“These guys become very violent to each other very quickly over nothing”

"Parking dispute may have lit fuse in Waco biker shootout." 

An argument over a restaurant parking spot may have ignited the horrific shootout between rival motorcycle gangs that killed nine, wounded 18 and led to the arrests of 170 bikers, police said Monday.

Gang tensions over turf, respect and statewide power have been boiling for months, police said, so when two skirmishes erupted Sunday in the parking lot and in the restroom of the Twin Peaks restaurant along Interstate 35 where 200 bikers met, the disputes quickly escalated into carnage. Investigators are still trying to piece together what happened... (read more)

"Organized crime charges filed against 170 motorcycle gang members after Texas shootout"

Approximately 170 members of rival motorcycle gangs were charged with engaging in organized crime Monday, a day after nine people were killed and 18 others injured in a shootout at a Texas restaurant.

A Waco judge set bond at $1 million for many of the suspects. McLennan County Justice of the Peace W.H. Peterson defended the high amount, citing the violence that quickly unfolded in a shopping market busy with a lunchtime crowd.

"We have nine people dead, because these people wanted to come down and what? Drink? Party?" Peterson said. "I thought [$1 million] was appropriate."

OMG

Outlaw motorcycle gangs. This is a PDF for a Los Angeles policeman's booklet about the 1% of motorcyclists that are gang members and how to identify them. What to do. Things to avoid. Their facts and figures. I think I saw 2003 but it appears throughout to be older than that.

Those are the good guys. The PDF booklet helps police officers profile. So even if a gang's insignia is a Christian type cross (even of bones) and their mission statement says they must go to their church, their patch still says 1% and that means they are differentiating themselves from the noncriminal herd.

But it is still funny because long-haired threatening-looking bikers contemplative sitting in an art museum runs counter to stereotype.

At the end there is an address for tips and suggestions. Let the first suggestion we make be to draw up criminal charges for the egregious grammar. When it is worse than my own, when even I notice how bad, it is sunk to the level of criminal. See for yourself, it's all over. I'm embarrassed.
