9 dead and a "flexible" 170 arrested. Dead belong to the gangs the Cossacks and the Bandidos, but at least 3 other biker gangs (Scimitars, Vaqueros unnamed 3rd gang) were on site and are among the arrested.

Call has gone out for out of state charters of these gangs to come to Texas.

For the record the Cossacks were also involved in a shoot out similar to this in Reno several years back, at the Nugget casino.

They should film it and release a box office video. We haven't had a good western movie in 30 years and this is basically the modern western.

Grown men joining gangs and killing each other. Darwinism on display.

I say let them shoot it out. Fewer to put in prison.

Yep. Couldn't agree more.
What a waste of public resources to keep them in prison and/or provide medical care for the injured.


Supposedly because one gang felt disrespected because the other put a patch of the state of Texas on the bottom of their jackets.

They're like a couple of high school girls getting into it because they're wearing the same dress to prom.

But with guns and ammo.

I don't know, sounds kind of awesome. Other than the killing each other part.

This isn't even about controlling drug territory?

These guys are playing gangster?

Where's Dutch when someone really needs a lecture on bettering himself?

These are grown men, mostly over 40 who have decided to join an organization, don a costume with patches and travel in a pack, all for the purpose to defend a self-imposed, theoretical, "territorial map."

If any of you folks still think humans are rational beings, simply digest the above....

Tons of articles online comparing this to Ferguson and Baltimore. How it is another sign of systemic racism because the national guard was not called out. How this plays into the white on white crime and the medias refusal to investigate that.

Interesting, I've seen multiple articles directly about white on white crime and white gangs ruining white neighborhoods. They stress white all the time in articles about this.

You guys don't understand. It wasn't the bikers that did this... the police department started the fight.
