Thanks Travis for pulling this information together. As you say, ballistics and blood trails will tell the tale.
In looking at the time-line again, I came across the following, and would like your take on how it fits into your hypothesis. Cochran does not appear on the list of those arrested.
***Steve Cochran, a national bikers’ rights advocate from Waco who witnessed the melee, blamed the incident entirely on the Cossacks. Cochran, who is a founder of the Waco chapter of the Sons of the South, is an official with the U.S. Defenders Task Force, a legislative group affiliated with the Texas Confederacy of Clubs and Independents.
He arrived at Twin Peaks on Sunday to set up a sound system for the COC&I meeting, only to find that the violence already had started.
Bandidos members were to be part of the meeting, which was to focus on legislative issues common to all bikers, Cochran said. He said police gave no indication to him or other COC&I members that their lives might be in danger.
“These meetings have gone on for 20 years, and we’ve gone all these years without a single incident until Sunday,” he said.
Cochran said the Cossacks have never been part of the COC&I organization but about 60 showed up on their bikes.
“They rode en masse to that meeting for the sole purpose of creating some kind of trouble,” he said. “Their intentions were not saintly. . . . If they had not showed up there, we wouldn’t be discussing this now.”
Cochran said in the past nine months or so, Cossacks have been harassing other motorcycle clubs. *** etc. Taken from conservativetreehouse.
I wonder if the Cossacks are a FLEA “counter-gang” op gone out of control?
