    I was thinking that, but damn, you have to think that would be a kiss of death for a restaurant to have to do such things.

    Seems that undercover cops estimate half of these biker guys will be ex-military. And that half are likely carrying illegally. I knew little about this world before tonight. It sounds like this war was all about turf. Which is just dumb. especially when you know the cops are sitting on it. 190 arrests is crazy. Some of them are going to go to prison for murder likely just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    I am curious now about rolling thunder. Is it dangerous to go see?

    Weren't most all the original bikers in Cali Vietnam Vets who were looking for a band of bros in the states after leaving that hell hole.

    Well, yeah, but they also liked motorcycles.

    The cossacks apparently want Texas and the bandidos say noway. Why can't they just vote on it.

    There is a video at the link that has an interview with an undercover DEA agent that has spent time with 3 different biker gangs. (Couldn't figure out how to post it.)

    The bandidos say they are OK back in 2011

    Lived and worked in Houston my whole life. I've only seen Bandidos once and that was about 40 years ago. If they have a presence in Houston, it's got to be about as low profile as a biker gang can get.

    One of those guys in the mugshot has to be related to Harvey Keitel.

    It looks like the Baylor bubble has become even more bubbly since I left.

    reports from the other side say that Waco police/swat did most (if not all) of the shooting.

    well when you have the lame stream news reporting... who would you trust to give you the correct information? the news or people on the ground? I feel it's best to hear from both sides because the "news" has a habit of.. errr.. pulling a Brian Williams

    I don't see how it makes any difference though. If to stop hundreds of people fighting with knives and chains you have to shoot a few....so be it. It's not like anyone worth a damn got killed.
