Thank you Ann. I remember this horrendous story with very much angst.. These people are barbarians. And liars. Three good words to see: Trump was right. Gut instinct is a remarkable truth teller.
Ann, we certainly owe you a debt of gratitude for reminding America at every instance this case comes up what the actual facts are surrounding the attack, the arrests and the convictions. The 'media,' of course, remains in narrative management mode as it relentlessly peddles the fictional tale of falsely accused and wrongfully convicted BIPOC youth by a systemically racist system.
That's why your focus on this case and the facts that underpin it is so very important.
I also enjoyed the old Daily News front page, which of captured NYC's hot-take on the emergence of wildin' as a tribal ritual in America's rotting urban cores. In February of this year, I wrote a column entitled 'The Rise of The Berserker,' which explores the intersectionality of feminized police (I won't call them cops) and the explosion of savages roaming the streets with impunity.
You've inspired me to write a follow-up piece, which I think I'll entitle 'Battle for The Planet of The Berserkers.' Check it out at TheCromerReader.com
Unfortunately, every jury these days seems to be trying to outdo the Menendez brothers first jury. As a person who spent 1971 - 2001 in downstate NY, I remember this well. It is such a scam that these guys got out of prison. What's worse, it seems like they have turned Salaam into some kind of hero. It is despicable. All of this is to serve the political interests of corrupt politicians cashing in on the destruction of the country.
When you first brought this up years ago--always with your stack of facts---I was relieved because I thought no sane person existed who saw all this BS from the courts as anything but a travesty, and that these punks were CELEBRATED by all those know-nothings is more than salt in a wound. They persist as they always do in not thinking and just parroting, when in truth they know no details, did no research and show only concern for those "poor boys" and never a shred of empathy for the jogger and all the other victims. I have been alive a long time, and I know my judgment day will come soon enough, but what that system has done to that woman will bring the hammer of God down on all those wretches who have defended them and then celebrated them and disdained Lady Justice herself to show the system is flawed. It's flawed all right. Their families who know, the juries who know and these sophists who should know will receive brimstone on Judgment Day.
Ann, I'm so glad you bring attention to this heinous injustice. This is personal to me as I dealt with my Salomon Bros.' office contact the morning after the incident. Her coworkers were truly devastated by the crime and the (actual) VICTIM's fragile condition - at that point barely clinging to life. It astounds me that the revisionist history has totally turned the tide on a vicious rape of a woman left for dead by her savage assailants who are now glorified as victims. For Kamala to bring up this topic just confirms where she stands on women's rights - unless of course the woman is nonwhite. And where may I ask is Solomon Bros. position on this issue these days? Absolutely disgraceful!!!!!
"...Trump's typically garbled response..." WTF? I have heard both of you speak and he is a much much better speaker than you are. Please get over whatever he did to you. Otherwise a great article.
"It's always been a mystery why Salaam (New York City Council member, honored speaker at the Democratic National Convention and namesake of a gate to Central Park) confessed to the attack immediately after Detective Thomas McKenna told him, 'I don’t care what you say to me. We have fingerprints on the jogger’s pants.'”
Reason enough that no one in their right mind should vote for the hyena.
The videos of the quiet, calm way the sex crimes investigators interviewed the five with their parents present paint a very different picture than DuVernay’s inflammatory racial hatred fantasy.
Has a criminal defense attorney ever argued that his client, as a person of sub-Saharan or Amerind descent, is congenitally less intelligent and more impulsive than the whites who designed our justice system and imposed it on his client? Or would pleading the Bell Curve result in disbarment?
I never doubted that these animals did it. And yes, they were acting like animals. Can’t wait to see how this unravel.

Yusef Salaam was a New York City Council member?
And an honored speaker at the Democratic National Convention?
The namesake of a gate to Central Park, where the crime happened??
why is it that Democrats so love to reward their thugs of color?? especially when they commit crimes against white women?
remember how, after killing Ashli Babbitt (an unarmed white woman), Michael Byrd was given a promotion?

Ann speaks in complete sentences, unlike Trump. Also, her vocabulary is not grade-school level. And she writes her own books. They’re very good.

Brava! Ann has been on top of this story from the beginning.
Well done, Ann.
I would like to see Trisha Meili, the victim of these animals, sue them for all their ill-gotten gains received from the corrupt City of New York.

Excellent. These guys are hoodlums. They did it and they know they did it. Imagine what God will say at the Pearly Gates. They will be damned forever.

Bring back hanging.
Cheap, effective and sends the right message.
I believe hanging is still used in New Hampshire. What a pity.
