“Meanwhile, guys like Matt Clendennen, a good guy and probably a 2nd amendment rights kind of guy, have their personal, professional, and financial lives permanently and severely harmed. “
Then why was he wearing a Cossack patch and involved in a gang war?
The ONLY accusations that Cossacks engage in "organized crime" on a par with the drug and human trafficking, racketeering, robbery and murder that Bandidos/Hells Angels type clubs have long been known and established for doing with convictions to prove it, are coming from law enforcement in one unattributed blanket statements: "Cossacks see Waco as their territory," and "He said the bike gangs financed their activities by dealing in drugs and prostitution," the "he" being Sheriff Parnell McNamara of Mclennan County.
Other than that, the entire story that Gator links proves that at all times, the Bandidos were the aggressors, that the only times Cossacks engaged in violence was in reaction to being attacked/harassed by Bandidos.
So apparently, any club that the Bandidos decide to attack is then classified as a "criminal gang" by law enforcement SOLELY because the Bandidos are attacking them.
