    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.

    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.

    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.

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