The Texas chapters tend to have a larger Hispanic membership. In fact I would say most of the bike gangs in Texas are that way.
I thought they were a joke. They have their "meetings" at a local bar in town (Bremerton). They got all these patches like the boys scouts. Looked like a bunch of wanabes.
Did not notice any majority or even significant hispanic membership at least with our local chapter. Just looked like a bunch of adults that never grew up.
White trash thug culture. Guns, Nazi tats and motorcycles.
Too bad so many were old and fat and couldn't take each other out faster and make the world a better place.
This seems like a very racist post, calling white people trash and thugs. Can I get some outrage here?
I think I have some credit left on my race card.
Hmmmmm Banditos.....heavy metal music???
Could have sworn they prefered traditional Mexican music.

Bandidos...
Bandito is what the bad Frito guy is.
Maybe you should flag down the first biker you see wearing Bandido colors and ask them.
Maybe your pronous should agree with your nouns.

I'll check that out just as soon as I figure out what a pronous means.

Thugs and their heavy metal hate music.
There's a lot of heavy metal that isn't full of hate, bro. Just like hip hop. There's a lot of metal that's very innovative. You need to broaden your appreciation of music.
It should be pointed out that although most of the bikers are white there were many Hispanic and a few black among them. And, they ARE all thugs -- they would not make it passed pledge if they were not.
CNN has been going on and on today about the difference in the way the police treated these guys versus the blacks in Ferguson etc. They simply can't resist making this about race.

Do you think there was a difference?
Following a spate of white-on-white violence over the weekend in Waco, Texas, that claimed nine lives and resulted in scores of casualties and over 190 arrests, there has been a marked lack of interest in talking about where the event fits into the epidemic of such white criminal behavior in the U.S. -- despite the fact that every year, more white people are murdered by white people than by any other group.
In recent years, a national pattern has begun to emerge in the wake of shootings in which a black man is killed by a white man. Of course the death is a tragedy, goes the narrative, but the dead man probably provoked the killing somehow -- and more importantly, if you truly care about young black men, why aren't you more concerned about black-on-black violence?
The same pattern doesn't hold even when white-on-white crime unfolds in full view of the nation, as it did in the parking lot of the Twin Peaks Restaurant on Sunday.
Yet white-on-white crime should be a huge concern -- because it’s out of control. Granted, there are 201 thugs off the streets for the time being, but what about the rest of them?
Around 83 percent of white victims in 2011 were murdered by other whites, based on the most recent FBI homicide data.
As many as 3,172 white people were killed in 2011 -- and 2,630 of them lost their lives at the hands of another white person. This is compared to 2,695 black people, 2,447 of whom were killed by another black person.
Yes, on both sides!
In this case 9 bikers were killed and it looks like about 4 of those were killed by police. We do know that no police officer was killed or for that matter hit by gunfire so it may be the case that the bikers didn't fire at police at all. Did you see any scenes of bikers resisting arrest -- I didn't.
It would be interesting to know if there is any video footage that depicts the actions between the moment the shit hit the fan and when video/still show many bikers sitting on curbs. It's not clear that the bikers put up much of a fight with the police at all.
There have been other cases where there has been clear deference on the part of police to the criminal actions of others. A year or so ago when the ranchers out west were spoiling for a fight with the federal government over the fees paid for grazing the ranchers showed up heavily armed and the police clearly stood down. Perhaps what the urban black and Hispanic communities need to do is come in in droves publicly brandishing heavy weapons.

I can only imagine the collective national freakout if an armed gang of black people picked up some heavy weapons and demanded millions in welfare (like Cliven Bundy did). I feel very confident it would not end well.
Interesting take on this by a black woman. I believe she was being ironic but I could be wrong. Evidently liberals want to drag race into it just as much as conservatives.

They didn't put up much of a fight except for the massive gun battle in which 9 people died. The police clearly thought they presented enough of a threat to shoot and kill 4 of them. Let me just say that I find it unlikely that the police action OR the reporting on the issue would have been the same if there was a massive black gang war that erupted.

Imagine that dirtbag thugs acting like dirtbag thugs.
I was sitting the waiting room at the doctor's office this afternoon and they had CNN on and the topic was "Why aren't the bikers being called "thugs"?"
Yep, seems like I called the bikers "dirtbag thugs" early on.
