Hunter most of his career peered into and attempted to understand the viscious mentality of the American Society. In a world that called him a deviant and dope fiend the true fiends were those that threw stones at him instead of looking at themselves. Rest well Hunter..you don't have to deal with these swine any longer.
The people in the audience are the type that would look down an Hunter, call him an immoralist, in their suits and ties and short, neat hair. How ironic it is that they laugh when the Hell's Angel describes his friend beating his wife.
If i find that that kike bastard host is still living i'll hunt 'im down and kick his crooked teeth in and if his teeth are already rottened to the nub and his smile has nothing more to show than his fowl diseased gums i'll just kick his head in. How the hell are u going to have Hunter S. Thompson on your show and barely let him fucking speak!?!
only a punk beat his wife and dog. GUTS, I would have gone back, but then again, I would have done that, knowing very well about honor and a call to duty. Beating a woman is still a fulltime sport in this country. FACTS are FACTS peole, dont kill the messenger please, I know cuz I was one that got beat. so now what? control, manipulate and dominate, always OVER< ABOVE < the WOMAN! It took guts to tell the asshat beating his wife, that it was wrong! no matter what is said, now or then, it's sad!
Wow. It's hard to believe how much times have changed. I can't believe people were applauding domestic violence! A real man don't beat his wife. Hunter was the real man in this scenario. He stood his ground and took a beating for it. Then he was publicly ridiculed for it. He was right all along.
this shit pisses me off. this douchebag looks like a hero, what the fuck is the audience so happy about, most of them looked happy/and most of them were women. Hunter never got to tell his side of the story in the interview and thats fuckin bullshit, cause that douche kept cuttin him off
"To keep a woman in line" ???!!!! This reminds me of why its important not to get carried away and romanticise a way of life just because its on the fringes of society.
I love how the crowd just laughs as he says 'junkie george was beatin his wife' the irony, I feel like I'm watching a Hunter S Thompson bad trip, it's the American dream man! Lol ..?
As far as I see it in this video, back in the 60s, men used to talk about women getting beaten, everybody laughed and that's it. No one was mad. World, what the fuck happened?
I remember hearing about this show in high school. It was broadcast in 1967 and no one figured out how to set a DVR to record untill the 80's. The interweb is a wonderfull thing so glad Al Gore invented it.

umm... I must've missed the part where the biker was "irate" in that clip. Either that or every discussion I've seen on tv talk shows has "irate" people in it. In the words of Inigo Montoya, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
Hunter Thompson was a punk, ya gotta realize this was the mid 60s, even on the Andy Griffith show they talked about giving a woman a "what for" I don't condone hitting a woman myself. But you know what they say 'women are like old Harleys, sometimes ya gotta kick em to get em going'
the good old days....pretty fucking bizarre man, if you would talk on a show about the fact that beating your wife is normal it would be a complete shock. obviously back in the day if you would react to someone beating his wife your a complete idiot and clown by the look of the reaction the audience gives. classic footage
so hunter is being attacked because he defended a woman and a dog getting beaten by some drugged down biker? and the crowd laughs and claps from this idiots statements?
I dont agree that the audience cheered because they disagreed or he was "stupid". they are just sick and find it funny that people explain it so openly.
Only a sick person would let that happen. Hunter is a damn hero for what he did, most of us wouldnt have dared to open their mouth with HA close.
IT BLOWS my mind that all the people in the stands think that its a routine when the biker is saying "to keep your woman in line you have to beat her like a rug". Women and men laughing at that like it was staged or a joke when it was 100% real. Hunter is the man for sticking up for that lady (even though maybe he shouldnt have for whatever reasons). sucks that the tape ended before Hunter explained what happened lol..... Hells Angels are scum, always have been , always will be.
@kuuzo youre obviously an idiot lol. low piece of trash just like the Angels are. Everything Workman said was pathetic to come out of a mans mouth. Hes not a man. Hunter is the man for a)sticking up for a woman he doesnt know (some piece of trash whore no doubt) and b) speaking 100% truth to that hells angels face.
I think both Hunter and the Hell's Angels were partly wrong. Probably Hunter did promise them 2 kegs of beer and didn't share any of the money at all he made from his book. But both versions of the story point to Junkie George beating his wife and dog which in any case Hunter did the right thing by calling him a punk.
@BizzyBoxx remember the timeframe man, this was normal back in the day. Not saying it's right, but that's the product of the day. It's like saying "can't believe this person owned people" when watching a movie about slavery.
I agree with Hunter S. Thompson with is comment about Junkie George that only a punk beats his wife and the animal he owns (he said his wife and dog but I agree with hunter on that completely)
if you notice the narrator says hunter was the 1st to compare them to the outlaws of the west, BUT i remember reading the hells angels book and hunter clearly says someone else mentioned them as the outlaws of the west and the angels even asked thompson in the book why he didnt write anything like that about them, and hunter even said in the book he also wondered why he didnt do that. get your facts striaght dumbass!
Murph, what do you mean the mentally ill stick together?! That makes no sense. You didn't classify which mental illness, either, as if it matters. Are you saying manic depressives, catatonics, bipolar disorders and schizophrenics all purposefully mingle together? To inform you, they never have.
I honestly only believe Hunter agreed with the Skip idiot to get him the shut the fuck up. Obviously he doesn't believe in domestic abuse if he got beat up for it, to say any different would be idiotic. Yeah maybe he contradicted himself in a brief moment, but that doesn't mean at all that he meant it. The fact of the matter was he couldn't get a word in, and agreeing was the best thing he could do to atleast make his way to the point.
Regardless of anything, Hunter S Thompson is incredible
UTTERLY ridiculous! Morons applauding a moron. Hunter didnt get the chance to get his point across. Laughter at the story of a man being beaten for trying to stop someone from beating his wife. messed up
i hope all the women in the crowd applauding when the guy said women need to be beat, well......got the shit beat out of them. one thing i was taught is a real man never hits a woman, and hunter gets laughed at for standing up and doing the right thing
@rhcpfrush91 One thing i was taught growing up when you are a guest and a full patch hells angel is beating his wife you prob should put it on your pay no mind list.
Hunter was a man's man. He stood up for what's right even at a time when it's not "cool". He knows he's not a tough guy, walks up to a hell's angel, spoke up about domestic abuse. Took his beating like a man.
@lenaseale08 You make a fair point. Yes he said "I agree".
There was an awkward moment before he said "I agree". If you go further back at 5:18 he is the one who calls out the situation of domestic abuse in the first place. Then later to say "I agree" is a complete contradiction to what he actually called out. I only wonder why he called it out in the first place if he "agreed". Maybe he was high, intimidated by the other guy's presence, hot under the lights, it just seems a bit dumb.
@no7shark he made a point about one particularly rough domestic abuse case and then went on to agree that you need to beat you girl "like a rug" from time to time after the crowd clapped the hells angel guy
@lenaseale08 That's exactly why I'm so surprised at his contradiction, y'know. The contradiction again being as you yourself stated that he called out "one particularly rough domestic case". What I'm asking is - what state of mind was he in when he 'agreed' with the "like a rug" comment. Since when is beating somone "like a rug" any different to the actions he was himself was calling out / gesticulating at 5:40 These guys knew where he lived, he was scared, I can read it in his body language.
@no7shark yea he was scared but that doesn't mean you lie about your views. im sure theres a reason why he agreed yano, influenced by culture at the time, too scared to speak out or whatever but theres an excuse for everything! don't get me wrong i really love his work and he's got a great mind but the issue of domestic abuse always seems a little off with him
@lenaseale08 @ 4:30 he already got roughed up for his intevention at the actual scene. I imagine this shaped his opinions to the point where they placed him in an awkward position to the actual subjects he was recieved by. When you feel awkward and scared and you have something, like say other long term plans... Maybe just live another day, I don't know what his motivation was at that point, but it was obviously enough for him to visually and audibly betray himself.
@no7shark well i don't think we can make assumptions, to say that he "betrayed" himself is one. if words are anything to go by he does agree with domestic violence but if they aren't (esp given the circumstance) then thats an assumption too. its definitely a grey area. you watch gonzo:the life and works his ex wife speaks about calling the guards on him because he was so angry at one point and then you read the rum diary in which his character is sickened by domestic abuse.
@lenaseale08 For me 'betrayal' was just another word for 'contradict'. This and all that I have previously said are more that of an visual analysis with observations; than so as you deride 'assumptions'. He betrayed / contradicted himself: in essence i.e. the direct self-inflicted negative results of this are the same. Previously, I think I used the word 'contradict' so much, that I got tired of it. With your points on HST, this 'grey area' increases, it should, it's a topic you've made valid.
Long live Hunter S. Thompson's memory. Both the interviewer and the dolt on the bike are moronic. The Hell's Angels were and are a bunch of ignorant, violent, misogynistic, racist, self-satisfied louts.
@MARMARR1 She has a lot more fans than that lol, I think its just cos people came to see Hunter on here and probably didnt realise it was her, or know who she is as obv her music is old now, possibly alot of people wont remember her and alot of people on here are young
can't hate an ENTIRE biker club. there's footage of hell's angels hanging out with hippies, i met a few that live by me, respectful guys just don't fear them, theyre normal people. BUT thompson did what he does best. and that is freedom, so in a sense he's still showing lack of respect and honor to a bunch of guys with bikes and muscles and the authoritarian views they had: all for one, none for all

The useless banterings of a rhetorician hard at work, or valuable assets to a society that begs for wordsmithing? What, indeed, do we believe to be the true definition of the American Dream? Perhaps I have the answers, perhaps not. Either way, this topic is opened for discussion in my new video.
hunter was so far ahead of his time it unbeliveable, its ashame they cut him short before he could fully state his side of the story and his own eye witness account
reminds me of the the movie natural born killers at the start in mallory's house with all the canned laughter at Dangerfield's lines (her abusing father) ~ except this was real people laughing at this stuff. crazy!
N this is the same generation that is creating our laws...the same generation abusing drugs and women,Im glad to see nobody condones that behavior...and the fact its on a major tv network broadcasting this ideaology is appaulling....hypocrite jackals
Holy that moderator did SH*T all to moderate... It's bad enough they had the HA member ride in on a motorcycle and then every time Hunter opened his mouth the HA guy cut him off... good one CBC..
@sxxxhvampire The truly sad part of that, is how true it is. I dont like hitting woman and i dont, but with the way 98% of them act..they would deserve it if i did.
@sxxxhvampire just don't bark orders at a man, ask nicely & never belittle the superiority of his stature or girth & you have nothing to worry about ;)
@sxxxhvampire I'll rephrase that...just don't bark orders at a man, ask nicely & never belittle his stature or girth (esp if he's shorter or slimmer) & you have nothing to worry about ;)
Are the audience laughing at the biker or the fact that the biker is having ago at Hunter S.Thompson? Like theres points where i can see that the audience laughs at the biker or? fml i feel stupid.
Most if not all of these guys are simply mentally ill people that slipped through the cracks. It's typical for similar people to stick together. This is why we have Italian, Chinese etc communities. The mentally ill do the same. It gives a feeling of security.
No wonder hated the media and people..even in the 60's their ignorance was appealing. It would have drove any intelligent person mad. Hunter was a MAN and a damn good one at that.
Hunter most of his career peered into and attempted to understand the viscious mentality of the American Society. In a world that called him a deviant and dope fiend the true fiends were those that threw stones at him instead of looking at themselves. Rest well Hunter..you don't have to deal with these swine any longer.

@lenaseale08 You make a fair point. Yes he said "I agree".
There was an awkward moment before he said "I agree". If you go further back at 5:18 he is the one who calls out the situation of domestic abuse in the first place. Then later to say "I agree" is a complete contradiction to what he actually called out. I only wonder why he called it out in the first place if he "agreed". Maybe he was high, intimidated by the other guy's presence, hot under the lights, it just seems a bit dumb.

@no7shark he made a point about one particularly rough domestic abuse case and then went on to agree that you need to beat you girl "like a rug" from time to time after the crowd clapped the hells angel guy
lenaseale08 6 months ago
@lenaseale08 That's exactly why I'm so surprised at his contradiction, y'know. The contradiction again being as you yourself stated that he called out "one particularly rough domestic case". What I'm asking is - what state of mind was he in when he 'agreed' with the "like a rug" comment. Since when is beating somone "like a rug" any different to the actions he was himself was calling out / gesticulating at 5:40 These guys knew where he lived, he was scared, I can read it in his body language.
no7shark 6 months ago
@no7shark yea he was scared but that doesn't mean you lie about your views. im sure theres a reason why he agreed yano, influenced by culture at the time, too scared to speak out or whatever but theres an excuse for everything! don't get me wrong i really love his work and he's got a great mind but the issue of domestic abuse always seems a little off with him
lenaseale08 6 months ago
@lenaseale08 @ 4:30 he already got roughed up for his intevention at the actual scene. I imagine this shaped his opinions to the point where they placed him in an awkward position to the actual subjects he was recieved by. When you feel awkward and scared and you have something, like say other long term plans... Maybe just live another day, I don't know what his motivation was at that point, but it was obviously enough for him to visually and audibly betray himself.
no7shark 6 months ago
@no7shark well i don't think we can make assumptions, to say that he "betrayed" himself is one. if words are anything to go by he does agree with domestic violence but if they aren't (esp given the circumstance) then thats an assumption too. its definitely a grey area. you watch gonzo:the life and works his ex wife speaks about calling the guards on him because he was so angry at one point and then you read the rum diary in which his character is sickened by domestic abuse.
lenaseale08 6 months ago
@lenaseale08 For me 'betrayal' was just another word for 'contradict'. This and all that I have previously said are more that of an visual analysis with observations; than so as you deride 'assumptions'. He betrayed / contradicted himself: in essence i.e. the direct self-inflicted negative results of this are the same. Previously, I think I used the word 'contradict' so much, that I got tired of it. With your points on HST, this 'grey area' increases, it should, it's a topic you've made valid.

can't hate an ENTIRE biker club. there's footage of hell's angels hanging out with hippies, i met a few that live by me, respectful guys just don't fear them, theyre normal people. BUT thompson did what he does best. and that is freedom, so in a sense he's still showing lack of respect and honor to a bunch of guys with bikes and muscles and the authoritarian views they had: all for one, none for all

The useless banterings of a rhetorician hard at work, or valuable assets to a society that begs for wordsmithing? What, indeed, do we believe to be the true definition of the American Dream? Perhaps I have the answers, perhaps not. Either way, this topic is opened for discussion in my new video.

Most if not all of these guys are simply mentally ill people that slipped through the cracks. It's typical for similar people to stick together. This is why we have Italian, Chinese etc communities. The mentally ill do the same. It gives a feeling of security.
