    I heard it gets harder to sit through as the show goes on. Astonishing to me how the prosecutors/law enforcement involved in this just got away. No justice.

    Being from NYC, I've always known about this case and the fact that Trump took out full page ads calling for the death penalty to be used against them. This case also made the slang term "wildin" famous to the public eye. The series was really tragic and the subsequent interview with Oprah was even more gut wrenching, particularly when Antron was speaking. Truthfully, if this case happened now, the Woke Crowd would probably want these dudes imprisoned or worse. I think the series isn't just about police brutality, justice, racism, Trump etc. It's also a cautionary tale about getting all of the facts out and doing due diligence. The same people promoting this on social media would probably be the first to condemn them if it were to happen today.

    Am I against death penalty? Morally no but in practice yes. The death penalty is only morally defensible when someone commits a heinous crime. The Central Park 5 were children of color that were coerced by law enforcement to admit to a crime they did not commit. No DNA or physical evidence & they locked these kids up. Trump wanted to k--- these kids. Even after they were exonerated, he maintained they should have been given the death penalty. Never apologized or admitted his wrong doing.

    Doesn’t shock me you support the murder of innocent kids of color.

    Be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster.
