I suppose if new evidence came to light that justified Hunter's actions, then I would reconsider, but all we've heard since then is hearsay and conjecture.

Let's not call each other bigots because someone states objective fact. I'm sure if a white guy had pulled a gun that day he also would have been shivved repeatedly. Didn't the Angels punch out someone from the Airplane that day? It was just a very, very sad day that started with good intentions. Let's not add to it 42 years later by attacking each other needlessly.

LeonidP - that was the quote from the Rolling Stone writer who was there - watching it - he saw the Angels checking Meredith out, watched them pick a fight with him for no reason, and when more than one started hitting him he pulled his (un-loaded) gun - they did the same with that fat Mexican dude that was dancing around - stoned - not hurting anyone... Angels smacked him around with their pool cues also - I believe the RS writer account of things.. MLC

There's also footage which shows the whole incident and the lead up to his death, hunter is apparently seen jumping onto the stage, then being thrown off by the angels, perhaps this was the beginning of when the angels started to pick on him

maybe, however there was a trial against the Angel that did the deed & meredith's own own girlfriend testified in court - and never brought up that they were beating him before this or that they were targeting him - and i've read a lot on this and never once read anything about the gun not being loaded (not that it mattered, as someone else pointed out, how would they know this anyway).

I would love to know what was said to the cops by the girl that perhaps did not get said in court.

Sad that he has no headstone to mark his grave.

And a jury bought the story that the "stabber" was just protecting everyone, how
would he know the gun wasn't loaded - self defense.. he got away with MURDER..

He was doing something wrong, and illegal with a gun in his pocket as soon as he left the house that day...That was stupid enough, but to bring it to an event like this, well, beyond stupid...

Leon - do you have friends in the Angels or something??
Multiple Angels started hitting him, he stupidly pulled an un-loaded gun thinking
they would stop, the stabber knifed him over 30 times,

Eat a dick, biotch.
I was with you up until the last line about Marty Balin. So much for crediblity.Quote

geez. I come here because I thought you guys knew everything.
The Angles roughed up Hunter when he stepped on a speaker or something. One of them pushed or punched him. Thats when he pulled the gun. There is more video of Hunter at the concert but the Stones won't release it. He brought the gun because he was at the concert earlier and saw the Angels roughing people up. . She was a big Jagger fan and he wanted to take her to see the Stones.
Obviously he shouldn't have brought the gun, but had the Angels acted like human beings the gun never would have been an issue. After stabbing him they also stood on his head for a while and woulnd't let anyone near him to help him. I can't believe people are taking their side. Personally i wish he would have shot a couple of them ( the gun was loaded ) and got away. I wish Sonny Barger ended up with a hole in his throat many many years earlier. But hey I can't stand guys who think they are tough guys because they ride motorcycles and win fights when its 5 to 1 in their favor ALL THE TIME. But thats just me.
I also hate the Angels because they had Marty Balin on the ropes and didn't finish him off. Because of that we all had to endure his 80s music. They can all go to hell.
