I read where Twin Peaks corporate offices pulled their franchise and slammed the store management for their role in the confrontation. I couldn’t believe it when I read the restaurant refused overtures by police to be present when this “meeting” took place. What a foolish, foolish thing for a store owner to do to their guests and employees. Now, several people will be out of jobs but at least they left still alive. For that, they can be thankful.
Well, let's address this first. I guess you didn't read what kind of entity this was: Flesh-catering (not so much food catering...scantily clad employees.
Such employees should (eventually) be thankful to at least (temporarily) be out of this industry.
And for those who were profiting off of the exploitation of its female "employees," 'tis good that they are out of this kind of "work," too.

Ok, so let's next deal with some of the misnomers surrounding this matter as well (beyond your comments, but related):
Yes, the police requested that they be included in on the "meeting." Failing that, they had at least a dozen officers on the scene.
Not sure having more security, more officers on the scene than that, would have pre-empted what occurred.
As for the Twin Peaks franchise, it issued a statement saying that they were thankful than NONE (as in zero) of their "guests" were injured/hurt:
Announcement of the franchise revocation came Monday after it was learned the Waco location failed to comply with police requests not to serve bikers at the event, according to the statement:
We are in the people business and the safety of the employees and guests in our restaurants is priority one. Unfortunately the management team of the franchised restaurant in Waco chose to ignore the warnings and advice from both the police and our company, and did not uphold the high security standards we have in place to ensure everyone is safe at our restaurants. We will not tolerate the actions of this relatively new franchisee and are immediately revoking their franchise agreement. Our sympathies continue to be with the families of those who died and are very thankful no employees, GUESTS, police officers or bystanders were hurt or injured."

Hmmm...nice revisionism on the part of Twin Peaks: These biker gangs were "guests" (paying customers) every time they've frequented there in the past...so suddenly, they are less than "guests?"
But, hey, Twin Peaks is in the cesspool biz so what'd ya 'xpect from their PR people?
Secondly, where's the outcry from the liberals & the homosexual community on the fact that the Waco PD was repeatedly requesting that Twin Peaks not serve these biker gangs?
You mean a hue & cry goes across the nation when two homosexual men can't get a Christian-owned bakery to openly sanction their unnatural relationship? But when an entire group of men are targeted for commercial exclusion based upon the type of jacket they where, that's to be lauded & commended by the liberals & homosexual activists & sympathizers?
