Seems like a random incident. Hitching out of mining towns or oil patch areas is always going to be more dangerous. Lots of transients with too much time on their hands and previous criminal histories. I have had problems in towns like Grants, NM and Rock Springs, WY, although just verbal harrassment.

The hitcher, I hope he is doing well. If he took a bus from West Virginia to eastern Montana to start his hitching journey to determine how "kind-hearted Americans are", I have a little problem with that. Hitchers hitch, although there are kind people riding Greyhound, no doubt.

that was exactly his reason for shooting himself, to get promotion for his book apparently

bwahahaha, I can see what you said before the [MOD EDIT DELETE] comes!
why not just have a filter? it would be easier. or not worry about it, most of us have seen those words before. I know, this isn't some other site and we can be classier.

That story had a bad smell to it. Why would a guy hitching across the country to write a book take a bus from West Virginia to Montana? Loser.
