“Do you know what the ‘showdown’ was about ?”

I think, as I recall it was over “turf” and that some of the Cossacks “feeder clubs” were wearing “the Texas Rocker,” which somehow pissed off the Bandidos.
Personally, I think they are all a bunch of useless children, but I also believe in the rule of law and the Constitution. The fact that so many were charged without sufficient direct evidence of involvement, and that now, nearly 900 days since the event in Waco, no one has been tried, gives rise to prosecutorial misconduct. Which is most likely a result of the Waco cops committing multiple murders under color of authority. I’m fine with all of them going to jail, if found guilty, I just see a crooked “justice system” operating in McLennan County and everyone should be concerned with that. You end up wondering who is in jail there who did not receive equal justice under the law.

You "THINK"! ROTFLMAO! Bandidos have been whacking Cossacks for months over the Texas rocker. I don't think these are 'feeder' dudes. I know you have seen this photo before and also aware of the 'double lightning' tattoos...

Escalating tensions had also drawn the attention of the Texas Department of Public Safety. Two months before the Waco shootings, a warning went out from the Texas Joint Crime Information Center, an intelligence entity run by DPS. The bulletin outlined an incident that occurred in the town of Lorena, just 15 minutes south of Waco. There, a gang of up to 10 Cossacks armed with a chain, a baton and a metal pipe had beaten a Bandidos member and stolen his bike.

The bulletin also noted that on the same day, 150 miles north in Palo Pinto County, a group wearing the Bandidos’ colors (red and gold) hit a Cossacks member in the head with a hammer for refusing to remove a Texas patch from his vest. The right to wear the patch was reserved for Bandidos and their affiliates. The bulletin ended on a note of caution, saying the Cossacks were attempting to get national recognition as a club, and that tensions could “escalate at any time” between them and the Bandidos.
