Bulletin warns Texas police of potential new threats from bikers

Waco, Texas (CNN)Texas law enforcement officials are investigating what they say are new threats against officers from biker gangs in the wake of a recent shootout in Waco.

Members of the Bandidos biker gang who are in the military "are supplying the gang with grenades and C4 explosives," according to a bulletin issued Thursday by the Texas Department of Public Safety and reviewed by CNN.

The bulletin warns of plots targeting high-ranking law enforcement officials and their families with car bombs. The bulletin is based on unsubstantiated information from an informant who claimed to have obtained it from Bandidos and Black Widows motorcycle gang members.

The Bandidos want to retaliate against police for shooting "their brothers" as they came out of the Twin Peaks restaurant, the bulletin says.

The gang has ordered a hit against Texas troopers and other officers, according to the bulletin. Among the threats are running over officers at traffic stops and the use of grenades and Molotov cocktails and firearms.

The Motorcycle Clubs [AKA “gangs”] are at war with the Mexican Mafia.

Oh, whatever for?

I question the authorities’ truthfulness in this report, and in the reports on the massacre committed by unknowns several days ago.

The only time I had single access to live ammo and grenades was at our ASA Operations site near Bangkok.
The ammo/demo shed had lots of termite, thousands of rounds of M-14 ammo, and several cases of frag grenades.
Also several tubs of document destroyer. I did an inventory on it monthly.

I'm not including weapons and ammo issued to our duty MP, or to those assigned each day as armed courier. All Comm center personal would also have had access to the weapon inside the secure room, near the vault door.

Stateside, the only time I had live ammo was once as payroll guard, and that issued for live fire trainings at a range. That ammo was strictly controlled.

Stateside the weapons vault was always double access. Ammo was not in the same vault.

TV and movies are 95% fiction.

Waco. Another massacre. Another cover up. Is Senator Danforth available?

Islam threatens us every day, what are they doing about that? Have they
cracked down on Mosques yet?, or do they just need to start riding motorcycles
to get noticed?

This is propaganda, pure BS!

Another massacre.

Like the Shedden biker-on-biker massacre?

Some information from the article seems plausible despite the CNN source:

“...the Cossacks motorcycle club, which lost seven members in the fight.”

So now we know who the cops were shooting at. They were probably clustered.

“Waco police initially estimated that investigators recovered more than 1,000 weapons from the restaurant. Police revised that number Wednesday afternoon, saying their count had reached 318 weapons, including more than 100 handguns and more than 100 knives.”

Bogus arrests? A hundred and seventy guys with that many guns and ammo should have caused a major blood bath if they were all involved.

“The nine men killed in the shootout ranged in age from 27 to 65, the Southwestern Institute of Forensic Sciences said. Some of them were fathers. All of them died of gunshot wounds.”

A 65 year old gang warrior? Doubtful...

“Rhyne, 39, had been a member of the Cossacks for about six months.” ... “He didn’t believe in guns,” she said. “He got in many fights throughout his years, but he never needed a gun to protect himself.”

This was the guy who was the wonderful kindly family man who wouldn’t hurt a fly in a previous article.

What the jackboot lickers and the “shoot them all down they are all scumbags” crowd should be concerned about, but aren’t is the casual manner that the police took the lives of 9 individuals. And another fact they continue to deny is to the police they, the jackboot lickers and the shoot them down crowd are scumbags also.

There is no proof (yet) that the police were responsible for all the killings and/or injuries, so it’s not a conclusion I’m willing to jump to.

I do believe that we (and the press) are intentionally being misled by an assortment of law enforcement organisations against the best interests of the citizens.

This biker fight was an isolated incident and we must be wary that it is not used to advance additional anti-freedom agendas.

I don’t get it. You’re part of a gang, that has a bunch of weapons, and you’re just out for a sunday ride?
Turf? Respect? Past grievances?
You hang with troublemakers, it’s going to come to you, plain and simple.
That said this story is bullcrap, but if you don’t want to get caught up, then don’t hang with people who live ‘outside’ the law.

I’m sure the FBI will be willing to provide whatever explosives are necessary to keep things stirred up. It’s their MO.

I live in Texas, I ride a motorcycle, and because my state believes in the 2nd amendment I carry a weapon everywhere I ride, whether it’s to the grocery store or to meet up with friends and ride. Tell me please what is wrong with that?

Because you ride a motorcycle you can be murdered by the state, and it’s all perfectly legal.

Kinda how what Hitler did was all legal too.
