In San Francisco, I lived for a while next door to a Hells Angel house.
On a number of nights, or rather early in the mornings, the Angels would
ride their bikes up and down the street, revving their Harleys to the
max. No one wanted to call the police because .... anyone calling the
cops on the bikers would be inviting retaliation.

You deserve what you tolerate! The whole neighborhood should have been
filing complaints and standing up for their rights against these wimps.
Their reputation is far bigger than their sleazy reality.
I had the pleasure of dealing with the Hell's Angels every Memorial Day
for five years in the '70s on their annual trek to Bass Lake. We put
them in a secluded camp ground removed from all other visitors and let
them know that any misbehaviour in our community would be dealt with
severly. They hardly ever gave us any problems.
