About Hunter S. Thompson's death

I don't know about you, but after I read an artice at http://www.davidcogswell.com/ I believe that Thompson's death was not suicide at all...

<snip>

On February 25, the Associated Press tells us that "Thompson shot self while talking with wife". (Or in the Star Tribune version: "Hunter Thompson shot himself while wife listened on phone, she says".)

According to the AP report, "She said her husband had asked her to come home from a health club so they could work on his weekly ESPN column -- but instead of saying goodbye, he set the telephone down and shot himself."

Hey baby, why don't you come home so you can work on my ESPN column with me and excuse me just a minute, I'm going to put down the phone and shoot myself.

According to the article, "Thompson said she heard a loud, muffled noise, but didn't know what had happened. 'I was waiting for him to get back on the phone,' she said. (Her account to Rocky Mountain News reporter Jeff Kass is slightly different: 'I did not hear any bang,' she told Kass. She added that Thompson's son, who was in the house at the time, believed that a book had fallen when he heard the shot, according to Kass' report.)"

We report, you decide. In the context above, Thompson is having a routine conversation with his wife. He is not distressed. Suddenly he puts down the phone. She hears a "muffled noise," she says. She says it's not a "bang". Thompson's son was in the house and thought he heard a book fall.

As the Infowars site suggests, this scenario perfectly fits a killing by a hitman with a silencer. It does not fit a suicide without a good deal of bending.

What do you think?

and they're right, it just doesn't add up

His family knows him and what was going on in his life better than the author of that article or anybody at DU. So if they don't have reason to question his death I don't either.

on Imus that he was despondent about his health and was in a wheelchair. She and her husband were very good friends of his.

Dr. Thompson was the reason I majored in the mother language. I have read pretty much everything he ever wrote, and lived the lifestyle for two decades. He went out just the way I would have imagined...on his terms. It's better to burn out, than fade away.

is we will never know,tin foil hat to me equalls the case closed beliefes of republitards too afraid to wonder about anything and buy into the authoritarian paid for answers to questions.
Gonzo was gonzo and we will never know,but we should be able to wonder.

RIP :evilfrown: - Give Nixon Hell For ME! I'll help hold down the fort here!

to predict his own assassination prior to offing himself . . . just to fuck with our heads, don'tcha know . . .

I've wanted to kill myself in the middle of dozens of perfectly normal conversations with my wife, and I'm not half the wack job HST was.

Suspicious, especially given what he was working on, but . . .

but it was poo-pooed away....hey, to honor Hunter, we should consider it....Hunter was TOUGH, not one to whimp out, or bitch about a broken leg or whatever....while some want us to believe that TOUGH Hunter was too sissied out about a broken leg and had to KILL himself, for me, it's just unbelievable....


there were LOTS of people with grudges against Hunter Thompson....especially, bushites.....hell, bush* close friend, prince bandar, was Hunter's next door neighbor....and that guy is MEAN, real MEAN.....and another GREAT expose from Hunter would really hurt the bush* world-wide crusade and war-profiteering empire...

Hunter was working on another important book, about 911 and the bushites....something bush* has worked real hard to keep out of the spotlight....the Saudi royal family, the bushites, and 911 are just NEVER going to be revealed to the American public....and if that meant offing Hunter, wellllll, IMO, prince bandar and his bush* buddy would have no qualms at all....and what better HIT...while his wife is on the phone, just to let her KNOW....so she won't be tempted to publish anymore crap out of Hunter's pen....it's sort of like getting a horses head in your lap...your husband's death on the telephone....

He and his wife argued about it a lot the last few months,and it put quite a strain on their marriage. He telegraphed this a long way off.
