Some Protest Hunter S’s Blast-off

Hunter S. Thmpson’s ashes were blasted off into space Saturday, but some of his admirers weren’t happy about the show. “I am pretty sure it isn’t how Hunter would have done it,” said longtime friend George Stranahan. The writer’s ashes were fired from atop a 15-story tower modeled after Thompson’s logo: a clenched fist, holding a peyote button, rising from the hilt of a dagger. It was built between his home and a tree-covered canyon wall.”
