In 1970, Hunter S. Thompson became exasperated with the local pollution problems and entered the race for Sheriff of Aspen, Colorado, proposing to establish a third political party that championed a more benevolent approach to law enforcement. His campaign captivated the national press, turning him into an overnight sensation and a hero for the ‘drop out’ generation, who rallied behind his ‘Freak Power’ ideology and aimed to conquer Aspen, and eventually, the entire globe. The sole obstacle to their success was Thompson himself.
