At the time, Gore had been married for about a year-and-a-half. As a member of the motorcycle gang known as the Death Angels, Hudson's nickname in the early 1970's was "Buzzard." He admits it was a life full of sex, drugs and violence. "Let's put it this way, the people I used to run with, it was not unusual to find a house full of naked bodies passed out," Hudson said in a telephone interview Saturday. "In a lot of ways, it was every young man's fantasy, a very violent culture. And I worked very hard to do what I needed to do, to be a part of that culture." ==== Hudson recalls that he and Gore were seated in the living room with about 15 to 20 people. "We were all sitting around, getting fairly well-loaded, talking, joking. He (Gore) was not overly talkative." Hudson says he saw Gore drinking beer and "I saw him smoking pot and passing it around. He took a couple of tokes and was feeling pretty good." Later, according to Hudson, one of the gang members took out his handgun and fired a bullet at a small piece of interior trim over the front door and then encouraged Gore to "take a shot at it." "One of the old lady's guns was laying out on the coffee table and he (Gore) was handed the gun," Hudson recalls. The gun was either a .32 or .38 caliber automatic, according to Hudson, who says Gore fired twice and missed the trim both times. ====== Following the shooting incident, Hudson says he remembers Gore "going into the room with the girl," but says "I did not see him come out." The house contained three bedrooms, according to Hudson, and the one Gore allegedly used was just off the living room. Hudson said after Gore and the young woman left the living room, he didn't hear any sounds coming from the bedroom because the party was attended by "a rather noisy bunch and we pretty much forgot about him." While Hudson did not witness what went on behind closed doors, he said there's little doubt what went on in the bedroom. "We didn't give somebody a girl for them to talk to," said Hudson. "We wanted good press. If you want a good article, you've got to be nice to the reporter. That's what the whole situation was." cnsnews.com \Politics\archive\200011\POL20001106b.html
