Shootout in Sturgis: Hell's Ang[l]els and Stormy Seattle Police Detectives

The U.S. Census says Dakota and Montana Territory is not the frontier anymore, but I keep coming across evidence that suggests otherwise. Click on the link: a case in point. Anyone ever read Hunter Thompson's, Hell's Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga? Pretty good.

What's a Hell's Angle? One which is neither acute, not right, nor obtuse?

Perhaps, AI. Perhaps. If you want to see what I'm referring to, click here for the FBI file on them. They are a motorcycle, ah, "club" with various chapters. I think they originated in the Oakland area of California, post-WWII.

...and the title has since been corrected. Maybe you should've majored in English, or Languages? The Classics, perhaps?

Actually, I kinda like the notion of a Hell Angle. Just gotta define me one.

Hell Angels -- yes, I remember them. Didn't they beat up some guy to death at a Stones concert in Altoona sometimes in the late 60s? I thought they'd be out of the picture by now. What's the angle on that?
