Semantics

Recently, the Hell's Angels held their yearly gathering in a little town in Northwest Wyoming. The local newspaper had been gearing up for this to be one of the year's biggest news events and ran daily features on the preparations the town was making, the increased law enforcement, and the anticipated troubles the scary biker dudes were going to cause.

In short, the bikers came, they behaved themselves, then they left. The local police claim there were a total of two arrests during the time the Angels were there. Two. Apparently, there were more complaints from the locals about the increased police presence than about the bikers themselves.

The newspaper here in town seems unwilling to drop the subject. A couple of days ago, they ran ANOTHER story about it in which the county sheriff claimed one of the Angels had "intimidated" his 9 year old daughter. The guy came up to the little girl and asked if she was the sheriff's daughter. Then, he showed her the patches on his jacket that showed he was a Hell's Angel.

Folks, that's not intimidation. That's called small talk.
