Real Life Sons Of Anarchy - Nine Dead, 192 Arrested and Charged After Rival Bike Gangs Have Shootout At Texas Bar

WACO: (May 17, 2015) Rival motorcycle gangs turned a local restaurant into a shooting gallery Sunday afternoon and when the gunfire was over, nine people were dead and 18 were injured.

Early Monday, law enforcement had turned their attention to the risk of additional bike gang members looking to retaliate, and initiate further violence in the Waco area.

Sunday afternoon, Waco Police, 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 initially said three gangs were involved, but later said factions from at least five gangs took part in the melee.

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.

Other patrons in Twin Peaks and some employees locked themselves in a freezer to escape the fight.

The scene at the Market Place between Don Carlos and Twin Peaks was absolute chaos, Swanton said.

“It is one of the most violent scene I’ve seen in my 34 years as a police officer in Waco,” Swanton said.

Swanton said officers recovered more than 100 weapons from the scene and there were several vehicles that had bullet holes in them.

Wiiiilllddddddd stuff in Texas this weekend. 9 dead, 18 injured, ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY TWO arrested and charged for a massive shootout in broad daylight leaving bodies everywhere. Cops prepared for members from all around the country to come in for retribution. Literally real life Sons of Anarchy shit going down at “Twin Peaks” which I guess is basically just a Hooters rip off. The Diosa of the Texas biker gangs.

Crazy. I guess I didn’t realize how accurate Sons was, thought it was just some over the top Kurt Sutter orgasm of blood gore and violence. Turns out the Biker Gang mafia shit is as real life as it gets.

So what do you think happened? Brown was trying to step in on the drug trade? Black hijacked one of the trucks on a middle of the night delivery run? Triads looking for revenge for a brutal murder of one of their own in jail? The Irish upset with a weapons shipment?

Oh. Classic.

Assuming the leader of the club will realize things have gone too far and hop on his dad’s old restored bike and drive headfirst into a mack truck.
