operators of Twin Peaks — a national chain that features scantily clad waitresses — were aware of the meeting in advance and at least 12 Waco officers in addition to state troopers were outside the restaurant when the fight began, Swanton said.

He said officers shot armed bikers and that the actions of law enforcement prevented further deaths. It wasn't immediately clear whether any of the nine dead were killed by police officers. The identities of the dead have yet to be made public.

LOL, yeah it's just a show, this kind of shit doesn't happen very often.

I'd like to know what clubs were involved, were they local clubs or national. There are different types of clubs.

The Branch Davidians heard the gunfire down the road and set fire to their compound again, just in case.

LOL, I'm seeing idiots on Facebook calling them skinheads and wondering why the national guard wasn't called in. Simple answer, history!

Waco Biker Brawl: Bandidos Are 'Baddest of the Bad,' Expert Says - NBC News

The Bandidos see the Hell's Angels as too nice," said Julian Sher, a Canadian investigative journalist and author of two books about biker gangs. "They relish their brutal pedigree. Among the bad guys, they are the baddest of the bad."

He added: "You don't join an outlaw motorcycle gang because you like riding a bike. You join knowing their reputation for violence. The Bandidos go one step further. They view the Hell's Angels as too corporate, so you are talking about extreme people who join."

Ya I use to go to a biker bar in PHX called Steel Horse Saloon and it was known as a Hells Angels bar. Never seen any trouble in the 20-25 times I was there and they seemed polite.

Cops shut down the Hell's Angels Niagara clubhouse here in our city back in '06. Despite their presence in the community back in the day, there was never any local violence that I heard of.

Living in the Valley here in LA, we see a lot of Clubs. Most have simple rules, "start shit get hit"

Hit the Sage Brush Cantina during the summer on a Sunday afternoon and you will see a lot of clubs roll in, no colors are allowed. But it's plain to see who is who.

The Hell's Angels host several events for charity during the year, fun to go to and watch the helicopter fly in circles watching everyone!

They probably opened another one near by. Saw that happen in Northern California. They had a clubhouse outside of town and one night it burned down. They started a new one in town.

Hard to prove who did what
They all look the same, that's why all the bikes look the same, a witness is useless if they say th guy on the black Harley wearing a patch. Most wear full face now because they are even harder to identify.

They respect each other from what I've seen. I stay away from anything meth.

I've had the opt to join (Couple Times), just not my thing. I have several friends that are hardcore. Too many rules for me. But I love to ride. This weekend, riding up the coast a bit to enjoy some of the wine country. Solvang, Los Olivos, Lompoc. Me and my girl having a little fun. Best part of riding a Harley!

You need to re read that, that's a list of stuff from years ago included.

[dyna mo]

as bad guy as the bandidos appear to be this "meeting" of several hundred from multiple rival gangs was pretty stupid. first, that's not how meetings work, you don't take everyone to the fucking meeting. second, that means this was a planned public brawl at a local eatery.

and that's pretty fucking stupid. i'm still lolling some of the knuckleheads bit the dust. fuck those guys.

[sinclair]

Patchover!

[pimpmaster9000]

inspired by the new mad max movie some coked the fuck out of their mind fat ass bikers decided to shoot the shit, and being the fat shit asteroids that they are, it was practically impossible to miss each other, and this explains perfectly the huge amount of dead and wounded fatshits, and the 0 civilian casualties obviously because none could fit, the volume of the building was consumed by fat semi-cripples that wear a harley like a thong

it is a testament to the quality of american bikes, and the efficiency of american weapons because after all, penetrating like 6 feet of fat and actually critically wounding a jabba the hut, is a miracle in itself...

This was over the bottom rocker patch of Texas. Cossacks thought they got big enough and began to wear Texas bottom rocker. Banditos is the largest MC and obviously didn't want to share their turf.
4 confirmed killed by police. Other 5 not known yet.

[TCLGirls]

Please do not call these fine upstanding citizens GANG members. Bikers aren't in gangs...they are just in "clubs".

That's probably what happened, that bottom rocker is that important.
