'Gonzo' Godfather Hunter S. Thompson Kills Himself

LOS ANGELES - Hunter S. Thompson, a renegade journalist whose "gonzo" style threw out any pretense at objectivity and established the hard-living writer as a counter-culture icon, fatally shot himself at his Colorado home on Sunday night, police said. He was 67.

Thompson's son, Juan, released a statement saying he had found his father dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head at the writer's Owl Creek farm near Aspen.

--Suicide is never an answer.

Who cares. That druggie fuck should have killed himself decades ago and saved himself a pile a worthless pain.
