1. The bad guys were probably restricted to Bandidos, who have established reputations and are on an LEO list of dangerous criminal clubs. The Cossacks are NOT included on that list, and in my own personal searching, I discovered that the Cossacks were only deemed "criminal" by LEO after Waco. Also, I discovered that local to Waco, asshat bad-dud Bandidos had several times harassed/attacked Cossacks just for being Cossacks, but of course in the eyes of law enforcement who responded, that then makes Cossacks "equal" to Bandidos.
2. These supposed bad guys who were "there to rumble" were made up of Bandidos on motorcycles who had just ridden past about half a dozen marked police cars before said rumble, and Cossacks who could plainly see the same massive number of cop cars IN VIEW.
I don't know what this was, but I know what it wasn't. It wasn't a bunch of bad asses so incredibly stewwwwwpid as to pull-down in the clear presence of half a dozen marked cop cars.
We’ll see...hopefully.

One would not think they could be so stupid, but . . . there you have it.
As the testimonies on this report indicate.
The stakes must have been high for their various criminal enterprises to square off at Twin Peaks. Yet they did.
To the credit of the Confederation, they called off a thousand bikers protest riding through Waco a Sunday or two ago. So, take that as evidence of what sense you credit them with. I am also grateful that the situation was not escalated by a Confederation protest, for there were and still are some both Bandidos and Cossacks held and there was no need for their dispute to erupt at the Court House.
Servus, of course
