So the police in Texas have said that they are facing serious threats from the

[malaise]

gangs involved in the shoot out yesterday. How the M$Greedia covering yesterday or these threats.
The mall is closed and so is the restaurant...for the rest of the week.

Any outcry from local businessmen yet...you know a la Baltimore????

All the same, police consider them to be more threatening than their small numbers might suggest. About 10 percent of jurisdictions said they considered the motorcycle gangs a serious threat.

Cook thinks that law enforcement should be more concerned. "I think a lot of people just don’t take these guys seriously," he says. "They just look at them and say they’re bikers and they ride motorcycles and they’re tattooed and they’re dirty, and that’s the end of it."

But he calls them domestic terrorists. "They can pretend like they’re these fraternal organizations," he said. "I can’t tell you the last time the Kiwanis and the Shriners had a shootout at a public venue."

The Department of Justice portrays the gangs as the Mafia on motorcycles, saying they traffic in cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription drugs: in Indianapolis in 2013, federal agents arrested 42 members of the Outlaws gang on charges that included drug trafficking, extortion, and money laundering.

1. I am not sure how the Waco problem and Baltimore are alike except lives have been lost in each place

2. I have no use for them at all

them being the gangsters on motorcycles. Years ago, back in the early '70s, many all my friends at the time all of a sudden bought and started riding Harley Davidsons. Needless to say I slowly gravitated away from that crew of friends as I was a witness to the changes they went through. All of them were anti gunners prior too but it wasn't very long until they started buying guns and waving them around like it was an aphrodisiac for them or something.
I spent 15 months sleeping with a weapon due to my service in 'Nam, the hell with that behavior here in the states. Fuck that noise I want no part of it.

3. The organized gangs are nothing but animals on two wheels

They are among the worst scum of humankind as I learned from some dealing with them back in the 80's. I sincerely hope only the bikers got killed/wounded in Waco. I've always considered them a dangerous threat and whenever possible avoided places where they congregate. I wouldn't go to Sturgis this summer for anything.

4. When everybody has a gun, fights escalate rapidly.

5. 1% MCs are organized criminal enterprises. They commit crimes as a way of life.
