the *beep* guy was gonna shoot someone!!


i have NO remorse for this hunter kid. his name is HUNTER. he was about to KILL somebody! even if he was aiming the gun at the hells angel, the hells angel has every right to stab the guy in self defense. if he was aiming the gun at anybody else, he was about to kill somebody who was innocent! he was on METH and waving a gun around! i have no sympathy for what happened to him.

Meredith Hunter was in the green suit. I have seen Gimme Shelter 3-4 times and I never saw him brandish a weapon. I googled it and it does say he pull out a pistol. The Hell's Angel who stabbed him to death was acquitted on self defense. Tragedy all around anyway you look at it. His girlfriend testified he was high on drugs. A sad moment in history.

It is pretty clear he is holding a gun. Was that ever debated?
