Ottawa, Canada (July 25, 2016) The police expected trouble but were extremely disappointed when the Hells Angels MC rode into town late last week and then rumbled back out on Sunday without trouble.
Despite all the unwarranted fanfare among police agencies about the "Biker Gang" showing up, nothing happened, no rapes, no murders, no robberies. In fact, the police looked bored.

Both the Central and East divisions of the Ottawa police reported Sunday that there were no incidents involving members of the Hells Angels on the weekend, when members of the motorcycle club congregated at a Carlsbad Springs clubhouse for a national gathering called Canada Run.
