Oh justice, sweet, sweet justice. I know, it’s just an indictment. Actually, currently it’s being reported that Trump will be indicted for 34 charges, which…holy shit! That’s a lot of charges! And it just so happens to be 34 more charges than Hillary Clinton or Hunter Biden have!

Where was I.

Oh, the Central Park Five. That heartbreaking case where back in the late 1980s we saw just how openly racist Trump was.

Dr. Yusef Salaam, who was wrongfully convicted of a brutal 1989 gang rape in New York City as a teenager, and then imprisoned for seven years before his eventual exoneration, weighed in on the former president’s criminal indictment.

Hashtagging a tweet “#PowerPost,” Salaam wrote, “For those asking about my statement on the indictment of Donald Trump—who never said sorry for calling for my execution—here it is: Karma.”

#PowerPost✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿™️

For those asking about my statement on the indictment of Donald Trump – who never said sorry for calling for my execution – here it is:

Karma

— Yusef Abdus Salaam (@dr_yusefsalaam) March 30, 2023

In 1989, Trump placed full-page advertisements in four New York City newspapers calling for the state to adopt the death penalty, specifically for the five Black youths falsely accused in the case.

In 2019, the then-president refused to walk back or apologize for his previous stance, saying at the White House, “You have people on both sides of that. They admitted their guilt.”

As you’d imagine, Twitter loved Salaam’s tweet and quite a lot to say:

Normally, I'm not a fan of people using the word karma who don't fully understand the concept of karma.

But this time, it works.
And it works beautifully.

I love that he’s about to walk into that same criminal court. Karma indeed…

I still remember how angry and upset I was when I saw that full page ad. Keep the karma coming.
