Donald Trump is a Vigilante Asshole!

True Enough.

He's a vigilante who spent about $85,000 in 1989 to place full page ads in New York newspapers screaming for the death penalty for a group of young African-American and Latino men accused of gang raping and nearly beating to death a wealthy white women (investment banker) who was jogging in Central Park ... turns out, after many years in prison, DNA evidence proved they were innocent.

Here's the link for a piece from the Columbia Journalism review with more information: http://www.cjr.org/issues/2003/1/rapist-hancock.asp

Or, just google "Donald Trump 1989 Central Park Jogger Trial Blood-Thirsty Vigilante Asshole" and see what you get.

Back in 1989 five youths, aged 14 to 16, were caught, charged and had confessions forced from them, which they all later recanted as being given under pressure and coercion. The youth were admitted members of an urban gang who had been caught in Central Park harassing and tormenting the public: referred to as "wilding".

The media feeding-frenzy, and the calls for the death penalty and the sensationalized trials resulted in these young men being sent to jail, without any physical evidence.

Sixteen years later, a serial rapist in jail on other charges admitted he committed the Central Park crime, alone. DNA evidence of his sperm recovered from the victim (who survived, but had no memory of the heinous crime) collaborates his confession.

The youths (who are of course no longer young) were eventually released from prison.

I must have missed the public apology Donald Trump extended to these men and their families. Of course, being the smug, self-centered, asshole that he is, public condemnations calling for public executions are probably easier to print and pay for than a public apology.

Perhaps that's why he's trying to rack up more and more millions of dollars from these cheesy-ass commercials he does for Domino's Pizza, and Visa Check-cards and anything else that will pay him enough to pimp garbage.

Oh. And that ridiculous comb-over fucking sucks too!

Nice post. BTW, Trump reminds me of a baby diaper/salami.
