Docu-Series on the Central Park 5. Extremely hard to watch, but a great depiction of what happened. Worth it in the end....but still a rough watch.

Will binge watch after work today. Two days before the NBA Finals fires back up, should be able to knock it out in two days.

Watch this. You can root for the West Side Boys.

In the end, you wake up and the SAS is coming for you....you better have Ken Burns on speed dial.

Do you watch anything that doesnt have the white devil?

TIA


Huh? The fact you would frame a docu-series on one of the most impactful cases on juvenile law as me just wanting to watch the "white devil" is moronic. 5 kids.... 5 freaking kids were locked up for 18 hours being assaulted, berated, coerced and traumatized without council, without their parents present. They were then convicted of a crime that contained absolutely no physical evidenced and ultimately spent 5-13 years locked up for something they did not do. Four attempted to appeal and lost. Then they got to split a freaking 45 million dollar settlement 5 ways which is nowhere near enough for one of the largest miscarriages of justice this country have ever seen. I don't give a damn about their color, but somehow it seems par for the course they were black and this happened. So sit down and shut up you incompetent ***. You may not like that **** like this IS A REALITY, A HORROR MOVIE for people who are black even today, but that doesn't change the fact that this is true.... and it continues to happen today.

OP, i think what he was saying was, would have have posted about it and started a thread on it if 5 white kids where the ones who where railroaded ? Color to me is irrelevant, it was a horrible ordeal and to me, criminal. But the guy asked was the reason you posted about it was because they where black kids it happen to. I do not think he meant anything negative about the actual kids it happen to, it was very disgusting and the prosecutor should have been convicted of a crime of some sort and fired.

Sean, I think what Phatty is trying to say is that the Paddock liked you better when you weren't on a soapbox preaching and cramming racial injustice threads down our throats.

Don't get me wrong though: We still hated you then, just less than we hate you now.

A roaming group of more than 30 youths between the ages of 13 and 17 were suspected of assaulting other joggers, throwing rocks at bicyclists and harassing an elderly homeless man.

Were those kids not part of the group of 30 kids that were attacking joggers and beating up homeless people in Central Park?

Nobody is disputing that it was a horrible miscarriage of justice -- but that's All. You. Do. Dude you are Jan Brady, except instead of "Marsha, Marsha, Marsha" you whine, "Racial injustice, racial injustice, racial injustice." Geez man, give it a break already.

I ask you a question you skipped over. If they where white kids convicted, would have posted about it ? I mean injustice is injustice, it knows no colors. It happening to a black kid / white kid / brown kid does not make any more or less of a injustice. The one poster was asking you if you would have posted about it if it had been white kids. If it only matters to you that injustice is happening to black kids, then that kind of is a racial issue there, is it not ? Serious question.

Myself, i talk about things regardless of the color of the skin of the victim.

In the 80s it was called wilding. They were innocent of rape and should not have been convicted of rape. They were guilty of other things. A horde of people ganging up and beating up innocent bystanders is not something to shed tears about 30 years later.

They were with them, yes, but simply being "with" a group of which some did bad things does not implicate all. Not one of them had any physical evidence that implicated them in any wrongdoing. The only physical evidence at all was the bruise on ones eye they received from the POLICE hitting him with a helmet. If I go somewhere with a crowd, which many are unknown and 2 people of the 30 do something, that doesn't equate to 1) me being guilty of anything or 2) a justification for railroading 5 people who did nothing and coercing fake confessions without the presence of a lawyer or a parent.

This is completely false. They were innocent of rape and every other charge. If they were guilty of any of the assaults there would have been a multitude of evidence present. Bruised Knuckles, Fingerprints, Blood, Mud on their jeans, eyewitness testimony, people would have been able to identify their assailants and much much more. These kids didn't do ****. Again the threshold is REASONABLE DOUBT. There were **** tons of reasonable doubt and again, absolutely no physical evidence. The timeline even had to be manipulated. Casey Anthony goes free yet somehow these kids get pinned for charges for "being part of a crowd". That is not how the law or the justice system works.

How do feel about the black guy that threw the 5 year old white kid over the balcony in Minnesota at the mall just because the kid was white?
Does that racist kind of act draw your ire? He was also Muslim I believe.
I can imagine the outrage and publicity this would have gotten had it been a white guy that threw a 5 year old black kid over the balcony. Hypocrisy in media is to the point nobody believes them at all. I sure dont.

So Sean, I take it you were there?

They're running with a horde but yet they didn't do anything. I guess they just watched all those other guys beat up people up huh?

Hey Sean, you're an idiot.

Do you understand how the Justice System works? The fact you say "black kids running in a horde" equated to them all being guilty of criminal acts shows your own racist bias. I know that on the charges of Assault, Robbery, Riot, Rape, Sexual Abuse, and Attempted Murder that Antron McCray, Yusef Salaam, Korey Wise, Kevin Richardson and Raymond Santana were accused of--there was not a shred of PHYSICAL EVIDENCE outside of coerced confessions that implicated them in any way. I know that the 3 victims of the assaults were deposed, sat in court and said their perpetrator was NOT sitting in the court-room. They literally had not 1, not 2, but 3 eye witnesses that stated they WERE NOT the kids who did those things. They were exonerated on all charges. ALL.

You are right. I was not there. But 3 of the victims sat in a court room and said those were not the kids that inflicted harm on others----yet they paid for something they did not do for 5-13 years.


Sit down with you innately racist and inaccurate sentiment of "well they were in the park with those other kids and they are black so THEY GOT TO BE GUILTY OF SOMETHING." That is PRECISELY what lead to this injustice in the first place you clown.

Yet somehow--- I am the idiot?

I know he threw a kid off the balcony, but I've only read where he was pissed at being rejected by women and decided to kill someone at random.

Did he say it was because the kid was white?

You're wasting your breath. I'm guilty of that on here as well, at times.

Even IF they stomped someone out in that group (not proven, no evidence, etc), they still didn't deserve to be railroaded by the cops into years of prison for something they were/are innocent of.

Were any black kids in the park guilty of anything that night?

You're the most racist bastard on here.


So if someone says they didn't do something in court they didn't do it?

All the kids in that horde were guilty of assault.

I guess the fairy godmother went around beating up everyone didn't she. Sean says wilding didn't exist in the late 80s. Kind of like you and Sean celebrate when you watch the knockout game. Whitey had it coming, didn't he. Congratulations, you're only slightly smarter than Sean.

By the way I've known about the Central Park rapist case since 1989, when did you two chumps learn about it?
