The overwhelming reaction was fear, especially with young women. We had all, at one time or another, been in Central Park, alone, after dark. If it could happen to her, it could happen to us.<br /><br />The press went crazy, coining the term "wilding," which only increased the city's panic. The police and the DA's office were under enormous pressure to find who had done this and throw away the key. The relief when the story broke that the guilty parties had been arrested was palpable. We were free, once again, to walk in the city at night. Of course, it was all an illusion.<br /><br />Watching the documentary brought all of those feelings back, but with an enormous sense of shame. I wish now that someone, either in the police, the DA's office or the press had pushed this story harder. Instead, we all chose to bask in our glee that NYC was free of these boys. Truly awful to think about.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-10805737245314086352013-04-20T12:15:16.293-04:002013-04-20T12:15:16.293-04:00I watched The Central Park Five per your recommend...I watched The Central Park Five per your recommendation. What a gross case of abuse of power by law enforcement. How could they think what they were doing was right?!<br /><br />It was an interesting glimpse into NYC's history as well. I had no idea the 80s were so icky there. A lot of L&O and NYPD Blue makes more sense now...sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-59248536443088005232013-04-19T20:44:16.576-04:002013-04-19T20:44:16.576-04:00"tax returns"
