Main headline on Drudge. It has trumped losing a lot of Iraq to ISIS yesterday.
At least guns were not the only weapon "Police say that multiple weapons were involved in the conflict, including chains, knives, bats, clubs and firearms."

Twin Peaks... Tilted Kilt... Hooters... There are reasons I don't visit places like this and I am glad that carries me forward to this day. I had a friend talk me into going to a Hooters once a long time ago. Worst hamburger I have ever attempted to eat.
Didn't really care for their wings, either.

Our power was of from the storm last night and we were getting ready to go to a restaurant near Twin Peaks for lunch about 11:30. The power came back and we didn't go so we missed the excitement.
Having eaten at a Twin Peaks once (before I had a CHL) most of their revenue has to be coming from alcohol sales..............
The TABC has suspended their license for 7 days pending a hearing and the chain is already talking about pulling the Waco franchise license.

Well, I'm going to Waco tomorrow to visit a friend. Looks like i'm gonna have to pay even more attention to my surroundings than usual. I think i'm gonna bring a rifle to keep in the car in addition to my EDC.
Apparently there were 2 main gangs involved. They were the Bandidos and the Cossacks. Last I heard the Scimitars were also involved.

I would guess someone "disrespected" someone else and the violence grew from there.
This meeting was supposed to be about territories and recruiting prospects. Didn't work
out to well. I seriously doubt anyone was OC'ing...... I'm not a big supporter of OC, but,
OC had nothing to do with this incident today. News media that suggests CHL or OC had
anything to do with today's event is bogus media.

2 dead and 47 wounded in Chicago this weekend. I bring this up only because no one appears
to want to report this, while this aberration in Waco will be front page for a week.
I think we oughta send the bikers after ISIS.

America has been becoming desensitized to the violence in Chicago for decades.

Anyone in uniform needs to be extra careful. Biker gangs have ordered their members to shoot anyone in uniform.

Hmmm? The bikers may be rambunctious and rowdy but I'm really surprised they'd be stupid enough to issue an order to kill everyone in uniform?

This was shared by the wife of a top local police official.

Maybe they're using the business model of the Nick and Sam's in downtown Dallas; $3 pitchers of mimosas so you'll be too drunk to notice how nasty their overpriced food is.

Well, the bikers wear uniforms too, so maybe the police should return the favor? Gangs of all flavors are out of control in this country and it's getting worse, not better.

I believe the bikers have now removed their colors to try and go undetected.
