And you are guilty on being so beautiful
So how much tax should be laid on the citizens of N. Carolina who, in reality, never even saw this man? Someone falsely testified some cop came to the wrong conclusion, some judge was wrong. Why punish the innocent for what the guilty have done?

The guy is a moran!
what about all the stuff you got from your mom for free or your dad that they worked hard for to keep you good dude thinks he’s better than everyone else because he supposedly works hard, that hard work bull not getting you anywhere in life you gotta be smart too and by the looks of it your dumb for real.
Some people don’t even get the chance to get as much as him for false prison sentences life gone give you opportunity so you take it if you have to work hard then you got too this man doesn’t imagine being so stupid you would rather work than to take opportunity and you sound butt hurt because you didn’t get any money you mad? You need a tissue snowflake? Oh I need to work so hard for all things I do I can’t help but laugh at you
The sad thing is that there are so many more just like him.😪
Ain't that the truth and it's sad
There may be a few but there isn't as many as you think.
no, not really

Damn! You see the pain in this mans eyes 😪 God Bless you Sir
You can hear it in his voice too. That is heart breaking. His anger is so JUSTIFIED!
Pain from every angle mann😤. And that feeling of not being able to do something about it no amount of money will heal that.
My God!!
My God!!
He needs a GoFundMe account...
Oh my God that hurt so bad. Who ever is reading this please keep this Brother lifted up in prayer. I am 😇
I CERTAINLY will join you in this. 🙏🏾
I don't see how prayer is gonna help this man. We need to keep pressure on our political leaders stay in the streets to fight for criminal justice reform, make sure this never happens again through activism. Better have a guilty person on the streets than an innocent person locked up.
🙏🙏
I am too keeping him up in Prayer.
He needs more than prayer. Brother gonna need the power of his ancestors and a dam good lawyer.
UPDATE: Ronnie Long was paid $22 million by the city of Concord in addition to $3 million by the State Bureau of Investigation for their acts of hiding evidence of his innocence. He now spends his days seeking ways to aid others who are in what was once his situation. The City released a public apology, which he is hoping will do something to make his case more publicly known.
Thanks for the update
The sad part of this, is this man had his life taken from him by a flawed system, and tomorrow we will return to our regular lives, what does he get to return to?
Sadly, it's not flawed. It was designed this way.....
It sucks. They stole his life and they knew they were doing it the whole time. As terrible as it is though there’s a whole lot of countries where they would have just killed him and he couldn’t have proven his innocence. There needs to be a new system thought up everywhere.
No it was not designed this way, what happened to this man is rare and he should get a lot more the 750k. @@dr.h.3212
No amount of money . You can see the pain in that man's soul . They robbed him of his life . Just no words .
Yes..you can hear and see it all humanity sucked away
And, they could give 2 damns.
I’m speechless
U are truly different more of your race should have your heart towards ills ❤️ this comment really touched 🙏🏿
Judicial system is messed up for us. My heart breaks for him.
1 million for every year he was in should be the standard.
That’s not close to enough
Time is priceless 50 million a year still wouldn't be enough.
I'm sure he would rather have spent time with his mother and father than to have had any amount of money.
@mary thinn Well it's not to the person i was actually responding to was it?
His lawyer screwed him.
Lord! Heal the whole in his heart. This is heartbreaking 💔
I can hear , see and fill his pain! You’re in my prayers. I’m so sorry Sir, I’m so sorry!
He deserves 750k , every year, for the rest of his life.
Yes!
That's sounds bout right
What if lives for only 2 more years, he deserves millions now to use as he pleases.
At least
Now that might make it right
His mom died 30 days before he got out, after 44 long years , waiting to see his mom again. I would forever be angry at the world. This is unbelievable .
They probably knew he was innocent to they should have let him come home to be with his mom
That state broke him , intentionally.
WHEW! This part, my God 💔
My soul hurt when he said that.
Right
This is just one in the millions of sickening events that happen to innocent people
He's absolutely correct, these stories are happening too frequently... his anguish is real and heartfelt. The quote about the American nightmare really resonated with me... I genuinely felt this man's pain in his words! May god continue to bless this brother. 🙏🏿
Amen
*he speaks poetically, raw emotions, and his pains rattles the spirit.. powerful words and I wish more life and success for this brother. Peace and one love King* ✌🏾❤️🤴🏾
Your words are a perfect explanation of how I felt.... listening to this mans experience.
Respect bro got to me I know what it is to do time but to do time over a cap I couldn’t imagine the feeling
He made me feel his pain, lost both parents and had his life stolen 😔
Amen
Your words are also beautiful.
There is no amount of money for railroading somebody. I could never imagine not having my parents.

I can’t imagine the pain this innocent brother feels after spending 44 years of his life locked up and the grief his parents felt not having their son present in their lives & grandchildren they’ll never see😢
I understand his pain. No amount of funds can make up for his time lost. The judge n all his cohorts should be doing sometime as well. Isn’t lying to the courts a crime? My God my heart goes out to him! I’ll keep on praying…
The saddest part is he never had a chance to live his life, he was released into the world with almost nothing or nobody. I pray for his peace 💖

I live in NC and this was a tragedy on every level this man deserves the world this happens to so many people and the state just doesn't care God bless this man great things r coming his way
You can tell how much pain he hides behind his smooth talk. Can’t imagine what’s going through this guy’s head. They can never pay enough for what’s priceless.
If I could guess what his thoughts: Sit me face to face with every last person who had a hand in me being sent to prison and watch what I do☠️
I know like 8 older, southern black men that talk like this. It ain't that deep lol.
Yea, he's probably had to talk and cry himself out of really killing someone plenty of times bc he might as well should have just to justify and not feel like it was for nothing.
@shiprnecam1 Prison is never a place where you attend to receive trusted counselling from repentant criminals. Miscarriage of justice should have been overturned longtime, with the evidence of judgement in his case, locked away in an office desk. Meanwhile, he didn't give into prison lifestyle, he became a bonafide Clint Eastwood with badman style, understanding that he is in pain. Prison has made him a rugged man. He's good having paid the price for crimes he didn't commit. The governor should invite him to lunch with his family and give him a breathe of good fellowship. The money is secondary in this case. What do you expect him to do with the funds? Buy a McDonald's franchise? He should pack his luggage with a lady friend and hit the Caribbean sunset 🌇 and get tropical refreshment. May God bless him, and watch over him. He will recover from his ragamuffin style, he has looked after himself very well. Respect to him, anday his parents rest in peace. 44 years is unacceptable, when evidence was available to acquit him, he was left to pay the price for someone else's crimes. That is too hard to contend with. This is terrible experience for anyone innocent.
His style would be hard to disprove his innocence, without evidence. With evidence he should have been released before sentencing.
He should have been awarded $44 Million. Your Irish cousins support you 🇮🇪
Thank you man.
Erin go brah

That's not even enough. There's no way to repay him for what they took.
That's sad, they should have given him millions of dollars and fired everybody involved who is still living. Stay strong Ronnie 🙏
The messed up part it costs the tax payer too. These police mess around and cost everyone something
They’re no longer working. Strip their pension. Imprison those who were involved.

Probably because some CORRUPT COPS, LIED and wanted too get a conviction to close a case, and be “HEROES” not too get the perpetrator, but too CLOSE THE CASE😤 So They LIED, and SENT AN INNOCENT MAN TOO PRISON FOR 43 YEARS!!!!

If he’s able to forgive that’s the most powerful gift he can give to a lot of these angry young black men these days. This world expects us to be angry so they can throw us into jail. N come out even angrier. That everytime somebody says something we want to pop off. He can be a great teacher.

Lord Jesus. This is painful. All the money in the world can't give him his life back, yet he should be paid way more than this. The criminal justice system is really criminal.
Not to mention the traumatic soul chipping and degrading experiences he went through in the pen he won’t talk about for something he didn’t do, and no one can say something cheesy like it made him a better person.

This man deserves waaaaay more and even then it still wont give him back what he lost.
This is a terrible Injustice I cannot imagine not being with my Mom and Dad as they passed from this world.
Damn that was hard to hear😢. Love to you my brotha
They took his whole life, I wouldn't be satisfied either. Totally heartbreaking I pray for this man. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤❤❤💯👑
It is time for North Carolina to clean up their rolls and let these innocent ppl out.

God bless you brother, you deserve so much more. Fight and keep fighting how can they do that . The people that put you there should be accountable for all the wrong they did.
......this man has EVERY RIGHT to be angry. C'mon America, North Carolina, we are better than this, Right???
My heart aches for this man and the many who have been victimized like him. Please GOD bless him.
Its a whole lot of men and women dat are incarcerated and truly innocent, dats y the sayin should b guilty until proven innocent and not the other way around.. Its ridiculous!!!
Crazy how you can become victimized by the system and be looked at as a guilty man and no one believes in your innocence. I had to plead guilty to police planting drugs on me in fear of them planting worse evidence on me, but nothing compared to this man
This is heartbreaking. That money is not worth 44 years of your life... The time you can’t get back and the lost love ones you lost while locked up... You are in my prayers 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾Praying for better days ahead ...
Man, this hits hard! God bless you, brother. Best wishes and love for you always!😌❤
God bless you sir
