Hunter S. Thompson R.I.P.

Truly sad.

Intentionally. It seems a broken leg and hip surgery had left him depressed.

man...definite bummer.

He was a gun lover. One wonders if he had been drinking heavily when he shot himself. I will miss him, for one. I remember, very fondly, his short article called "Jimmy Carter's Law and Order Speech". I think that one was in the "Great Shark Hunt" collection of his writings.

Running for Sherrif on the Freak Party ticket was truly inspired.

I heard more later, and it does sound to have been intentional. I hadn't heard of the recent surgeries, tough I personally always considered suicide a cop out, maybe beetlejuice had it right, and when I die, Hunte will be filing my application for something!

Really sorry he's gone, I never got to drink with him.... though I doubt I could have come close to keeping up!
