As the man in question was a Vietnam Vet I kinda doubt he was a hippy.

But it is good to know when a veteran is killed because some low life drug dealer doesn't have his intimidation animal under control that some FReepers will trip over their own feet rushing to defend the lowlife.

I live in Durango and am a Nam vet. I met him casually at the VA Clinic here in Durango. He was a good man.

Another poster and I were discussing Boulder. I did not say anything about him being a hippie. We were discussing the differences between Durango and Boulder.

Lots of VN vets became hippies FWIW. One of my closest friends for years was a VN USMC vet and considered himself a hippie. Another USMC vet, pre-VN war, also called himself a hippie.

Personally I never thought of either one as hippies but I certainly wouldn’t have argued with either of them about it because it was always abundantly evident that they were Marines.
