Export thread

Ok, so I guess I'm not as brave as I thought.. 3 Hell's Angels gang members just pulled up and parked here.

Cops have been called to handle any problems.. if I weren't expecting a customer, I would lock the door and arm myself.


What would you do in a similar situation?

I don't think Hell's Angels go around harassing or injuring civilians too often if you don't fuck with them.

As long as you're not an Outlaw Motorcycle Club member you should be fine. I don't think they do the extortion racket anymore.

The vast majority of Hell's Angels are just guys who like riding motorcycles. Calling the cops just cause they pulled up to your store is bullshit.

Yeah, and the vast majority of serial killers are nice guys that you just need to get to know!

Yeah, pretty much this.

You don't need to worry just because they are there, unless there has been some sort of recent activity in your area involving them. Just play it cool, act natural! They can smell fear and don't look them in the eyes.

Remember, they have to keep swimming in order to stay right-side up.

.....wait... I think I got a bit sidetracked at the end..

Hell's Angels are, for the most part, just bikers. Don't mess with them, and they don't have a reason to mess with you. Anything criminal they do, they try to operate low-profile.

Like Doc said, unless you're an Outlaw member, or make an attempt to get on their bad side, they won't hassle you.

Hahaha

Just pull a South Park and call them ***s, that should work nicely

I don't really understand the question. If we called the cops every time "scary" biker guys were parked out front our entire economy would fall apart during Sturgis Rally.

Are you sure they're Hells Angels? Did they have the patch on the back of the jacket?

But really, just calling the cops because someone different pulled up is a chickenshit thing to do.

We have plenty of regular bikers pull up, I have no quarrel with them. When someone brazenly pulls up and they're loud, and obnoxious to others, and have "Hells Angels, California" on their jackets, hell yes I'm taking precautions.

Want me to send them to your house?

Oh, so now you're changing the story. Your original post just said they pulled up, nothing more.

I call shenanigans.

When they take a shit on your front desk. That's when you call.

What, are they screaming BRRROOOM BRRROOOOM BRROOOOM?

Bunch'a ******s.

It's when they put the baseball cards in their motorcycle spokes you should watch out.

New question. Does Officer Charon ever call himself?

If you've got time to log into an internet forum and ask what you should do, they're not a likely threat.

If the OP is Neon Grue, then it's no great loss anyway.

I thought the hells angels was like volunteering at preschools and shit now?

My parents are huge bikers. They know a few Angels and have said that they are fairly nice, if not shady.


I think this is serious bullshit."Aw! There pipes are so loud! That must mean they are hear to loot my store! " Get over it. My parents bikes are loud as God Himself and no one calls the cops on them. They are also members of a biking group, doesn't mean they are out to fucking rob folks.

Just chill.

Someone is a puuuuusay. If I were you, I would go out there and fight them myself. Show them who's boss.

I had to call the cops on a customer in my store yesterday. He wasn't being threatening, and he wasn't a hell's angel. He was just an old guy that was obnoxious, trying to access an account that wasn't his, and getting irritated that I wouldn't give him any information without the account holder giving permission. He was being loud, and rude, and refused to leave when I asked him to. "I'm not leaving here until you tell me what I want to know!"

So I called the cops, and they escourted him out.

As much as I love making fun of Neon for all this, this statement is bullshit too.

Nothing to see here!

My advice is:
Don't let fear create trouble where there isn't any. If they aren't hurting or threatening anyone, just leave them be. It's best for you, and it's best for them.

As some others have said, Hells Angels are just bikers. Bikers are loud. Their bikes are loud. My dad rides with some guys who have been (and a couple still are) involved in the "outlaw" clubs. They are some of the nicest guys you'd meet. Just don't get on their bad side.

Dammit. I was deleting that post after thinking better of what I said. Sigh.

I don't get the replies they aren't a group, they are a bona-fide gang, I am pretty sure they have initiations that involve crime in order to get in. So while they maybe nice, they aren't exactly just bikers, they are bikers that are in a gang.

Are you just as cool if members of the Latin Kings started hanging outside your place?

Now granted calling the cops out right is excessive, but extra precautions should be taken considering they are part of a group of people well known for committing crimes.

Damn, lighten the fuck up. If they aren't doing anything you don't need to worry.

My C++ teacher was a Hell's Angel. He'd only cut you if you rode a rice rocket.

Where is Charlie to white knight the racism of rice?

(Sigh)
I called the cops yes, but I called them for information, and to alert them to their presence. Hells Angels don't exactly have a rosy reputation. I didn't yank the phone off the hook and scream "911!".. I called the non-emergency line. I didn't "change my story". Time elapses you know, between parking and then proceeding to be obnoxious to others. But all that is done, they're long gone, no further trouble or hassles had.

So if we can put personal attacks and forum drama behind us, back to the original question: WHEN would/do you call the cops in situations that might call for it?

I think that question's been answered. When they're actually doing illegal shit and not just parked outside.

I don't mean JUST in this situation. Yes, fine, that's been answered.

I'm seeking other personal stories, not just with Hells Angels.

They are known for committing crimes, true. But these guys sound like they are just sitting outside of a computer repair shop making the owner pee his pants because he's seen one too many episodes of bad 70's tv crime shows. They don't bother with petty crime like beating up geeks just because they can. It's like the mafia. These guys won't draw attention to themselves unnecessarily. Leave them alone, they leave you alone. Simple as that.

When would I call the cops if I were a business owner? When they were harassing me or my customers.
If I was at home and alone? I'd probably just stay in my house and see what happens.

You realize it's a computer store.. with computers.. and customers' laptops and desktops in here, supplies, memory, hard drives, ..basic computer parts and such for sale. I have to look out for the safety of not just me, but my inventory, my customer's property, etc. It's quite definitely in my prerogative to be aware of what's going on in the parking lot, who's coming and going etc.

I highly doubt the Hells Angels are going to bother with stealing computers or computer parts from your shop. It's not worth the hassle.

well, to be Hells advocate, yes it would be. You see, I'm very close (just 800 feet) to a freeway onramp. One quick smash and grab, and they'd be out of here with a laptop. That's just one thing I have to be aware of.

Or you know if a laptop you're servicing has sensitive information on it that the Angel's want.

I get that i wasn't suggesting to call the cops but you can still be wary of them.

Also to that, the loudness of the bikes may negatively effect his business I know loud ass bikes just driving are as annoying as people with there music cranked, probably more so. So if they are just sitting outside of his place revving their engines and shit, it 'may' deter possible customers (not illegal per se) but annoying.

I feel really weird doing this, as I usually relish a chance to watch NN suffer when he deserves it, but:

I dunno. Maybe the hells angels wouldn't, but anyone interested in data theft might try it. who knows. As far as Neon Ninja goes, I might have called the cops too, in that case. Not because of them being "Hell's Angels" but because of noise complaints. Only after going outside and asking them if they would please turn off their bikes and come inside for coffee & cookies. I mean, ok, maybe it annoys the cops, but as a tax paying citizen, I'd think you have the right to call the law enforcement whenever you are truly scared for your life or someone elses, even if it proves to be nothing.

I've never had to deal with bikers, exactly, but this year I've had to have security escort students out of the library for a number of reasons. Basically, until they prove to be an immediate and serious problem, I let it go.

I hope, for your sake, that they never find out that you ratted on them.

Rat on them? I run the library at night. If they're causing a disturbance, it's basically my job to take care of it. Security gets involved when they've been asked to leave and won't.

What I've kicked students out for since the beginning of the fall semester: wrestling, shouting, kickboxing, smoking, masturbating, making death threats against other students, listening to a radio in the quiet study area, and attempting to remove parts from one of our computers.

XN: I talk to myself all the time... sometimes, it's the only way to get an intelligent answer.

As far as riding generic complaint calls goes: we ride them, rolling our eyes. However, there are times, rare it's true, but there are times when the worries turn out to be substantiated.

As previously stated, if you honestly feel in danger, go ahead and call. Otherwise, wait for something overt.

"Ratting" has different meaning and consequence in gang politics. Even being accused of ratting can earn you a death sentence on the spot, depending on what gang you're dealing with.

The only time I've called the cops was when a large fight broke out in front of a frat house. If it had just been a couple of guys who were up to no good and started making trouble my neighborhood, I wouldn't have bothered with 911. Really it just seemed to me like someone could have really gotten hurt beyond just a black eye and bruised ego, so at that point I called the cops.

Taco bell burritos seem more deadly than the HA 81, I mean, they have a website with a FAQ section and everything.

OC NMo word on blind person cop ID?

I called the police 2 weeks ago. I was driving down the street and passed my old elementary school. I saw some teenagers gathered around a door and window, which was especially odd since it was a saturday afternoon. Then I saw a couple of them break in. I wasn't exactly afraid for my life, but it was a clear violation of the law so I didn't hesitate.

XN: Not yet... the few sergeants I've talked to about it give me a modified :wtf: whenever I ask. *wry chuckle*

I got in one little fight and my mom got scared and she said: "You movin to yo auntie an' uncle in Bel-Air."

neon ninja, as usual, either makes me feel sad for him or makes me laugh. This thread is in the latter! Oh Hells Angels.

"This neighborhood is so tough when you see a cop, you call the Hell's Angels, man."

I don't like the direction this thread is going. I'm calling the cops.
