When I hear the name Waco, I think Whacko, because that’s what it sort of sounds like, and I enjoy silly puns. Also because I remember David Koresh and the Branch Dravidians, who maybe all died because they were crazy, and maybe all died because the Clinton administration got a bit heavy handed, but even if they didn’t all die because they were crazy, they were all crazy. Maybe not the kids. Yet.
Obviously, not as threatening as Eric Garner
But, still, you can’t blame the town for that.
Now, there has been another extreme violent incident, with more than a slight element of crazy involved.
Yesterday afternoon, two, or three, or maybe five different motorcycle gangs had a bit of a disagreement, and at least two of them were the Cossacks and the Bandidos but we don’t know the names of the other ones because American journalism sucks.
It sounds a bit like the plot from Warriors.
According to one account, the Cossacks messed with Texas (hey, guys, all of the bumper stickers warn you not to do that)and the Bandidos didn’t like that. So, they took to fighting and, since some of them did have their shooting irons in hand(Texas. Whole ‘nother country. Never forget it.), things escalated pretty quick.
9 people are dead. 18 hospitalized. 192 arrested. Not a single one beaten to death while in police custody. Maybe that’s because they were all white.
I don’t quite understand this. Do our darker hued brethren not like motorcycles?
Anyway, I find it a bit distressing because I’d thought those days were in the past. I though motorcycle gangs today meant a lot of old guys reliving their glory days and not really wanting to get into gang fights. Apparently, I thought wrong.
