They're people. Some of them are really bad guys, some lost souls. They are frequently violent. They do do some good (e.g., annual Christmas run for Toys for Tots). They're known as drug traffickers for good reason. Their treatment of women is abysmal at best but, for some odd reason, they do seem to respect their elders and are gentle around children. At least this was the case with the Angels I knew in the 70s, 80s and 90s. I have my doubts that they've changed all that much. They are not people I want as neighbors but they do make great protectors.
