    The police have acknowledged they were criminal biker gangs. That's why there were officers already on scene. Many of those involved have been charged with organized crime.

    Obviously I'm not pro old style out west shoot outs at the Twin Peaks. I'm just not going to weep when I hear about it. I feel really bad for all the innocent patrons of that establishment and innocent citizens shouldn't have to deal with this type of garbage. I just plain don't care about gang on gang crime as long as it isn't affecting innocent people. They could all kill each other and I wouldn't shed a tear. I'm tired of people living in a supposed civil society that cannot live civilly.

    No tears from me either my friend. But please dear Lord let's not go back to the 1870's.

    Waco is just up the road from me and there are always biker club meets up there, both 1% and normal clubs alike. Looks like it finally got out of hand. I still haven't seen what clubs were involved besides the Bandidos but those dudes are everywhere here in TX. We were going to ride up to Waco on Sunday and in that same area but my buddy's Harley broke down so we stayed home to work on it.

    This a free country, biker gangs can go where they like in most places. What do you mean the police "wanted" them to get all together so they could arrest a lot of them? It is like you are blaming the police for the shootings.

    I do not feel that his post blamed the police at all, just pointing that the cops knew the meeting was going to happen so they went looking for known criminals or fugitives.

    cops being at these meetings are normal

    these types of meeting happen all the time and there is generally a cop presence at all of them

    99% of the time, nothing happens

    and I still don't know whether to laugh or cry at the fact that this all happened over patches on a jacket...

    Oh but those patches..... so much meaning. Especially the bottom rocker

    Those boys went in knowing they were giving the proverbial middle finger and got exactly what they wanted.

    Maybe, but when it affects your livelihood you might feel differently.

    The fight is not about the rocker (patch), it is about what that rocker represents and says. If those Cossacks woulda showed up with a KS rocker no worries. But a TX rocker?!?! TX is Bandito country and has been and will continue to be. Pretty much anything that comes from south o de border gets touched by them at some point. It is about territory and in turn money. The Banditos run the show there and were allowing the Cossacks to do their thing WITHIN reason. The Cossacks decided they had grown strong enough that it was time to challenge them. Hence showing up wearing the rockers that they KNEW would start ****.

    Its not about patches or colors, its about MONEY!! Nothing more, nothing less.

    Hook if some guy showed up tomorrow and handed you his business card and said you were over and he was taking on all your work going forward and you were S.O.L. would ya be pissed?
