Lets do quick review. Hunter tries to get on the stage, The Hells Angels force him back, he tries again, one grabs him punches him in the head and chases him away. He comes back, his girlfriend begs him not to, he pulls gun on The Hells Angels, they kill him. Pulls a gun on THE HELLS ANGELS, his last mistake.
@1h8u2be lies because there are laws on drugs now and the normal people dont use them only the street gangs who use and/or sell them. So put a law on guns and take them out of normal peoples hands and put them into the people already breaking the law. That's very smart of you.
@1h8u2be Thats the ticket. Now , more people die from cars every year compared to guns. Shouldn't we ban cars, there deadlier then guns? Make strict laws on who can own a car.
@MegaBigTruckDriver Actually, people should have to pass a test to be parents. It's people, after all, who drive the cars and shoot the guns. Firing a penis can have serious consequences for innocent bystanders. ;-P
I believe that if you look into 4.08 mins. into this video you will see Harry The Horse Flamburis,who later becomes the 1976 Pres. of the S.F. Chapter of the H.A.'s., who is standing just to the right of Mick Jagger..Harry was an H.A. most of his life. He was the most stand up guy that I ever met. Harry hated injustice,liers and hypocrisy, and was willing to die for what he believed.. He believed in the HA's. He wasn't a lay down. May he rest in peace. His brother Richie
The Hell's Angels stopped Mick Jagger and possibly others from being killed. Guy was a nut, and I think $ 500 worth of beer is a damn good price for security that stops a guy like that.
Worst nightmare in R&R History, Mick and Keith showed a ton of courage, I don;'t think Keef was even scared. Sad a young man died, but he pulled a gun. John Lennnon wasn't so lucky.
Jagger said before the event it was intended to create 'a microcosmic society which sets an example to the rest of America as to how one can behave in large gatherings' (as if Woodstock hadn't already done that).
Conservative interests had a motivation to see that this event went disastrously wrong in order to discredit the youth movement and the revolution that was in the air.
Even without the murder the scenes of violence all day would have been considered money well spent.
This whole mess was clearly a dreadful miscalculation by the marketing team around the stones who thought it a novel idea to have the oakland angels and a few other chapters provide security at a massive open air event. What would a loose collection of otherwise immature men with a fetish for 2 wheeled chainsaws know about the art of crowd control? Other than kicking the shit out of people, not much. But hey, at least Mick and the boys managed to polish their bad boy image and it only cost one
Yeah, go ahead and slither away you worthless fuck. Just be sure and give me a shout when some buck nigger has you bent over a log and fucking you in the ass so I can come and piss on your head.
You're being ass fucked by one nigger, sucking off another and jacking off two more and you call me pathetic? How much nigger cum have you drunk anyway??
@dratsabREVIEWS Yes, because usually they are. I have known some racist who aren't of course but most people I've encountered who are against another race are dumb rednecks.
Some idiots post on here. It seems people want someone to be shot before action is taken. He brought a gun/acquired a gun at a music concert. He was a danger to everyone, I don't condone death but some people are too dangerous.
The only thing the hell's Angels should ever be hired so is to clean the toilets in the jailhouse. Whoever thought of hiring these creatures for "security" had rocks in their head.
“I saw what he was looking at, that he was crazy, he was on drugs, and that he had murderous intent. There was no doubt in my mind that he intended to do terrible harm to Mick or somebody in the Rolling Stones, or somebody on that stage." - Patty Bredahoff, Hunter's girlfriend
I don't condone violence but if Passaro hadn't done anything maybe the Rolling Stones would as many as the Beatles.
@spareaxe Did you catch the part where he had a gun? Oops! Also, everyone was high on meth and if the Stones had of left the stage, many more people probably would have died...
@LomtickofToast He didn't shoot anyone, those other idiots were fighting anyone close and I didn't see anyone else causing trouble ...it was a fucking mistake to think gang member's are great security.
@DeckApe85 Well, moron...he wouldn't have if the drunken bikers weren't the security for that idiot jagger and fighting with the crowd all the time for no reason.
@TheOlpaddywalsh ha,ha, very usual of a sad and pathetic coward like you, probably cuz in real life u are everybody`s bitch , and u must be scared of black ppl , so u run to you PC and write such things like that ,cuz if u had one black man in front of u? ha,ha just shit your pantas, how pathetic is that? anyway , there is pathetic cowards everywhere, u think u are tough, here on youtube well....
@jeanmanuel77 i live in a town where theres like 1 black for every 50 or so white. i have black friends. we joke around and call them koons and stuff all the time. but in my opinion theres a difference between black people and niggers. just like theres a difference between whites and white trash. ive met many o'coloured people that agree with me
maybe if meredith didn't pull a gun he would be still alive today. maybe the bikie saved someones life, who knows. maybe if it rained that day they would have called the whole thing off.
if you listen to the soundtrack from the guys who were there,not from the Mayles brothers in this movie,the stabbing was during sympathy for the devil,not this song,download the soundtrack and see for yourself,
@SeniorConcha Contrary to poular belief,he wasn't trying to shoot Jagger,or any other Stone.He was trying to intimidate a biker that had just slugged him.Apparently,he was hopped up on speed,and getting punched sent him into an uncontrolable rage.Q;what do you do when you see several people get beaten bloody for trying to get on the stage?A;Stay away from the damn stage!!! If Hunter had done that,he may have lived throught the night.
@Tomboy91xoxo His name was Alan Passero.Several months later he was tried for murder,and acquited.In March,1985,his body was found floating in the Anderson reservoir,with $10,000 in his pocket.That case is still unsolved.
5-22 yes man, ain't that a shame... and you're the one to blame... that's the cost of your "cool out" - one man's life... there's really something to thing about. The energy of the band is destuctive unfortunatelly...
@indyracingnut Had it been the actual cops, they wouldn't have aggressively used bicycle chains and pool sticks and shit to beat up people in the crowd. Wikipedia says that mr hunter pulled a gun after being assaulted by a hells angel. Conflict is a two way street, you cant justify slaughter like that by saying he "would have" died anyway, thats bullshit.
@comradesean1 Fuck. How old are you? not very I suspect.
– Had it been the actual cops, they wouldn't have aggressively used bicycle chains…
What fucking world are you living in?
– Wikipedia says…
And who else does? Do you honestly think that anybody can give a clear explanation of what happened in those split seconds? You can probably deduce from this that Wikipedia's references aren't necessarily dependable.
The man had a gun. Was he going to scratch his arse with it? It's a lethal weapon, and nothing else. Ironically a knife can ALSO be used for chopping onions. Thank fuck someone managed to put the fella down.
Hell's Angels have a much worse rep than they deserve, mainly because of police propaganda. (Yes! The police DO these things!) They wanted to live outside of society. Fair enough. That doesn't make them knife murderers by default.
Much as loathe the thuggish hell's angels ,this meredith hunter brought it on himself and no he wasn't knifed because he was black, it was because he had a gun in his hand.
@vashna3799 I disagree with that statement completely. Apparently, the Hells Angels had been harrassing him and his girlfriend the entire night. He felt that his and his girlfriend's safety was at risk, and pulled out a weapon, which I'm convinced he had no intention of using unless things got really out of hand. The biker should not have stabbed him, period.
@mwells219 And which peaceful utopia do live were people are aloud to brandish loaded guns ,threaten to use them and not suffer the consequences ? Do tell us, smart man, I'm in the mood for taking on a self-righteous pacifist.
a drugged, tall black man, wearing a bright lime suit, bring a large gun at a peace and love concert, then raise it toward the stage... what could go wrong?
Uh... yes, you shouldn't hire the Hell's Angels as security, but do you really think that was accidental or just someone's bad idea? It was planned (for a reason) as was the lack of food and water, the waiting, the unsanitary conditions, and the over-abundance of drugs.
@jimbrown257 That's because he was terrified something would happen. He'd already been punched in the face by someone in the crowd. Can't blame him really, I'd be bricking it.
"He'd already been punched in the face by someone in the crowd."
...When did Jagger get punched? They mentioned someone punched Marty Balin in the face when Jefferson Airplane was on stage but I didn't hear them mention anything about Jagger getting hit. Did I miss it?
I would bet my entire savings that Mr. Hunter was going after hells angels rather than the Stones. That's at least one reason why using the angels as protection was retarded
Guns are pretty easy to fire. It looks like he whipped it out and expected everyone to back off without the idea to shooting any specific person
On that note, hells angels are fucking pussies. You beat a man to death because he says something bad about another angel? Grow some thicker skin, my overweight unkempt friend.
@sensistar49 No that is not what was going on. Meredith Hunter was on a crap load of drugs and his girlfriend even knew he was trying to kill one of the Stones. She tried stopping him but he wouldn't. Honestly what the Angels did was wrong, but that guy was out to kill so the Angels did probably save some lives.
The Hell's Angels may be lawless nut jobs, but who fuckin brings a gun to a fuckin show. Other lawless nut jobs, that's who. Who waves a gun around after ingesting LSD and ampthetamines. Some way in some form he was lookin for trouble, and trouble will showed up. Think about if that Hell's Angel didn't off Meredith Hunter right away, today we could be Stones-less.
when they openly said the wouldnt be there to police anything, they were there to have a good time. The sheer fact that one of them attacked an artist shows how stupid a plan it was on jagger and the managers parts
actually the problem was the organisation of the event in general, the changing of venue last minute meant there was no preplanning, the fact that they wanted to be seen as with the people led to the low stage without a perimeter, and the stupid belief that using hells angels as security would be a good idea
The problem with Altamont is they didn't put in the logistics of constructing a proper stage , eleveted over the crowd at a height of 4 feet ,Then there should have been constructed an outer perimater fence at a radious extending atleast 30 feet
The Grateful Dead recommended the Hell's Angels as security...and in the film, you see the Dead arrive on the tarmac for the show and, when told of the chaos, turn around and LEAVE.
HA.
Apparently the English Hell's Angels were more mellow, so the Stones assumed these guys would be similar.
@tgillspy1 Its not an issue of "who has the authority" the laws governing self-defense apply to anybody. Police officer or NOT. The law states that you may defend yourself if attacked, and you may defend others who are being attacked. The method you use cannot escallate the altercation however. Example: If someone punches you, you'll have a hard time defending shooting them. However, Merdith brandished a firearm, meeting potential deadly force with deadly force is legal.
The Hells Angels probably instigated this fight. They were all drunk and sky high by 6pm. They should have hired regular security; not 40 year old adolescents who still think they're in high school. But, I agree that the black guy shouldn't have brought the gun there in the first place.
@tgillspy1 Somebody pulls a gun in a heated situation. It is justifiable homicide, regardless of who the firearm was pointed at. The courts saw it that way and if you dont... Well, you're entitled to your opinion.... I just quote the law.
goddamn those motherfuckers really came through on this one. way to go hells angels! dumbass brought a gun to a knife fight......... and lost hahahaha
@mollybella1000 i believe that the stones had some prior concerts in england where someone had hired the england hells angels to do security and it went off without a hitch.Promotor ,agent or whoever should have done more research on our hells angels.
"i seriously don't know why you would hire a bikie gang as peace keepers, who's idea was that. Crazy" It's only crazy from a modern day perspective. At the time, the attitude was that nothing bad could happen and this was an entirely peaceful youth movement. The Hell's Angels as security was mostly a publicity stunt. After Woodstock was such a success, they really didn't think they'd need security.
In fact, this is the quintessential event that changed that attitude.
@mollybella1000 Hells Angels were recommended by the Grateful Dead. The Dead used them in the past without incident. They should have never been allowed to park their motorcycles near the stage though. They were looking for trouble since nobody ever lays a finger on thier bikes. I have to say though, Meredith in the crowd did pull out a gun to shoot at the Stones. Now, whether or not the Hells Angels should have stabbed him to death is another story.
@mollybella1000 It's a complicated situation, but depending on how you look at it, the guy who stabbed Hunter probably saved someone in that crowd from getting shot. The behavior of people on all sides at this concert was reprehensible.
@mollybella1000 It was Sam Cutler's idea. The Hells Angels were paid in beer to sit on the stage and keep people from "fing with the equipment and stage." they were not to be a police force. The Hells Angels knocked out the lead singer to Jefferson Airplane, and the Greatful Dead refused to play before the Stones because of the "bad vibes" of the crowd.
@AlchemyOmega and @Gngrcpl They already took the gun from his hands when they started stabbing him, though. And I don't think he wanted to shoot anyone on the stage, maybe those security guyss, but not the Stones.
@DeckApe85 The threat was already neutralized when the gun left his hands. Killing him was just a mistake, probably due to the sudden chaos and a whole load of drugs and alcohol.
@agneumeyer "If you were to pull a colt in an airport, you would be killed" Maybe in the US you would. In other countries you will get overpowered and go to prison, which is the more civilized thing to do.
agreed the flight or fight syndrom you only have seconds to decide if the person will shoot you or not....natural instincts and self preservation set in...its like a reflex if you pull a gun on me if only a baseball bat is avaiable I'm going to retalliate for sure....
The guys who were hired to protect protected. The guy was intending to kill, that's why people have guns, no matter what his mom says. He didn't kill and was killed instead. That's how it works. If you were to pull a colt in an airport, you would be killed, and no one would care. You would be known as "That asshole who pulled the Colt in LAX".
You can clearly see Meredith pointing his gun to the stage, People in front of him dive to the ground so that confirms it. He intended to kill and got killed.
@loveyou9512 if someone pulls out a gun you absolutely have the right to take them out. Are you serious? When someone sees a gun pulled on them their instincts take over and their natural reaction is to save the self and those around them
If you look at where Meredith's arm was aiming, there is a group of Hell's Angels standing there. It was self-defence to stab him. Having said that, I watched the entire film Gimme Shelter and you can clearly see that from the moment the Angels pulled up on their bikes everything went to shit. They were beating the crap out of people in the crowd ALL DAY with pool cues. They even knocked out Marty Balin from Jefferson Airplane when he tried stopping them.
Can anyone confirm if the white girl crying, who is most likely Meredith's girlfriend, Terri Garr? It sure looks and sounds like her in the video. LOL just checking?
Finally: some people call Mr. Hunter a victim and this Hells Angel a cold blooded murder. Let me ask you something: if that man would have watched Mr. Hunter killing Mick Jagger, how would you call him today?
@SinusPlexus That's a totally different scenario. There is absolutely no way of telling if Meredith was going to shoot Jagger or if he had the intention of killing him. That is why the Angel is a cold blooded murderer. If Meredith shot and killed Jagger, then Meredith would be a cold blooded murderer and we would wonder why the Angel didn't step in to stop him. And stopping him doesn't have to mean killing him. I don't see why that is so difficult for people to comprehend.
@loveyou9512 Had he killed ANYONE (he was whacked out on drugs, he could have done harm to anyone) THAT would have been cold blooded murder too!! He got what he had coming to him, and eventually, so did Passaro. Period.
First of all: in that moment you decide to grab a gun while standing in the first rows in front of a famous person/band etc. - you agree to die for that. And it really does not matter in this situation wether you are on drugs or just had a bad day. Because no bodyguard can, want or has to get to know WHY you are intending to shoot someone. Imagine you have to react INSTANTLY, surrounded by thousands of people, watching one of them pulling out a gun and do not know if there might be accomplices,
The Angels certainly didn't help making a good day.They were just hitting people with pool sticks all day long. They wanted their bikes in front of the stage. Well, obviously, with such a crowd there was going to be surges towards the (small) stage and the machines were going to get stomped.It was so obvious.They were so high and drunk too. The festival should just have been postponed and properly organized, with a real stage that could be seen, doctors and another security.What a waste.
Alan Passaro was acquitted of the murder of Meredith Hunter. Hunter's mother, Altha May Anderson, sued the Rolling Stones for $500,000. She got $10,000. In 1985, Passaro was found dead, floating in the Anderson Reservoir with $10,000 in his pocket.
This is idiotic. No one here is in the right. Meredith was high as hell, you can tell by how he's walking, and the general state of the crowd. Also, the Angels set a new precedent for terrible security. No one was right or wrong.
The hells angels hassled him for going out with that white girl and hunter got fed up with it and thats when he pulled out his gun and the hells angels preceded to stab him fatally. Hells Angels shouldn't have been there.
@HenryKeepsItReal I think he was hassled too.We don't see the whole scene but to me, it's quite obvious Meredith was running away from something here and probably pulling out his gun in reaction to that.I read something from one of the angels saying "we had noticed him during the day, we had an eye on him".I never bought the "he was going to shoot Mick Jagger" bit. It just doesn't look like it to me. Pulling out a gun when surrounded by the angels was obviously wrong he shoudn't have done that:(
@HenryKeepsItReal well actually i have heard that fans were running up on stage, at one point Hunter tried to do the same, but the angels pushed him and punched him in the head, so he gets angry, gose back in the crowd, gets his gun and runs through the crowd heading for the angels near stage front that had punched him early on, but he gets caught, stabbed and 5 times and kicked. I have never heard that it had anything to do with him being with a white girl....
@HenryKeepsItReal Read up on things bud, The Hells Angels were there as bodyguards, Meredith Hunter was higher than a fucking kite and trying to climb up onto the stage. They pushed him off the stage,he came back with a gun, so they stabbed him. He had every intention of hurting one of the stones.
@AlexTheElusive thats what ive always heard, and i think he was heading to shoot one of the angels that had pushed him. I dont think it had anything to do with race. Plus the Hells angels were in a real bad mood at that show because the crowd kept knocking over their bikes, so take a giant crowd of hippies high on every drug known to man, then add a bunch of drunk pissed off hells angels its actually a damn miracle that it wasnt a massacre.
The Angels were not, strictly speaking, hired as 'security'. They were hired to keep people off the fucking stage. Their job was described as basically "sit at the front of the stage, drink this free beer and make sure nobody fucks with the bands or equipment." That's pretty much what they did, with exception to fucking with some of the bands themselves. Which was never specifically prohibited. Cutler possibly should have mentioned that. Live and learn. Unless you pull a gun near bikers.
Lets do quick review. Hunter tries to get on the stage, The Hells Angels force him back, he tries again, one grabs him punches him in the head and chases him away. He comes back, his girlfriend begs him not to, he pulls gun on The Hells Angels, they kill him. Pulls a gun on THE HELLS ANGELS, his last mistake.

#1) It was NOT the Rolling Stones' idea to hire the Hell's Angels for security. That was the concert promoter's decision.
#2) If it had been the actual cops, they probably would have shot Mr. Hunter after he pulled that gun.
Either way, Mr Hunter was going to die that night.
But in my mind, something else died that night....The spirit of the 60's.

The man had a gun. Was he going to scratch his arse with it? It's a lethal weapon, and nothing else. Ironically a knife can ALSO be used for chopping onions. Thank fuck someone managed to put the fella down.
Hell's Angels have a much worse rep than they deserve, mainly because of police propaganda. (Yes! The police DO these things!) They wanted to live outside of society. Fair enough. That doesn't make them knife murderers by default.

@vashna3799 I disagree with that statement completely. Apparently, the Hells Angels had been harrassing him and his girlfriend the entire night.

I would bet my entire savings that Mr. Hunter was going after hells angels rather than the Stones. That's at least one reason why using the angels as protection was retarded
Guns are pretty easy to fire. It looks like he whipped it out and expected everyone to back off without the idea to shooting any specific person
On that note, hells angels are fucking pussies. You beat a man to death because he says something bad about another angel? Grow some thicker skin, my overweight unkempt friend.

@tgillspy1 Its not an issue of "who has the authority" the laws governing self-defense apply to anybody. Police officer or NOT. The law states that you may defend yourself if attacked, and you may defend others who are being attacked. The method you use cannot escallate the altercation however. Example: If someone punches you, you'll have a hard time defending shooting them. However, Merdith brandished a firearm, meeting potential deadly force with deadly force is legal.

The Hells Angels probably instigated this fight. They were all drunk and sky high by 6pm. They should have hired regular security; not 40 year old adolescents who still think they're in high school. But, I agree that the black guy shouldn't have brought the gun there in the first place.

"i seriously don't know why you would hire a bikie gang as peace keepers, who's idea was that. Crazy" It's only crazy from a modern day perspective. At the time, the attitude was that nothing bad could happen and this was an entirely peaceful youth movement. The Hell's Angels as security was mostly a publicity stunt. After Woodstock was such a success, they really didn't think they'd need security.
In fact, this is the quintessential event that changed that attitude.

@mollybella1000 Hells Angels were recommended by the Grateful Dead. The Dead used them in the past without incident. They should have never been allowed to park their motorcycles near the stage though. They were looking for trouble since nobody ever lays a finger on thier bikes. I have to say though, Meredith in the crowd did pull out a gun to shoot at the Stones. Now, whether or not the Hells Angels should have stabbed him to death is another story.

If you look at where Meredith's arm was aiming, there is a group of Hell's Angels standing there. It was self-defence to stab him. Having said that, I watched the entire film Gimme Shelter and you can clearly see that from the moment the Angels pulled up on their bikes everything went to shit. They were beating the crap out of people in the crowd ALL DAY with pool cues. They even knocked out Marty Balin from Jefferson Airplane when he tried stopping them.

@SinusPlexus That's a totally different scenario. There is absolutely no way of telling if Meredith was going to shoot Jagger or if he had the intention of killing him. That is why the Angel is a cold blooded murderer. If Meredith shot and killed Jagger, then Meredith would be a cold blooded murderer and we would wonder why the Angel didn't step in to stop him. And stopping him doesn't have to mean killing him. I don't see why that is so difficult for people to comprehend.

@HenryKeepsItReal I think he was hassled too.We don't see the whole scene but to me, it's quite obvious Meredith was running away from something here and probably pulling out his gun in reaction to that.I read something from one of the angels saying "we had noticed him during the day, we had an eye on him".I never bought the "he was going to shoot Mick Jagger" bit. It just doesn't look like it to me. Pulling out a gun when surrounded by the angels was obviously wrong he shoudn't have done that:(

@HenryKeepsItReal well actually i have heard that fans were running up on stage, at one point Hunter tried to do the same, but the angels pushed him and punched him in the head, so he gets angry, gose back in the crowd, gets his gun and runs through the crowd heading for the angels near stage front that had punched him early on, but he gets caught, stabbed and 5 times and kicked. I have never heard that it had anything to do with him being with a white girl....

The Angels were not, strictly speaking, hired as 'security'. They were hired to keep people off the fucking stage. Their job was described as basically "sit at the front of the stage, drink this free beer and make sure nobody fucks with the bands or equipment." That's pretty much what they did, with exception to fucking with some of the bands themselves. Which was never specifically prohibited. Cutler possibly should have mentioned that. Live and learn.
