re: Biker Shootout at the Twin Peaks in Waco, TX

Yesterday, the Texas Department of Public Safety leaked a confidential bulletin to CNN, “the most trusted name in news,” that claims that members of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club are arming themselves with “grenades and C4 explosives” and are plotting to kill “high-ranking law enforcement officials and their families with car bombs.” The bulletin lists possible targets in Waco, Austin, El Paso, Dallas, Corpus Christi and Houston.

The alleged plots have been hatched to retaliate against police who shot “their brothers” as they emerged from the Twin Peaks restaurant last Sunday. The bulletin is based on information from an informant who cites members of the Bandidos and Black Widows Motorcycle Clubs as a source.

The Aging Rebel has been unable to substantiate that any members of the Bandidos were killed last Sunday. This page believes that eight members of the Cossacks Motorcycle Club and one unaffiliated biker were killed. The unaffiliated biker was 65-year-old Jesus Delgado Rodriguez, a former Marine who won a Purple Heart in Vietnam. The official cause of Rodriguez’ death was a “gunshot wound to the head and trunk.” Because of the nature of the fatal wound, this page believes Rodriguez was lying on the ground when he was shot in the head by a long rifle.

The Aging Rebel has also not been able to substantiate the existence of any Black Widows Motorcycle Club in any Southwestern state. The only Black Widows Motorcycle Clubs this page has been able to identify are a fictional motorcycle club in the 1978 Clint Eastwood Comedy Every Which Way But Loose and tongue-in-cheek groups that pay homage to the movie.
