It's not like he's really concerned when people get killed by mass shooting.

“Loosely based on the 1924 short story The Most Dangerous Game, by Richard Connell,[6] the film follows 12 strangers who mysteriously wake up in a clearing.[2][7][8] They do not know where they are or how they got there. They discover that they have been chosen to be hunted in a game devised by a group of people from the rich elite.[2][9] The hunters gather in a remote facility called the Manor House, but their sport gets derailed when one of the hunted, Crystal (Betty Gilpin), fights back and starts killing them one by one.[10] “

as well as how the script of this movie refers to cast members portraying the prey/his prey???; seems as well that a woman initiates the "creepy" revenge on the predators. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunt_(2020_film) i.e.,

"The elite hunters’ reference to their quarry as “deplorables” is an allusion to a phrase ("basket of deplorables&quot used by Hillary Clinton during the 2016 United States presidential election campaign to refer to supporters of then-presidential candidate, Donald Trump.[3] An early draft of the script depicted working-class conservatives as the film's heroes.

Only he's allowed to incite his own base to have bright ideas, you know:

Last flick (directed by Spike Lee): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlacKkKlansman

" The film is based on the 2014 memoir Black Klansman by Ron Stallworth. The film stars John David Washington as Stallworth, along with Adam Driver, Laura Harrier, and Topher Grace. Set in the late-1970s Colorado Springs, the plot follows the first African-American detective in the city's police department as he sets out to infiltrate and expose the local Ku Klux Klan chapter."

"BlacKkKlansman premiered on May 14, 2018, at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Grand Prix. It was theatrically released in the United States on August 10, 2018, a day before the first anniversary of the Unite the Right rally. The film received acclaim from critics, who praised the performances (particularly of Washington and Driver) and timely themes, as well as noting it as a return to form for Lee. It received six nominations at the 91st Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director (Lee's first directing nomination), and Best Supporting Actor for Driver, and won for Best Adapted Screenplay, making it Lee's first competitive Academy Award. The American Film Institute also selected it as one of the top 10 films of the 2018, and at the 76th Golden Globe Awards it earned four nominations, including Best Motion Picture – Drama."


Jason Blume spends his dough to reveal the sickness in the monsters among us!

You can go to any gun show and buy a 'liberal hunting license', with all kinds of rollicking notices about how the season for hunting liberals is open all year, and there are no bag limits.

In practical fact, the desire of some on the right to go 'liberal hunting' is a real factor in our political life. There have been a few shootings over the years already stemming from this desire.

Inverting this to liberal elitists hunting decent Trump-loving white folks is sure to feed into these people's desire to feel they are under persecution, which they ought to resist, and resist with violence.

The people behind this movie are idiots, and dangerous idiots into the bargain.
