"I have no doubt that he was pursuing a hot story. He always had at least five hot stories going. That was Michael," Hastings' widow explained. "Right now the LAPD still has an active investigation ... my gut here is that it was just a really tragic accident and I'm unlucky in the world, the world was very unlucky."

Not that it's Michael Hastings' fault but the Government has been on the road toward full fascism for quite some time now...

that the govt assassinated him because he was sticking his nose where it doesn't belong.

So how did the govt do it? Remotely hijacking his car? Boston breaks? Planted explosives? Or all three?
