If anyone believes that these kids are innocent or tries to justify the lies that are thrown around in this movie then they are truly ignorant.
This is a terrible movie that tries to push away the rape of a woman in favor of exonerating 5 kids who have since never grown up. They are able to live a lavish lifestyle knowing that they ruined a woman's life and freely get to laugh in her face every single day.
Ava Duvernay should really be ashamed of herself for trying to paint these kids as victims. I'm not surprised by her actions considering her previous "works." This is movie is not only race baiting material but it is lie after lie disguised as an imaginative retelling in the directors mind.
The kids know what they did was wrong. I hope they go to sleep at night with that in the back of their minds. I doubt they ever think twice about it though because they are too busy getting paid by the thousands of stupid people in the world who believe the lies they spew out of their mouths.
