ONE OF THE EARLIEST, REALLY HIGH-PROFILE RACIST ACTS IN THE
MEDIA FROM DONALD TRUMP CAME ABOUT IN 1989
DURING THE CENTRAL PARK FIVE JOGGER CASE.
IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE CASE, WHICH HAPPENED IN
MANHATTAN, A 28-YEAR-OLD BANKER WHO HAD BEEN JOGGING AT NIGHT IN
CENTRAL PARK WAS RAPED, BLUDGEONED WITH A ROCK, AND WAS
FOUND HOURS LATER TIED UP, STRIP, AND SUFFERING FROM
HYPOTHERMIA AND BRAIN DAMAGE, WHICH INCLUDED NOT BEING
ABLE TO REMEMBER THE DETAILS OF WHAT HAPPENS DURING THAT CASE.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER, A GROUP OF FIVE TEENAGE BOYS WHO WERE IN
THE PARK AT THE TIME AND WERE SUSPECTED OF BEING INVOLVED IN
ANOTHER CRIME, WERE ARRESTED AND QUESTIONED OVER TWO DAYS, TIME
DURING WHICH THE SUSPECT SAID THEY WERE WITHHELD FROM
SLEEP AND FOOD, ADMITTED THAT THEY HAD COMMITTED THE
CRIME, AND THEN LATER SAID THEY HAD NOT COMMITTED THE CRIME.
IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT FOUR OF THE
FIVE WERE BLACK, AND ONE WAS HISPANIC.
SOME PEOPLE CAME OUT IN THE MEDIA QUITE SURE OF WHAT
SHOULD HAPPEN TO THESE INDIVIDUALS, INCLUDING
DONALD TRUMP, WHO PUBLISHED THIS: A FULL PAGE AD.
BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY, BRING BACK OUR POLICE.
ONE SMALL PORTION OF THAT, WHICH CAN FIND ONLINE, SINCE I
WANT TO HATE THESE MOTHERS AND MURDERERS.
THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO SUFFER, AND WHEN THEY KILL THEY
SHOULD BE FORCED TO SUFFER FOR THEIR CRIMES.
THIS SHOWS THAT DONALD TRUMP, LIKE MANY IN THIS COUNTRY,
DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MANY PEOPLE COMMIT ACTS OF CRIME AND MURDER.
THEY DO IT BECAUSE THEY THINK IF I GET PUT IN JAIL FOR 70
YEARS, THAT'S NOT SO BAD.
OH MY GOD, THEY'LL KILL ME, I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT.
BUT HE'S SIMPLISTIC SO THAT'S WHAT HE THOUGHT.
TURNS OUT THAT SHE WASN'T THEM IN THE END IT ALL.
2002, ANOTHER MAN CONFESSED TO THE ASSAULT AND HIS DNA DID
MATCH SEMEN THAT WAS FOUND ON THE VICTIM.
NO DNS ñ NO EVIDENCE WAS FOUND TO CONVICT ANY OF THE
CENTRAL PARK FIVE TO THE CRIME.
THEY WERE EXONERATED AND LATER PAID $41
MILLION IN A SETTLEMENT.
YOU COULD THINK THAT THEY WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS BECAUSE OF
THE PROXIMITY, LIKE DONALD TRUMP DID, BUT THEY CAN BE WRONG.
THAT WAS 14 YEARS AGO THAT WE FOUND OUT WHO ACTUALLY DID
IT, AND HE WAS ASKED ABOUT THE CENTRAL PART FIVE AND SAID
THIS: THEY ADMITTED THEY WERE GUILTY.
THE POLICE WHO DID THE ORIGINAL INVESTIGATION SAID THEY
WERE GUILTY.
THE FACT THE CASE WAS SETTLED WITH SO MANY ñ
SO MUCH EVIDENCE AGAINST THEM WAS RIDICULOUS, AND THE
WOMAN SO BADLY INJURED WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.
HE STILL SAYS THEY DIDN'T AND SHOULD BE KILLED FOR IT.
I ACTUALLY THINK THIS IS THE SINGLE WORST THING I'VE HEARD
ABOUT TRUMP AND THAT IS A HELL OF A THING TO SAY.
JUST LIKE JOHN SAID,, IN THE BEGINNING YOU DEMAGOGUE ON
IT AND MY GOD YOU WERE SO WRONG.
WHAT IF THEY HAD ACTUALLY EXECUTED THOSE KIDS?
THEY GOT A $41 MILLION SETTLEMENT FOR A REASON,
THERE WAS NO QUESTION THAT THEY DID NOT DO IT.
THE GUY WHO CONFESSED TO THE CRIME IN 2002, HIS DNA MATCHES.
THERE IS NO QUESTION, HE IS A SERIAL RAPIST AND MURDERER.
IT'S THAT GUY.
FOR HIM TO SAY, I DON'T CARE, WE SHOULD HAVE EXECUTED THE
BLACK KIDS ANYWAY, OH MY GOD.
THAT SHOWS YOU THAT IF HE'S PRESIDENT, THE MOST POWERFUL MAN
ON EARTH, DOES NOT CARE ABOUT EVIDENCE AT ALL.
DOES NOT CARE ABOUT FACTS.
YOUR THINKING CARES ABOUT IS HIS EGO.
SO EVEN IF HE IS PROVEN WRONG, HE WILL NOT CHANGE HIS MIND.
HE PRESIDENT TRUMP, WE SHOULD NOT LAUNCH THE NUKES, IT
TURNS OUT WE WERE WRONG AND THEY DID NOT LAUNCH AGAINST US.
TURNS OUT WE WERE WRONG ABOUT X, Y OR Z.
NO, I'M NEVER WRONG, EXECUTE THEM ANYWAY.
WHAT KIND OF A MONSTER WOULD WANT TO TAKE IT OUT ON
THOSE INNOCENT KIDS ANYWAY?
ARE YOU REALLY THAT BAD?
ARE YOU A CONSERVATIVE WHO THINKS, I DON'T CARE THAT
THEY ARE NOT GUILTY, I'M WITH DONALD?
THEY ARE GUILTY, EVEN THOUGH EVERYONE IN THE WORLD INCLUDING
THE NEW YORK COPS, PROSECUTORS, EVERYBODY IN NEW YORK SAYS THEY
ARE NOT GUILTY!
BUT NO, I'M WITH HIM, IF HE THOUGHT IT WAS A BLACK IT'S
IN THE BEGINNING IT'S THE BLACK KIDS AND I'M NOT GOING TO
HAVE A CONVERSATION ABOUT IT.
IF YOU AGREE WITH THAT, YOU'RE JUST AS LUSTROUS AS HE IS.
AND THEN THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON SAYING BASKET OF
DEPLORABLE.
THESE ARE HIS SUPPORTERS.
THESE OTHER PEOPLE WHO SAY WHEN THE POLICE DID A BLACK
PERSON, HE DIDN'T COMPLY.
EVEN IF HIS HANDS WERE UP, HE DIDN'T COMPLY.
TO COME SUPPORTERS, TO SAY THESE FIVE BLANKETS DID IT, THEY
ARE ALL LIKE, YEAH COURSE THEY DID IT.
THEY WERE FOR BLACK KIDS AND A LATIN KID.
TO THEM, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE THAT THEY DID IT AND ñ THAT THEY
WERE EXONERATED FOR IT, IT'S THE LIBERALS GOING EASY ON CRIME AND
WE SHOULD BE TOUGHER ON CRIME.
AND YOU KNOW, IF YOU KILLED FIVE OF THEM, I BET IF THEY WERE
BEING RECORDED OR THEY DO NOT THINK YOU WERE LISTENING, WELL
THEY WERE GUILTY OF SOMETHING ELSE SO WE KILLED THEM, WHO
CARES?
THIS WAS ALSO A BAD TIME, THIS WAS THE TIME THAT LED TO HILLARY
CLINTON'S SUPER PREDATOR THING.
THIS WAS THE TIME WHEN IT WAS THOUGHT THERE WERE ROVING
PACKS OF KIDS AND ALL THAT STUFF.
WILDING.
IT WAS THE COMMON BELIEF.
BUT NOW TO SAY AFTER SCIENCE, DNA HAS PROVED THEY ARE
INNOCENT, TO SAY THEY ARE GUILTY, HE IS TALKING TO
HIS BASE.
THE REALLY INTERESTING PART OF THAT IS, FOR THOSE GUYS, IT
ISN'T ABOUT THE CRIME.
IT'S ABOUT THE RACE.
SO HERE ME OUT ON THIS.
.
YOU SAY, I'VE GOT THE ACTUAL CRIMINAL, THE GUY WHO WAS RAPING
AND KILLING, I'VE GOT THE GUY.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT, I WANT TO PUNISH THE OTHER GUYS.
WHY?
BECAUSE IT'S NOT ABOUT THE CRIME.
BECAUSE TO THEM THE GUILTY ARE THE BLACKS.
BECAUSE GUYS, ALL THIS THIRST FOR VENGEANCE AGAINST THESE KIDS
AND ñ IN THIS CASE.
THE OTHER THING THAT DRIVES ME CRAZY, I WAS A PROSECUTOR
FOR A VERY BRIEF OF TIME, JUST AS AN INTERN, A COUPLE OF
SUMMERS, BUT I THOUGHT ABOUT BEING A PROSECUTOR FOR A LIVING.
THAT'S BECAUSE I HAVE EMPATHY AND I CARED ABOUT THE VICTIMS.
DON'T YOU CARE ABOUT THE VICTIMS AT ALL?
IF YOU CARE ABOUT THE VICTIMS, YOU'D WANT TO GET THE RIGHT GUY.
YOU'D WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT HE DID NOT VICTIMIZE ANYONE ELSE
AND THAT YOU GOT JUSTICE FOR THAT POOR WOMAN WHO WAS
BLUDGEONED AND RAPED AND NEARLY MURDERED IN SUCH TERRIBLE SHAPE.
BUT YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT.
YOU CARE ABOUT, LET'S GO GET THOSE GUYS WHETHER THEY ARE
GUILTY OR NOT, AND THAT SAYS A LOT ABOUT THOSE GUYS WHO
THINK THAT WAY.
