It's a turf war. The Bandidtos and the Cossacks are the two well known gangs, but, there were two others as well.
The Bandidtos found a home and evidently it is a nice home with good service. The clubs owner did a great job, but, it bit him in the butt.
Bikers have their own sense of security. Parking spaces is one of them. Whoever ruffed the feathers of the parking space was most likely aware of the rules. Bikers know they are in among the public so they make sure the offender is in full control of his (her is more a possession issue) senses and that he understands the rules. Once that is established god help you if persisting in insulting the intelligence of the Biker and his friends.
They really don't like to be involved with the general public. They realize they are their own law enforcement and most people don't understand or even know about the rules and power behind them, so they tread easily until it is obvious there is a profoundly foolish offender in their midst.
I am a little surprised there are four gangs involved. It tells me, quite naively, the place the Bandidos were calling home was also being called home by upto three other gangs. It must be a heck of place. The owner may or may not be the power behind a real PEACE that was disturbed the other day. Interesting. Turf sharing. Now, there's a thought.

The Bandidos motorcycle gang (click here) has a saying: “Cut one, we all bleed.”
It’s not clear who started the cutting, but there was plenty of bloodshed on Sunday when the Bandidos brutally clashed with members of several other bike gangs at a restaurant in Waco, Tex. A wild shootout in broad daylight left nine bikers dead, 18 wounded and at least 165 under arrest.
The confrontation began about noon at a Twin Peaks restaurant in a shopping center and quickly escalated from fisticuffs to all-out war, said Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton, a police spokesman. At one point, as many as 30 gang members were shooting at one another in the restaurant’s parking lot. Police found more than 100 weapons and scores of shell casings....
