You’re a police official in a central Texas city. You hear that a group of motorcycle gangs is gathering at a place known as an “adult entertainment” business.<\/p>\n

You know of the biker gangs’ reputation of criminal activity. You suspect many of them are packing guns. You know some of the gangs are rivals of the other gangs.<\/p>\n

Gosh, what could possibly go wrong?<\/p>\n

What went wrong went terribly<\/em> wrong.<\/p>\n

The bikers erupted in violence in Waco. Nine of them were killed in the fire fight.<\/p>\n

The cops did present themselves in some force at the scene prior to the outburst, which began with a fistfight and escalated into gunfire.<\/p>\n

As Jim Mitchell writes for the Dallas Morning News, the restaurant management seems to be the bad guys in this terrible incident.<\/p>\n

According to Mitchell: “It is really troubling that\u00a0police say the local restaurant managers refused to cooperate in tightening security, a claim restaurant managers dispute. No shirts, no shoes, no service is standard restaurant fare. But weapons and a meeting to carve up turf for criminal activity is no problem?”<\/p>\n

The restaurant is Twin Peaks, which is a chain of adult-oriented businesses.<\/p>\n

Might there be some avenue for prosecuting a business for conspiracy in the commission of a deadly riot?<\/p>\n\n
