I love this oh so very much!!! Meanwhile one of the people guilty of whipping up public sentiment against these teens is facing four different criminal cases.
While most people know Trump took out a full page ad calling for Salaam's execution, not many are aware he doubled down on his decision during the 2016 election. He said that the Central Park Five wouldn't have been arrested if they weren't doing _something_ wrong.

This was one of the innocent guys, remember, that Donald Trump took out a full page ad about in the NYT recommending they be put to death.
Has that fat fuck ever been right about anything in his entire. long, misspent life?
Didn’t he want the Central Park Five hung and quartered?
