Waco Texas On Lockdown

JONJO THE MISER

As you may of heard a big biker fight broke out between 200 bikers in Waco yesterday leaving 9 dead.
The whole town had to be shut down over night including a lockdown of the local hospital where the injured or dead were taken.
Reports say thousands of more bikers are on the way to Waco to avenge the killings of some of there brothers.
Looks like all hell is going to beak loose there in the next few days with the possibility of the national guard being called in.

Texas is on lock down after a biker gang shootout.

Waco is open for business as usual this morning according to CNN!! 'Situation contained' is what they are reporting...

The only stores closed are those on the south side of one mall! Hardly a lock down.

Had to laugh when the police chief said it was the worst crime scene he has seem in 35 years on the job.
What about the 76 people who burned to death in the waco siege for which law enforcement were responsible for.

Don't the A-Team usually sort this kind of thing out?

Hang on I thought more guns solve gun crime ? Especially in Texas...

Biker gangs - Great bunch of lads.

Some family friends of ours live in Waco. It doesn't need this, especially after its reputation was already tarnished after what the ATF did 20 years ago.

Nope, usually the ATF mess it up.


This is the last ring Waco needs. Probably still trying to move in from the past.

He could have transferred after that incident.

Well, according to people like Michael Graham, the problem is that there still aren't enough guns, so the solution is for everyone to arm themselves. Once every single person, including the children, are armed, there will be a state of perfect equilibrium and any act of gun violence will be impossible.
So, more guns are the only answer. But then again, MG used to be a standup com median, so that tells us how serious he is. He even provoked Michael D into calling him a wanker.
But what can one say about this, except "pew, pew, pew, 'murica!"

In fairness, no one argues for criminal ownership of guns. It'll be interesting to see exactly how many of the firearms used in the shooting were legally owned by criminal biker gangs.

I'd guess zero.

Australia has cured its bikers...they get busted just for wearing colours or associating together..they're not happy bikers. Some say it's a bit harsh, but Aussie police say it's a Triumph and harley an over the top response.

I'd say 8 years of a monkey in Crawford trumps any crime to have forgone.

I'll wait for the movie.

Reddit mentioned how more bikers were on their way from Austin. Did anything more happen with that?

How will they live without wendys

I blame the restaurant for tempting them in from all corners of the state with their moreish yet reasonably priced fried chicken specials.

I think your feeling is correct.

9 dead 18 injured. All bikers

Supposedly they fired on cops. Yet not one cop even reported injured.

Police say over 100 weapons recovered. I sure that tests need to be carried out. But will be interesting to see if they produce photos of the weapons gathered.

My guess is that most of the deaths will be the result of police fire.

Media seem to have adopted a non investigative attitude here. Reports all seem to refer to how bad these biker gangs are.

If this was a shoot up of bloods and crips gang members fighting in South Central the media would be rightly covering it differently.

In the current climate of media sensitivity to police brutality towards minorities there would be more critical and investigative journalism. But biker gangs are clearly bad guys, they don't confirm to society, and they are racists. So the attitude is **** em.

Local Police boss man Mungo Squarejaw, or whatever his name is, was on the news yesterday - 100 weapons recovered...ranging from brass knuckles.. to erm, 1 firearm....

One firearm...

Must have been some shoot-out...what did they do, take turns using it?

I was just thinking, is Waco part of the etymology of wacko?

It seems a seriously dodgy place.

In 1916, many townspeople gleefully took part in the gruesome systematic lynching of a mentally subnormal black man who had been convicted of murder. They hung him, shot him, burned him and dismembered him, all in full view of children and press cameras. Just to make sure, like.

Read all about it here

Then 22 years ago there was the Branch Davidian siege with dozens of people killed.

Now this.

Is there ANYTHING to recommend that benighted cess pool of a town? Seems to me like the sort of place to flyover. Preferably at high altitude.
