Many were wearing knives.

At the time I was getting around with a walker. As I approached the door to leave, one of them came over and held the door for me and gave me a pleasant smile. You can't judge entirely on appearance.

Of course in a different situation they were probably capable of very nasty behavior.

Sounds like a group I would rather have in my corner during a problem. I traveled extensively before I retired. The one thing I learned is the way some one looks does not indicate what's in their heart. Some of the worst crimes have come from some of the nicest looking people.
