RE: In the rather fucked up hippie world, it made sense to be extremely violent while professing peace and love. n

That point was actually covered in one of Laughlin's latter films (trial of Billy Jack I believe). As I recall ... a hippie girl was vandalizing a car or something ... Billy Jack tired to stop her (saying it was not the way to solve problems) ... she said "why not, that's what you do".
As stated in an earlier post ... I liked the movie Billy Jack in my youth. Over many years the movie did not age well ... it was a product (time capsule) of it's time. I probably disagreed with Mr Laughlin's point of view on things 80% of the time. But I always thought he spoke to what he thought was right and never backed down.
It took him 17 years to obtain the financing to make the movie Billy Jack. He was turned down by everybody in Hollywood ... he & his wife were the only ones who believed in the project. The movie was made in 71 and still had to sue the movie companies to get it released in 1973 ... I give him credit for never giving up on his dream.
He had some interesting (bizarre) points of view for sure. I will miss his passion.
