Despite the characterization by police that the afternoon gathering at a Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco, Texas that led to Sunday’s bloody shooting incident was a gathering of criminal biker gangs with violent intent, the meeting appears to have been a legitimate, organized gathering of motorcycle riders meeting to discuss political issues.
The group that met was the Texas Confederation of Clubs and Independents (CoC&I) and a look at that group’s website and history gives a very different impression of the group’s purpose and goals than what has been said repeatedly by Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton.

Kind of like one group of hunters wearing blaze orange and another group showing up wearing blaze orange and woodland camo. and they start fighting over who can wear the orange.
Make a lot of sense to fight over what one is wearing if your a criminal organization but very little sense if your fine up standing citizens.
They actually invited the Bandidos? That’s strange. Particularly since I assume they would have known that the Bandidos and the Cossacks already had a raging turf war (for their drug sales) going on in Texas.
See post 34 for my own

Well, that's certainly interesting! Wardaddy, take a look.
No, sorry, I was actually writing that to somebody on this forum who is a regular cop-hater. I didn’t mean to include you in that group!!!
My apologies!
“I have see a number of things as to how it started as to an altercation in the bathroom that went outside all the way to one biker shooting at another. For openers there are nine bikers dead, who shot them?”
From the eyewitness accounts, it started outside and many rushed inside to get away from the shooting. Apparently a fight broke out inside the bathroom when it got overcrowded from those trying to hide but I haven’t seen anyone substantiate this.
Most of the staff hid in the cooler. Lot’s of weapons drawn as a waitress said she was afraid that she might get shot if she tried to dial out on her cell phone.
This is the second article Breitbart has had on it.
I posted the first several days ago.
People should take this to heart, if Breitbart is involved.
I was willing to give the cop in So. Carolina some room as what I saw in the images was different than the “party line”. Here, everything we have heard so far points to a Kent State type incident. Police with rifles run amok.
I am reading that only two of the nine dead had a criminal record. One for DUI and one for carrying in a bar. I wondr how many of the 170 locked up with $1,000,000 bond have criminal records.
Maybe they all do; but it's strange that seven bikers with no criminal records got dead.
“They actually invited the Bandidos? That’s strange. Particularly since I assume they would have known that the Bandidos and the Cossacks already had a raging turf war (for their drug sales) going on in Texas.”
You don’t have a meeting without the Bandidos. They run the show in Texas.
“Here, everything we have heard so far points to a Kent State type incident. Police with rifles run amok.”
Interesting. At Kent State we had a mob led by communist organizers taunting the police.
Here we have over 50 Cossacks show up uninvited with unapproved patches ....
“Maybe they all do; but it’s strange that seven bikers with no criminal records got dead.”
Interesting that most of the dead were Cossacks ...
When the story is that the Cossacks who were in a long feud with the Bandidos about the Texas rocker patch, showed up uninvited with their unauthorized patches and then were attacked by the Bandidos when they showed. up.

Waco “Twin Peaks” Shooting Updates: 14 Police Officers Fired “thousands of rounds” on 200 Bikers Killing 9, Wounding 18 – Two Thirds Of Those Arrested Had No Prior Criminal History…
IRONY – The death toll from the “Twin Peaks” shootout was greater than the total number of homicides Waco police investigated in all of 2014 – And all of the “Twin Peaks” dead were shot by police.

Thanks for the ping.
“I am reading that only two of the nine dead had a criminal record. “
I am reading that five dead had Tx records.
I hear two conflicting stories a lot from the organized crime gang fans.
I hear both;
A) They are no threat to anybody, not really criminals, and if there is a “rumble”, bystanders are left alone and are never harmed. Its in their code of “honor”.
B) Every biker club, even Christian and Veteran are REQUIRED to attend under threat of violence if they do not have “permission” from the Banditos.
Which is it?
The fact it was a legitimate, organized gathering of motorcycle riders meeting to discuss political issues does not preclude it was also a gathering of criminal biker gangs with violent intent.
The former does not necessarily exclude the latter
This guy said they don’t draw much attention from the national and international groups and don’t have to pay because they aren’t serious enough riders.
The police story was that they wanted the restaurant to refuse the bikers service, not to hire additional security.
“Waco “Twin Peaks” Shooting Updates: 14 Police Officers Fired “thousands of rounds” on 200 Bikers Killing 9, Wounding 18”
Interesting how that gets twisted.
If you go to their linked source (the lawsuit) you see that
‘thousands of rounds were fired by law enforcement and gang members’.
It also claims the shooting started among the gang members.
