The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is viewed by many people as one of the world's great and influential citizens. He evolved during one of America's most unusual and turbulent times.
He was a modern-day prophet of social justice - the fair and proper administration of laws conforming to the natural law that all persons, regardless of ethnic origin, gender, possessions, race, religion, etc., are to be treated equally and without prejudice.
Dr. King's nonviolent resistance approach didn't make sense to most of his contemporaries then and truthfully still doesn't now. He had to make it explicitly clear that nonviolent resistance was not cowardice, but rather a strong and aggressive spiritual opposition without violence. King's work in the civil rights movement led to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts.
His advocacy for racial and social justice garnered him worldwide fame and naming of streets is one of the most widespread ways of commemorating his name. Seven-hundred-thirty American cities have streets named after him, and 70 percent of those are in Southern states. North Carolina is one of those with the most.
Unfortunately, naming streets after him is also contentious in many instances, and streets named for his honor can become socially and geographically marginalized within cities, as well.
The idea of the Martin Luther King Jr. Day national holiday was first introduced into Congress with bills introduced by Rep. John Conyers, a Michigan Democrat, and Sen. Edward Brooke, a Massachusetts Republican, both African-Americans.
When his birthday was first observed as a federal holiday in 1986, some states resisted observing it. Some of the fiercest resistance on Capitol Hill came from North Carolina's Republican senators Jesse Helms and John East. While all states now observe the holiday, some did not name the day solely after King. In Mississippi, there is a co-celebration of Dr. King and Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. In Arizona, the day is known as Martin Luther King/Civil Rights Day, and in New Hampshire, the last state to honor the federal holiday, it's officially called Martin Luther King Jr. Civil Rights Day.
King became the most recognizable African-American icon of the 20th century, but today's popular understanding of the man rarely extends beyond sound bites. In reality, Dr. King was a complex and controversial man.
This is the man who spotlighted America's worst sins of racial and economic inequality, and at the end of the day, people see in him what they want to see.
When he was assassinated, I was an eighth-grader at a segregated Harnett County elementary school. I was old enough to grieve but too young to understand the real significance of his death. My teacher, retired educator Robert Lucas of Spring Lake, rolled a TV into our classroom, and we watched his funeral in silence.
I believe the events of that day sealed all of us in an emotional time capsule. The images of the funeral service, his widow's composure, and the memorial march to the interment site will always be embedded in my consciousness.
I never asked, but in hindsight, I am convinced our teacher knew the uniqueness of the times and its historical significance, and I am thankful he did not allow us to miss the moment. King was already a man of great stature, but following his death, he transcended from being merely a great American into global membership in the international civil rights hall of fame.
King is well known for his fight for civil rights, but he also dedicated his life to fighting against poverty and the Vietnam War.
One of his greatest speeches, "A Time to Break Silence," was delivered at Riverside Church, New York, on April 4, 1967. It was a statement against war in general, and specifically, President Lyndon Johnson's violence against the people of Vietnam for the stated purpose of stopping communist aggression. This speech was King's public announcement of his opposition to the war.
Johnson and his political allies, including many African-Americans, were outraged. How dare this man oppose a president who had supported civil rights and the consensus of the Democratic Party that supported the same cause? But King always marched to a different drummer. He had something that's lacking among leaders these days: moral courage. He felt he had a duty to oppose what he believed was an unjust war. Ironically, exactly one year from the date of this speech, an assassin's bullet ended his life - but not his dream.
More than 40 years later, America remains divided over whether his dream has been fully realized. It begs the question - if King were alive today, what would be his primary fight?

America, welcome to 1930′s Germany or 1970′s East Germany.
This story from NewsChannel 10 in Sacramento, CA, highlighted on the Drudge Report is a warning shot as to what will happen to anyone who owes money to the government or in the future, who speaks out in opposition:
Dept. of Education breaks down Stockton man's door
For those who question if this was a Department of Education backed raid, look at this snapshot from the original story and think about the future of this nation. America is now experiencing Germany before the Chancellor was elected for life. God help us.

I have recently read Edward G Longacre's biography of Grant which talks a lot of the authors conviction that Grant was an alcoholic and cites many incidents during the war when he was reported to be under the influence. Myself I am not sure whether he was alcoholic or if he just enjoyed a good drink now and then as many of us indeed do. I have not read much about Grants Presidency ( any good book suggestions? ) and my question is this, are there many, or any, references to Grant being drunk in charge of the country? Surely if he was an alcoholic his cravings must have shown through sometime during his 8 year tenure, it is not something easily hidden. |

I have waited for others to reply, but lacking others, I will. Here is a link to a googlebooks excerpt from Edward Bonekemper's biography of Grant which I think is quite judicious: http://books.google.com/books?id=JyNrLK3OSA4C&pg=PA259&lpg=PA He says that Grant may have had problems with liquor and seems to have drunk quite a bit as a young officer (out West), but he knows of no time he was accused of being drunk during battle. He believes rumors were circulated by those with various axes to grind. It was said that Grant's drinking, mainly when times were quiet, was a major reason Julia was in camp so often. She kept a rein on him. As for his presidency, I've not read of accusations then. But let's all keep in mind that all these men were men of their times. Prior to the Civil War Americans drank, per capita, 3 times what we do today, due to all the distilleries of rum and whiskey (it was cheaper to haul whiskey by the barrel than its equivalent amount in corn). The same goes for the charges of corruption during Grant's presidency: the whole era was exceedingly corrupt. I also find that people who don't drink a lot tend to confuse hard drinkers with alcoholics. My own distinction is that alcoholics are dysfunctional in their daily lives, while hard drinkers are not. For instance in her postwar life, US scout Pauline Cushman was accused of being an alcoholic, but she ran well managed hotels. Similarly, to my mind Grant could not have written the very clear, precise orders he did if his brain had been awash in alcohol. He also wrote his memoirs, considered the best of the war, while he was doped up on cocaine when dying of cancer. He had a very clear mind which could not have been the case had he been a real alcoholic. As one fan wrote, his genius was his "sincere, applied thought." And, of course, there is Lincoln's (who was a teetotaler) best line: Find out what brand he drinks and send a case to all the other generals. CKL |

Thanks for that CKL. There are many stories about Grants drinking habits but a lot of them are many times removed from original sources and I tend to treat them with some scepticism. I don't doubt that the man liked a drink and that his detractors used that against him but I just couldn't see how he could have risen to the Presidency, twice, had he been truly alcoholic. |

You'll read in his memoirs that Grant had good political judgment. E.g., his decision to take Vicksburg from the Miss R. after his supply base at Holly Springs was taken was partly made on political grounds--that the Northern people needed to see action and results. I also believe his keen mind was part of the reason he was not successful in business. He had a penetrating mind, not and expansive, imaginative one needed in business. CKL |

hate to say it, but Lincoln never said that line about Grant He probably didn't. But it does fit nicely into who Lincoln was. If it isn't true, it ought to be. Although it isn't documented that he did, it is quite impossible to prove that he didn't ... proving the negative and all that. Grant's enemies, and he had more than a few, were most likely using the drinking to diminish his obviously positive qualities. These accusations come down to us, today, to detract from the man who was arguably, and also probably, the single-most important factor in the reason the Confederacy lost its bid for independence. If he did drink to excess, it didn't seem to keep him from being a winner. Ole Last edited on Tue Aug 25th, 2009 03:23 pm by ole |

This article might be of interest. http://www.historynet.com/who-kept-u-s-grant-sober.htm Now I have seen someone argue that though Grant was is known for being an alcoholic today he may not have been considered one at the time. They point out that Grant's drinking was about average to just above average for the times and that if Grant was a drunk then most of the other generals would have to also be viewed as drunks too. |

In the day, liquor was considered healthful, whereas water was frequently questionable. Germ theory was yet unknown, and people thought nothing of using a creek downhill from a cow pasture. Before refrigeration, apple juice quickly became apple jack. Those little yeasties killed off their bad cousins and turned water into something somewhat palatable, though not of modern quality... |

From my readings, I have never found a scintilla of evidence that Lincoln drank liquor, wine at dinner or otherwise. Temperance people would frequently visit the White House, of which Lincoln was a member. The only liquor that touched his lips was the touch of brandy put on his lips in an attempt to revive him after being shot. Lincoln did not wear temperance on his sleeve, just never found liquor to be anything he desired or drank. Could the poster above who believed Lincoln drank wine at state dinners supply a source? On Grant, here is a good book: Grant's Final Victory. It is about the last year of his life and his attempt to write his memoirs to obtain money for his soon to be widow wife. Enjoyable read. Grant had many southern friends, Buckner, Longstreet, Johnston, among others. Was not that great a president, by his own admission, but salvaged the mess left behind by Johnson. There are over 1000 books on Grant alone...alot to choose from. Nothing new on the horizon, but as 2015 and Appomattox anniversary arrives, we may get a new book. |

Was Lincoln actually a member of the temperance movement. According to Douglas Lee Gibboney's Scandals of the Civil War, pages 2&3:Despite growing up on the frontier, where alcohol could be a balm to harsh reality, Abraham Lincoln was not a drinker. Unlike some abstainers, he was tolerant of people who did partake, which was a practical necessity given the liquid nature of frontier politicking. Like Sam Houston, Lincoln also spoke before temperance groups in a bid to gain their votes. Supporting the reelection of Illinois Congressman Richard Yates, who had a reputation as a drinker, Lincoln said he "would much prefer a temperate man to an intemperate one; still I do not make my vote depend upon whether a candidate does or does not taste liquor." In 1861, a few years after Lincoln's endorsement, Yates appeared drunk when he was inaugurated as governor of Illinois. Now this doesn't mean Lincoln was never a member of the temperance party but it more appears at the time of the Lincoln-Douglas debates period that he was saying he wasn't a member. It does go on to give an anecdote from the war years of a group of temporance advocates arriving at the White House and claiming that the North was loosing battles because the army (Army of the Potomac most likely given the difference between the Eastern and Western Theaters in terms of Northern victories and losses) was drinking too much whiskey. According to the anecdote Lincoln responded that that was unfair as the Sour drank "more and worse" whiskey. For his sources for the above he used David Herbert Donald's Lincoln for the material I quoted from the book and Carl Sandburg's Abraham Lincoln:The War Years Vol 2 for the anecdote. As for Lincoln drinking wine, Gibboney says at the top of page 4 of his book: Family friend White House staffer Noah Brooks recalled that wine was served at dinner only when special guests were present. To be sociable, the president would touch his wine glass to his lips and occasionally even take a few swallows. Now that is a part of a paragraph disgussing Mary Todd Lincoln as First Lady in connection to alcohol. That paragraph Gibboney took from Jean H. Baker's Mary Todd Lincoln: A Biography and the aforementioned Sandburg work. Now as for the famed Lincoln quote about what brand Grant drank so he could give it to all his generals, I have no clue if it's for real or not. I do remember several of my text books in grade school and 8th grade mentioning it. That doesn't mean they were right as some stories become so ingrained that they become a part of history whether or not they were actually said or actually occured. And whether or not they were said when their said to have been said. It does seem to fit Lincoln's humor though. |

Just found this article from January 2005 http://www.historynet.com/truth-behind-us-grants-yazoo-river-bender.htm As it seems we have been discussing the drunkeness of Grant, and Lincoln's temperance, it seems it's a fitting article for the thread. The author, Brian J. Murphy, suggests early on that Grant may not have been the drunkard folks tend to believe him to be: Lonely Captain Grant began to drink, and reportedly to excess. On April 11, 1854, the day he was promoted to the permanent rank of captain in the Regular Army, Grant resigned his commission, allegedly hounded to do so by his commander, Colonel Robert C. Buchanan, and headed back to his family in Missouri. Now I have no clue how Mr. Murphy came across this info about Grant's supposed inability to consume much alcohol. I know Ole mentioned it was Grant's enemies who used his drinking against him and if what Mr. Murphy said is true then it was also his enemies who may have overstated how much he may have actually drnk. I do know I once saw an article discussing the idea that Grant wasn't a heavy drinker when one considers the consumption of the time versus what we measure heavy drinking by today. Wanna see if I can't find that article because I believe the author there said Grant would be more what we might consider a moderate drinker Here Murphy seems to be saying Grant had a low threshold and it took less to get him drunk than it did men like Hooker. Edit: Ok, I just found the article I was thinking of http://www.historynet.com/ulysses-s-grants-lifelong-struggle-with-alcohol.htm. Contrary to what I said before it doesn't indicate Grant was what we might call a moderate drinker today. But at the same time it doesn't support what Murphy said about his having a low threshold for drink that caused him to become so incapacitated after just three drinks.

The most thorough treatment, I think, is "The Trial of U.S. Grant: the Pacific Coast Years, 1852-1854", Charles G. Ellington, 1987. Ellington comes to substantially the same conclusion. That is: Grant was not a drunk and his resignation was almost certainly not over drinking; the myth was a product of the army rumor mill of the day. |

Personally I doubt it. I mean is there going to be something from Plutarch, Herodotus, Appian, or someone like that that says something like "Crassus was a well know lover of strong wines and was often unable to stand during a battle as he had already emptied six goat bladders before the start of the battle." I mean we probably have folks who would be able to answer my question for the last four hundred years, but I'm not so sure about the generals of the ancient world if anyone can say whether or not there was never an alcoholic who didn't win their war. |

Now that the health care laws here this day and more side effects popping up from the law despite the president promising it would lower cost.
Wal-Mart now warning its employees they'll have to pay up to 36% more for health insurance next year.
And an owner of dozens of Denny's restaurants is a lot will force him to cut workers' hours and -- prices.
By 5% on his customers and he's just one of many saying similar things our guys have been warning this what happened but how bad is this going to get.
Well hello everybody I'm Cheryl Casone and welcome to cash NN.
I catch it critics wait we have Wayne Rogers Jonathan -- Tracy Byrnes jog late killed and are different -- -- be back with us today.
So welcome to all of you can't Tracy you have one of -- on the show you're warning about the side effects of the health care law pop that's a -- acting -- -- bad already be unintended consequences are out of control share.
Look people are gonna get laid off we're hearing that -- read because companies just don't want to pay for health care.
If you have a job your average might get cut to part timer console and you know my brother just got hired as a -- good nobody wants -- pay health care anymore.
Of course then there's the premium angle of it we are just so I -- -- our premiums are going up because it is getting more expensive.
Everything is going to be affected by this and we've been -- since the day Pelosi said she had to go read the darn thing waves -- One of the biggest criticisms beside that I know your prison than in actually read the ultra -- put it that's it right.
But one of the big criticisms here is that there was no cost control in the -- so here we are.
It's going to be that way you know health care costs are rising everywhere and it's and it's a universal problem and that the -- that thing is that -- the people are gonna try to find ways to get around this in the sense that it's gonna cost them more and if they can find -- they'll do -- you got 2200.
Pages of -- that you're right nobody has read the people who administering -- haven't -- -- beginning to read -- we don't know what the ultimate cost is going to be they're gonna -- taxes that come out of this all kinds of other things that happen.
In the meantime if you hi are over.
And in this -- the what is considered a small business if there are fifteen people are less you are subject of one thing after your hiring more than fifty people you are subject does something else.
If those people work.
Thirty hours a week they're gonna come under Obama care if they work 28 hours a week a 29 hours a week.
They do not so what you gonna have his people cutting back the time that the people instead of a forty hour work week they'll have more people working at 48 -- right.
It's just -- he didn't -- kinda fall -- of anything you don't know yet.
You're right -- Christian thing -- the other point here and the question is are we gonna see more US companies do you think again the scaled back.
And kind of fudge the numbers it has several CEOs come on -- the business -- Christian and tell us that's what they're planning to do.
Well you know in a lot of cases where you're talking about restaurants -- -- and other in the food service industry this is what they've been doing for a decade or more.
So to all of a sudden link this to Obama cares really disingenuous you can't public.
They're -- yeah.
Being there this yeah insult you but that's what they that they are blaming there are coming on -- national somebody -- cents.
I have already when they -- already a lot.
They blame it -- they've already been doing it so they're blaming something that hasn't -- happened for something that they've already been doing.
And let's take a look at real world experience let's not speculate.
Very much resembles what obamacare is and since pull are Romney care was instituted in Massachusetts.
Employers covering their employees with -- insurance has gone up from 70%.
To 80% so we can take a real life example not just wild speculation and see that there -- absolutely no reason.
Why employers can't cover their employees of health care.
Well John went cold until April I will say this CEO this is not speculation these are facts is it has of his companies that are actually making these moves and cutting down and then you've got it for example of advent of the -- -- -- the forty restaurants out of Florida all the Denny's.
He cinematic cut back and a Mexican -- 5% of the bills.
Of my customers.
To keep those insure that -- have on the bucks and this is real.
Yeah and if this were a lot and this is not wild speculation this guy did he's he says that calls him an extra 5000 dollars per employee per year.
And he says of I have to cover all of our employees that's about a 175000.
Dollars for restaurant.
He -- a lot of our restaurants don't make a 175000.
Dollars so here's a guy who literally cannot afford -- care.
And what he's saying is I wanted to cut guys back to 28 hours those -- at the front.
Studies have grown -- had to get a second job because they can't afford to live just don't 48 hours a week of play.
And this is real life situations and these companies that problem we have is just like Tracy said we had no Health Care Reform.
Always -- it was insurance reforms to get more people into a broken system.
But Jonathan at this time it it you know what if you look at the average -- what many companies are doing what they're gonna -- were looking at an average of 9% higher premiums in 2013 and equality.
Extremists those top shelf plans and just cutting them out wal -- doing that but still offering health insurance.
What wal mart's Papa John's -- the mean the result of obamacare Cheryl is destruction.
That was Obama's goal -- in obamacare is not the fix health care.
-- was to destroy the last remaining vestiges of an actual free health care system in this country Obama talked openly about -- -- -- -- for single -- and of course we're seeing that play out now in practice -- every private option.
Is literally sucked out of existence.
I'm more worried about even the health care at some -- it's only that we're seeing health care options go away we're seeing.
Doctors leave the practice and leave the practice of medicine in massive scale health care in this country is about to be as good as the post office the DMV stay healthy.
But that's the thing like it there's no medical there's no we haven't fixed the problem because now you got people that are gonna turn did it.
Like Wal-Mart -- I don't look I didn't say opt out I don't wanna pay I wanna pay and Evan goes to the public exact.
That's them there -- single -- now -- Obama's goal yeah it's gonna destroy the medical system and basically we will lose all our quality doctors.
Christian -- wait wait -- that.
I hate to let facts get out and get in the way of all your story here about what tax credits you'll look if you look at restaurants were already 75% of restaurant employees are working part time.
So what we're talking about now was that they're gonna continue to have part time workers but those workers are now gonna have health insurance and what we're lamenting what -- all are lamenting is the fact that workers who were making an average of about 151000.
Dollars a year.
Are gonna actually actually have health insurance now that's the problem that you -- in our economy.
I think -- don't let anyone and it they're gonna have a at a job they don't have.
That's the hope white Christian I mean it's not just restaurants -- either striker is a company.
Actually -- headed by an Obama supporter they're laying off workers and at a restaurant company paramedic John -- company's self starters and you probably only has left little fire all of its employees they're not gonna do it because we can't take anybody you don't have employees select -- -- -- -- -- let's not pretend.
Okay what -- wouldn't bring in that would.
Let me read Wayne Rogers because wait what we're talking about here is maybe the companies and this is Christians point -- -- not.
Laying off people they may be just restructuring how they cover the employees.
That they have I mean is that a threat do you think to jobs are now.
All due respect a Christian Christian you mentioned that -- that the restaurant.
Businesses not necessarily represented -- I might -- as you well know what about a principal and a business we employ over 200 people.
It is going to be a big impact on not we -- not know yet what it's gonna -- do.
Are we gonna have to lay off some people yes we will probably have to lay off some people we will have to reschedule a lot of things a lot of things will be done.
We can't certainly absorb -- all that's for -- war.
So this thing has not been thought through by the by the bureaucracy and it wasn't -- fought fought through -- the people who wrote the bill.
They didn't know anything we got idiots running it now we're gonna have this try to solve this in some way -- it isn't going to be pleasant some people don't lose their jobs that is for sure.
And some people are going to get cut back and it is not necessarily going to be.
Universal health care surfers.
Just let us questioning all right is a -- -- before we go I don't ask you do you think that we're gonna see more Americans because they can't for the higher premiums.
Just drop their own health -- together.
Yeah I think we will -- -- what -- say about consultants you can call it contract labor I think that's where we're gonna go to system.
I don't think you can argue that health premiums are gonna go up because we did nothing for Health Care Reform there's no reason that up a heart procedure -- hospital calls fifty times as much and other hospital there's no transparency we have not dealt -- that we only -- in search reform.
That is going to exacerbate the fractures all right well -- Everybody great discussion thank you so much coming up.

Live Like King Edward VII at Rangemore Hall
The luxe Edward VII Wing at Rangemore Hall (above) in Burton-upon-Trent, England, has been listed for sale at £2.5 million or about $3.8 million, the London Daily Mail reports. Built for the Bass family of brewing fame, Rangemore Hall's owner Lord Burton constructed the wing for a visit from King Edward VII, known as "Dirty Bertie", and his bride Queen Alexandra in 1907. At 12,000-sq.-ft. it is far larger than the Hall itself, and includes a one-bedroom flat attached to the wing by a hidden staircase used to accommodate Edward's mistress Lillie Langtry. The wing features its own ballroom, seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, three reception rooms, a study and a strong room used to house the royals' family's crown jewels. Successive owners have renovated it to include a leisure complex completed in a Romanesque style and a heated swimming pool and jacuzzi. The wing overlooks 10 acres of parkland including two private lakes, a topiary garden with an in-set water feature, four-car garage and electronic gated private driveway.

We live in a new age for statistical inference, where modern scientific technology such as microarrays and fMRI machines routinely produce thousands and sometimes millions of parallel data sets, each with its own estimation or testing problem. Doing thousands of problems at once is more than repeated application of classical methods. Taking an empirical Bayes approach, Bradley Efron, inventor of the bootstrap, shows how information accrues across problems in a way that combines Bayesian and frequentist ideas. Estimation, testing and prediction blend in this framework, producing...

Statistics is the activity of inferring results about a population given a sample. Historically, statistics books assume an underlying distribution to the data (typically, the normal distribution) and derive results under that assumption. Unfortunately, in real life, one cannot normally be sure of the underlying distribution. For that reason, this book presents a distribution-independent approach to statistics based on a simple computational counting idea called resampling. This book explains the basic concepts of resampling, then system atically presents the standard statistical...

The Bi-Xenon headlight system is fitted as standard. The brightness of the lights is approximately twice as great as that of conventional halogen lights. Light output is improved and the road illuminated more uniformly on both dipped and main beam, helping to minimise driver fatigue. Also included is dynamic range control to prevent hazardous dazzling of oncoming vehicles due to undulations in the road or the loading of the car. A headlight cleaning function is also incorporated.
Dynamic cornering lights (standard on 911 Turbo S models, optional for 911 Turbo models) offer particularly effective illumination of the road ahead, especially through bends. Sensors continuously monitor the speed, lateral acceleration and steering lock and, from these variables, calculate the course of the bend. This determines the angle of illumination for the dipped beam lights, up to a maximum of 15 degrees. On twisting roads, this means the course of the road and obstacles can be seen earlier by the driver.
The lighting concept also benefits from the latest technology, in the form of high-performance LEDs for the horizontal front indicators and also for the separate daytime running lights, the taillights and the third brake light in the rear wing.
In addition to the distinctive look that makes the car very recognisable, the lighting also provides high illuminating power. The brake lights also respond very quickly, meaning that following traffic is alerted sooner. Plus the lighting saves energy, is environmentally sound and has a longer service life in comparison to conventional bulbs.
When the vehicle is opened or closed using the key remote, the 'Welcome Home' lighting function automatically switches on the LED daytime running lights.
Two additional lights inside each door ensure you see and are seen better when getting into and out of the car.

Identical to the classic units found in amusement parks, arcades, and boardwalks, this is the photo booth that can take and print a four-frame strip of pictures in 16 seconds. Unlike prior models that used chemical processes to develop pictures, this one uses a thermal printer exclusively designed by Polaroid, producing 2" H x 2" W 72-dpi monochrome images. The booth works just like its predecessors; individuals, couples, or groups press a button and pose for each of four pictures, taken in five-second intervals. The booth comes with two rolls of film that provide up to 3,200 pictures (or 800 sessions of four-frame photo strips). The booth is made of powder-coated 14-gauge steel. Plugs into AC. Please note that special conditions and guarantee limitations apply to this product. 74" H x 37" W x 60" L. (770 lbs.)

The Hunt
Time Out rating:
Time Out says
Tue Nov 27 2012
What does it feel like to be wrongly accused of being a paedophile? 'It gets into your bones… it gets into your soul,' Lord McAlpine said recently. In this nerve-shredding drama from Denmark, a good man's life is ripped apart by false allegations that he sexually abused a child. He didn't do it. The little girl fibbed (in the same way she might tell the teacher her best friend gave her a Chinese burn). But her innocent lie spreads like a virus, killing trust and goodness in a close-knit small town.
Mads Mikkelsen is best known for playing baddies – he was the villain who weeped blood in 'Casino Royale'. Here, he's the accused, Lucas, a teacher working as an assistant at a nursery after his school shuts down. The little girl, a pupil, is also his best friend's daughter. Lucas is none too worried at first – it'll all be sorted by teatime, right? The police are called. Parents are warned to be on the look-out for telltale symptoms, like bedwetting and nightmares (in children!). Lucas is branded a serial paedophile. The town goes from civilisation to the Dark Ages in about 15 minutes.
This is lean, fast-paced storytelling from director and writer Thomas Vinterberg, who made 'Festen' in 1998 (about a paedophile father who raped his children). This has the same stripped back docu-drama style. Which focuses our attention on the acting – and it's flawless. We watch the story play out in the reactions of everyone involved. As the only man working at the nursery, the kids adore Lucas. After hearing the allegations, a teacher watches him rough-play with some boys. We see the scene through her eyes. It looks suspicious. It really does.
These are all good people, and there's a kind of moral puzzle here. We always have to listen to children. Always. But what if your best friend was accused? Would you believe him? At the other end of the scale, what kind of world is it when a man can't hold hands with a child who isn't his own – in case someone accuses him of being a paedo?
Mikkelsen is gripping. There's a moment when it hits home that this is for real. You can see the change passing over his face: he will never see the world the same again. Nor will the world look at him the same, because, as we all know, there is no smoke without fire. What a knotty, frighteningly real drama 'The Hunt' is. And – in the light of the Jimmy Savile case and its fallout – what a very timely contribution to the issue it is.

Lucas' best friend said in one scene that he is going to put a bullet in his head if the abuse of his daughter turns out as true ... regarding this circumstance for me it may be most likely him than anyone else, because I don't relate any other character with this shooting-at-poor-Lucas-picture ... but this is at least pretty far-fetched and I agree with pthalo that it isn't really relevant who exactly took the shot, main thing is the audience knows it isn't over yet for some or someone in the village ;)

Regarding the shot at the end of the movie. While many will try to make claims of it as one person or another, that isn't really relevant. It does not matter who took the shot, only that it was taken. It was meant to communicate the continued animus that is felt toward Lucas. The set up was the arrival at the lodge and the seeming acceptance of Lucas back into the society he once enjoyed. The shot was to demonstrate that some have never accepted the truth and clung to the falsities presented in the story.
When someone is falsely accused of a crime, it is damaging beyond belief. Stigma and the hatred of others are not shed because it becomes apparent that the accusations were false. There will always be those that feel the accusation must have had merit.pthalo Mon Jul 29Rated as: 5/5 -
Wonderful film. Regarding the matter of who shot at lucas at the end, I suppose it is klara's brother. In one of the scenes it was shown as he was crying for what happened to his sister. Even in the scene at the end when the shooter shown in a shadow, it looks like a young boy.

I've just seen this for the second time. It is chilling, gripping, disturbing, plain delightful in parts and a reminder how everything can fall apart in a very short time. Mads is a great actor, but I don't think sufficient acclaim has been poured on the little girl. I'm not sure that a child of that age would have the nous to say to her parents, "I've said something foolish." But that's the script that didn't quite get that right. But otherwise, its a thought-provoking scene that everyone should watch.

Once the seed of doubt is planted, people don't forget. That seed of doubt grows into all kinds of things. People's opinions get carried away, people's imaginations run wild. Things that may or may not have happened become the foreground of people's darkest imaginations. People always assume the worst.

The movie is excellent. Show just how fast society "labels" someone, without a shred of evidence, especially when it's about their kids - he was lucky he didn't go to prison... People have this imprint in their brains that children represent innocence personified, when in reality children lie all the time. Even when the little girls admitted it at first to her mom (that she told a folly), her mom wouldn't have it... "your mind just doesn't want to remember honey"... As a closing joke, I'll keep clear of little kids :))) Hell, in my country girls of over 18 threaten University professors that they'll lie to the press and police that they had sex with them, thus destroying their careers and families, just so they can get a passing grade... and there is NO solution, because once the press get's hold of such "news" they'll spin it till even they believe it...

I also have the doubt about the shooter at the end. But I ti=hink is not possible to tell who shot. On the other hand maybe more important is why? Maybe the author wants to show that ppl do not forget, and haters and real bad ppl take advantage of the bad luck of others as an excuse to act like jerks?
