In the picture cited, those men look like Patriots, good guys with guns. The Bandito gang, most likely criminal invaders from across the border, probably started the melee.

***Officers said there were multiple types of weapons used, including guns, chains, knives, bats and clubs.***
***“There were maybe 30 guns being fired in the parking lot, maybe 100 rounds,” said Michelle Logan, 37, who was at Twin Peaks at the time of the shooting and said she knows some of the victims. “They just opened fire.”***
UPDATE, 4:00 p.m.(CDT): At least nine people are confirmed dead in a shooting around noon Sunday at Twin Peaks restaurant, said Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton. All of the fatalities are members of biker gangs. No patrons, servers or less enforcement officials were killed, Swanton said.
There is a very significant increase in law enforcement in McLennan County right now, Swanton said. Local, county, state and federal agencies are involved in investigations.
DPS and intelligence agents were working on the investigation long before today and Waco police have been aware of the inquest for more than a month, said Swanton.
Twin Peaks and Don Carlos were closed down after the shooting, and witnesses are being questioned on the scene and at the police department, according to the sergeant.
“The management wanted them here,” Swanton said of Twin Peaks officials. “Management knew that there were issues, and we were here, but they continued to let those groups of people into their business.”
SNIP
There were at least three rival gangs on the scene when the shooting occurred, Swanton said.
At least 12 Waco officers, including a SWAT team, and other DPS troopers were at Twin Peaks or in the immediate area when the incident broke out.
Waco police officers moved in and did fire rounds during the incident, Swanton said, praising their quick response.

“and that more biker gangs are gonna show up for a gunfight”
Always when I used the word “biker gangs” to people who were bikers and used the word “gangs” they got offended. They would show me their leather jacket that had the name of their “club” and after was the initials “MC” They told me that “MC” meant “Motorcycle Club”. I told them I always thought it meant “ Manchurian Candidate”.
*sigh*. You know, good old fashioned white American men DO commit crimes. All the time in fact. Look at the picture of all the bikers rounded up. Any of them look Mexican or Muslim to you?

Yeah, they look like a bunch of real choir boys. I’m sure they were just getting back from Sunday services.
She knows some of the “victims?” Doubt there were any ‘victims” in the melee.
Bandidos are mostly all white boys
Here’s their website.....http://www.bandidosmc.com/
The Bandidos have been in Texas forever. They are mostly white guys.
“Where would this have been in relation to Kohls?”
Kohls is about the center of the mall. It is longer North South than it is wide East West.
Twin Peaks is west of Cabelas. If you are south bound on 35 and take the exit to Hwy 6/Woodway, that’s the south end of the mall on your right.
Twin Peaks has some serious liability on this. Hope the owner investors are properly insured...
Actually the fellow at the left edge of the picture looks a lot like my dentist. He's not a biker -- so it's not him but the resemblance is uncanny.
“Which gangs were these?”

From Wiki:
The Bandidos Motorcycle Club, also known as the Bandido Nation, is a “one-percenter” motorcycle club[1][2][3] and organized crime syndicate with a worldwide membership. The club was formed in 1966 by Don Chambers in Texas. Its motto is “We are the people our parents warned us about”. It is estimated to have 2,400 members in 210 chapters, located in 22 countries. The club considers itself to be an outlaw motorcycle club. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Criminal Intelligence Service Canada have named the Bandidos an “outlaw motorcycle gang”.[4]
Thanks...the creep is really into the whole Hispanic heritage thing, to the point of obsession. He's also a far-leftist ad evidenced by his opposition to the death penalty.
I don’t know him! I live in Waco and friends have been sharing it on their FB.
Yep...exactly as suspected, it's a liberal criminal outfit. Thank goodness for the God-fearing armed Texans on hand to stop these scum from murdering many more. True Texas justice prevails again.
Texas, Our Texas! All hail the mighty State!
Texas, Our Texas! So wonderful so great!
Boldest and grandest, withstanding ev'ry test
O Empire wide and glorious, you stand supremely blest.
Texas, O Texas! your freeborn single star,
Sends out its radiance to nations near and far,
Emblem of Freedom! it set our hearts aglow,
With thoughts of San Jacinto and glorious Alamo.
Texas, dear Texas! from tyrant grip now free,
Shines forth in splendor, your star of destiny!
Mother of heroes, we come your children true,
Proclaiming our allegiance, our faith, our love for you.
God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.
God bless you Texas! And keep you brave and strong,
That you may grow in power and worth, throughout the ages long.
So first it was the Muslims... .then the Mexicans... and now left wing Europeans. You’ve gone the whole way around the globe in about 5 posts. Of course, it couldn’t POSSIBLY be good born and bred Texas boys, now could it?
Now I feel like going to Dairy Queen!!!
Even in the Great State of Texas, there are liberal cockroaches concentrated in the urban areas -- Dallas, Houston, El Paso, Waco, San Antonio, Austin and so on.
When we get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, we shall become as corrupt as Europe. -- Thomas Jefferson
The far flung suburban and rural parts of Texas are filled with God-fearing Conservatives, some of whom are in the good, pro-American, pro-gun motorcycle clubs.
Speaking of DQ, can you figure out the allusion in my tagline, davetex? :)
