Let’s see if we can glean any answers from the article cited:
”- Nine? Why not more? I assume that there were more than nine guys in the bar – why was the death toll only nine? Five biker gangs were involved. Were the deaths all from the same gang, or were they distributed?”
“192 people were arrested and will be charged with engaging in organized crime”
“officers returned fire, taking several of them down” conceivably the 9 dead
“all nine who were killed were members of the Bandidos or Cossacks gangs”
”- What sports argument could have gotten so heated that it was worth killing each other?”
“Sports Bar began at midday Sunday. Fighting spilled from the restaurant” does not imply a sport related theme.
”- To what degree did Texas’ Open Carry law play a role?”
“Texas Department of Public Safety classified the Bandidos as a “Tier 2” threat, the second highest. Other groups in that tier included the Bloods, Crips and Aryan Brotherhood of Texas.” Safe to say, none.
”- Were these all Harley riders?”
Huh?
”- The article said that it started with fists, moved to chains, then knives, then guns. Didn’t anyone see that this was not going to end well?”
“Police — who had been expecting trouble from the gathering — were on the scene when fighting broke out, and they quickly called in reinforcements.”
“There’s at least one documented instance of violence between the two groups.”
“The Bandidos, formed in the 1960s, are involved in trafficking cocaine, marijuana and methamphetamines, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.”
Hmmm. What was the question?
