The Bikers’ Point of View [Waco]
Texas Monthly ^ | August 26, 2015 | Jeff Winkler

“Somebody planted the sonuvabitch.”

That was one organizer’s immediate assessment after a bomb threat forced about 75 bikers and supporters to disperse from in front of the McLennan County courthouse Saturday morning. The bikers had organized a memorial for the nine people killed at the Twin Peaks shooting in Waco three months ago, but the gathering was also supposed to serve as something of a rally for the 177 bikers arrested that day. But now, thanks to a suspicious cooler and a suitcase, the group dissolved.

Clint Broden, the lawyer most publicly associated with the case, was scheduled to speak. And from the sounds of it, Broden’s address could’ve been illuminating if he’d had the chance to give it—”I will have a lot to say soon, I have been saving it up,” he promised on the event flyer.

It’s still unclear what happened on May 17. Most of the national attention the shootout between cops and bikers garnered focused on the two clubs involved, the Bandidos and the Cossacks—essentially turning into PR campaigns for both sides, with law enforcement and bikers offering two very different interpretations of biker culture. -

So, can you tell the difference between the two groups or not?

I didn’t know whether you were a biker or not was classified information.

(I’m not a biker, by the way, though you might catch me drinking with a few now and then)

“Careful, some of these guys can’t seem to process sarcasm, so they may claim you are on their side now :)”

LOL! That would be the nastiest of their nasties..

They are more than that, but not as many as should be. The judas goats, moles, and plants are also working overtime.

Can you?
I pointed out that your pic was of a Crip.
Something you didn’t seem to know.

All except the undercover cops who probably instigated the fight and did the shooting.

I heard that all the Cossacks were undercover cops out to break up the Bandidos.

I told you they were Crips back in post 114, before you mentioned it.

As to your question, yes, I can tell the difference. Now can you tell the difference between those two groups of bikers?

Or are you just going to dodge the question again, as usual?

Why not? That’s all you need, to say you heard it somewhere, and it overrules all other evidence and testimony, right?

You don’t even have to specify where you heard it, just dodge that question forever if someone asks you, or call them a troll. Seems to be the S.O.P. on these threads.

You said you have no problem with ambush shootings by leo.

Most people don't, as long as it is the other guy that is ambushed and shot.

True.
And usually they state the tired bullcrap of “if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear”.
I wonder how they will feel about experiencing leo harassment.

Darkshear: You said you have no problem with ambush shootings by leo.

You: Most people don’t, as long as it is the other guy that is ambushed and shot.

Darkshear has totally distorted that post .... as usual.

First time I have seen that on the Waco threads.

Bikers and family members have stated that policemen acted responsibly at Twin Peaks and probably save lives by their quick action in putting down the gang fight.
