You don’t think they have built that public image themselves?
If we are to dehumanize career criminals, there are countless thugs, gangs, despots, governments, and militaries with far fewer scruples and a far worse legacy than the Hell’s Angels.

but the point is, dehumanization is anathema to civilized society.

Cool - no worries. Pardon if that sounded like an accusation.
