Rubin Carter explains on the first page of his autobiography, The Sixteenth Round, that his name, Hurricane, "provides an accurate description of the destructive forces that rage within my soul." The book as a whole reveals a man with a frightening potential for violence and vengeance--Judge Larner and the all-white jury that convicted him must hope in the interest of their own physical safety that Hurricane be kept behind bars. No mediating agent stands between Hurricane's sense of injustice and the outside world. When as a boy a white drunk tried to rape a member...

He is, in fact, like a lot of liberal candidates, that is, intuitive, confused, with potentiality to be led by his emotions. Now you say, "Whether Ritchie and Larner feel this process necessary, and McKay's actions morally justified, is unclear."
