    The point of all this is that Trump always misses a great opportunity to shut up. Trump's brain works like a gum ball machine. Put a little stimulus in, the gum ball drops down from his brain, and pops his mouth. It's funny except when it's not.

    According to what you wrote, he put the article in the paper after they had confessed. Like I said before, you should be going after the prosecutor who coerced the confession.

    OIC,...sorta. OK, that's a valid sentiment.
    But isn't Trump STILL saying they should be executed?

    Maybe not now but I do recall he was still down on them several months after they were released. And he hasn't apologized yet. Kriman you deserve credit, but I think Trump doesn't,

    Before a trial had been held and before any convictions secured, the mainstay of American jurisprudence pertained: Innocent until proven guilty.

    The Blowhard launched a media campaign to kill the five teenagers before a verdict had been issued.

    They were subsequently exonerated, but what if the Blowhard had succeeded in his demand that they be killed?

    How about a full-page apology as a part of his campaign so that the campaign pays for it.

    How about Mayor DeBlasio apologizing?
    "The mini-series is a dramatized account based on the experiences of Korey Wise, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana, Antron McCray and Yusef Salaam, who are known as the Central Park Five. They were imprisoned for several years before another man, Matias Reyes, confessed in 2002 that he had committed the crime. When their lawsuit against the city was settled for $41 million in 2014 by the administration of Mayor Bill de Blasio, no wrongdoing was admitted on the part of the investigators."

    DiBlasio has nothing to apologize for. Compensation was withheld for years prior to DiBlasio awarding 41 million to the CP Five

    How about apologizing for his city for their injustice to the five? Admitting the city committed a crime when they coerced the confessions?

    Trump ran a full page add with no information (normal for him who operates based on his "gut"), without paying a price for his screw-up. The suit was settled for 41 million dollars, so the city paid a price and did not have to admit to it because the settlement said it all. And you are going after the wrong Mayor. That statement was to protect them from legal action. Of course, Trump never admits when he is wrong and you elected this dreamboat as your president?

    No information would imply that they did not confess. Why should Trump apologize when the city did not since it was their screw up to start with? By the way. I did not vote for him.

    They admitted their screw-up by paying big bucks. I have already explained the other part. Trump flew off at the mouth. When are
    you people going to realize that your boy acts without facts and based on his "gut"? Stop covering for him. He was dead wrong.

    That applies only to men with integrity, conscience and honor. DJT has none of the above.

    Don't prejudge based upon the overwhelming evidence.

    When he keeps his promise to release his tax returns, that may reveal him to be a scrupulously honest and selfless patriot.

    True. That still doesn't address Trump calling for these young men's heads.

    Why? If a person is a threat to innocent people what difference does it make if they are 17 or 21?

    So you are admitting that the abortion rights people want to execute people before they were born? Nice of you to openly admit that. I think we've reached a breakthrough.

    At least the people I support killing are a threat to other people.

    no one was born to be executed, it's just a medically induced miscarriage(abortion)

    many have died during childbirth, only the mother can choose to risk her life to have a baby
