“Does anyone doubt that u/c on the job on 5/17?”

If so, he is not Voodoo, whom (Bow Tie alleged) encouraged the Cossacks to go to Waco (based on what several Bandidos told him; how Bandidos knew there was a snitch or undercover in the Cossacks I don’t know).

Anyway, Voodoo was performing CPR during the gunfight according to Ledbetter, above. “Bandanas were stuffed in bullet holes to try and stop the bleeding.” Maybe Voodoo had formal training in CPR, maybe he didn’t. But would have blood on him.

The cop in the picture doesn’t have any blood on him.

I’ve read enough to not believe 2/3 of these silly little stories of.the cossacks and banditos trying to avoid prison. Uh oh, starting a vendetta because I didn’t capitalize their names. I hear them coming now.

“Cossacks where already at the restaurant, the Banditos pull up, and the Cossacks crashed the party? A ‘party’ that was a confederation of colors?”

The ‘party’ was a meeting called by the Bandidos and the place of the ‘party’ was reserved by the Bandidos. The Cossacks did not pay the proper extortion fees to the Bandidos.

“The article doesn’t also mention that pics taken afterward clearly indicate the presence of under-cover Cossacks — to wit, official LEO pretending to be Cossacks, perhaps Bandidos as well.”

I missed those photos. Can you link?

“Somehow I think it was over much more than the “Texas Rocker””

It was over what the Texas Rocker represents.

“Well, since nobody here knows exactly what happened, I will take the word of the police over the bikers, until I see proof of something different. “

Even the bikers said the bikers were the first shooters. It just varies on which gang shot first.

This might be him...there's blood on his hands.

“Even the bikers said the bikers were the first shooters.”

They do agree more than they disagree. Weathers, Bandido, in his telling of the sequence of events is consistent with Ledbetter (and the earlier testimony of the anonymous Cossack leader).

Weathers heard the double-tap that is consistent with Diesel’s two shots in the head.

“Did the police massacre occur because they were trying to protect ....”

Sounds like a justifiable shooting.

I stand with the rule of law. In that regard, with what we have been told, the Waco PD and the local court system look bad, very bad.

This guy has a white beard. Voodoo has a red beard. I think we can identify this guy if we need to. But the first aid Voodoo guy would have blood on more than his hands! All over his clothes.

“It all sounds like a lot of BS. That’s the first time I’ve heard that one.”

That story was out a few days after the shooting.

Oh, isn’t she sweet. A ‘A Cossack Loves Me’ patch next to a SS lightning patch ...

From the account in the article it sounds like the cops saved lives by ending a gang battle.

‘A Cossack Loves Me’ patch next to a SS lightning patch ...’

Not so sweet, more deluded. Yet she is responsible for her own associations.

They don’t teach history anymore, do they? I guess in the absence of an historically informed conscience, mere “biker” “glamour” takes precedence over the real meaning of what they proudly wear on their garments. Can’t they just google the meaning of what they place upon their bodies to advertise and proclaim? OR?

Oldy but Goody.

Hells Angels try to move in on Outlaws alliance with another gang. Outlaws quench effort.

Rumors are rampant that the Cossacks were aligned with the HA’s.

I doubt the Angels will have much to do with the Cossacks after the dust clears from this shootout...in fact Angels were seen at Candy-man Rodriguez’s funeral
