Shooting Leaves 9 Dead In Waco
[su_publirb]
Three rival motorcycle gangs had a shootout at Waco restaurant.
Waco police Sunday afternoon, assisted by Department of Public Safety troopers, police officers from several cities and deputies from the McLennan County Sheriff’s Office were surrounding the Twin Peaks Restaurant, in the Central Texas Market Place after several people were reported shot during a rival motorcycle gang fight, Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said.
Police and troopers were in the parking lot trying to secure the area and protect citizens when a fight broke out inside the restaurant and spilled into the parking lot.
Swanton said the fight quickly escalated from fists and feet to chains, clubs and knives, then to gunfire.
Gang members were shooting at each other and officers at the scene fired their weapons, as well, Swanton said.

Texas…
What a shocker.
Good thing they have open carry laws, cause this sort of thing would never……….
Oh never mind.
whatthe46 May 17th, 2015 at 5:43 pm
don’t think they can charge anyone with murder, considering they were all just defending themselves right? the wild wild west. isn’t this exactly what texas wanted?

The new laws go into effect in January, I can hardly wait. It will be so exciting.

Just make sure you carry your phone everywhere with you and take videos to show us what chaos looks like.

More white criminals.

Racist!

that’s me.

White-on-white violence. A couple of reports that some of those involved had white supremacist tattoos.
labman57 May 17th, 2015 at 6:25 pm
Hey Texas, how are those lenient gun possession laws working for ya?
whatthe46 May 17th, 2015 at 6:26 pm
just fine. its what they wanted. all of them were just protecting themselves. only 9 died. geez.
Larry Schmitt May 17th, 2015 at 6:27 pm
And it’s not like it’s people anyone cared about anyway.
whatthe46 May 17th, 2015 at 6:29 pm
some of the bikers came in from CA for this fight.
Larry Schmitt May 17th, 2015 at 6:49 pm
Everyone has to have a hobby.
NW10 May 17th, 2015 at 6:27 pm
And are these the same type yahoos who are going to be standing up against the military when Jade Helm 15 kicks off?
Carla Akins May 17th, 2015 at 6:55 pm
These yahoo’s probably understand that’s just a conspiracy. If they were that stupid, they’d have been dead long ago.
Larry Schmitt May 17th, 2015 at 6:56 pm
They’re just stupid enough to guarantee Alex Jones a healthy income.
greenfloyd May 18th, 2015 at 7:14 am
Not unless it interfers with meth production/distribution… I would not be surprised if this was about, at least in part, which gang controls the market in various local areas.

‘Murica.
whatthe46 May 17th, 2015 at 6:38 pm
texas is so bassackwards.
Larry Schmitt May 17th, 2015 at 6:55 pm
They only care about people until they’re born. After that, you’re on your own.

OK Corral…
Scott Thorsen May 17th, 2015 at 7:13 pm
At least they smart enough to use guns. No laws were broken and no charges will be filed.
whatthe46 May 17th, 2015 at 7:40 pm
only the ones that used knives are in trouble. certain knives are against the law carry in public.

Texas is the wild wild west wrapped up in one big state. Gun toting pistol packing cretins who love a good shootout to stimulate their souls….
@HawaiianTater May 17th, 2015 at 8:20 pm
You know what the good thing is about all these shootings in Texas?
Fewer Texans.
Um Cara May 18th, 2015 at 7:25 am
Disgusting, hateful comment. Shame on you and those who liked such an illiberal comment.
@HawaiianTater May 18th, 2015 at 8:03 am
Clearly you’re not a fan of George Carlin. It was just an alteration of one of his jokes.
“You know what the good thing is about all those executions in Texas? Fewer Texans.” -Carlin
You should work on your sense of humor.
Um Cara May 18th, 2015 at 1:38 pm
“You should work on your sense of humor.”
Nah, I’d prefer not to find the death of my fellow man to be humorous. But don’t let me stop more of your homages to Carlin’s joke. You going to repurpose your funny to Ferguson next?
@HawaiianTater May 18th, 2015 at 1:46 pm
It’s sad when people live their lives taking everything so seriously. Lighten up and take the stick out of your ass. You’ll thank me for it later.
Or you’ll continue walking around with a stick up your ass. *shrugs* It’s no matter to me either way.
Chinese Democracy May 18th, 2015 at 2:12 pm
lol… I know right? People from Texas are very touchy .. heres my observation. Texans are so impressed with Texas.. they never leave Texas
Um Cara May 18th, 2015 at 2:48 pm
Why not make more of your funnies instead of insulting me? Maybe I’ll find the humor in some other recent deaths of my fellow man. *shrugs* I hope not, but I suppose it’s possible.
@HawaiianTater May 18th, 2015 at 2:55 pm
I wasn’t insulting you. Nor do I find humor in the death of my fellow man.
You really don’t understand how comedy works, do you? I’m genuinely not trying to be a dick here. I just don’t think you get it.
Um Cara May 18th, 2015 at 3:11 pm
Saying I have a stick up my ass was a compliment? LOL – I’d say you are the one w limited understanding.
But keep working on your comedy routine, you could do nothing but improve. Stick to self deprecating humor until you get your legs under you. People respond to that better. Maybe something about mirrored shades or the fecal bacteria teaming in your beard?
@HawaiianTater May 18th, 2015 at 3:34 pm
It wasn’t an insult or a compliment. It was an observation.
There is nothing wrong with self deprecating humor either. That’s the good thing about comedy. Nothing is out of bounds. There are no lines. You either learn how to laugh at life or you walk around with a stick up your butt. There is no in-between.
Um Cara May 18th, 2015 at 3:43 pm
Erm.. There is almost always “in between”. Recognition of that is one of the things that separates libs from the tee peeps.
@HawaiianTater May 18th, 2015 at 4:00 pm
There is no in-between when it comes to comedy. Either everything is okay to joke about or nothing is. Once you allow that first line to be drawn, the lines never stop and there isn’t anything you can joke about anymore. It’s an all or nothing situation.
Um Cara May 18th, 2015 at 4:38 pm
It’s an all or nothing situation.
When you attend the funeral of your best friend’s mother, do try to avoid making a funny about how bloated her body was by the time someone stopped by to check up on her after not hearing from her for a few days. It may seem funny to you, I get that, but seriously – I doubt you could pull it off. Blame it on your friend’s family’s ass sticks, or whatever, but use other material to lighten the mood.
@HawaiianTater May 18th, 2015 at 4:57 pm
This is exactly my point about you not getting comedy. What you’re describing is being a dick and it’s not something I condone. What you need to learn is the difference between the two.
Um Cara May 18th, 2015 at 5:16 pm
Or you lack the genius of Carlin and are instead making bloated dead mother jokes and blaming him for it.
Chinese Democracy May 18th, 2015 at 2:14 pm
can’t blame people for making fun of Texas.. heres one , everything in Texas is bigger including idiots.
whatthe46 May 18th, 2015 at 2:21 pm
lol
Um Cara May 18th, 2015 at 2:53 pm
I’m not blaming people for making fun of Texas, Andy. Obviously it is human nature for us to denigrate others in order to make us feel better about ourselves. Personally I draw the line at giggles over an event just hours earlier w dozens shot and many killed.
Chinese Democracy May 18th, 2015 at 3:41 pm
I see your point .. what I meant by making fun of texas is… the gov is worried about a US Gov take over etc etc etc
JimmyPete May 17th, 2015 at 10:14 pm
Texas is nuts, is Texas the future of this country?
whatthe46 May 17th, 2015 at 10:26 pm
too many sane people to let that happen.
greenfloyd May 18th, 2015 at 8:13 am
Gang warfare, past, present and yes future. This is nothing new in America, home of the today’s prolific Gangsta-culture mentality and economics.
Chinese Democracy May 18th, 2015 at 2:10 pm
thankfully no.. Texans think Texas is its own country
Chinese Democracy May 18th, 2015 at 2:12 am
hmmm
Chinese Democracy May 18th, 2015 at 2:12 am

Are we sure this wasn’t a skinhead biker open carry rally that got out of hand?
Um Cara May 18th, 2015 at 6:26 pm
“Time and place.”
Exactly.
“Entirely appropriate…”
We disagree.
I think we’ve both fleshed out our positions, with a reasonable amount of respect. So later Tater, have a good week.
@HawaiianTater May 18th, 2015 at 6:27 pm
Fair enough. You have a groovy day. No hard feelings.
@HawaiianTater May 18th, 2015 at 6:36 pm
Even though we disagreed, I appreciated your respectful discussion. I hope I showed the same respect.
Andres Herrera May 19th, 2015 at 2:01 pm
I’m surprised the pigs weren’t holding these terrorists hands.
