    According to Caesar Campbell who was the Bandidos Sgt At Arms at the time said that the Bandidos were not even aware of the Comancheros being at the swap meet, that they had gone simply to look around. Yes the Bandidos had firearms but were very few and were there due to Snoddy only just coming back from a hunting trip with members of another Bandidos chapter. Caesar also stated that he approached the Comancheros in Milperra and called for them to drop their firearms and to fight like men. His books are a very interesting read.

      No, Ross would rather play the victim, instead of taking responsibility like what a real man would. He planned the "horns of the bull" ambush and had his men armed at the Viking Tavern, so the violence was planned, despite what Ross later claimed at his trial.

    You got this wrong. The banditos didn't know the plan. They were without fire arms and offered the commos out for a fist fight when they got surrounded but sparra shot snake Campbell then it was all on. Snoddy had come straight from a pig shooting trip so had 2 guns under the camping gear in his ute, these were the only guns they originally had then took some dropped by commos during the fight

The Hells Angel's name came from the Air Force. They actually fought and killed Nazis but took their symbols, Swastika, SS lightning bolts , German helmets ect as a form of rebellion and intimidation . To let Joe public not to mess with them .They didn't give a flying F what anyone thought and still don't. Other clubs have all used these symbols over the years .

    Not exactly what happened. The only firearms the Bandidos had apparently were a couple of shotguns and a .357 lever gun. One of them, Snoddy I think had been pig hunting the days prior and arrived back to one of the club members children's birthday parties. They were all going back to the birthday party and none of them knew the Commos were going to be there. That is the story from Caesar Campbells viewpoint. A lot of the members that split to form the Banditos were early members of the Comancheros as well.
