Nine people have been killed and 18 hospitalized in a shoot-out between rival biker gangs at a recruitment event in a Texas restaurant on Sunday afternoon.
What started as a physical fight in the bathroom spilled out into the bar and rapidly escalated to involve chains, clubs, knives and gunfire across Twin Peaks Bar and Grill in Waco, local media reports.
Diners, including young children, scrambled and many took shelter in the freezer as hundreds of gang members ran rampage around the booths, according to KXXV.

I do not.
Enlighten me.
The Bandidos are mostly white.
WTF yourself. I’m definitely over 50, actually know a number of bikers through Patriot Guard and other organizations, and have to agree with the “salt of the earth” description.
LOL!!
Amen, I have ridden with Patriot Guard.
Waco is also on IH-35. All sorts of low lifes go up and down that highway.
Pathetic....
“They were onsite “just in case” based on intel.”
You can send me a PM and let me know what that means. I love conspiracies.
You really don’t understand any of this, do you?
Don’t know anything about the “Cossacks” or “Scimitars” but the “Bandidos “ have been around forever. Not a Mexican gang despite the name, mixed anglo/hispanic mostly anglo.Probably the same with the other two. Just a gang of criminals
Outlaws used to be non-club or non-affiliated individual bikers. I’ve been one for something over half a century. As with gummints, churches, fraternities, and old folks homes there are dirt bags occasionally in every group. Dangerous and at least un-courteous to try to over generalize bunches. One might be grateful to see a biker show up after having a highway breakdown, for example. One of my old memories is the time I gave a bike ride to an old timer who had a locked-up game leg. It was hard for him to get into a car with the stiff leg. He thanked me after we got over the mountain especially for not hooking his right, stiff, leg on a guard rail.
Exactly. Bikers and Outlaw Bikers are -and always have been- two different types of folks.
I hate I 35 but stop at the Waco Heath Camp for a super burger and a malt, then spin down 77 to the coast

I know the guys that held my sister’s benefit have been very good to my dad and sisters.
I don’t know what the name of their club is but they all mostly wear patches where and when they served. Bases, ships etc.
Cossacks, Banditos and Scimitars. The Cossacks and Scimitars do work together. It's required that all Banditos in the state attend the funeral of one of their fallen. The Banditos have a sort of Frito Bandito dude on their back patch and have a "1%" meaning they're outlaws.
“Before there were Vietnam Vets, there were just outlaw bikers”
The Hells Angels were begun by WWII vets for the most part
That looks good! Never been there.
Yes. And Sturgis has been around since before World War II though I have no idea what it was like back then, they celebrated their 75th anniversary a few years ago.
