Thanks! Loved that video!
Badazz.
I saw it as it as happened.
I was not arguing with you. I’m familiar with the events, stories and have seen the video repeatedly. I was just adding to your comments that the media played the race card at the time. The truth of the event came out later. They were out to get racist bikers and failed. Yet there’re many here in CA whose only knowledge of Altamont is that Hells Angeles killed a black guy. They don’t even know it was a Stones concert and HA was security. I consider it to be my first lesson on leftist media narratives.
By pulling a handgun in front of the stage in a crowd of thousands? Ya, not a very good strategy...lol
Btw, could I get a link to that alleged organized effort at Altamont? Thanks!
I don’t have anything like that to back it up. I grew up in California and have lived here most of my life. Born in ‘64, I remember it being brought up by a few teachers and what the now-employed-hippies said about it. I watched Gimme Shelter decades ago, but recall it slanted to the false narrative too. I do remember all of this footage about the stabbing, slow motion and zoomed in. My feeling about Altamont was like my reaction to learning a bunch of things in my late teens and early twenties. Like learning that Lincoln did not, could not, free the slaves. 1,000s of things they told us growing up here weren’t true.

All the truth came out later but you have nothing to back it up?
Who ever told you that was pulling your leg. Trust me here.
