And you know, you can’t have hundreds of guys committing criminal acts and people not get caught. Now if we’ve been operating in this state for 46 years and in that kind of stuff, you would have heard about it. Our club is as old as some of those and older than some. They’re famous because of the things they got in trouble for.
You don’t know about the Hells Angels, the Bandidos, the Outlaws, the Mongols because of what they do for children. Now the only reason you ever heard of the other outlaw clubs out there is because of their criminal acts. Now, if we’d had four-and-a-half decades of criminal activity, you’re gonna find something. So what do you think about the stereotype of running prostitution and meth rings and so on? Matter of fact, I told everybody in my chapter, don’t bear a gun in there … because the way things have been, it would have chanced somebody getting hotheaded and throw a punch, and I didn’t want to see anything get out of hand. I wouldn’t have brought any of my chapter there. I saw you quoted somewhere saying that if you had thought that violence was going to break out, you would not have brought your son. Our guys were sitting there with nothing but bandannas in their hands trying to stuff bullet holes. And not a single one at any time walked over, brought us a first aid kit, offered to tie a tourniquet on anybody, patch a hole, anything. Every one of those cop cars had some kind of first aid kit in ‘em. made no attempt during that time to give first aid or any kind of aid to Jake.
John Wilson: … I ask him if several of us couldn’t pick up Jake along with some other ones that were wounded and carry them to the ambulances, and he basically told me that if I didn’t want to get shot, I wouldn’t. Wilson wanted to help, and he recounts his conversation with a Waco police officer: Wilson begins by telling how Jake Rhyne, one of seven Cossacks killed that day, lay bleeding for 30 to 45 minutes without receiving medical attention. His interview with Julie Lyons is excerpted here. John Wilson is one of the only Cossacks speaking out about what happened that day, and he insists that many of those arrested are innocent. He and his son were arrested, along with 175 others, and later indicted on organized crime charges. John Wilson, who leads the McLennan County chapter of the Cossacks Motorcycle Club, was in the Waco Twin Peaks parking lot when the shooting broke out on May 17 between the Bandidos and Cossacks.
