170 Arrested In Waco Shootout
[su_publirb]
Police have arrested 170 gang members in the Waco shoot out at Twin Peaks restaurant.
The shootout between rival gang members and police came as at least five groups gathered around noon Sunday at the restaurant right off Interstate-35. All nine men killed were members of the two main rival groups, the Bandidos and the Cossacks, authorities have said.
Police spokesman Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said authorities are still investigating and aren’t sure yet whether additional charges, such as murder or attempted murder, will come.

I thought it was 195.

I think 170 is the number of people that are actually going through the whole process of booking and going to jail. Some may have been detained and released.

192 individuals will be released. they won’t know who to charge with what and it’s their own damn fault. and this fight isn’t even over. they will plan another one to get revenge. only this time, bystanders will be killed in the process because the cops didn’t stop this one.

Reports have it the whole fight started when one gang sided with Bristol Palin’s side, and the other stood with Dakota.

I heard (I don’t follow much about gangs) that the Bandidos were fighting to remain in control of Texas, who the hell wanted to fight over Texas?

With the war in Texas winding down, power vacuums are being created, groups of bikers not unlike isis are trying to fill that void.

“…Patrick Swanton said authorities are still investigating and aren’t sure yet whether additional charges, such as murder or attempted murder, will come.” the defense is going to have a field day with this fiasco. watch all of them walk.

Where were all the patriotic good guys w/guns who could have/should have shut this thing down in seconds? Clearly that “system” failed miserably, debunking the myth that an armed society is a polite society. Did these gangs politely shoot each other? It would not appear so.

It’s early, the facts need to be brought out, but I have a feeling that this may turn out to be another police overstep and more media sensationalism.
The gist of my thought is, of the 170 arrested, don’t be surprised if charges are dropped for 168 of them.
