Rubin "Hurricane" Carter (1991) - the fifth estate

[@Shadoefax760]

@@CoolhandLukeSkywalkr he's completely guilty, the only reason he got out is because they made a lot of noise & evidence was destroyed so they couldn't reexamine the case. It's why he's never been cleared of charges, I forget the term but he acknowledged guilt to be set free. He did it & an fooled an entire generation. He may have remorse, he may have changed his ways but it doesn't absolve him from his crimes & he got Man's justice which failed to keep him locked away but he can't escape gods judgement.

The film and this documentary makes me believe it was seriously some cosmic-connection going on. I mean just knowing a group of people from another country...just stumbles upon meeting a child, who will later pick up a book and be so inspired by it (same person who was illiterate) and decided to send that one letter that would spark a relationship that would later PROVE Rubin Carter's innocence where he may have died in prison for a crime he didn't commit. That is undeniably beautiful right there.

[@dannyd376]

I was literally just thinking the same thing, I agree with you on that.

[@ilililhy1]

+Mark Hazleton Cosmic connection? No, it is Divine Intervention from GOD, don't you SEE? GOD always has a purpose & his judgement comes upon the wicked, & justice & freedom is given to GOD'S CHILDREN; and it is just like GOD said unto us that, The wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just! GOD puts certain people in our lives as an extraordinary reminder of his LOVE FOR US through others, just like he puts us in other people's lives as a reminder of his LOVE FOR THEM! I do definitely agree that it is beautiful how GOD works, just like GOD'S LOVE FOR US! JESUS LOVES YOU!

[@mhaze210]

+ilililhy1 It's time you stop bombarding us with this God missile. Why should God permit such devilish behaviour to happen in the first place? I believe we are cosmologically interdependent one toward another in this universe, and we fail to act in accordance to the law of the nature.

[@hymansahak181]

For the people here who say he was guilty, look at the way he talks and expresses himself and cries. This is an innocent man and his story is truly inspiring.

[@jempitt9974]

No, look at the way he talked in the 60s about getting guns and shooting cops. Lok at the way he writes in his autobiography about wanting to shoot anyone who crossed him. Look at the way he beat up and hospitalized a woman who was helping support him when on bail. Carter in the 60's was a violent psychopath and the evidence placed him at the scene of the Lafayette Bar murders, a revenge killing following the murder of his friend Eddie Rawls stepfather in another bar earlier that evening.

Dylan was a lot more involved than people realise he done a tour to promote the song and get the message out there. He also visited Carter in prison There's a famous photo of the 2 of them together in jail on opposite side of the prison bars. Muhammad Ali also got involved through Dylan and went to visit Ruben. Dylan is a huge boxing fan and has been to many Vegas fights over the years also has his own boxing gym where he trains in LA . Money raised from the Hurricane benefit concerts was used to help out with some of the legal expenses.
