Funny that this isn't getting 24 hour coverage from all news media outlets. I saw it briefly mentioned yesterday and briefly mentioned this morning...but in Baltimore...

9 dead in Texas biker brawl

(CNN)Gunfire erupted Sunday among rival biker gangs in Waco, Texas, leaving at least nine people dead, according to police.

Authorities had anticipated trouble and pre-positioned officers.

"There were at least three rival gang groups here this morning for whatever reason. As they were here, we had officers on scene. We expected issues," said Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton, a police spokesman. He later said there were at least five gangs.

The fight broke out at Twin Peaks restaurant and spilled into the parking lot. It quickly escalated from hands and feet, as weapons, to gunfire, Swanton said.

"In my nearly 35 years of law enforcement experience," he said, "this is the most violent and gruesome scene that I have dealt with."

Bikers shot at each other and at officers, who returned fire.

Swanton expressed anger at Twin Peaks, which he claims had been less than helpful in dealing with gangs in the past. He declined to identify the specific groups involved in Sunday's shooting.

"Are we frustrated? Sure. Because we feel like there may have been more that could have been done by a business to prevent this," he said.

Corporate management at Twin Peaks released a statement saying it was reviewing the circumstances of the shooting. The Waco restaurant is franchised.

"We are thankful no employees, guests or police were injured in this senseless violence outside the restaurant, and our sympathies are with the families of those killed," the statement said.

To escape the fight, some restaurant customers and employees took cover in the freezer, according to CNN affiliate KWTX. The station reported that more than 100 weapons were recovered, and Waco police said officers were continuing to arrest people arriving with weapons.

Swanton told reporters that eight people were dead on the scene and another was pronounced dead at an area hospital. A total of 18 people were taken to the hospital. It was not immediately clear whether that figure included the person who died. All those injured or dead are believed to be bikers.

No officers were hurt, Swanton said, praising their response.

"Their action has saved lives in keeping this from spilling into a very busy Sunday morning," the spokesman said. "Thank goodness the officers were here, and took the action that they needed to take to save numerous lives."



 
Fuckin thugs, animal & savages. Where are their parents? We cant allow this type of violence to hurt peaceful protests. Oh wait they're white?

How Many People Got Arrested for Last Night’s Biker Gang Shootout?

A shootout between rival biker gangs rocked Waco, Texas, Sunday night, leaving nine dead and eighteen wounded. The number of people arrested for the carnage: 192 and counting.

“In 34 years of law enforcement, this is the worst crime scene, the most violent crime scene that I’ve ever been involved in,” said police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton. “Dead people are still there. There’s blood everywhere. We will probably approach the number of 100 weapons that we’ve recovered.”

Police joined in the gunfire. Astoundingly, no officers or bystanders were injured.

“Within 25 feet there were families eating dinner,” Swanton said. “I was amazed that we didn’t have innocent civilians killed or injured.”

The fight reportedly started over a parking spot, but followed weeks of mounting tensions between upwards of five biker gangs who intersect at the restaurant, which the Texas Alcohol Commission is considering closing until things cool off.
Officials said the restaurant had been “negligent” in not working with police before the shootout.

Police in central Texas have been on high alert ever since, following rumors that more bikers were on their way to the Twin Peaks restaurant, the site of the shootout.
 
It's Waco .... They probably only have 15 cops in the whole city

They don't know how to handle something like this

And that place smells .... Worse than San Antonio

 
JADE HELM!!!! Still worried about rioters in Baltimore when they have credible sources stating that they've give the 'GREEN LIGHT' on ALL uniforms. Lets see the armored trucks and assault rifles.
 
They shut the Twin Peaks down and the corporate office revoked the franchise license.

170 arrested, pretty sure ain't enough handcuffs in all of Waco.
