CP5 were guilty of violent felonies. The accusations of coercion and abuse in detainment and interrogation were proven propaganda (the netflix film was pure trash fiction -- it contradicts the record). But I know, they were just sweet kids looking to catch a game of chess at the park and were wrong place wrong time. The ideological Left are hopeless in matters of crime and
By their own admission they engaged in multiple assaults that night. All 5 members of the Central Park 5 admitted participating violent attacks that night. They were implicated by other suspects.Santana, McCray, and Richardson admitted their participation in assaults at their parole hearings. I believe it was Santana who declared they went to the park for the purpose of jumping innocent civilians. Salaam's lawyer argued his client couldn't have raped the jogger because he was beating somebody else up nearby at the time.
The media weren't interested in the facts of that night, only salivating at the idea that 5 violent menaces many enhance their careers, affirm their deluded world view, and provide virtue signaling opportunities. How were they going to explain away the facts and the boy's multiple confessions accompanied by their parents? CLAIM POLICE MISCONDUCT. They don't have to worry if that's true, the morons that eat this garbage up with a spoon will love it.
Santana: ""I had nothing to do with the rape. All I did was feel the woman's t*ts."
Wise per witness: "You heard about that woman that was beat up and raped in the park last night? That was us!"
Wise's friend: "he only held her legs down while Kevin (Richardson) f---ed her."
These kids were perpetrators of battery, assault, and at minimum accomplices and enablers of rape
Those degenerates were where they belong. They may have $41M, but they will get theirs.
These people watched the WM3 HBO docs and were like "INNOCENT"! All they had to do was to look at the case files for like 10 minutes. Let me guess, Michael Peterson from The Staircase and the inbred on Making a Murderer are innocent too? Poor babies, victimized by the Bad Policemen!
Can we save the virtue signaling for actual victims who did NOT commit violent crimes? Don't blame LE because some dumb violent kids told some lies in the course of saving their own a**.
