Bikers Continued Jailing Sparks Waco Protest 3 Weeks Later

WACO, Texas – Several hundred bikers protested Sunday outside a courthouse in Waco over the continued jailing of more than 100 bikers, friends and family members three weeks after a deadly shootout at a restaurant.

Bikers proclaimed their constitutional rights and held signs outside the McLennan County courthouse. Before they parked in front of the court building, they circled the jail and detention center twice.

"We wanted to let the boys know we were here," Sons of Liberty motorcycle club member Mel Robins said. The protest was organized by the club's Dallas chapter.

The Confederation of Clubs and Independents urged members in an email to avoid the protest so as not to "exacerbate what is already a highly charged" situation. That group is the one that organized the May 17 meeting at a Waco Twin Peaks that ended in gunfire.

HOUSTON - The guns seized after the deadly shootout in Waco have the potential to breathe new life into unsolved crimes around the country.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosive's Houston office is taking the lead on tracing all of the guns found to determine if any can be connected to cases that go well beyond the Waco area.

"We're initiating firearms traces on all the firearms that were recovered," said Rob Elder, ATF special agent-in-charge.

Elder said at last count, more than 100 firearms have been recovered; everything from pistols to rifles.

"We don't know, at this point, if those weapons could have been used in other shootings, other homicides," said Elder.

New Threats Target Texas Police After Waco Biker Brawl

Texas law enforcement officials are investigating what they say are new threats against officers from biker gangs in the wake of a recent shootout in Waco.

Members of the Bandidos biker gang who are in the military “are supplying the gang with grenades and C4 explosives,” according to a bulletin issued Thursday by the Texas Department of Public Safety and reviewed by CNN.

The bulletin warns of plots targeting high-ranking law enforcement officials and their families with car bombs. The bulletin is based on unsubstantiated information from an informant who claimed to have obtained it from Bandidos and Black Widows motorcycle gang members.

The Bandidos want to retaliate against police for shooting “their brothers” as they came out of the Twin Peaks restaurant, the bulletin says.

The gang has ordered a hit against Texas troopers and other officers, according to the bulletin. Among the threats are running over officers at traffic stops and the use of grenades and Molotov cocktails and firearms.
