They found blood in the bathroom. Wounded and those fleeing to safety came into the restaurant and into the bathroom. As I recall from conservativetreehouse and waitress comments (the restaurant video viewed by AP), the shooting started outside.
Even if there was fighting in the restaurant, I have found nothing other than a “hypothetical” tying the fighting to an undercover cop.
I’m sick of the texas troll but you sound normal enough to have a discussion without all the snark.
Gunshots hit people in the restaurant and maybe even the back patio. I don’t know if they were shots fired by the police who went right on through someone to only hit an innocent somewhere behind the original target or if they were missed shots by the police or if they were shots made by handguns from people there. Is there any wonder there was blood found?
What we can guess with what little we know is this appears to be a setup by the Bandidos to teach the Cossacks a lesson in respect. If this is in fact true; they were really stupid to do it at this function (with 20 cops there) which has nothing to do with club turf and everything to do with political action concerning bikers. I don’t care how many times the texas troll says otherwise. That is the function of the COCI meetings.
There were two different planned events that day unknown to most of the attendees. The first was a supposed meeting between the Bandidos and the Cossacks to talk peacefully about a problem they had. From what I can gather; none of the Cossacks had any reason to believe it would be anything other than a peaceful powwow. Thing got out of hand either by instigation or by happenstance. With the police presence there; we can assume there had been talk of something more than a simple discussion - at least by one side and maybe both. At this point we simply don’t know. It will take a courtroom to find out all those details.
The big question is how so many got shot (27) and who they were. I now wonder what kind of injuries were sustained now that we find out one person is paralyzed for life.
We need to see the autopsy reports and the various restaurant and dash cam videos to know much more than what the witnesses have told us. Video doesn’t lie unless altered and hopefully the autopsy and ballistic reports don’t lie either.
If this entire thing is on the bikers then so be it but right now I see some culpability by the police. That may change when the proof hits the net. Until then...
And would someone cut the tail off that gator and turn it into breaded and fried nuggets. We could call them troll nuggets. They taste like snake ironically.
