Apparently two biker gangs met at Twin Peaks in Waco, one thing led to another, 9 or so are currently dead after the gunfight.

Edit - Three gangs, not two

And that's with law enforcement already on site. They are not happy with Twin Peaks management.

LEO should've locked down the area and let them keep shooting each other.

They've got a big lawsuit coming.

Also reason #500,001 why Waco is the worst place ever.

I bought my M&P Shield at the Cabela's right across the parking lot from there a few weeks ago.

I'm guessing that the Twin Peaks in Waco won't be around much longer.

All dead are from the rival gangs, so I heard.

Why was LEO on site already and why would management be responsible for anything ?

He's been retired for a few years now so probably not. I need to call him later and I'll ask him about it.

From what I understand, Twin Peaks notified WPD it was getting out of hand and it seems like WPD didn't want to get into a firefight.

Police were there from the start. The bikers didn't care that there was already a heavy police presence.

Things had been getting worse for several weeks for the Thursday night "bikers night" at Twin Peaks, police had asked them to curtail the event but Twin Peaks refused.

Is it every gang for itself or do these guys team up sometimes? Not specifically referring to this incident.

Haven't stayed up on gang tactics since my Hell's Angels day.

Exactly who thought this was a good idea?

Thanks. I asked before reading the article. Sorry.

Those Bandidos are no joke. They are as violent as any gang out there and they have some serious respect among Motorcycle Clubs.

So far they're saying all the dead and wounded are biker gang members.

If that's true let's let em do it again next Sunday.

It was on facebook. I can't vouch for the authenticity.

I've heard the opposite. Waco PD SWAT and DPS were on scene and sounds like they shot at least one of the bikers.

If you've seen the numbers of bikers detained on scene, that didn't happen without large numbers of police already on scene. And the numbers dead would have likely been more than 10 had police not been on location. However, those bikers gave absolutely zero ****s and rumbled anyway.

Just got off the phone with my dad. He said Swanton is a good guy and is definitely doing the right thing by calling out Twin Peaks for not curtailing the biker stuff. Said he also wouldn't be surprised if it turns out the Twin Peaks is being funded by the Banditos. He said they spent a lot of time trying to run them out of Bell County, and they were mostly running drugs and prostitution.

Is it bad that I want some really cold beer and hot wings, served to me by a girl in a skimpy outfit after reading this? Just not from anywhere around Waco....
