Which… that’s a lot of god damn weapons right there. A fuck ton. A fucking thousand of ’em.
On Sunday, we brought you the news of a three-gang shootout in Waco, Texas that left nine people dead.
Police are still clearing up the scene and reconstructing the narrative of what happened, and the story, as crazy as it already fucking was, is only getting more shit fucking insane. From The Guardian:
Gang members rushed to get rid of their weapons, he said, as gunfire erupted and police moved in to the Twin Peaks restaurant in the south of the city last Sunday.
They were found “stuffed in toilets and hidden under seats,” he said. One firearm was discovered in a bag of tortilla chips, while a knife was located in a bag of flour. Brass knuckles, bats and chains were also unearthed.
[Waco police Sgt. W.P] Swanton said that the inside of Twin Peaks was a “pretty nasty scene” with “blood spatter everywhere”, especially in the bathroom.
Included in those thousand weapons was an AK-47. A lot of real shit was there. A thousand weapons. Damn.
Over 170 people at the scene were arrested on “murder-related” charges, with everyone’s bail set at over a million dollars.
The groups were originally meeting to amicably discuss turf boundaries, but an incident in the parking lot may have set everything off. From the Tribune Live:
One man was injured when a vehicle rolled over his foot. That caused a dispute that continued inside the restaurant, where fighting and then shooting began, before the melee spilled back outside, Swanton said.
It was not clear which gang was responsible for running over the biker’s foot or which gang the aggrieved biker belonged to.
Don’t fuck with biker gangs.
