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.

Yes they will.

I didn’t know who they guy was until we went into a bar, it’s right before you get to the main gate at the navy base in CC.

We were sitting there and there were 2 other guys in the bar at another table.

These two guys were wearing their colors, which they weren’t supposed to do, and were arguing back and forth.

They guy with me told them to shut up and take their colors off, which they did.

A few minutes later they started arguing again and again they were told to shut up.

When they started arguing the third time the guy I was sitting with picked up a metal folding chair and slammed it down on one guys head, the other guy started laughing and he got the chair in his face.

When both of the guys that got smacked with the chair did nothing, that’s when I figured out who I was sitting with.

Ammo for gun-grabbers.

To those without reasoning abilities (leftists), they'll use this as an "I told you so". But for rational people (Conservatives), this is proof that "guns don't kill people, people kill people".

Although I dread the term, "teachable moment" (since hussein uses it so frequently), the reality is that had this happened in a gun-grabber city like Seattle or Portland, the death toll would have been far higher. Because Texas is pro-gun, the count was limited to only nine because of the proliferation of good guys with guns. If anything, the incident some 120 miles of where I'm composing this lends credence to the axiom that an armed society is a polite society. That was further evidenced by the calm and quiet aftermath with no looting, burning or rampaging which I attribute largely to the presence of guns.

In short, when guns are abundant, people behave well and are courteous to each other.

Libs all on twitter demanding to know why the National Guard hasn’t been called in and the cops aren’t lobbing teargas, like in ferguson and Baltimore.

Including this Soros-financed moron:

The police won’t even blame the biker gangs for the shooting! Now, that’s wild. Waco. #TwinPeaksShooting

Report of dead- only Cossacks and Bandidos.

Gathering was a biker association called the Texas Confederation of Clubs and Independents, approx. 150-200 members present.

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.

>>> Officers traded gunfire with bikers after a brawl broke out, possibly wounding or killing “several” at Twin Peaks, a sports bar and restaurant known for its scantily clad waitresses, police said. <<<

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."

Sorry but they don’t look like Mexicans. Unless they were fighting a rival Mexican gang.

Police said they tried to work with restaurant and be inside but they refused.

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.

A biker brawl in Waco, Texas, Sunday that left nine bikers dead and 18 injured Sunday is drawing the astonishing response from liberal media voices that the bikers are being treated differently from inner-city rioters because they’re white.
Barely had the news gone national before race-obsessed New York Times columnist posted a Twitter question wondering whether the National Guard would be activated — like a gang fight is somehow the same as a mass disturbance aimed at mass destruction.
Waco cops, though, seem to know exactly what happened — even if it was extreme.
“There were at least three rival gang groups here this morning for whatever reason. As they were here, we had officers on scene. We expected issues,” police spokesman Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said, according to CNN.
“In my nearly 35 years of law enforcement experience,” he said, “this is the most violent and gruesome scene that I have dealt with.”
The shootings escalated from a fist fight at the Twin Peaks restaurant and overflowed into the parking lot. Biker “thugs” shot at each other, and at police, who returned fire.
Some restaurant customers and employees took refuge in the freezer, CNN reported.
The carnage was evident, with eight gang members dead on scene, and one pronounced dead at the hospital. No officers were injured, Swanton said.
Nearly 100 weapons were recovered from the scene, according to a local CNN affiliate television station.
The Waco police response and press coverage stands in stark contrast to the recent riots in Baltimore.

As police prepare for possible further violence among the bikers, nobody is calling for the National Guard, and nobody expects looting and burning in Waco. And perhaps most importantly, nobody’s hearing the mayor tell the police to stand down. (NOT HARDLY)!

Will curfew be enforced upon Waco, Texas? Will the National Guards be sent in. Will the streets of Waco see paramilitary vehicles? (NOT HARDLY)!

Anyone happen to notice that when there are gang shoot outs in other states there are usually one or two dead and several wounded? In Texas even our gang member know how to shoot. Of course I’m sure the police shot a few too.

The headline says Bandidos and Cossacks. Supposedly they were meeting to discus dealing with a gang out of San Antonio called.

Salt of the earth? This isn't the Patriot Riders we're talking about here. These type of bike gangs deal in drugs, illegal weapons, prostitution, etc... If that's salt of the earth, I'd rather be a rebel...

From the pictures, it looks like Twin Peaks was in a strip mall type of setting with a Don Carlos next to it. Perhaps, and I'm just guessing here, the families weren't in Twin Peaks, but in Don Carlos and other surrounding places.

“Odd, generally Bikers are the salt of the earth.”

“These guys are organized crime but they are also domestic terrorists,” he told The Washington Post. “These guys are heavily involved in methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, motorcycle theft. Those are all primary businesses for them. The thing is, these guys want to put on this appearance, ‘Oh we’re just motorcycle enthusiasts and we just like to ride bikes.’ The evidence is quite to the contrary.” http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/05/18/how-the-bandidos-became-americas-most-feared-biker-gang/

“Ahem. Our Sarah is most certainly the salt of the earth and so so much more!”

Why do we not hear a condemnation of the outlaw gangs by the good riders?

Why do the good riders dress like outlaws?

Why do the good riders have Harleys that hurt your ears?
