Comments Thread For: Rubin “Hurricane” Carter Passes Away at Age 76

I'm sure the people who made the movie spent money looking into this and wouldn't want to glorify a "murderer" .

The Movie was based on the Book, that makes a compelling Case,
That Carter Spent 20+ years in Jail, for a Crime he didn't do.....

In the book, HURRICAINE, Carter makes the Case,
that Over Zealous, Cops and Prosecutors, Set Him Up....
And a lot of people, after looking at the TRUE FACTS , Agree!!!

So, what you're saying is that I should agree and not challenge the argument that Carter himself made in his own book?

I'm using facts here, and you're just referencing them vaguely.

'And a lot of people, after looking at the TRUE FACTS , Agree!!!'

Yeah? Like what? As far as I can tell, I'm the only one bringing facts into this thread. I'd be more than open to hear some facts from proponents of Carter, as long as they are actually fact and not **** that Carter said in his book.

Is this the same book that Carter wrote?

Yeah, let's just take him at his word.

If you guys watched 'The Hurricane' with Denzel Washington and are basing your opinions on the case off of that, then you are incredibly misinformed and not worth arguing with.

Did U Read the Book, Jimmy???
I doubt U did.....

There's two sides to the Story...
I suspect U only, have seen One Side...

Yeah Carter Wrote It, and I suspect U haven't Read It...Right???

No, I have not read it. While it may provide a small amount of insight into the nature of the case, Carter is clearly extremely biased and all of his opinions or assertions have to be very carefully considered because of this.

Instead of that, I'd rather rely on empirical evidence, all of which seems to suggest that Carter is guilty.

Didn't see the Movie, but Read His Book,
and like Dylan and others, believe that he was

Convicted of being an Intimidating Black Dude!!!

Oh FFS. Did you know that Dylan won't even perform that song anymore after reviewing the case? It's clear that Carter was guilty.

That says it All, you had a Preconceived belief that He was Guilty;
So why Confuse yourself with the other side of the Story???

Can't say that I care.

Then get the fúck out of the thread and don't post.

RIP Hurricane
