Meredith Curly Hunter (October 24, 1951 – December 6, 1969) was a male spectator at the Altamont Free Concert. During the performance by The Rolling Stones, after being punched by a Hells Angel serving as a security guard, Hunter pulled out a gun and was then stabbed to death by another Hells Angel serving as a security guard. The incident was caught on camera and became a central scene in the documentary Gimme Shelter... The Hells Angels had been hired to provide security for the concert in a deal that was rumoured to include $500 worth of beer.[3] They stood directly in front of the bands in an effort to keep people off the unusually low stage... ![]() http://forum.davidicke.com/showpost....2&postcount=39 Fueled by LSD and large amounts of amphetamines, the crowd had also become antagonistic and unpredictable, attacking each other, the Angels, and the performers. By the time the Rolling Stones took stage in the early evening, the mood had taken a decidedly ugly turn as numerous fights began to erupt between Angels and crowd members and within the crowd itself. Projectiles started being thrown at the stage. The Angels retaliated by hurling back full cans of beer from their stockpile and swinging sawed-off weighted pool cues and motorcycle chains to drive the crowd further back from the stage... http://forum.davidicke.com/showpost....&postcount=198 The film then shows Hells Angel Alan Passaro, armed with a knife, running at Hunter from the side, parrying the gun with his left hand and stabbing him with his right. The footage was shot by Eric Saarinen who was on stage taking pictures of the crowd. Saarinen was unaware of having caught the incident on film... The footage was shot by Eric Saarinen who was on stage taking pictures of the crowd. Saarinen was unaware of having caught the incident on film. This was discovered more than a week later when rushes were screened in the New York offices of the Maysles Brothers... http://forum.davidicke.com/showpost....&postcount=592 Last edited by lightgiver; 05-10-2011 at 08:14 PM. |

The Galactic Center is the rotational center of the Milky Way galaxy... ![]() It is believed that there is a supermassive black hole at the Galactic Center of the Milky Way... The complex astronomical radio source Sagittarius A appears to be located almost exactly at the Galactic Center (approx. 18 hrs, -29 deg), and contains an intense compact radio source, Sagittarius A*, which coincides with a supermassive black hole at the center of our Galaxy... In golf, a hole in one or hole-in-one (also known as an ace, mostly in American English) is when a player hits the ball directly from the tee into the cup with one shot... http://forum.davidicke.com/showthrea...=89516&page=70 Quote:
