Whatever might have happened, you can't deny that hiring Hell's Angels to do security (and paying them in beer) was a terrible idea.

Making Hells Angels security... That's like trying to make a wolf guard a pack of sheep.

Who goes to a rock concert with a pistol?

[Martin126X]

@TheArrpeegee Indeed.

u can clearly see the black dude with the gun at 0:34 in front of the chicks dress...and at 0:36 u see the hells angel stabbing the dude in the shoulder more then likely saving someones life maybe even a rolling stone....job well done in my book

@Martin126X Seems like the "wolf guards" saved a couple of sheep by getting rid of one of the sheep.

And with this terrible tragedy, the summer of love and the counter-culture movement came to an end. But, for a little while...........it was nice. Love did work. Makes you think, huh?? For a little while love and peace actually worked. And, for a little while, the drugs did work. *peace*

Mick Jaggers Ego was the reason this kid died.

@gamesxlegendz Oh, that's different, he just wanted to kill six.

[gamesxlegendz]

@TwiceBornGypsy his goal wasn't to kill everybody

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.

dude brandished a gun, passaro acted in response to it, threat neutralized, end of story
