Colors includes anything that would identify what "club" they are in, if any. Essentially they are now working to blend in with the rest of society to move forward with retaliation.VMI77 wrote:Do colors include jackets?TVGuy wrote:I believe the bikers have now removed their colors to try and go undetected.VMI77 wrote:Well, the bikers wear uniforms too, so maybe the police should return the favor?

Re: Shooting at Twin Peaks in Waco
That order to kill is bogus.
Also the main beef has been between Cossaks and Banditos has been going on for over a year.
The meeting was to squash the differences.
The cops never fired a shot
scimitars are a sister group to the cossaks
7 cossaks dead
2 banditos
The cossaks were ambushed in the parking lot
I am not affiliated with either club but I have known 1 of the dead for nearly 15 years through work. And 2 others for over 10 years. Met them before they joined the club.
About 90% of what the media is saying either speculation or hog wash.

Re: Shooting at Twin Peaks in Waco
I trust my source regarding the order to kill until a more reliable source comes along.
Looks like franchisee lost their franchise over this.

WACO (May 18, 2015) The Twin Peaks corporate office Monday revoked the franchise of the Waco restaurant where a shootout between rival biker gangs Sunday left nine dead, 18 injured and more than 165 in custody.
“We are in the people business and the safety of the employees and guests in our restaurants is priority one,” the company 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,” the statement said.
Police have arrested and jailed more than 165 members of the rival motorcycle gangs and were on the watch for any more violence Monday morning after nine people died in a Sunday afternoon shooting at at the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco.

WACO, Texas — Police were on alert Monday for any retaliatory attacks after a chaotic shootout between rival biker gangs left nine people dead and at least 18 more wounded outside a Texas restaurant.
Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said authorities had received threats against law enforcement "throughout the night" from biker groups and stood ready to confront any more violence resulting from Sunday's gunfire.
"We have a contingency plan to deal with those individuals if they try to cause trouble here," Swanton said at a news conference.

Re: Shooting at Twin Peaks in Waco
Bikers not in colors blending into the public at large? Hmmm...how does one blend the Harley, all the chains, the nasty jeans, and the need for a shave and a haircut like Bigfoot into ordinary crowds? Oh wait...they could paint bulls eyes on their backs.
I suggest the Bloomberg response here: ban all Harley Davidson motorcycles. Can you just envision the bikers riding a swarm of Vespa scooters?
PD spokesman just acknowledged the threat against "uniforms" in Waco. He said they have deployed appropriately.

I guess I am just weird or something, I never have had a complaint about Hooters food. Burgers are OK and I really like the wings. Standard Glock sights are my favorite which from what I gather makes me weird too.Dave2 wrote:Didn't really care for their wings, either.Syntyr wrote:Wow drove by this place on the way out of town at 11:00 am this morning, headed back to Houston.

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.
Chance favors the prepared. Making good people helpless doesn't make bad people harmless.
There is no safety in denial. When seconds count the Police are only minutes away.
Sometimes I really wish a lawyer would chime in and clear things up. Do we have any lawyers on this forum?

Re: Shooting at Twin Peaks in Waco
The standard/stock Glock sights are just fine. I also like them. There are, however, better sights available that do work better for different circumstances.

Re: Shooting at Twin Peaks in Waco
What's up with the manager of TP.
Was he intimidated into welcoming the motorcycle thugs or is he a member or a past member or related in some way to these criminals?
Anyone know?
Thanks!
