How this story was reported
Bikers who might never have considered talking to outsiders before Waco recently spoke with CNN. Some were in the thick of the violence, others were hundreds of miles away. Most face serious prison time.
CNN also obtained voluminous documentation, including witness statements, and hours of video evidence from Waco police dash cams, as well as a cameras police set up in the restaurant parking lot. CNN also obtained and reviewed videos from the Twin Peaks surveillance cameras.
That evidence, along with interviews with experts and bikers from both clubs, form the basis of the documentary, "Biker Brawl: Inside the Texas Shootout," which airs for the first time on Monday at 9 p.m. on CNN.

I’ve seen the bikers in action; back in the day, the 1st turn infield at the Indy 500 was called “the Snake Pit,” and for a reason. It was basically the Wild West, run by the Outlaws. But there were rules. Obviously, you didn’t mess with the bikers. But, you were expected to not mess with others, either.
Once we saw a muscle head bullying a smaller guy. Why, I don’t know. But the Outlaws saw it, went over to the bully’s van and slashed his tires, then beat the crap out of him. It was very rough justice, but it I can’t say it wasn’t deserved.
My anecdotal experience has been that so long as you behave respectfully and don’t give offense, and understand that you are not one of them, you will be OK.
Well, yes but my point still stands. At least the story got that right.
My brother owned a biker apparel store and I helped him out for parties, bike shows, etc. The Hell’s Angels always had a booth near ours and they were always so nice and polite to me. It was always yes ma’am and no ma’am. Same way when they came into the store.
Well, duh, no one was invited. Those meetings are open to the public. But that's the meme the msm continues to tout.
Police suspected something was up; they'd installed cameras and stationed about 20 cops around the parking lot. But they stood back, keeping a low profile... The feds had been building a case against the Bandidos unrelated to the Waco shootout
Ding, ding, ding. Total set up with undercover LEO making sure the feds and WPD, etc. had something to start shooting at.
Can you say undercover?
It was set up by the government and agents provocateurs planted in the biker gangs.
bump
“This is a pilot program by the Fed Gov in mass group arrests under very vague charges. “
Uh, this was a gang war and charges are from the state of Texas.
Thanks for the post. Am out of the country, but thx to the magic of modern technology, just set that to record.
You’re nuts.
Right, undercover agents always start shootouts that they will be right in the middle of taking fire from their own backup... that’s just genius level strategy right there!
Really!

In a blink, it started, he said: “Two punches: One from them, one from us.”
A Bandido with a patch identifying him as sergeant-at-arms of the same chapter threw a punch at Richard Matthew Jordan II, 31, known as “Richie,” who was from Pasadena, Tex. Jordan punched the guy back.
“At that point in time, the sergeant in arms shot Richie point-blank,” the Cossack said.
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.”
He said that the second man to die was Daniel Raymond Boyett, 44, known as Diesel, a “road captain” in the Cossacks from Waco. Police said that Boyett died from gunshot wounds to the head.
The third man down was “Dog,” whose real name is Charles Wayne Russell, 46, of Winona. Russell’s cause of death was listed as a gunshot wound to the chest.

“I’ve read that there was at least 3 who were informants or undercover agents within the biker groups at Twin Peaks that day.”
Here is some more info for you:
“My anecdotal experience has been that so long as you behave respectfully and don’t give offense, and understand that you are not one of them, you will be OK.”
hmmm.
As long as you respect gangsters, they will let you be.
DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“witnesses have said that a Waco cop wearing a Cossacks cut was firing shots, then helped make arrests afterward.”

I see the PR team for the Waco PD has shown up.
Oh, I didn’t say they weren’t criminals or gangsters, or that they should not be prosecuted for their crimes. But there will be situations where you might have to deal with them. In those situations, it’s best to know the rules. If you want to disregard the rules and take them on, be my guest.

Lol...that was good!
