Trump's full page ad demanding the death penalty for the Central Park 5 -- who were later exonerated

[kpete]

Trump published this in the NY Daily News two years ago today in protest of the settlement by the city to the men wrongly convicted of that crime:


Trump says he's a believing Christian which is a stretch. He also says he's never had to ask God for forgiveness. He's perfect. But if he really is a believer this is transgression for which he really should beg absolution. He will go to hell in any case, but this one consigns him to the 9th circle.

1. As long as he never gets anywhere near the White House.

That works for me.

2. MAke the death penalty great again.

3. I remember that-- he was all over NYC news...

and when the exoneration came he just changed the subject.

Never apologized, never admitted he was wrong.

4. Off with their heads!! He is quite mad and trying to drag us down with him into his delusional world

[Quayblue]

5. He does a lot of attention seeking from the loud and wrong

Reminds me of 9th grade.

6. For the record, that ad didn't appear two years ago. It appeared in 1989

when the incident happened.

Trump posted a different letter about the settlement back in 2014.

8. Exactly correct! (n/t)

7. I remember all this like it happened two minutes ago.

Remember all that shit about "wilding" and "predator teens"??? Charles Stuart in Boston, etc.

This is why I have a difficult time taking fear mongering seriously.
