Hunter S. Thompson Quotes
One Of The Worst Incidents Of That Era Caused No Complaints At All: This Was A Sort Of Good-natured Firepower Demonstration, Which Occured One Sunday Morning About Three-thirty. For Reasons That Were Never Made Clear, I Blew Out My Back Windows With Five Blasts Of A 12 Gauge Shotgun, Followed Moments Later By Six Rounds From A .44 Magnum. It Was A Prolonged Outburst Of Heavy Firing, Drunken Laughter, And Crashing Glass. Yet The Neighbors Reacted With Total Silence. For A While I Assumed That Some Freakish Wind Pocket Had Absorbed All The Noise And Carried It Out To Sea, But After My Eviction I Learned Otherwise. Every One Of The Shots Had Been Duly Recorded On The Gossip Log. Another Tenant In The Building Told Me The Landlord Was Convinced, By All The Tales He'd Heard, That The Interior Of My Apartment Was Reduced To Rubble By Orgies, Brawls, Fires, And Wanton Shooting. He Had Even Heard Stories About Motorcycles Being Driven In And Out The Front Door.
