The Side of the Good in the Battle of Good V Evil has Lost One of its Bravest, Greatest Warrior-Poets. While Corrupt Generals and Lesser Foot Soldiers struggle onward the Loss of a true Hero, Hunter S. Thompson is felt deeply. Even the Degenerate Scum-****s on the side of Evil must Mourn the Loss of a Great Adversary.
Though Outward appearances May indicate otherwise, make no mistake that this Warrior died on the field of Battle, in Active Duty. Such was the Nature of His Bravery, he not only Risked his Life, as any Cowardly Fool may do, He Put his Sanity and Soul on the Line. Evil may have taken his Life, But they are Denied the Latter Two. Those who have seen the True Battle Field in this War Recognize this loss and will Take Strength in Remembrance of His Bravery.
Many Fools believe that the Battle of the Good V Evil can be Fought with Fear, Explosives, Bullets, and Cannon Fodder. It is Clearly Apparent to All who Have Seen the Battle Field that these Men Have been Had by the Enemy. Make No Mistake the Battle for Good can ONLY be fought with the Pursuit of Truth. Hunter S Thompson Risked it All in the Pursuit of the Truth and Died Sadly of Injuries Taken on the Field of Battle.

Post Script:
You may Think i am Full of Grandiose Horse ****, i may be, However i have sustained many different kinds of injuries in my Life and i Assure you: Injuries taken in the Pursuit of Truth are the Most Painful and Difficult in Healing.
what value does the opinion of an anonymous ,lily - livered, computer probing ,
Bush monkey have on who in life is heroic and who is not . The most testicular fortitude you've probably ever had is buying a playboy at 7 Eleven in front of other customers. Anonymous .... thats why HTS is a warrior in many aspects because his name was on all his opinions . No disrespect to Tillman ... he was a damned good man . Perhaps even a greater warrior by most standards . But by the standard you set , the Jesus of The christian lore never fought back , spoke words of rebellion , died not fighting and is he not a warrior of evil or what have you ? Look man do us all a favor and get off a sight paying respect to an admirable soul and go watch a Britney Spears marathon on MTV .. or go read that valiant playboy trophy you own. Christ!!! I need some more fricken bourbon to deal with these a holes!!!
I will miss him ... BIG HUG for Juan, Jen, Willam and Anita… who will never be able to fill the hole left in there lives by the man in spite of the myth and legend attached to his life..
I am a long time friend of Juan we went to the Aspen Community School together I have been using the blogs to try to send a message of love to him and the family but I know he is totally swamped because of the media attention at Owl farm and we need to let him know that we care for Him, Anita and the whole family in this time of tragedy while respecting his privacy
Let's see if we can get the word out ...
He was first the MAN….
He became the myth and legend
To me he was several people.
He was my best friend’s dad although he always called his dad Hunter
(At Juan’s wedding he said to a friend about me “Look there’s another little bastard I raised that turned out OK”)
He was Hunter S. Thompson retiring shy southerner who loved guns and his freedom
And
He was the Dr. Gonzo who we all know who would be in your face and try to kill you if you attempted to try to take away his guns, drugs, freedom, privacy and the god given right to go into an explosive tirade about it.
To be such a person required him to have a unique emotional support structure. These people now need our support, love and understanding in this time of grief.
Tillman and Thompson, were both warriors of the highest level, both doing what they beleived in deeply, what the hell are you fighting for? purpose is begat not bestowed, two soldiers both fighting for the freedom of another and themselves at the same time. ticket = ride, remember both of these men left things behind to find new ways and both met there end at the wrong end of a gun.
