Rest in Peace Hunter Thompson

[Dick Justice]

Uh, yeah. I'm gonna have to disagree about the harsh view on suicide, there. My two cents. Anybody know about Hey Rube?

Born July 18, 1937, in Kentucky, Hunter Stocton Thompson served two years in the Air Force, where he was a newspaper sports editor. He later became a proud member of the National Rifle Association and almost was elected sheriff in Aspen in 1970 under the Freak Power Party banner.


Thompson's heyday came in the 1970s, when his larger-than-life persona was gobbled up by magazines. His pieces were of legendary length and so was his appetite for adventure and trouble; his purported fights with Rolling Stone editor Jann Wenner were rumored in many cases to hinge on expense accounts for stories that didn't materialize.

"It was hard to say sometimes whether he was being provocative for its own sake or if he was just being drunk and stoned and irresponsible," quipped Krassner, founder of the leftist publication The Realist and co-founder of the Youth International (YIPPIE) party.

I really loved this man's work and views. I read Hells Angels and Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas this year (the book puts the movie to shame). It's really sad he killed himself, although I read he left a note. I don't condone suicide, but I'm guessing he had his reasons. But Torog, please don't try to drag liberalism into everything that society looks down upon (we aren't communists, we aren't trying to destroy America, we just have different theologies. Of course you think your way is the only right way, otherwise why would you believe it? Just try to respect us at least). I'm sure you know how bad someones life must be when commit suicide (not attempting, but actually DOING it). I had a half brother who killed himself due to a heroin addiction... it's not easy to handle. I was in the sixth grade when all this happened, and considering drugs were unheard of in this area (well, as a kid, and in my mind), I had NO idea how to feel. Should I have felt better there was one less low life on the streets? After all, he was a druggie. Should I be angry because he killed himself and now he's going straight to hell if there is one? This isn't something a 10-12 year old kid should go through.

Thompson accomplished much in his life, and getting on in his years, he had slowed down the pace of his life durastically. Did he ever have a chance to live day by day as a normal person, with not that much happening in his life? Did it drive him insane that he served his purpose, and now he had to wait for death? I hate to say it, but when it's your time to go... it's your time to go. Suicide or not. My step brother didn't have much of a future left anyways, nor did Thompson. Tupac and Biggie died at their peak. The men at the Alamo died at their peak. Your death is how you're remembered in many cases, this will be one. Many famous literary figures who have contributed much to society, have commited suicide, maybe there's a pattern in most of them. Maybe there is a link between maniac depressives and being able to convey emotions in a specfic way or form?

Who knows. I'll miss this man, I was devestated when I found out, suicide or not.

I will host his lecture at Boulder University from 1977, if anyone wants to here it.

P.S.

Torog, Hunter wasn't really a fan of Nixon... at all, and more than likely most conservatives, so I'm sure he wouldn't miss you either if he died.

Recently,a liberal female proffessor,killed her baby and then herself,the immediate reaction of her liberal comrads,was to glorify her with a plaque dedicated to her life..Liberalism,is a brain-disorder..but don't worry..there's plenty of help available folks.

... What? I don't know where you heard this, it might be true, but not all people with a liberal mindset would think such a thing. I don't condone murder nor suicide. Why give her a plaque? Because she killed herself and now she gets a trophy? Sorry Torog, but I don't think ANY sane minded person would do that. They are the people with the brain disorder, not liberals.

R.I.P Hunter S Thompson... You will be missed.

[Encatuse]

Hunter - You lived a great life, and I suppose if suicide was your choice, then so be it. Im sorry you had to die while I was so young. But now, that's just me being selfish.


Torog, I'm not usually this way...

But fuck you dude. Jesus fucking christ Torog, don't be such a douche and smoke a joint for a dead man. You sound like the only selfish one here Torog. SOMEONE FUCKING DIED but you can't stop ranting about all that liberal bullshit for one second to say RIP?

Suicide is 'wrong' I agree. Doesn't mean we shouldn't mourn suicide's just as much as any other death.
