    This is classic Tig. Always starting trouble, yet always manages to escape the horns.

    Considering Chicago has a population of 2.7mil and Waco has 129,000, I'd say that'd be like 188 people dying in a shootout.

    I doubt that's a "Tuesday".

    Bunch of thugs. If the President had a son, he would be on a Harley shooting people up.




    oh i mean, that's unfortunate, RIP.

    Apparently the Twin Peaks where the incident occurred was a haven for gang activity (odd).

    I think the end result here of gangs taking each other out is probably good for the people of Waco. Maybe they should build reopen the fighting pits.

    Cossacks (with help from Scimitars) vs Bandidos. Apparently they have a history.

    Seems kinda lame for a grown man/women to be in a biker gang in 2015.

    I thought Waco was a Christian town? Gang style shootings are not very Jesus like.

    North Central Texas is lousy with meth, it's a transport crossroads between Houston, the border, the upper Rockies, OklaDallas, and east up into Arkantucky.

    I like this quote: Waco PD Sgt. Patrick Swanton says the fight "started as a fist fight, escalated to a knife fight, then to a gun fight."

    Not that a per capita analysis is even valid, but just to further blow up your terrible logic, those bikers were from a broader region than simply Waco. In case you didn't know, Waco is centrally located in Texas, and has easy access to the large metro areas via I-35 and Hwy 6.

    Nah, ATF ran them off in the 1990's.
