I think Hunter is pretty lucid here. There's something sickening about the audience.

Man Hunter has huuuge balls. That's all i can say. He didn't even have to say his version and he comes out the better man.

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.

should have let hunter speak what the fuck

[DeadButBreathing]

@darkwolfdv That's complete bullshit, I would never respect a man who thought he was superior or that he should be more respected for simply being born as a male, that shows that he is arrogant and doesn't have much else to be proud of. I will however always respect a man who stands up for equality of all people, and judges based on character and not on gender or race or any matter. I don't know what kind of anti-feminists you've been talking to to think that women like macho biker sexists.

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!

soooo trippy its like the twighlight zone. out of all those people Hunter s. thompson was the most reasonable and sane

[msa1985]

biker gangs are a bunch of faggots.

[DrifterMCWorld]

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

@chilld180 You can't even write in proper english so it's no wonder you don't like Thompsons writing you dumb little cunt.
