Violent ads for a movie about blue state elitists hunting red state Trump supporters for sport have been pulled in the aftermath of the mass shootings. Studio executives say that they fear the tragedies will eclipse the ultra-dark and violent satire. TV station ESPN has yanked the trailer without waiting for Universal to make up its mind, opting not to air the clip at all in the next few weeks, according to a source at the station, reported RT. While one Universal insider claimed the studio was standing by producer Jason Blum, who has reliably turned out successful films including the “Purge” series and “Get Out,” they characterized the situation as “fluid” and warned things could change “if people think we’re being exploitative rather than opinionated.” While many worry about the ads for this movie causing more mass shootings, perhaps we should all be worried about those who created this movie and the thin and violent line we are walking on as a society. “We pay for everything, so this country belongs to us,” one of the hunters says in a trailer which is still available on YouTube. The hunters reportedly pick their “prey” based on social-justice sins like using racist language on social media. **The following video is a violent movie advertisement. It may not be suitable for all viewers. There are depictions of blood, gore, and death. Like Blum’s other hits, the film (originally called “Red State vs. Blue State”) features dark satirical undertones beneath all the violence, depicting a handful of “deplorables” who gradually realize they’ve been kidnapped and deposited into a high-end “private hunting experience” for wealthy liberals. While one filmmaker questioned whether “The Hunt” was not “the most craven, irresponsible, dangerous exploitation” in the wake of the recent tragedies, a Universal executive doubled down on the film’s value as biting social commentary, explaining it is “meant to show what a stupid, crazy world we live in.” –RT The Hunt is scheduled for release on September 27.

So I watched the trailer and it was pretty gruesome but some things don't add up. Liberals by and large hate guns, so in this movie the premise seems unlikely. Also when word got out, conservative gun owners would take to arms and fight back. Maybe they eventually do in the film, I don't know. And the scene where some good folks are blown up by a Bouncing Betty? That seems unlikely as well. Where would a liberal get one of those let alone know how to properly use it without blowing themselves up real food?
On Rush's show yesterday, he mentioned hearing from Nick Searcy, conservative actor ('Justified' and others) that the movie is not quite what we seem to think it is based on trailers and little info to date. I've always liked Searcy as an actor and brave conservative in Hollyswamp. So I'm going to wait and see on this one.
So I'm going to wait and see on this one. Yeah, hard to tell from the trailer what the entire film is going to be. I'm guessing it will be similar to The Purge. BTW - thanks for the heads-up on Nick Searcy. I'll have to check and see what other movies he has been in. Not many "out" conservative actors in Hollywood these days.
Government is in the last resort the employment of armed men, of policemen, gendarmes, soldiers, prison guards, and hangmen.

The essential feature of government is the enforcement of its decrees by beating, killing, and imprisoning.
Those who are asking for more government interference are asking ultimately for more compulsion and less freedom.
