"In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity. "

This is an interview with Hunter S. Thompson from January 2003 that I just found. Hunter S. Thompson always was and always will be a hero of mine because he stood up for what is right, and he pointed a very loud and jagged finger at all of those who used their power for any and everything corrupt. He was a modern day hero and he will be remembered as such. Now I tried posting the interview once but blogger is stupid and it won't format it correctly (big fucking surprise). Hunter believed that 9/11 was an inside job and some sources say that he was even working on a story. This is from the 2003 interview (which you can read here), "Bush is really the evil one here and it is more than just him. We are the Nazis in this game and I don't like it. I am embarrassed and I am pissed off. I mean to say something. I think a lot of people in this country agree with me -...we'll see what happens to me if I get my head cut off next week -- it is always unknown or bushy-haired strangers who commit suicide right afterwards with no witnesses."

On Febuary 20th Hunter S. Thompson was found dead, from what authorities reported a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Thompson's family says he was not depressed, nor was he in enough to pain to kill himself. In fact, by all reports, he was quite happy. He was talking on the phone to his wife, getting ready to work on his column, when he decided it would be wise to kill himself, so that he could go out (we are told) while "still at the top of his form," even though this would mean not finishing his column or his expose on 9/11 (potentially the most important thing he would ever write).

...In addition, police found something odd about the gun Thompson supposedly used to kill himself. Deputy Ron Ryan said there was a spent shell casing, but there was no bullet in the firing chamber, as there should have been under normal circumstances. Sheriff's officer DiSalvo confirmed this opinion; "I think a bullet from the magazine should have cycled into the chamber".

The county coroner determined Thompson's death to be a suicide on February 21st. There was no CSI type of crime scene examination.
