Last night, police found the body of famous journalist and author Hunter S. Thompson dead in his home, of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

So far, no news agency is reporting to have found a suicide note, so no explaination is known.
If you havent read any of Thompson's books, you should.
He led a self-destructive, drug crazed life, and had the balls to say what he felt needed to be said, regardless of wether you wanted to hear it.

For that, he earned my respect.

An excellent author, and a voice of his generation and times.

Yeah, I heard about that yesterday. Too bad about his death. But good on him for how he lived his life.

Even though he was a leftie he did support the 2nd amendment.
