#1 Jewell was an easy target for the media to make fun of. He was a downtrodden man, he wasn’t overly impressive as an individual on your first look, he lived with his mother and he didn’t have a ton of money.

A sad but true commentary on the American justice system, the media, and the FBI.

#2 I watched this. The Feebs REALLY come off looking bad, BATFE comes off looking OK, and there's a surprise twist I didn't know about.

No idea how accurate it is, but it's worth watching.

#3 Btw a great movie directed by Clint Eastwood. The actress who plays the bitch journalist is convincingly awful -- chilling even. The Don Draper actor does a good job as her FBI sap.

The no-name who played Jewell is extraordinary, as is Kathy Bayes as his mom.

#4 It is a good series. It illustrates why the FBI should be disbanded.

#5 Maybe hand authority to ATF or amp the Treasury Department. But FBI looks more rotted every year.

I AM happy more people pay attention to the injustice of the Jewell case.

Manhunt is a good series. Too bade netflix gave it the axe.

Also, GOD Bless Richard Jewell.

#6 What is cool is Eastwoods "Richard Jewell" is on as I write this.

Needless to say, I am a fan of Sam Rockwell
