Waco Biker Massacre: Lawsuit Filed By Don Carlos Restaurants Claims "Thousands of Rounds" Were Fired, Police Claim They Only Fired 12 Rounds
The discrepancy is mind-boggling.
From Courthouse News Service:
DALLAS (CN) - A neighboring restaurant has filed the first lawsuit against the Twin Peaks restaurant in Waco where a deadly shootout between rival biker gangs broke out on Sunday.
Don Carlos Restaurant and Waco-based franchisee DC Waco Restaurant, Inc. sued Peaktastic Beverage, LLC, which does business as Twin Peaks Restaurant, Addison-based corporate parent Front Burner Restaurants GP, LLC, and Twin Restaurant Investment Co., LLC in county court on Thursday.
The plaintiff claims Twin Peaks "disregarded basic common sense and ordinary prudence" by inviting the armed rival gang members to a meeting where alcohol was served.
"Twin Peaks has been repeatedly warned by law enforcement that such meetings were not wise, and that violence could likely result," the eight-page complaint states.
"This was part of a nationwide program by the corporate franchisor that encouraged such events. Because of decisions that defy common sense, not only has the Twin Peaks lost its liquor license and franchise rights, but nine people are dead and at least 18 are wounded."
The plaintiff argues it has suffered "as further fallout from these imprudent and unreasonable decisions." It has yet to open since the shootout, saying police closed businesses immediately surrounding Twin Peaks.
"Patrons of plaintiff's place of business were trapped inside the establishment as thousands of bullet rounds were fired by law enforcement officials and gang members," the complaint states. "Law enforcement agents used plaintiff's porch and surrounding walls to protect themselves from incoming fire. At least four cars in the parking lot of plaintiff's place of business now have multiple bullet holes in them."So, if the cops only fired 12 rounds, that means Bikers fired the other "thousands".
