That Mojo article says that the Angels turned Meredith's gun over to the police. I always thought it was never found.
that "qoute this message" option isn't that damn hard to use,i wish some of the posters would figure it out.alot of these questions and answers are a convoluted mess

If you watch Gimme Shelter you'll see a guy in a white shirt [who i assume is from the small security force the owner hired to protect the speedaway grounds] is talking to a cop,he says "i have the gun,one of the Angels gave it to me"
which is why even though we have these threads pop up here and again it's always good because people are constantly trying to shovel sht.
i actually saw something recently"poor meredith even lost his gun,a fan took it for a souvenir" i'm thinking,how fckng lazy is the guy who wrote this article.

I found a picture of Passaro the year he died also. Looking like a tough guy to the end.

I noticed some gun stories....the Maysles' and I were threatened by the SF DA's office while we were in NY. If the Maysles turned over the footage of the knifing we would not be charged. and if the Angels turned over the gun, only Passaro would be charged. David delivered the footage. I was told the Angels turned over the gun...and here's what happened to Passaro:

The guy said "The Angels showed it to me"..not "gave it to me"

You're exactly right slakka.i was remembering that from Gimme Shelter and though i've seen it 100 times it's been awhile.
i went to you tube and checked it out-wow.
The stop action on that is beyond belief when they are showing Mick what happened in slow motion.It stops with Hunter pointing the gun directly at the stage,there is also an Angel standing there so it's not clear if he's getting ready to shoot the biker or at the stage.Then you see Passaro and he's got his left hand on Hunters wrist and the knife coming over the top.It's insane,like the guy turned into a fckn ninja.
the you tube comments were a little rough but also pretty funny.
Passaro saved the other Angel or one of the Stones from getting shot and in the process probably also saved crochet vest girls parents from the heartbreak of having gumby pimp turn out their daughter.

Unless I'm missing other information, it doesn't make sense that Hunter had
any intention of using his gun to shoot at the stage. However, it's reasonable to
assume he was concerned with his own safety in regard to the Angels. Wasn't Hunter scuffling or being harassed by the Angels prior to Hunter's gun draw?

Keep your eye on Bill Wyman.
An Angel shields him from gunfire using his own body when the going gets ruff.
Its enough to give a re-think on the statements of folks like Jerry Garcia, Rock Scully, Peter Coyote ect.

Every Stones fan should listen to this interview with Sonny Barger that starts at 36:40 of the video.
Its the entire KSAN interview telling his side of the story.I had always assumed that what you here him say in Gimme Shelter when Mick is listening to it was the entire thing.turns out it was chopped up and edited for the film.
His side of it is certainly different than what we were sold that's for sure.

I'll let people listen to the interview and make up their own minds.
Our own bmuseed said that they told them to park the bikes in front of the stage and he worked for the Stones,then we have Keith asking in an interview why the hell the bikes were up there.
Barger seems to indicate they were told to park them there before the show.
He also says people were kicking the bikes and knocking mirrors off them etc..
this would jibe with Keith saying "some of those people were just asking for it"
Barger said they were trying to push the fat naked girl back into the audience and people were pushing her back up,they had five of them because they were holding her and trying not to hurt her and Mick kept saying "why are there five of you on the one girl" and bitching at them so they got fed up and said "you want one of us to do it?ok,so one of the Angels kicked her back into the crowd.
not very nice but if you're so out of control you are naked and trying to climb on a stage in front of thousands of people getting kicked in the head might be a good wake up call.
I really thought the Barger interview from Gimme Shelter was the entire thing so it was facinating to me to hear everything he said and compare it to the chopped up version in the movie.anyway it's all here at the 36:40 mark,make of it what you will.[www.youtube.com]

Many of these guys doing the beating were HA prospects - trying to impress the big boys.

Were there police at the show - seems I spotted a couple in the movie. If they
were indeed at the show it seems they should have interviened especially with the
pool cue beatings. This was a long time ago maybe they had some sort of "look the
other way" deal with the Angels.
