It's not speculation at all. It's the reported fact. Some bikers stabbed each other,
then one of them pulled out a gun, then the police opened fire with automatic
weapons, slaying nine of them. That's what happened.

Nobody was wearing guns on their hips except the police. Stick to actual facts please ... not hypothetical future scenarios should certain laws be passed. FYI open carry is NOT legal in Texas yet. It has passed the house and has been sent to the senate. It is not law. I'm sorry if that's inconvenient for your vividly painted wild west story.

Since, it's illegal for felons to own firearms, I don't think we will see many 1%ers wearing holsters with guns. They will continue to conceal them.

Hm, can you direct me to where the official reports are? Because I'm only seeing blogs that are declaring this "fact". And that the official reports haven't been made public yet.

They weren't bothering anyone else; they're 21st century knights.

This is reminiscent of the Sandbar Fight. I think that Jim Bowie would been right at home in Waco.

So my question is if the blogs are correct and the cops gunned down these bikers without the bikers threatening the cops with harm, is Sharpton and the lives matter groups going to head down to Waco to protest?

Why don't you go ahead and share your infinite wisdom with all of us. You seem to think you have some vast knowledge. Or take the easy way out and try to insult me. LOL. I really don't offend easily so have at it. And lick a cops butt too while you're at it.

I'm sure they are on there way right now as we speak.
