In an exclusive to the New York Post, the paper reported Sunday that after 25 years, former New York prosecutor Steven Pagones is finally getting justice from Tawana Brawley.
The Post reports that Pagones recently received his first payments from Brawley as money is being collected through wage garnishments: $3,764.61 so far, with $431,000 to go. In 1987, Brawley, with the promotional assistance of Rev. Al Sharpton and lawyers C. Vernon Mason and Alton Maddox, defamed Pagones in the infamous race-baiting fake rape case that grabbed headlines around the world.
As Breitbart News has previously recalled, in November 1987, fifteen year-old black teenager Tawana Brawley was found in Wappinger's Falls, NY wrapped in a plastic bag, with feces in her hair and with "KKK" and the n-word written on her body. She claimed to have been abducted, then raped and sodomized by six white men. She quickly gained a set of advisors headed by Al Sharpton along with attorneys Mason and Maddox, fresh off a round of racially charged publicity in the Howard Beach incident.
Celebrities lined up to support Tawana, including Bill Cosby, who posted a $25,000 reward for information on the case;
Sharpton had his settlement debt to Pagones paid by supporters, including O.J. Simpson attorney Johnnie Cochran. MSNBC host and Obama ally Sharpton is still unrepentant about the Brawley incident and refuses to even say that Brawley was lying, instead claiming in a recent interview: "Whatever happened, you're dealing with a minor who was missing for four days, so it's clear that something wrong happened."

I was skeptical about Chiropractors until about 10 years ago, when I injured my back.
A good friend suggested a chiropractor, and said that she had experienced almost magical relief.
I figured that I would try it. Incredible. Walked in with significant pain. Walked out with the pain nearly gone.
Only a few more treatment over the years, at less than 1% of the cost of surgery, (along with exercise and a change of mattress), problem 98% solved.
It is hard to argue with something that actually works.
I have had several doctors tell me that chiropractors can work very well for some injuries. Everything has its limits.
I had a similar situation a couple of years back- my back had been twingeing for some time, and finally just locked up one evening while walking across my living room. Two days later, my wife got me in to see a chiropractor (who, by the way, is affiliated with the largest hospital in town, and several very respected surgeons). It took two men to carry me in (and a big Samoan guy to put me on the table for x-rays)- but, by the time he was done with me, I was able to walk out! I went three times that week- I’ve had the occasional twinge since, but no serious problems.
Many years earlier, when my wife was pregnant with our daughter, she managed to pinch a nerve in her spine- her doctor was all set to send her to a neurologist. Instead, we went to a chiropractor, and he fixed her right up.
I have had many positive experiences with chiropractic care.
If I took my medical doctors advice. I would be an addict in chronic pain. Who’s the quacks.
How often do you visit your quack ?
Not in 10 years.
You probably cost your quackifyer one chevron on his “
golden knight” award.
One of the doctors who said that chiropractors were very good in certain cases was an Osteopath.
I have never been pressured to undergo numerous, repetitive treatments.
The experience has been pretty much the same each time. Go in with pain, come out without pain. The pain level lessened to the point that I have not gone in for a few years now.
I would not say that I am “cured”. If I stop doing my exercises, and have to sleep on different mattresses for a while, the pain starts to come back.
The effect of the exercise has at times been almost as dramatic as the Chiropractor treatment.
“Repetitive treatments are the basis for successful chiropractic practices. Recognition is made to practitioners who can provide a treatment to as many as 150-175 patients in a month. This reduces contact to about three or four minutes per manipulation.”
Your figures are interesting. Say the chiropractor only works 20 days a month, and sees 160 patients (middle of your figures). That is eight patients a day, or one per hour. So how do you come up with the “three or four minutes per manipulation?”
My visits were about the same as my visits to my doctor. The chiropractor seemed fairly prosperous, did not push for repetitive treatment, and talked about retirement in a few years. The other patients that I knew were happy with him. The visits were for about 20 minutes.
Find a doctor who works 8 to 5 and I’d agree.
Looking back at the article, I’m not sure this was monthly. It suggested a practice target of 3 to 4 minutes per customer which seems fairly brief to me.
“Find a doctor who works 8 to 5 and Id agree.”
True.
Most doctors put in much longer days than that.
