There are many stories in Twin Peaks
You couldn't make it up. A shootout between rival gangs of bikers that left nine dead (all gang members) and 192 arrested took place at the Twin Peaks Sports Bar and Grill in Waco, Texas. Twin Peaks, David Lynch's masterly TV series that made Kyle MacLachlan a star, needs no introduction for its wackiness. Waco is of course where the FBI besieged David Koresh and his Branch Davidian followers in a compound, whereby a fire resulted killing all 76 of those inside the compound.
To add to the craziness, the owner of the Twin Peaks Bar wanted the five gangs to be present there. It escalated from fists to knives to gun, the Bandidos and Cossacks suffering fatalities. Then there was some odd speech from a present police sergeant after the event, “None of our innocent civilians were injured today in this mélêe,” as if there may be innocent civilians who weren't under his jurisdiction. So, so bizarre.
