It was at Twin Peaks, which is like Hooters with less clothes and an outdoorsy theme. Sounds like prime biker gang territory.

5/17/2015 8:36:16 PM

I love Twin Peaks. best sports bar in town

5/17/2015 8:39:52 PM

Never mind this was some good old fashioned white on white crime

5/17/2015 8:40:20 PM

I like the huge beer thermometer they have prominently displayed to prove that your draft beer is 29 degrees.

5/17/2015 8:41:35 PM

Old white guys fighting at a chain restaurant is the reality of 2015.

5/17/2015 8:42:59 PM

ours got down to 26.2 last week. too cold and I hate slush at the top of my beer

but at least the server was insanely hot

5/17/2015 8:43:16 PM

Where are the white leaders? When is gwb or rick perry or ted cruz gonna come out and denounce this kind of behavior in the white community?

5/17/2015 8:49:31 PM

GWBs ranch isn't too far from there he may have been involved

5/17/2015 8:55:56 PM

The crow flies straaaaaaaaaaaaaaaight

5/17/2015 9:48:38 PM

The photos I saw involved so many fat necked dudes it was alittle sad.

5/17/2015 10:22:17 PM

Do we know these were 5 different white biker gangs? I'd imagine at least one hispanic gang since we're talking about Texas here.

5/17/2015 10:33:41 PM

The police are blaming the restaurants for not doing more to prevent this namely denying entrance to bikers.

192 people arrested? Wow. That is a lot of people involved in what must have been a biker brawl.


also, lol @ describing them as a group vs. a gang

5/18/2015 9:06:42 AM

I wonder how many of the bikers were killed by cops instead of by rival MCs.

[Edited on May 18, 2015 at 9:55 AM. Reason : and LOL at the "most violent crime scene" statement. The FBI killed dozens there two decades ago]

5/18/2015 9:47:44 AM

apparently the Banditos are an international crime organization with 2500 members!!!!

WTF

Biker gangs are kinda crazy, or at least used to be. I used to watch some tv show that talked about all the different gangs...

One time when I was coming back from Jackonsville, NC, a biker gang passed me on the highway. There was about 30 of them, and they were in a very tight formation of two rows. As they passed me, one would then swerve in front of me, then the other, then the next in line would do the same. They all had on their jackets, and lots of them had bats and clubs attached to their bikes. It was a little scary. I can't remember who the gang was, I'm thinking the Mongrols or the Pagans... or maybe the Outlaws??? I don't remember.

5/18/2015 11:37:00 AM

yet another great example of thuggery

which is clearly a racist term...

5/18/2015 11:41:15 AM

Apparently most of the dead were killed by police.

5/18/2015 11:46:27 AM

interesting I saw this right after I was reading about the new Mad Max Movie

5/18/2015 12:10:12 PM

Interesting I saw this right after I've (finally) started watching Sons of Anarchy

while the term isn't racist in and of itself, and some people use it without any reference to race, some people clearly use it as a racist term. if you don't understand that, you're clearly ignorant.

but good job on using the racecard and trying to make this about race. that says a lot about you.

let's not fight guys

you're both right, it isn't a racial term in itself but is used excessively by racist folks

5/18/2015 12:25:01 PM

...but we are against those thugs, thugs, thugs, thugs, thugs.

Reading online comments of people trying to say biker gangs are not "gangs" has been fun this morning.

5/19/2015 9:47:19 AM

gangs typically ride in cars. it's the extra two wheels that makes all the difference.

5/19/2015 9:55:09 AM

twitter people are using the "no big deal"-ness of this event to contrast against the reaction to black "rioting", but more people were shot in Chicago this weekend and it got even less coverage

5/19/2015 9:56:57 AM

poor Chicago.

[Edited on May 19, 2015 at 10:00 AM. Reason : CHITOWN!]

5/19/2015 9:59:30 AM

^^^^

Haha, sure not everyone who rides motorcycles in a group is a gang, but if you carry weapons around with you and get into fights with other groups, you're probably in a gang.

5/19/2015 10:07:53 AM

If you wear a jacket with a gang name on the back, and frequently travel and congregate with a large number of other guys that wear a jacket with a gang name on the back, then you're probably in a gang.

[Edited on May 19, 2015 at 10:16 AM. Reason : and the violence and organized criminal activity]

"A lot of these guys are ex-vets—they’re war vets. Most of these biker gangs were created by war vets in Vietnam, World War II, and now Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s attractive to the anti-social war vet. Your normal war vet is a hero, and comes home a pro-social person. But your anti-social Caucasian war vet is attracted to these biker gangs, and so a lot of these guys are very highly skilled with weapons."

where is the actual video?

5/21/2015 10:15:29 AM

only 5 out of 9. hmm...not bad!

5/21/2015 3:14:03 PM

would love to know how many of the 9 were killed by cops and if those guys deserved it

It now appears that this was a police massacre, or at best a sting operation that went horribly wrong. All of the dead were killed by police weapons, and most of the arrests with $1mil bonds appear to be innocent bystanders.

Police are in massive cover-up mode, refusing to release even basic arrest reports to news media. Lawsuits incoming.

A botched government raid and coverup? In Waco?!
