A few more details have come to light about the Waco biker gang fight that left nine people dead:
Evidently the “clash was reportedly sparked over a parking spot.”
At least 192 people are facing organized crime charges.
Evidently that particular Twin Peaks was a known recruitment spot for biker gangs. Waco police had known about the meeting between the Cossacks and Bandidos, asked for help from restaurant management, and been refused.
Twin Peaks corporate “is ‘seriously considering revoking’ the Waco location’s franchise agreement.”
“A McLennan County official said the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission has revoked Twin Peaks’ alcohol license for seven days while the investigation continues.”
“Police on Sunday afternoon received reports that possibly hundreds of members of the biker gangs from around the state were headed to Waco.”
Vox provides some not entirely useless context.
