Reply to comment by [deleted] in New York City Unveils Gate of the Exonerated in Central Park Honoring Wrongly Convicted People by lifandigoosogn

These are 4 words etched into a gate in Central Park, not a 10 point plan to tackle criminal justice and world issues. Every entrance gate has words etched on to them and now this one does too. This isn't trying to be anything other than what it is - recognizing a group of people in a georgraphically significant location.

Honestly arguments like this are exhausting. We can walk and chew gum. We can commission art and signs and still work on fixing larger systems.

If you put up a statue of someone, you better have a damn good reason and solve every associated problem. That's why they waited until the last concussion victim recovered before putting up the Rocky statue in Philly
