Watch Hunter S. Thompson Talk About Democracy While Having a Gun Fight With His Neighbor

Hunter S. Thompson's contributions to film and literature have been numerous. Hell, I think it's fair to say Johnny Depp owes a significant portion of his career to him! For anyone who maybe wondered if the stories were overblown and Thompson wasn't as crazy as people made him out to be...throw that out the window.

Let me set the scene for you before you watch this video. Whoever is filming walks up on Thompson as he is actively exchanging gunfire with his neighbor! Apparently, the dispute has something to do with cows in his yard, and there's a peacock involved as well. Thompson seems unfazed by most of this, and talks about the Constitution and his right to do this with his neighbor.

The whole thing is so surreal to watch. Check it out below.
