I thought the HA was certainly having some fun sparring, getting his point across and getting some laughs but I certainly think he would have knocked Hunter into the next week if he stepped over the line. I got the impression Hunter was getting close to that edge. Bottom line, regardless of Hunter getting a a$$ beating he still should of followed through on the promised kegs and books. How much a keg of beer back then $10-$15 bucks?? Cheap a$$. No matter what follow through on your word otherwise your a scumbag. I loved the backdrop of the audience. Straight and as pure as Kansas corn and the smoking on TV cracks me up.

A group of the Hells Angles beat him senseless and put him in the hospital over the book. They expected it to be a positive thing for their club and he revealed a lot of things like gang rape, beatings, etc. that did not project the image they wanted. He was an amazing writer who wrote a lot about motorcycling.
I find it a bit disturbing that people are saying Thompson was wrong for holding the opinion that real men don't senseless assault women and dogs.
However, even if they had attacked him because they were unhappy with the book, which was not the reason for the assault, that too would have been wrong.
Again, it's disturbing that people here would cheer the actions of bullies.

No, he got assaulted because he objected to a Hells Angle assaulting a women and beating a dog.
