The son didn't even have a criminal record, don't know about the dad.
And remember, Elderberry and everyone else reading -- those red-and-gold "support clubs" of Bandidos rode right past at least half a dozen MARKED POLICE CARS on their way in. It's not mentioned in the article, but it was part of the context.
The article doesn't also mention that pics taken afterward clearly indicate the presence of under-cover Cossacks -- to wit, official LEO pretending to be Cossacks, perhaps Bandidos as well. A lot easier for provocateur UC agents to manipulating some Cossacks -- for a UC "criminal gang" cop, I'd think it would be a hell of a lot more dangerous to infiltrate a real bad-ass biker gang like the Bandidos (smart enough to come in pick-ups) than one populated with such "criminal" Cossacks as the young arrestee who had a b-b- gun in his truck that was seized.
But, but they were NOT wearing vests!!!!!!!
The meme by law enforcement was the Cossacks were the bad guys which falls apart with this view of the story. Oops, no mention of a bathroom brawl that moved through the restaurant and finally outside leaving blood and guts splattered everywhere making the restaurant “surreal” according to Sgt. Swanton.
The only thing I want to know is which ones were the under cover cops who stirred the pot.
