There has been violence in Waco, Texas:

May 18, 2015

Law enforcement authorities remain on alert Monday in the Southwestern U.S. state of Texas, after a deadly shootout between rival biker gangs shook up the community of Waco about 150 kilometers south of Dallas.

Waco police Sergeant Patrick Swanton said 192 people have been arrested on charges of engaging in organized crime following the Sunday shootout that left nine bikers dead and at least 18 others wounded.

“We have had threats against law enforcement officers throughout the night from various biker groups, Swanton said at a news conference Monday.

“We are very aware that some of them have come into our city and we have a contingency plan to deal with those individuals if they try to cause trouble here,” he added.

Swanton said the violence Sunday began shortly after noon at a restaurant located in a busy shopping center in Waco, where members of at least five rival gangs had gathered for a meeting.

He said officers shot armed bikers, although the AP reported it was not immediately clear whether any of the nine dead were killed by police officers.

Swanton described the interior of the restaurant as littered with bullet casings, knives, bodies and pools of blood after the violence. He said about 150 to 200 bikers were inside during the shootout.

McLennan County Sheriff Parnell McNamara, whose office is involved in the investigation, said all nine killed were members of the Bandidos or Cossacks gangs.

The Bandidos, formed in the 1960s, are involved in trafficking cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamines, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. http://www.voanews.com/content/threats-against-police-follow-weekend-violence/2775872.html

WACO, Tex. — The police charged about 170 people on Monday in the shootout among rival motorcycle gangs at a busy shopping plaza in this Central Texas city on Sunday that left at least nine bikers dead and 18 others wounded.

Law enforcement officials said the midday gun battle was primarily between the Bandidos and Cossacks gangs, a continuation of a long-running feud between the two groups, though members of the Scimitars and two other gangs were also involved.

The people arrested after the shootout at the Twin Peaks restaurant, in south Waco, were charged with engaging in organized crime linked to capital murder, said Sgt. Patrick Swanton, a Waco Police Department spokesman. It will be up to prosecutors and a grand jury to decide what charges they will ultimately face, but capital murder charges can carry the death penalty.

The episode, which left the restaurant and its parking lot littered with bullet shell casings and blood spatters, was so large and chaotic that for several hours the police were not sure how many people they had detained. Sergeant Swanton said Monday morning that the figure was 192 but he later corrected it to 170, warning that it might change again, and said that rather than overwhelm the jail, the police used Waco’s Convention Center as a staging area overnight to hold those arrested. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/19/us/waco-texas-biker-gang-shooting.html?_r=0

Now there’s word that the biker gangs have issued repeated threats against the police in the aftermath of the Waco “melee” as The New York Times headline called it. http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/18/opinions/kohn-biker-shooting-waco/

The motto of the Bandidos is “We are the people our parents warned us about.”

Possibly to prepare for civil unrest in the USA, a military exercise called Jade Helm 15 is to be held this Summer and Waco, Texas is one of the places that is to be involved:

BIG SPRING, Texas (AP/KXAN) — The West Texas town of Big Spring is among those that will see part of the Jade Helm 15 military exercise that has alarmed some Texans concerned about a federal takeover. Big Spring Mayor Larry McLellan told KWES-TV that military officials had contracted with some local ranchers, but no one was expected to have to leave their homes during the exercise this summer. http://kxan.com/2015/05/15/west-texas-town-awaits-jade-helm-military-exercise/

As far as violence goes, the Bible prophecies violence and shows that God is against violence and that destruction will come because of it:

23 ‘Make a chain,
For the land is filled with crimes of blood,
And the city is full of violence.
24 Therefore I will bring the worst of the Gentiles,
And they will possess their houses;
I will cause the pomp of the strong to cease,
And their holy places shall be defiled. (Ezekiel 7:23-24)

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality … 30… violent, proud, boasters,… 31 …unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:28-32)

8…And the violence of the land and the city, And of all who dwell in it. ( Habakkuk 2:8)

The Bible also shows that more violence will come from:

7 Your country is desolate,
Your cities are burned with fire;
Strangers devour your land in your presence;
And it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. (Isaiah 1:7)

While much of the above will come from a successful invasion of the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39), some of the cities burning with fire may be the result of civil unrest in the USA.

Irrespective of Jade Helm 15, severe civil unrest will come to the USA.

Jade Helm, Captivity, and Prophecy This is a video telling about Jade Helm and the frightening truth about what will happen after Jade Helm 15 is past. Jade Helm 15 is scheduled by the US Army Special Operations Command to be held from July 15 – September 15, 2015. Some are concerned that this is a prelude to martial law and imprisonment of American political dissidents by the Obama Administration. Is there anything to this? Will the USA be one day taken captive? If so, by whom? What does the Bible teach about conspiracies like Jade Helm?
