The brazen midday Sunday Texas shootout between dozens of motorcycle gang members shined a bright light on the seedy underbelly of outlaw biker gangs. At least one crew involved, the Bandidos, is an international gang considered on the same threat level as the Crips, Bloods and Aryan Brotherhood, according to a Texas public safety gang assessment. They’d been on the verge of war for months with the Cossacks, another, smaller crew that had recently made a move for increased turf and respect in Texas. The nine people killed in the Waco parking lot carnage all belonged to two gangs, the Cossacks and Bandidos, police said. Another 18 people were injured and cops arrested 170 people. The Bandidos are fiercly protective of the Texas patch and reportedly attacked Cossack members who flew the flag on their vests. A total of five different gangs were involved in the melee, Waco cops said. Here’s what we know about the Bandidos and Cossacks. –The Bandidos proudly flaunt themselves as a “one percenter” outlaw club.

The boast comes from an old quote by the American Motorcycle Association, which claimed in the 1960s that 99% of bikers were law abiders - leaving one percent to wreak havoc. Outlaw clubs, including the Hells Angels, have historically worn the label as a badge of honor. Members of the Cossacks are rounded up and held for questioning by the police Sunday following the carnage. OUTRAGE AS WACO, TEXAS BIKER FIGHT IS COMPARED TO BALTIMORE –Bandidos have more than 2,000 members among more than 90 chapters in the U.S., Canada, Europe and around the world in 13 different countries, according to the FBI. The group is known to traffick in cocaine and marijuana, and produce and sell meth. Bandidos operate in at least 16 states, from Alabama to Nebraska and Wyoming. They’re most active in the “Pacific, Southeastern, Southwestern and the West Central regions of the U.S.,” according to the Department of Justice. “The Bandidos are expanding in each of these regions by forming additional chapters and allowing members of supporting clubs, known as ‘puppet’ or ‘duck’ club members who have sworn allegiance to another club but who support and do the ‘dirty work’ of a mother club - to form new or join existing Bandidos chapters.”

The Bandidos and Cossacks were two of five gangs that converged Sunday on Twin Peaks in Waco, Texas. –In Texas, the Bandidos, formed in the 1960s, avoid high-profile crimes “such as drive by shootings that many street gangs tend to commit,” according to the state DPS. “However, members are not covert about making their presence known by wearing the gang colors, insignia, and riding in large groups. They seek to turn public sentiment in their favor by organizing frequent charity runs. Bandidos are likely to focus on recruiting new members with no criminal history.” WACO SHOOTOUT AMONG WORST IN BIKER GANG VIOLENCE HISTORY Authorities say that the shootout victims were members of rival biker gangs that had gathered for a meeting. –Cossacks are not mentioned in the state gang assessment, but according to a law enforcement bulletin obtained by WFAA-TV, the group was working to grow its presence in Texas by eating into the Bandidos turf. The group had recently "started wearing the Texas patch on the bottom rocker of their vests without the approval of the Bandidos," the bulletin said.

"Traditionally, the Bandidos have been the dominant motorcycle club in Texas and no other club is allowed to wear the Texas bar without their consent. If the club refuses, Bandidos members will attempt to remove the vest by force from the member." Such actions led to several attacks, assaults and robberies, according to police, who feared the two factions were on the verge of a full-out war.motorbike for sale hue –The Cossacks were reportedly in talks to ally with the Hells Angels, a big time Bandidos rival, according to Vox. for sale 250cc motorcycle philippinesAnd the Bandidos, who have historically run the state of Texas, took is as a slap in the face, according to Vox. motorcycle front tire rotation direction
