It was the last straw in tolerating crime in what many have called the most beautiful work of art in America. (Central Park IS an art work, it was designed and built...with foot bridges, lakes and elaborate pathways. Before it was hand-carved into a showpiece of fields and wooded areas, it was a mile of dirt, bog and shanties).
At the time, "wilding" was the new fad among the city's young monkeys (of any color), and it involved racing through a store stealing everything in sight, being rowdy after one of those obnoxious "ethnic pride" parades, and/or going out in a wolf pack to assault somebody for sex or money or both.
The jogger, an investment banker, was so viciously assaulted she's still not right in the head. There was so little blood left in her body it seemed she would die. Very quickly, five monkeys were arrested, and they began to confess. NOW it turns out they were, of course, coerced into creating some pretty elaborate and believable versions of what happened to the jogger. Most, if not all, were juvenile delinquents with records for criminal activity. They were in the park for no good reason.
After many years, some jerk actually admitted that he, alone, had attacked and raped the jogger...doing damage that it seemed only could've been done by a wolf pack.
The climax to this story is that in this wimpy world of litigation and Liberals, the Fabulous Five not only got their exoneration but, at long last, got...DA MONEY. So dey can get DA BLING. So dey never gotta work. Play video games all day. And their attorneys can laugh all the way to the bank with THEIR percentage.
OK, they were young, they were stupid to confess. Most ghetto teens know enough to shout "I ain't dun nuffin" and stick to it till proven guilty. The fact remains, their very convincing stories were told in the media and at the time, everyone believed it all. "He took her pants down, I hit her with a brick..." and on and on.
But 40 MILLION? When people who've suffered legitimate and permanent damage due to city negligence often get...NOTHING??
Of course it's a bit humorous that the main person complaining is a billionaire, and one who has gone to the courts over and over with frivolous lawsuits demanding millions from beauty contestants and comedians and anyone else who got within sight of his gimlet eyes.
Still, the arch conservative Republican Trump IS right. 40 MILLION is too much to everyone except NYC or GOOGLE. Hey, why not have GOOGLE pay for it, and have those lovable boys drawn as Google Doodles, swinging from trees, happily counting their cash?
