9 Dead. 18 Injured. All of these
casualties were complicit in the skirmish. Bullet holes littered all
over. A good percentage of them issued from Police firearms.
The amusing thing is, the police heard
about the gathering of rival 1%er gangs at this Twin Peaks location.
They set up around it, cordoned off the area. The bikers knew they
were there. NFG. No Fucks Given. They got into it. It escalated very
fast, from “fists and boots, to clubs and knives, to guns.” The
police heard shots fired and shot back. Doesn't appear that the
bikers shot at the police at all, just each other. More kept pouring
in to the area over the afternoon, getting detained on access roads
and in front of Cabela's. A right fuckin' mess, this.
I'm seeing that 5 biker gangs were
involved. Vacqueros, Valerosos, Cossacks, Scimitars confirmed. Don't know who
else yet. Hospitals are locked down. Waco is crawling with Troopers,
Sheriff's Deputies, city cops, FBI. I wouldn't be surprised if they
got ATF in there too.
My thoughts are that this is kicking
off a biker war with some long term ramifications. I don't know what
kind of relations these groups have with other criminal organizations
(prison gangs, cartels, etc.) but I'm worried they will be calling in
all allies. Seems like from past examples of biker wars, they don't
tend to spill over into other “industries.” At the same time this
is Texas, 2015. The cartels have a stake here. La Eme. ABT. Historically
biker gangs make excellent mass transport contractors for illicit
goods like hot guns and meth. I'm curious, and don't know enough
about it.
Was visiting with my roommate about things. He's a bit of a self taught expert on conspiracy culture. His bet
is that Alex Jones is going to see this as a deliberately planned
pretext for the Feds to launch Jade Helm into a real martial law
umbrella over the state of Texas.
My roommate just informed me
police scanners are available as public streams over the great
interweb. I told him I wanted to know what McLennan County dispatch
is chattering about. Tho scanner streams for Waco are down tonight,
but not McGregor or Lorena (porque?). Apparently overnight staffs in
some stores in the area are being told not to come to work.
Gonna be a weird night for Waco.
