NEW YORK -- One entrance to Central Park is getting a new name for the first time since the park opened in the late 1800s. The entrance will honor the exonerated five, formerly known as the "Central Park Five."
CBS2 spoke with one of those men who was wrongly jailed about the new name. "We want people to remember, in 1989, where was I?" Raymond Santana said. Thirty-three years ago, Santana walked through the northeast corner of Central Park, as did Yusef Salaam, Korey Wise, Antron McCray, and Kevin Richardson.
…”This gate isn't just about the exonerated five. It's about all of us. It's about all of us who have been done wrong by the system, all of us who have been run over by the spiked wheels of justice," Santana said...”To me, it just says that there's people in this city that still want to do the right thing.”

Maybe we should take a full page ad out calling for his execution.
Of course I am not seriously suggesting that but I love to see Karma happen and that would be fine with me. An eye for an eye, you fucking moron tRump. See how YOU like it. However this is not the same since tRump DID commit a zillion crimes and he IS guilty. Too bad they can't hang him for treason. I would buy a ticket.
