How ironic that both of those two are also sexual predators…wow. God will judge this scum, you are right about that. Go read about the case and the evidence and the trial and the appeals and the confessions and come back and tell me that this man is the best person. If you have a conscience and read those things you will retract your statement. Most people like this feel good stuff and don’t actually care about the truth so they don’t look into it. It’s pathetic but that’s how people are. God loves truth. You should too. Seek it.

Here is a interesting fact that the media is not explaining to you. During that time, all five of those boys were being judged, harshly by the entire city not just by Trump, Trump was the most prominent voice to call for such an execution, but he wasn’t the only one.

[@DutchDread]

Ahh yes, Trump is the horrible one, not the men who gangr**ed a woman, Trump is the cruel one for being against R**e and murder, sure.

[@JS-mg1mk]

The boys are all guilty. They weren't exonerated. Watch their confessions. Guilty as sin. There was no exoneration. It was a sentence vacation. Not the same and not a declaration of innocence like all of these harpies would have you believe.

[@alexbronco5987]

I grew up when this happened, and we must be aware how any false accusation can harm someone and their families forever, because i remember people from his own community believed what the media was saying. And were blaming them for those false accusations, especially after Trump paid for that ad in the NYT, especially just because people with money were supposed to be believable ,and honest, and those with out were not. Good thing we know better now, and with the internet how it is today, let's just be careful .

[@s.Kim34]

[@studytoshowthyselfapprove8301]

Trump did that as a Democrat & no one, except Al Sharpton cared about these men. However, they did leave home to participate in the assault festivities. If they stayed home, they would have never got blamed for rape in the first place.

His confession and the confessions of the other 4 accomplices are available online. There is little doubt that he was "wilding" that night in Central Park and attacked multiple people.

[@JS-mg1mk]

They weren't falsely accused. They all confessed. Are you aware of the fact that all of them were in police custody before Trisha Meiles body was even discovered due to other violent crimes they had committed? Are you aware that all of them confessed in extreme detail with corresponding stories in front of their parents? Are you aware that you can watch all of their confessions online? Please do more research into this case. This was one of the biggest instances of propaganda in our countrys history. Absolutely disgusting that they are being platformed after what they did.

​@@dominique21745 wasn't convicted of rape either. Only a bogus sexual assault claim-- with no tangible evidence whatsoever. Brandon however, keep creeping out young girls & women.

The sad part is, people think of slavery as a black person history. It isn't. The Slave Trade was set up by people in Africa, and probably is still practiced today. The Hebrews were enslaved in Egypt for centuries. Even in the US, as bad as slavery was/is, the culture that had the highest requirements to gain statehood was Utah/Mormons. Even Today, the price for a blond haired, blue eyed teenager that has been human trafficked is far more than her black counter part. Civil Rights is not Black History, it is all of Human History.
