You sure they didn’t cover up their cuts? Because you never remove your cut unless you are home and have a safe place for it.
No they didn’t wear their colors in the bar when the bar was open to the public. They owned the bar and it’s bad for business.
One or 2 people don’t want to go into a bar by themselves if everyone else in the bar is a biker wearing colors.
The bar was right before you got to the main gate at the navy base. Navy was their main customers.
Drunk sailors also like to fight so no point in giving them a reason.
About 15 years ago MC clubs across the nation “joined” together to keep cops from harassing them. Leaders from each club meet once a month to discuss issues. Lots of times lawyers are present to comment. Outlaw clubs allowed it and sometimes or most times joined in, probably to keep eyes on the goings on.
It is suppose to be a way of keeping the peace as well. It sounds like it was meeting of “the confederation of clubs” which is what they call themselves.
I bet some fights started, maybe a gun or three was pulled, maybe shot and then the cops shot a bunch of bikers. The Cossacks are mostly joe six packs and not hard outlaws whereas the Bandidos have more outlaws.
Chances are a prospect club is making inroads into Texas and Waco. That’s when the red and white or outlaws will help start a local club in another groups area. It starts small and escalates until the red and white patches them over and they already have a foothold.
Sounds like what is going on here. Maybe the scmitars? are R&W
