SO.... NOW, it is NOT 2 unnamed gangs, or 3, it's FIVE.
NOW- it was NOT a fight that escalated into gunplay. It was a meeting being supervised by police. :
NOW- the restaurant that AGREED to have all the gangs, police & regular patrons there is now being investigated & the police want to make sure " the owners" are doing their part in preventing future violence.
5- Police had to close many businesses, for public safety because of 'organized crime' including WALMART.... but don't worry it has reopened. But there is a possible FUTURE treat. * National Guard? Curfews? State of Emergency?.... Any takers ?

Mainly a blog type article claiming to have multiple sources so.....grain of salt and all that:
"" A shoving match in a bathroom at a Confederation of Clubs meeting in Waco, Texas exploded into a war yesterday. Nine people were killed, 27 people were injured, 17 were hospitalized, two are listed in critical condition, and 160 men were arrested following a brawl at a chain restaurant in a shopping center on the South Jack Kultgen Espressway. The fight resulted from a long simmering dispute between members of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club and the Cossacks and the Scimitars Motorcycle Clubs. Curtis Jack Lewis, president of the Abilene chapter of the Bandidos, and Wesley Dale Mason, the chapters’ sergeant at arms, were accused of stabbing two Cossacks outside Logan’s Roadhouse in Abilene in November 2013. The two Bandidos were charged with aggravated assault in March 2014. The Scimitars are in the process of patching over to the Cossacks. Other clubs in attendance at the Sunday brunch included the Blackett Arms MC, Gypsy MC, HonorBound Motorcycle Ministry, Renatus MC, Escondidos MC, Sons of the South MC, Los Pirados MC, Leathernecks MC, Vietnam Vets/Legacy Vets MC, In Country MC and the Tornado Motorcycle Club. All of the arrestees are being charged under Title 11, Section 71.02, a draconian Texas law titled “Engaging in Organized Criminal Activity.” According to that law, “A person commits an offense if, with the intent to establish, maintain, or participate in a combination or in the profits of a combination or as a member of a criminal street gang, the person commits or conspires to commit one or more of” most of the acts that are illegal in Texas: Including possession of small amounts of marijuana, transporting a firearm, and possession of banned weapons like brass knuckles and butterfly knives. Police seized about a hundred weapons at the crime scene Sergeant Patrick Swanton, a spokesman for the Waco Police Department, called the attendees. “A bunch of criminal element biker members that came to Waco and tried to instill violence into our community and unfortunately did just that…. This is not a bunch of doctors and dentists and lawyers riding Harleys. These are criminals on Harley- Davidsons.” The Restaurant Did It The Texas Region One COC and Independents meeting was scheduled to begin at one p.m. The fight began about 12:15. Local police had urged the restaurant, a Hooters knock-off called Twin Peaks, to refuse service to bikers. Waco police claim the violence could have prevented if Jay Patel, the operating partner at the independently owned Waco franchise, had simply banned the Confederation of Clubs from meeting there. In a statement Sunday, Patel said “our management team had had ongoing and positive communications with the police.” Sergeant Swanton said, “What occurred here today is the worst-case scenario when a business owner puts profit over human lives. It’s sad. This could have all been avoided.” The restaurant has been sponsoring a bike night on Thursdays. Local police have been trying to convince the management to stop that, too. It is legal in Texas, as it is in most states, to ban the display of motorcycle club patches in public establishments. “They were aware that there were issues here,” Swanton said. “It was local management here. We told them of the issues, we tried to get assistance in reference to dealing with these crowds but they would not cooperate.” Today, Front Burner Restaurants, which owns the Twin Peaks chain, announced it was cancelling the Waco restaurant’s franchise agreement. “We are in the people business and the safety of the employees and guests in our restaurants is priority one,” the announcement said. “Unfortunately the management team of the franchised restaurant in Waco chose to ignore the warnings and advice from both the police and our company, and did not uphold the high security standards we have in place to ensure everyone is safe at our restaurants. “We will not tolerate the actions of this relatively new franchisee and are revoking their franchise agreement immediately. Our sympathies continue to be with the families of those who died and are very thankful no employees, guests, police officers or bystanders were hurt or injured.” Swanton said, “That’s a good thing for law enforcement here. That is one issue that we don’t have to worry about – people coming in and creating another incident after the tragic incident we had last night.” Swat When the restaurant refused to ban the Confederation of Clubs, police stationed at least 22 cops including at ten Swat officers from the Waco P.D. and the Texas Department of Public Safety in the parking lot outside the restaurant. They did not station either uniformed or plain clothes officers in the restaurant. The shove in the bathroom became a scuffle in the restaurant. When about 30 Bandidos, Cossacks, Scimitars and other bikers spilled into the parking between the Twin peaks and the Don Carlos Mexican restaurant next door, the police were waiting for them. The scuffle became a knife fight and several men were stabbed. When one of the combatants produced a gun the Swat team opened fire with automatic weapons. Multiple sources have told The Aging Rebel that all of the dead were killed by police. Swanton said the fusillade “saved lives in keeping this from spilling into a very busy Sunday morning. Thank goodness the officers were here and took the action that they needed to take to save numerous lives.” The investigation into the massacre is being supervised by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Since the massacre, police have announced that there is “credible information about threats toward law enforcement.” Waco police issued a bulletin at 10:13 Sunday night that announced: “Our agency has recieved (sic) information that the Cosaks (sic) and Banditos (sic) have issued an order to kill anyone in uniform.”. http://www.agingrebel.com/12873 Lord help the cops........they done went and spelled the clubs names wrong lol |

Well the 2 gangs mentioned in the article are known around this part of Texas plus Twin Peaks is a well known biker hang out. Let's face it, it ain't Cracker Barrel. Wouldn't surprise me if the Booze Fighters were there too. Waco has a big place (head quarters) for the Bandidos

Oooohhh ... greedy business owners fault, ( no one else's ) they should of said " I'm sorry, all you gangs, you can not come "
.... So the owners brought all this death & destruction on themselves, & on the local police & the community... THEIR decision, they should of known better. * Too bad, too convenient fight broke out in a bathroom .. Now, no security cameras there.... instead of bar stools thrown earlier, too many wittiness for bar stools * Let's blame the 'victim' owners & pick some 'fall guys'.

Wonder what their disagreement was about. Which one had the biggest sweetroll?
Well, if you would listen to certain people who are mentally ill they would say it was a conspiracy between the CIA, FBI and DOD to start some kind of war that their Paranoid Personality Disorder comes up with. Well.. if it was a war on obesity. than I would applaud the effort .. those were some fat, out of shape (mostly old) men there... trying to act tough. They are 1%ers, from some "no name" gangs that most likely patched over to the local larger gang ( Bandito's, Warlords, Hells Angels, ect). A bunch of middle age wanna bees... with some Grandfathers sprinkled in. From what I've read that is how the Cossacks and Banditos got most of they're membership by patching over. All though the Banditos are considered a Tier 2 gang in Texas along with the Bloods and Crips. A lot of the people I have seen on TV being arrested have to be in their mid to late 40's and 50's. I have only seen a few younger ones... |

I guess it difficult to grasp, for an outsider..* NO offence* . but biker gangs are not really ' armed street thrugs ' .
More like ' organization crime ' having a power struggle, which has been brewing for months. Uhhh... No offence taken? difficult to grasp????
There is NOTHING you can teach me about street level thuggery. You can put lipstick on a pig all you want... call it a minor business skirmish all you want. I've seen it all up here, brewing FOR DECADES! 
I see a lot of it out here also. The only difference between these guys and the mob are that these guy's don't conceal their identities, they wear them on their back. The Local Hell's Angels ran one of the biggest legal brothels in Nevada for many years until 2014 when they county was able to change the laws and take it from them after the chapter President was arrested and convicted on many charges including Child Porn. I was in Sparks for Street Vibrations when all hell broke loose between the Angel's and Vagos and people were getting killed in the Casino and on the street. These guys are animals. |

They went corporate years ago. They operate many legal businesses as fronts for their criminal activities. They own brothels, bars, restaurants, motorcycle shops and repair shops etc. |

Just from some of the still photo's seems the 'obesity factor' worked well for both sides of the shoot out event! UGH But on the serious note: 'WTF' were they thinking to allow this to take place in a state that has been 'ARMED AND DANGERSOUS' for years and in such a family oriented setting? GOOD GRIEF... With all the chaos; WHEW, the local yokels were exceedingly lucky that there weren't any citizens wounded/killed --- those unfortunate employees that had to be on duty to have to crawl some where safe to get out of sight!!! there is no doubt there was some fat cops in those photos as well. But I can only go by my own experiences. I have rode for years and been in many poker runs and bikers bars.. with 1%ers. And in my experience there are 2 kinds of 1%ers, really fat or thin. But the fat ones are the vast majority. I usually go to the "thin" side of the bar" as the pretzel dish is always empty on the " fat" side |

Police in Waco, Texas say nine people are dead and multiple people are injured after a shooting between rival biker gangs at a restaurant Sunday. Authorities say the nine people killed in the shootout were all members of rival biker gangs that had gathered for a meeting. Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton told The Associated Press that eight people died at the scene of the shooting at the Twin Peaks restaurant about noon Sunday and another person died at a hospital. The severity of injuries to others was not immediately known and it is not clear if bystanders at the restaurant were among the injured. "There are still bodies on the scene of the parking lot at Twin Peaks," he said. "There are bodies that are scattered throughout the parking lot of the next adjoining business." Swanton says the gangs had arranged to meet to discuss differences when a fistfight began and quickly escalated to include knives and firearms. He says there were "hundreds" of gang members and a small number of other patrons in the restaurant. "This is probably one of the most gruesome crime scenes I've ever seen in my 34 years of law enforcement," Swanton said, later adding, "I was amazed that we didn't have innocent civilians killed or injured." At least 18 people were transferred to local hospitals with gunshot and stab wounds. Swanton said Department of Public Safety troopers, police officers from several cities and deputies from the McLennan County Sheriff's Office have surrounded the restaurant to secure the area. “Officers were on scene when shooting started,” the Waco Police Department posted on Facebook. “No officers have been injured.” "Dozens" of suspected gang members have been detained, Swanton said. A photo from the scene showed dozens of motorcycles parked in a lot. Among the bikes, at least three people wearing what looked like biker jackets were on the ground, two on their backs and one face down. Police were standing a few feet away in a group. Several other people also wearing biker jackets were standing or sitting nearby. Swanton said police were aware in advance that as many as five rival gangs would be gathering at the restaurant and at least 12 Waco officers in addition to state troopers were at the restaurant when the fight began. When the shooting began in the restaurant and then continued outside, armed bikers were shot by officers, Swanton said, explaining that the actions of law enforcement prevented further deaths. Patrons and bystanders dove for cover. It's not known what triggered the violence but Swanton and McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna said tensions had simmered among rival gangs for months. "Apparently the management (of Twin Peaks) wanted them here and so we didn't have any say-so on whether they could be here or not," Swanton said. Swanton told KWTX that the fight started in the restaurant with fists and feet, then escalated to chains, clubs and knives and then to gunfire. Please avoid the Central Texas Market Place as the area is NOT safe. Officers are continuing to arrest individuals coming to the scene with weapons,” the Waco Police Department posted on Facebook. “This is not the time to sight see as we are dealing with very dangerous individuals.” Police also were heading to a nearby Flying J Truck stop because a large number of bikers were seen gathering there, KWTX reports. A witness who asked not to be identified told KWTX that he had just finished eating lunch at the nearby Don Carlos Mexican Restaurant with his family and walked out into the parking lot when they heard gunshots and saw wounded people being taken from the scene. "We crouched down in front of our pick-up truck because that was the only cover we had," the man said. Swanton declined to identify the gangs but many men wearing vests inscribed with the words "Bandidos" or "Cossacks" were seen in the area. In addition to local and state police, agents from the FBI and federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were also at the scene about an hour and a half south of Dallas. Swanton said authorities are concerned that gang members are moving to other parts of the city to continue the confrontation elsewhere. McLennan County District Attorney Abel Reyna told KWTX earlier this month that law enforcement was aware of simmering conflicts between gangs that gathered at the restaurant. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/05/17/police-report-multiple-fatalities-after-shooting-in-texas/ Just waiting for the truthers to say the Government set this up........
Must have been Operation JADED-HELM!  
I wonder how many were killed by the Police? |

Just from some of the still photo's seems the 'obesity factor' worked well for both sides of the shoot out event! UGH But on the serious note: 'WTF' were they thinking to allow this to take place in a state that has been 'ARMED AND DANGERSOUS' for years and in such a family oriented setting? GOOD GRIEF... With all the chaos; WHEW, the local yokels were exceedingly lucky that there weren't any citizens wounded/killed --- those unfortunate employees that had to be on duty to have to crawl some where safe to get out of sight!!! there is no doubt there was some fat cops in those photos as well. But I can only go by my own experiences. I have rode for years and been in many poker runs and bikers bars.. with 1%ers. And in my experience there are 2 kinds of 1%ers, really fat or thin. But the fat ones are the vast majority. I usually go to the "thin" side of the bar" as the pretzel dish is always empty on the " fat" side You should come out for Street Vibrations. It's pretty awesome. |

I guess it difficult to grasp, for an outsider..* NO offence* . but biker gangs are not really ' armed street thrugs ' .
More like ' organization crime ' having a power struggle, which has been brewing for months. Uhhh... No offence taken? difficult to grasp????
There is NOTHING you can teach me about street level thuggery. You can put lipstick on a pig all you want... call it a minor business skirmish all you want. I've seen it all up here, brewing FOR DECADES!
I see a lot of it out here also. The only difference between these guys and the mob are that these guy's don't conceal their identities, they wear them on their back. The Local Hell's Angels ran one of the biggest legal brothels in Nevada for many years until 2014 when they county was able to change the laws and take it from them after the chapter President was arrested and convicted on many charges including Child Porn. I was in Sparks for Street Vibrations when all hell broke loose between the Angel's and Vagos and people were getting killed in the Casino and on the street. These guys are animals. Kitty's and Moonlight... Denis was always an @ss kisser, trying to get HA to frequent his brothels .. But, was never a patch holder, unless that came recently. Sagebrush and wild horse... Marv... Well, I never saw Marv associating with any biker types... That leaves kit kat.

It's pretty awesome. I always have a great time at the runs. I do Myrtle beach and a few others whenever I can. 99% of those who ride are great people.. the other 1%... are not... and they " coined" that phase themselves ( 1%er). In this instance, they went looking for trouble.. and found what they were looking for... so be it. |
