Washington (CNN)Few people in New York City -- and, perhaps, the country -- who followed the news in 1989 could forget the "Central Park Jogger" rape case.
The brutal crime shook the city. 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, stripped and suffering from hypothermia and brain damage.
A group of five teenage boys who were in the park at the time and who may have been involved in committing other crimes were arrested for the assault. After extended questioning over two days -- during which the suspects claim they were deprived of sleep and food -- police say they confessed to the crime. None acknowledged actually raping the victim, instead pointing fingers at the others.
The viciousness of the crime, which came in the midst of New York's crack epidemic and a spiraling crime rate, coupled with the fact that the victim was white and four of the suspects were black and one was Latino, added to the city's racial tensions.
Two weeks after the attack, Donald Trump took out full-page ads in four of the city's newspapers with the blaring headline, "Bring Back The Death Penalty. Bring Back Our Police!"
Trump did not specifically call for the youths charged in the jogger attack to be executed. But he was clear that people like them should face severe punishment for such crimes.
"I want to hate these muggers and murderers," he wrote. "They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes. They must serve as examples so that others will think long and hard before committing a crime or an act of violence."
There were no witnesses to the attack. The victim had no memory of it, and DNA evidence was in its infancy and was not presented at the trial. The five youths were convicted almost exclusively on their confessions, which they testified were coerced by detectives.
In 2002, another man, a convicted rapist and murderer, confessed to the assault, and his DNA did match semen that was found on the victim. No DNA evidence has been found to tie any of the Central Park 5 to the crime.
The Central Park 5 were exonerated, and in 2014, New York paid them a $41 million settlement.
But Trump still is not buying their innocence.
"They admitted they were guilty," Trump said this week in a statement to CNN's Miguel Marquez. "The police doing the original investigation say they were guilty. The fact that that case was settled with so much evidence against them is outrageous. And the woman, so badly injured, will never be the same."
Since Trump obviously still believes that the Central Park 5 are guilty, it cannot be said he is lying or even misleading. But he is undoubtedly holding steadfast to an opinion in the face of DNA evidence to the contrary and the fact that the Central Park 5 have been exonerated by the legal system.

Honestly, all rich ppl should be like to their children : 'I ain't giving you **** until you raise a million on your own'
That's what I'd do to my children if I was rich. I'd pay for their housing, education, food and I'll give them one gift a birthday and on Xmas but after that they on their own
I would have a clock that counts down to when they 21 and I'd remind them.. 'When that clocks turns zero I ain't giving you ****'

I will always hate Mike Bloomberg. He is a sws piece of **** in my book. While I like to taunt Ninja about Bloomberg hating Trump, I still hate dude.
Mark Cuban is all right I guess, he just seems really out of touch about some issues.

chubby aka male sarah palin is so divisive, he's causing a civil war at fox news between hannity & megan kelly. [emoji]128514[/emoji]
Her contract is up this year. It will be interesting to see if she reups.
Funny how he has only been doing interviews with people that support him. He's so thin skinned...

I met Colin Powell today and even he's against Trump.
He spoke a lot about his work with Harlem schools and the American value/tradition of "love for people" (tying that in with immigrants).

People are dumb.
The monumental effort needed to rig this election is something these ppl can not conceive. They can't even get past how their reasoning can easily make Donald look like the coward.
Plus poll observers? In person voter fraud would only matter in swing states and even then it'd take an operation of ppl numbering in the tens of thousands voting at least 10 times each to make a difference.
British chick is cute though.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out next month. Certainly looks like it's paying dividends given the polling from each of the battle ground states.
