Factoid
     In the 1980s Glasgow, Scotland, was plagued with the daily violence and intimidation of the Glasgow Ice Cream Wars. The conflict was based on turf wars between ice cream truck drivers who used their delivery routes as a front to sell stolen goods and drugs. The violence culminated on April 16, 1984 with the deaths of six members of the Doyle family after their home was set alight.
