WACO — Richie was the first to die, then Diesel, then Dog.
Whatever else they were in life, the men with the biker nicknames were Cossacks, loud and proud and riders in a Texas motorcycle gang. And that’s what got them killed, shot to death in a brawl with a rival gang in the parking lot of a Texas “breastaurant” that advertised hot waitresses and cold beer.
“I saw the first three of our guys fall, and we started running,” said their brother-in-arms, another Cossack, who said he was there a week ago when the shooting started at the Twin Peaks restaurant.
...
In several interviews in recent days, the Cossacks rider offered a different story. He said the Cossacks were invited to the Twin Peaks patio that day — by a Bandido leader, who offered to make peace in a long-running feud between the two gangs. That invitation was a setup for an ambush, though, according to the Cossack. That’s why the dead included six Cossacks, one Scimitar (an ally of the Cossacks) and only two Bandidos.
The biker’s story could not be independently verified; most of those involved in the shootout are still in jail. But significant parts of his account square with police statements, as well as security camera videos obtained by The Associated Press.

From the Cossacks side, they view this as a set up by the Bandidos to extract in blood the $100 per month "fee' charged to use the Texas Rocker at the bottom of their jackets. And to settle a couple of recent scores.

After the bloodshed, Texas authorities warned of the threat of further violence, saying that the Bandidos had called for reinforcements from outside the state.
“History has a way of repeating itself,” Swanton said. “Violence amongst these groups leads to more violence amongst these groups.”
The Cossack said he, too, believes more violence is brewing. He said he received a call late Thursday from a friend in Bandidos leadership, who warned him to get out of his house and spread the word that the Bandidos were “coming hard” after Cossacks.
He said he was told “they’re going to hit houses. They’re going to hit funerals. And if another Cossack or a cop gets in the way, so be it.”
This guy is lying. All those bikers were killed by a bunch of power crazed, jackbooted killer cops who used Uzi’s and Bazookas supplied by the Obama administration just so they could kill a lots of hard working , church loving, teddy bear giving motorcycle riders who were on their way to Mom’s house when this whole thing took place. I know I’m right because I read all about it here on FR over the last couple of days.
A rose by any other name. Cartel violence American Style.
... and they were getting their lives together and going to marry the mothers of some of their children, and they were all model parolees and honor students.
It’s that 99% that make the other 1% look bad.

All other types of drivers, boaters, campers, etc., have been abducted. Most states enacted mandatory motorcycle helmet laws over twenty years ago. During this time period motorcyclists have been abduction free. It seems the helmets protect against more than crashes. The helmets must shield the brain from whatever type of electromagnetic field that aliens use to render people unconscious. The US military switched to Kevlar helmets over ten years ago. The aliens have always snooped at US military bases to test our defenses. A military police unit probably overpowered some aliens, on one of those ground incursions because the MPs wore Kevlar helmets. I bet the MPs were then able to capture the saucer.”

"Biker killed in Waco was Purple Heart recipient"
The family of one of the bikers killed during a shootout at a restaurant in Waco, Texas, Sunday was apparently a Vietnam veteran who received a Purple Heart and other war medals.
Jesus Delgado Rodriguez was known by friends and family as “Jessie” and to fellow bikers as “Mohawk.” His family said he had previously belonged to motorcycle clubs and had friends that belonged to the Bandidos, but was not a member of any of the rival biker gangs said to be present during the shootout.
Furthermore, the family said not only was he not a violent person, but he went out of his way to avoid violence and was often involved in charity events.
“He never carried a weapon,” said Vincent Ramirez, Rodriguez’s son. “He didn’t believe in guns. He didn’t even own a gun. The ones he did own he got rid of years ago.”
Rodriguez would not have gone to the event if he thought there was a chance that violence would have broke out, according to his family.
The family also said they didn’t even know that Rodriguez had been involved in the deadly brawl and that they were never notified of his death. Rather they found out from reporters swarming the house once the identities of those killed had been released. The autopsy indicated Rodriguez died from gunshot wounds to his head and trunk.

I never new that. You know I also read on FR that 14 year olds molesting their 4 year old sisters is no big thing either. If you object to such “exploration” (I read that on a thread, I s..t you not), you are a no good heathen, who hates Jesus.

Wounded Knee Massacre
(Note all the Medals of Honor passed out to the killers. The JBT boot lickers on these threads will say them damn Injuns had it coming, and they should have known to turn over all their guns peacefully when they were so ordered.)
The Wounded Knee Massacre (officially Battle of Wounded Knee) occurred on December 29, 1890,[5] near Wounded Knee Creek on the Lakota Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in the U.S. state of South Dakota. On the day before, a detachment of the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment commanded by Major Samuel M. Whitside intercepted Spotted Elk’s band of Miniconjou Lakota and 38 Hunkpapa Lakota near Porcupine Butte and escorted them five miles westward (8 km) to Wounded Knee Creek, where they made camp.
The remainder of the 7th Cavalry Regiment arrived, led by Colonel James W. Forsyth and surrounded the encampment supported by four Hotchkiss mountain guns.[6]
On the morning of December 29, the troops went into the camp to disarm the Lakota. One version of events claims that during the process of disarming the Lakota, a deaf tribesman named Black Coyote was reluctant to give up his rifle, claiming he had paid a lot for it.[7] A scuffle over Black Coyote’s rifle escalated and a shot was fired which resulted in the 7th Cavalry’s opening fire indiscriminately from all sides, killing men, women, and children, as well as some of their own fellow soldiers. The Lakota warriors who still had weapons began shooting back at the attacking soldiers, who quickly suppressed the Lakota fire. The surviving Lakota fled, but U.S. cavalrymen pursued and killed many who were unarmed.
By the time it was over, more than 200 men, women, and children of the Lakota had been killed and 51 were wounded (4 men, 47 women and children, some of whom died later); some estimates placed the number of dead at 300.[4] Twenty-five soldiers also died, and 39 were wounded (6 of the wounded would later die).[8] At least twenty soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor.[9] In 2001, the National Congress of American Indians passed two resolutions condemning the awards and called on the U.S. government to rescind them.[10] The site of the battlefield has been designated a National Historic Landmark.[5]
I know a whole lot of guys that ride around on Harleys trying to look like they are tough. Every one that I know are doing it to have fun and live some type of strange fantasy that I do not really understand. They are mostly a bunch of retired guys.
I do appreciate the groups that show up to keep the protestors away from military service member funerals. I also appreciate the ones who show up when WWII “honor flights” return from DC. Although the old veterans usually do not know who they are and why they are there. I have had several who asked me what all the old “hippies” were doing at their event. To most WWII vets a bunch of long haired scruffy looking motorcycle guys just look weird and threatening regardless of their friendly intent.
I’m with you!
