I can't believe Twin Peaks lets them where there vest with their "color's", in the restaurant

Fayetteville has one of the largest biker rally's (probably top 5) in the country and almost every bar and restaurant bans vest...for this very reason

Also the police had asked the Twin Peaks management to shut the restaurant prior to the fight, because they were worried about trouble with multiple gangs/clubs being there and twin peaks declined...so there about to be sued to no end...

My girlfriend was telling me about that rally. She said it's the absolute worst. Like they all just descend upon the town and almost everyone hates them

I hope all of these THUGS are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I don't know what is going on in this country that a man and his film can't sit down to a quality meal served by a bosomy waitress, without the fear of being shot.

Cops should've shot more!

it's definitely outgrown the original venue (Dickson st), now they have 3 sites set up, to spread it out.

Crazy. Obviously motorcycle gangs are serious business. Wonder what started it?

From what my friend told me (he's in a MC, not a One Percenter though) it started some time ago over a stupid patch. The whole Motorcycle Club thing is serious business to those involved and there are formal rules over things such as colors and patches.

Anyway, one of the groups wanted to throw a Texas rocker under their club patch on the back of their vest. Apparently in order to do so you have to be affiliated with the Texas Bandidos. Said club refused and did it anyway. Which caused an ongoing problem.

Sounds stupid, I know. But if you're at all familiar with the stringent set of rules that comes with that culture, it does make some sense. There are rules one has to live under in order to be accepted both in a club and in biker community as a whole. And that Texas patch is apparently reserved for only certain clubs and affiliates.

We have had the bandidos come through here once or twice. No problems with them. The cops keep a close on them as they pass through.

They were at a restaurant in vanburen Arkansas one time, pulled out and blocked traffic so the rest could leave. Damn near took the one guy out trying to get my truck stopped. I was pissed. Once I figured out who they were, I calmed down pretty quick. Lol

Only other dealings I've had with bikers was at a hole in the wall store on the Colorado river. They actually looked out for me because some meth head was trying to steal my gas. Four of them came out with big sticks. Their women were all topless laying on a wood deck out on the river next to a jet boat.

Very intimidating.

I've never had a problem with the Bandidos I've met. Provided I've never been in a place where there was a large group of them, but the ones I've spoken to in the past were friendly enough folks.

It's the affiliated MCs one needs to be wary of.

MC's?

Motorcycle Club. One thing to look for on the vest (or cut as they call it) when you see a group. It'll have "Veterans MC" or something of the like. You can tell they are affiliated with a Club if they have a patch with a name on the back. The obvious one like the Bandidos or Hells Angels are what they call a One Percenter. As in 1% of the motorcycle clubs are the ones to shy away from. But honestly unless you do something to one of them, they'll leave you alone. I've got a guy that works for me that is Bandido affiliated. And causes no problems at all.

It's the affiliated clubs you have to be wary of. Those smaller clubs that fall "under" a one percenter club so to speak. There's a hierarchy in that world where you join the Bandidos or Hells Angels after spending time in an affiliated club. You get invited and go back into Prospect status after proving your worth. However, those guys are always trying to make a name for themselves which is where a lot of your problems come about.

A guy on my HS football teams dad was a 1%er, Pagans if I remember correctly. There was a big end of season party at his house when the cops showed up Sr and some of his friends met them at the driveway and they promptly left, didn't bother us the rest of the night. Big Raymond was a good guy if he liked you, I'd have hated to been someone he didn't like.

I drank beer with hell's angels back in my younger years. If they liked you, no one screwed with you.

I saw Big Raymond and his buddies destroy some guys once, no idea what it was over but I decided then and there I wanted no part of them. A fight is fine but stomping and kicking a man when he's down is going over the line.

At the time we had no idea who we were hanging out with. They had a club house on the same dirt road where we partied all the time.

Once we were "cleared" to be on the road we were ok. He'll even the cops left us alone.

I didn't realize "it's legal to ban the display of motorcycle club patches in public establishments," as posted in that article linked above.

All of the deaths are from police? Wow.

Any place can establish a dress code. It's no different than a dance club banning FUBU shirts and sagging pants.

It's been awhile since I've been to the bars in downtown Nashville but several used to ban ball caps and work type boots.

Local news says four of the nine deaths appear to be due to law enforcement gunfire. The more I read about this, the more amazed I am that the death toll was not much higher.

Has it been determined who fired first?

I guess. I suppose I just never considered that dress code might include a specific patch.

I probably would have asked to leave work early, before I told 200 bikers they had to go. Lol
