The Breitbart article is basically some quotes from other newspapers. Not exactly news, I think. Especially when a substantial part of it is quoting an article that quotes a woman who wasn't there but is repeating "rumours swirling" around the biker community.

meh.

I'll wait a bit longer.

Why are they assuming that weapons found buried in the ground belonged to the bikers?

Why on earth would they assume otherwise?

Some here seem to want to come up with conspiracy theory for what ever reason. There are a lot of regular guys and gals out there that love to ride. This is not about them. This is about a bunch of bad guys gathering with bad intent. I don't care what anyone says about motor cycle gang riders, they are bad. I have had to deal with them when I was in Police work back in the 70's and 80's. The bottom line here is a bunch of them gathered at Twin Peaks, the reason is not important. A big shoot out and brawl insured. Bullets were flying every where. Fortunately there were Police ready at the scene and were able to contain it to the Twin Peaks location. Fortunately no innocent bystanders were injured, a tribute to the Officers at the scene for their quick response to contain it. It is very unsettling for those of us who live here and those that shop at the Central Texas Market Place. We have a very good Police force in our area and a very good DA. They have tried very hard to gather all the evidence properly and will go through all the people arrested and decide who should be charged and who should not. We should let them do their job. No matter what anyone thinks of those that lost their life or were injured in the event they all have someone that loves them. We should pray for them.

Well said.

They must kick out a lot of members on a regular basis then, because if you google "Bandidos" and "convictions" or "arrests" you sure get a lot of results...

I think corporate Twin Peaks will be just fine. They may end up paying out some $$, but this is not going to bankrupt them by any means. The only people who got killed were part of the problem, and I think that is probably true of the 18 or so that got wounded, and the 170 hauled off to jail. No one is going to have a lot of sympathy for any of them.

If a nearby family of non-criminal-biker types had been wounded or killed, or some employees, it would be a different ball game, but I haven't read of any. Recall the recent incident at the College station incident. True innocents died in those, there's a judgment against McD, no doubt appealed, but Ronald McDonald is still marching along. If TP corporate has half a brain, they will give the employees generous severance packages to shut up and go away, but even if they (the employees) and some non-biker customers elect to sue for emotional distress, TP will offer them the choice between a small pay out now or years of trials and appeals, and if it goes to trial I doubt the plaintiffs will get a lot of sympathy. Biker gangs have been meeting at that TP for quite awhile now, not just last Sunday -- it wasn't like this came out of the blue. And that day in particular, hard to miss 200 bikers glaring at each other.

The franchise is already toast, of course. Hooters will move in or start another restaurant to fill the gap, and a few years from now a new Twin Peaks will open somewhere else in Waco.

... the nine killed were all members of biker gangs.


Also:

“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,” Sgt. Swanton said.

Kinda reminds me of the incident at the McDonalds in College Station. Lawsuits to follow, I'm sure.
