Officials find 318 weapons, describe surreal scene inside Twin Peaks restaurant

Last edited Wed May 20, 2015, 07:59 PM - Edit history (1)

Nearly 72 hours after a shootout erupted at Twin Peaks, killing nine people and injuring another 18, officials have found 1,000 weapons tucked into kitchen areas, vehicles and toilets.

Weapons were hidden between sacks of flour and bags of tortilla chips, Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said. They were in vehicles, tucked in benches, strewn across the floor and stuffed in toilets.

Swanton said officials found pocket knives, assault knives, batons, an AK-47 and body armor while combing through the scene, including the parking lot and suspects’ vehicles. He believes the majority of those were hidden or discarded during or after the melee. It was not immediately clear Wednesday where officials found the AK-47.

Among the weapons and blood spatters were half-eaten burgers, beer bottles covered in gang symbol coozies and half-drunk margaritas.

Correction: The number of weapons found stands at 318.

100 weapons for 170 of these assholes was way too low. Scum of the earth. Period.

All those goons sitting around outside in the parking lot with their 'Who, me? I'm innocent, see I'm unarmed! I know nothing!' routine are such practiced liars and crooks. They give true meaning to the term, 'bad actors.'

They would have gotten different treatment if they'd not been such cowards without their nasty little toys. Oh, but I'm sure they thought they were all so clever, though! Lock 'em all up, they're a crime scene in process.

TT, what did that SFB Abbott say about this event? A friend checking the news, said the newz said that SFB thought MOAR GUNZ was the answer! That friend and my bagger sister are NOW firmly against OC.

The law abiding folks are denied the vote, but since SFB thinks MOAR GUNZ is the answer and OC is protecting Freedumbs, bet these goons voted for him. At the rate it's going, all the nasty biz the goons do, will be legal.

Having known two girls who were kidnapped off the street and gang raped by these guys for a week, because they're 'such badasses' and having been threatened with the same where I worked the evening shift, so that I worked until the next morning as they waited for me to leave, I can't say anything but how much I loathe and despise every single one of them.

They can all go hang, buncha effing terrorists.
