hunter thompson was found dead in his home in aspen, he commited sucide with a gun wound to the head, his son found him......man that is really sad
I heard about this last night. So sorry that life became too much for him that he has to take it away. May he find peace whereever he is.
...i just can't help but think that there is more to it than that...i don't know....i get a weird vibe about it all....
yeah sad news. I saw video footage of him on the news doing a cartwheel in the grass and it brought a smile to my face.
Thompson was my most favorite writer, by far. This is truly a great loss to American writing. May the lord have mercy on HST.
I just obtained, through the powers of the internet, HST's appearance on Conan O'Brian. Very funny footage of Conan and Thompson firing guns. I wish we would take a day of appreciation in my journalism class to admire HST and his works.
I agree. I think he deserves at least a moment of silence. This is very sad. I couldn't believe it at first. This is a sad day indeed. Thank you all for caring. RIP Dr. Thompson.
Why should there be a moment of silence because he killed himself? What? Life sucks so you fuckin kill yourself? Oh nice. Way to destroy your family and your friends. Im sure thats the way a son wants to remember his father. Bleeding on the floor with a hole in his head. And this is a tragedy because? OH! I know! Maybe Courtney Love Killed HIm! Yeah thats it! And before some of you maggots start crying let me inform you that I have had a good friend kill himself and it sucks shit but he should have sucked it up and dealt with life and kept on truckin along with the rest of us. Yes he was a great author and should be remembered for that but just because he couldnt handle life is no excuse to feel sorry for him. Moment of silence my ass!
now i cant say this is for sure, but they say the good doctor was ill and not content to die anyway but on his own terms. I can respect that. When someone dies by their own hand its not for revenge. The most basic human emotion is self-preservation, and to lose the will to live is the most painful torture possible. Lets not direct anger towards suicide victims, they only wished to save themselves from their pain, and beleived there was only one way to do it. RIP HST When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. We will march on a road of bones. - Hunter S. Thompson

did any of you see the episode of conan where hunter and matt mcconnahey (however you spell it) were interviewd together. I loved it, they got along so well!!!!!!!! It was the most insane episode ever!!
What's so wrong with deciding to die by your own hand instead of dragging it out for years in some hospital, in constant pain and constraint, putting your family into debt (although the latter may not apply in this case, i'm sure hunter did quite well for himself over the years) and dragging the whole ordeal out for everyone? I really don't see where you get off attacking him, you could never understand being in that position.
