Bandidos v. Cossacks: Was the Texas biker brawl over territory?

[hack89]

It boils down to territory, said the informant, who goes by the name "Charles Falco."

"The Bandidos are the biggest motorcycle gang in Texas, and they don't allow other motorcycle gangs to enter that state. They will allow other motorcycles clubs to exist, but they're not allowed to wear that state bottom rocker. If they do, they face the onslaught of the Bandidos," Falco told CNN's Sara Sidner.

The bottom rocker refers to a state name on the back of a biker's vest. According to Falco, it can indicate where someone is from, as well as claim territory for that club.

"The Cossacks decided that they were big enough now to go ahead and wear the Texas bottom rocker, and basically tell the Bandidos that they're ready for war," he said.

Some interesting background on the biker gang shoot out.

1. Wow. That Vagos footage shows the Fair Oaks/Marengo exit in Pasadena, CA

off the 210 freeway, I think it is.

Scary. I guess that Twin Peaks Texas restaurant could have asked them not to wear their biker colors, but they didn't do that, big mistake.

Ack, do not want.
