ODESSA — Detectives arrested three motorcycle gang members on charges that they executed the leader of a rival gang, saying they fatally shot him in his truck as he sat at a red light in the middle of rush hour traffic.

Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco said he fears that Thursday’s public burst of violence could ignite a war between local chapters of two infamous motorcycle gangs: the Outlaws and the 69ers Motorcycle Club.

Nocco announced the arrests Friday. He said both gangs have national footprints, and investigators believe members from around the country may come to Florida because of the shooting. The sheriff anticipates more trouble.

See photos at link. This assassination happened Thursday evening around 4:45 PM and by yesterday evening, law enforcement had 3 men in custody. The assassins had their faces covered up along with their license plates when this act was committed.

To call it an assassination is to impart a level of dignity to both the act and to the victim which is entirely inappropriate.

So Hitler couldn’t have been assassinated? I guess, I saw that in one of the articles on this but as for this thread, it appears to be my own term.

Pumpkin Mencher had his face covered and license flipped up but they recognized his bike. You would think for an operation like this they would steal some dirt bikes or something so they wouldn’t be suspected.

There is a difference between a low-life Head of State, and just an ordinary low-life.

Heads of State are assassinated. Ordinary low-lifes are murdered.

“He said a conflict between the 69ers and the Outlaws could quickly escalate because each club is likely to bring in reinforcements from outside the area.”

Exactly what happened in Waco when the bandidos brought in reinforcements.
