” Many suspect the Cassocks are a front for the Feds. ‘
Really?
Eight of the nine dead were Cossacks.
Former Bandidos leader Edward Winterhalder does not agree.
“My understanding through the biker grapevine is that many knew it was a cop ambush “
am·bush
noun: ambush; plural noun: ambushes
1. a surprise attack by people lying in wait in a concealed position.
My understanding is that one Bandido was killed, along with 8 Cossacks. If the Cossacks were a front for the feds, then they got some 'splainin' to do.
Interesting, since the Cossacks are also reportedly allied with the Hell's Angels (the Bandidos' long-time rival / enemy).
I can see the feds possibly stirring things up within the skinhead biker crowd, just to pull something into the news other than Ferguson/Baltimore/etc.
That is unintentionally funny!
However, that is new news to my ear.
It is common knowledge that the biker gangs service the cartels. Thus, it is not a conflict over rocker patches; It is over who controls the territory and thus the profits.
Would anyone be surprised if the Feds wanted a cut of the action? I wouldn't.
