Nuclear power plant technicians, senior military officers, FBI contractors and an employee of “a highly-secretive Department of Defense agency” with a Top Secret clearance. Those are just a few of the more than 100 people with sensitive military and government connections that law enforcement is tracking because they are linked to “outlaw motorcycle gangs.”
A year before the deadly Texas shootout that killed nine people on May 17, a lengthy report by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives detailed the involvement of U.S. military personnel and government employees in outlaw motorcycle gangs, or OMGs. A copy of the report was obtained by The Intercept.
The report lays out, in almost obsessive detail, the extent to which OMG members are represented in nearly every part of the military, and in federal and local government, from police and fire departments to state utility agencies. Specific examples from the report include dozens of Defense Department contractors with Secret or Top Secret clearances; multiple FBI contractors; radiological technicians with security clearances; U.S. Department of Homeland Security employees; Army, Navy and Air Force active-duty personnel, including from the special operations force community; and police officers.

I would think that the Administration would be concerned about biker groups, with those kinds of people as members, potentially being opposed to the Obama Administration.
I think so. This has the smell of Obama all over it.
Pinging people from the prior Waco shooting thread
Being outlaws they are hard to control... they will rebel.
Oh, I wish it was only a lone light-loafers type pushing over some motorcycles.
It was an affront by one gang to another, unfortunately.
I’m surmising that events like Waco might have the larger effect of pushing rival gangs to drop their mutual grudges because there is a Leviathan to fight.
An echo of the bloods-and-crips patch-up in Baltimore, except that in this case the enemy isn’t imaginary.
they keep calling it a shootout. I still don’t know if shots were fired both ways
Possibly not. It looks like it began as a knife brawl if the story of the Cossacks coming in Bandidos guise is the accurate one. So the Bandidos, true to form, didn’t call security; they just started cutting the clothes off the Cossacks. Not one story of a serious knife wound let alone a fatal one.
One of your best. lol
Thank you.
I loved working out the the sign and the angle!!
it will be interesting to see if any of those shot dead was shot by another gang member
It’s possible that none were. That this particular combination of bikers still had some sort of “honor in brawling.”
I could see answering a scene like this with tasers or tear gas, but not sharpshooters.
it’s disconcerting. It’s also disconcerting that almost 200 guys are being held on a million dollar bail and facing organized crime charges. I don’t remember the last time nine civilains were killed by police in 1 showdown in recent history.
I dont believe a word of it. Another attack on the military and police by the Obama bu++ lickers.
“The photo of the dead bikers laying in the parking lot next to their bikes looks like the were picked off. It sure didn’t look like a biker rumble aftermath. This whole story stinks like the story of the anti Muslim tape after Benghazi.”
That dog don’t hunt no more. Cossack president details killings. Says Bandidos set them up!
Police said Jordan died of a gunshot wound to the head.
“Then all the Bandidos standing in the parking lot started pulling guns and shooting at us,” he said. “There were maybe 60 or 70 of us in the parking lot. We took off running. We scattered. Three of our guys went down instantly. They caught a couple more that tripped and fell, and Bandidos were shooting at them.”
“it will be interesting to see if any of those shot dead was shot by another gang member”
From the Cossack president’s description it sounds like the Bandidos got most or all of the eight Cossacks.
Active Duty/Retiree ping.
