More stupid reporter tricks - “Waco police have reportedly had premonitions that a violent scene might erupt” http://www.inquisitr.com/2097594/shooting-between-biker-gangs-in-waco-leaves-nine-dead/
“Police have declined to release the names of the gangs involved, but at least five were present. Some of the gangs were fighting as allies. Police estimate that between 150-200 gang members were involved.” http://www.wthr.com/story/29086608/9-dead-in-waco-biker-shooting
“it was a fight between the Cossacks and the Bandidos. Based on their leathers, it appears the Scimitars, Los Pirados, the Veterans, and the Leathernecks were also involved.” Hmm, the Leathernecks!?! I’m still having a hard time seeing the Scimitars there. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3085546/At-nine-dead-huge-gun-battle-rival-biker-gangs-Twin-Peaks-restaurant-Waco-Texas.html#ixzz3aSi3n6Dl
“The Cossacks (pictured left at the scene) and the Scimitars were working in alliance against the Bandidos” http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3085546/At-nine-dead-huge-gun-battle-rival-biker-gangs-Twin-Peaks-restaurant-Waco-Texas.html#ixzz3aSiZqIxo

Now, this:
Central Texas Patriot Guard says to pray for the families, that reporting is only half truths and that it wasn’t a recruiting meeting but a Texas Confederation of Clubs and Independents ( http://txcocinews.org/ ) meeting which is NOT a gang organization.
Guess that’s why the Leathernecks and Scimitars were there. However, it isn’t on their calendar though it might have been since the cops say they knew (or had premonitions!) there was to be an event and with so many clubs/gangs (don’t mean to lump those two together) planning to be there. If this was to be an innocent meet up of clubs, then that could be the reason Twin Peaks didn’t “cooperate” as the cops thought they should or the lack of cooperation is just an exaggeration. I can’t say for sure about any of the above.
The area is usually a quiet and safe area. The children and their families were at a nearby restaurant, Don Carlos, in the shopping center, not at Twin Peaks.
Excerpt from the LA Times.
I posited earlier up thread that it was quite possible that the LEOs likely poured the lead on those foolish enough to open fire on them, as the LEOs were prepped and already in a "hot" status, resulting perhaps, in a significant number of the dead.
As comedian Ron White likes to say: "In Texas, we'll kill you."
Given that it is a modern bar, there’s a reasonable bet that there were cameras on every square inch of the place.
That footage will eventually get leaked.
Ok, found the Texas Confederation of Clubs and Independents’ event listed on the United Clubs of Waco site so the meeting was scheduled - http://localendar.com/public/ucoctadmin . You can see there are non-violent club events listed. Of course, combining booze, big boobs, and bad apples in a Sunday School room would be asking for trouble, too.
