Hells Angels are moving into my area for the first time. I have a generally negative view of them, but have some friends who feel otherwise. I would love to hear your experiences related to the Angels specifically, but "1%" clubs as well.

No need to qualify that you "did nothing," my friend. From what you described, you had the courage to stand up when drawing the short stick (because nothing made you follow through when you were "chosen") and then you kept yourself and everyone else as safe as possible by not retaliating. Can you imagine how things might have escalated if you had?

You have my sincere respect for what you've described here.
