[@browngirlafrica1793]

They are closet racists. Like in the days of lynching, they don't see Black people as human. So, it doesn't matter to them what happens to Black people. If CP5 were White, the same person would have spent 85K on ads demanding their release. And if the jogger had been Black, they would have vilified her - she met up with her drug dealer in the park and got killed in a fight; she asked for it, going there at night; she must have been a prostitute etc. See how they pamper White school shooters? Even when apprehended with a gun, they don't treat them the way they did the CP5. Structural racism and inequality.

[@angelaglenn4able]

So this has forced me to do more research on the case of the Central Park Five, particularly Korey Wise because it's so much that is missing from his story. I was so touched my part 4. I cried too mostly from Mr. Wise story. This was so horrific for these guys at the at of 14 thru 16 years of age. However, Korey wise suffered so much pain in the prison at 16 and all his innocence was trapped in those walls in the holes of prison. Today it seems he suffers from PTSD and other illnesses that may not have a name yet because everyone in prison took advantage of him for being naive and 16. As Jharrell says here, that it's hard for the real Korey Wise because he is still trapped in his 16 year old mindset. That's make the pain even greater. I have one question, what happened to the officers at the first and second prison that let those guys beat that kid until he was bleeding and passed out? Did they go to prison, do they owe him financially for what he suffered under their direction? Did they apologize? Why we haven't exposed them more?

[@katlap3101]

jadavision, Ava mentioned that everyone all the people who were portrayed in the movie were told or informed they would be casted etc. I don’t know if those officers were contacted but she did research on most of the cops who were instrumental in the case and nothing happened to them. Basically they weren’t held accountable for anything they did so it just shows you nobody was held accountable which makes me very angry. Those cops and prosecution advanced their careers by throwing away 5 innocent lives into hell on earth. And the real perpetrator assaulted 2 more women afterwards. Look at how many lives and families were impacted by the cops and prosecutors.

[@angelaglenn4able]

@@katlap3101 Just amazing that this happened, even when found innocent the people who broke the law to get this guys convicted, did not receive any punishment for their wrong doing. Justice has not been served.

[@katlap3101]

jadavision, no and I hope they go after the prosecutor. She needs to be held accountable for what she had done. She is receiving backlash now but that not enough. I can’t even begin to tell you but I am sure you feel it too how wrong this whole system is for allowing this to happen.

Talented actors! God bless the real 5 that went through this crazy life!

This series was so incredibly hard to watch, but it was so important and every last one of these kids, especially Jharrel Jerome, deserve awards and lifelong recognition for their incredible performances. Im still blown away.

Jharell jerome was looking like Kendrick Lamar in his look up scenes

Yes!

i feel like all of these guys younger and older did a amazing job. the fact that they were able to make it seem as if they were really going through the rough patch that the real guys did is amazing!! and not saying that the guy that played korey is any better than the rest but the fact that his part of the story was longer and they showed him more in depth than the others .. it takes a lot to be able to play that role having your whole life taken from you . i just wanna say VERY well done can’t wait to see these boys get grammys!

These men are so well spoken, good for them. I’m glad it’s actors like these that play the brave men that were mistreated by the system.

the casting was honestly perfect, every actor played their roles so well, it was outstanding.
