My sister used to live across the street from the Angels' HQ around '90 or '91. Contrary to first expectations, they were a great crowd to have nearby, and actually added to the sense of community. One of the safest blocks in the area.

I have heard the exact same. They do keep the block safe. I'll never forget one night, maybe about 16 or 17 years ago my friend and I were walking home late on a Saturday night about 4 AM and some guy was taking a leak on the sidewalk directly across the street from the HA-HQ steps away from another spot where they parked their bikes. Wrong place, wrong time. As the guy was in mid-stream one of the Angels happened to be coming around the corner on his bike and without even stopping the engine he jumped off the bike, chased the guy down the block and even managed to nail him once in the head with his bike helmet. The urine guy got away with only that but it was like...whoa dude...watch where you're peeing!
