Central Florida has long history of violent biker gangs

Outlaw bikers have been around Central Florida longer than Walt Disney World.

For more than 40 years, local bikers blew up rivals' headquarters, sold guns and dope and shot at one another. The heyday for violence appeared over in the 1990s, after federal investigations and prosecutions resulted in numerous convictions of Warlocks, Outlaws and members of other "outlaw motorcycle gangs."



That calm ended a week ago in Seminole County with the killings of three members of the Warlocks at a charity fundraiser in Winter Springs, a typically quiet Orlando-area bedroom community.

Police reports blame the killings on members of the "Philly" Warlocks who opened fire on Warlocks from Orlando, Lake County and a visiting member from Louisiana. Yet many questions remain about who shot first and why the four men charged with murder immediately waived their Miranda rights and spoke to police about the shooting. What they said remains a mystery.

And there's no explanation yet for the rift that prompted former Warlocks President David "Tin Man" Maloney and others charged with murder to form the splinter group wearing a different "Philly" Warlocks patch to challenge bikers once considered their brothers . http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2012-10-08/news/os-warlocks-central-florida-20121005_1_warlocks-outlaws-motorcycle-club-biker
