Postscript Summary and Analysis

On Labor Day, 1966, Thompson had a verbal argument with a Hell's Angel. Within moments, the Hell's Angel punched Thompson to the ground, and then several other Hell's Angels joined the fray and delivered a classic Hells' Angel stomping. A friendly Hell's Angel eventually put a stop to the beating and Thompson staggered from the bar to his car. He evicted one sleeping Hell's Angel from the rear seat and then drove to the hospital, where he discovered a waiting room full of Gypsy Jokers, themselves recent victims of a group Hell's Angels stomping. The Gypsy Jokers vowed vengeance, and the text concludes.
