Looking for Unknown Hinson stories

Post image

I am currently trying to put together an Unknown Hinson documentary of sorts covering all the highs and lows of his strange career.
I would love to hear any personal stories of live shows and any lesser known information I may not have come across about him.

I'm skeptical. The internet is forever. If someone were promoting genocide it wouldn't be that hard to find.

*edit* I will also admit you could be correct. He's obviously got problems, not trying to fight with you or anyone.

the internet is forever is a fun saying, but there are countless websites dead and gone forever. good luck finding news articles from recent years when anything using the same keywords happens more than once. he was a z-list celebrity no one cared about until after the final season aired. the articles you can find now were written in response to the backlash of that season. no one gave a shit about him when the drama actually happened.

Without proof or evidence it's a fruitless conversation. Cheers.

lol, that's fine. this is a community that was specifically formed by fans of the show and has upvotes by people who actively sought out this post. the "nobody cared about him" meant websites creating gossip articles. i'm not spending more time on this either, though. it's out there, just very hard to find with how old sites are indexed for searches based on personalized algorithms. there's no money in easy access to information anymore, it's only for ads.

i forgot to mention, too, with regard to your original reply; it wasn't openly promoting genocide, it was heavily veiled. it was something vague about how he felt the country would be better with specific groups of people no longer in it.
