How or where do you donate?
Bless you. I wanna help too even though I have no money.
Finally a good story
That is bull crap it’s got to be a way he can sue
This man was wrongfully imprisoned for a crime he didn`t do. Yet the state of Missouri
can`t compensate him for his 43 years in prison which he will never get back again.
I`m glad the community stepped in to avoid this innocent man from living on the streets.
Shame on the state of Missouri and repeal this unfair law !
Dude it makes me want to violently attack law makers. But I can’t cuz then I’ll go to jail : ( lame
IM GIVING THIS POOR MAN ALL OF MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. I WANT MY LIKES AND NEWS COVERAGE ALSO!!!
Shame on the governor who chose to keep him Locked up after he was exonerated.
Shame on the injustice system.
Shame on all individuals involved in robbing Mr. Strickland of his youth and life.
Bless all those who helped him.
Our prayers have been answered.
They should give him 40 million
43mill
na u don’t even know if he still did it
Anyone know his Gofundme?
This guy really got messed over by the criminal justice system. He should be reimbursed enough to where he can live life comfy without worrying a day in his life about finances.
Imagine living on your own the first time, as an elderly person, paying bills, feeding and clothing yourself. I bet this guy has never made a grilled cheese sandwich.
God bless him 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
God bless them alright 43 years of his life down the drain
Another testimony of God’s greatness.
They put inocent people behind bars for a very long time without evidence and they are teaching democracy and rule of law to the poor countries.
I believe in Americans. There are more empathetic that the KKK.
No compensation , what the heck? Omg
They better apologize and more. This men suffer to much .
Look like snoop
If he was white would he have been compensated?
The USA has always been and will always be one sad pitiful place.
43 Years wow a Mill for every year and to be honest that’s still not enough
How can the state deny his care??? Missouri and the United States is one of the most backward and unjust countries in the world
glad people support him going forward. happy holidays to you Mr. Strickland
The state of Missouri…what a joke
❤
The government should pay

And wow, nbc news can’t be bothered to put a link the description for the go fund me page. Bravo mainstream media.
Come on America let’s help him donate donate donate
How many others? And Justice For who? Rich…
What do the rich have to do this
I serious thought he was snoop dog.
Hallelujah! ♥️✨♥️✨♥️✨♥️
Why
This country is a piece of crap! I’m 45 and this man was in jail for 43 years of my life! Screw you Missouri! This man deserves a free check the rest of his life with Therapy. I don’t want to imagine what he went through. POS!
Thank y’all nice where can I send him money
White people do what they want to,wrong or right,black people especially will never fight back?.
Glad there are people help him
Make the most the years left Sir. I can’t tell you to stay indoors, but I will tell you to keep your head on a swivel when you do go outdoors…
That’s how a community rallies together it won’t give him those years back, but can let him live the rest of his life comfortably, I hope he also gets therapy with whatever things he battled during his time…His smile is infectious welcome home Mr. Strickland🥰
So glad he is free but I pray that he wins his lawsuit against them.
God is making the wrong right like he said. This is just yhr beginning of the move of God. We will see more in 2022
It is indeed comforting to see Americans showing kindness to Kevin Strickland 💖
Missouri is racist. He needs to sue the state.
And how many are white? …Exactly. He should be able to sue the state for wrongful conviction and as a hate crime committed because of his race alone which is the only real evidence that exists. This alone will keep me from ever crossing state line into this state and I will encourage everyone to never go there or do business with any company based their. Any state that has nothing for wrongfully convicted people exonerated is imho one with bigoted racist law makers. Disgusting
This system and this world is so Dame wicked. Yahawahshi please come down quickly and save your chosen people on this 🌎. They truly hate us here. APTTMHY
I want to see him with a house, a car, and a stable job before the year ends. That’s likely more than half of his life gone and it wasn’t even his fault.
God bless him and his attorney she seems to honestly have his best interest at heart.
THANK GOD FOR ALL THE PPL OF ALL WALKS OF LIFE THAT DONATED TO HIM MAY GOD BLESS HIM AND THE PPL THAT GAVE TO HELP HIM AND THOSE THAT SET UP THE THE GO FUND ME PAGE FOR HIM ..IT GOOD IN ALL PEOPLE ….
Amen. That’s good. Hope he can find a place. Before winter comes in. God bless him.❤️❤️❤️
Tells you alot about Missouri !
Can you imagine his own Govt did this to him/ his life of youth and health taken away from him// then get thrown out like a dead alley cat on the street penniless
Meanwhile … a white supremacist teen kills 2 unarmed guys in a protest, and spent zero days in a prison.
Baby. You will be looked upon beyond this.
Living check to check eating less than rice times are hard
If the system pays him then the system is subject to compensate all who they wrongfully lock up and I don’t EVER see that happening.
Dang NBC this man lost 40+ years of his life. You can’t give him 5 minutes of air time or help link the go fund me page
Look at this. and the united states want to teacher the rest of the world democracy, freedom, human right and justice etc. It’s sad.
Missouri sucks.
This is classic America 🇺🇸 Justice! Classic!
I had $143 on my checking account and after learning he will not be compensated for his four decade in prison for a crime he didn’t commit was sick to my stomach and sent $80. Wish I could’ve done more. The American Justice System has a lot of flaws and it needs to improve. It’s just disgraceful to lock up innocent person for that long and throw them out without any help.
he should get millions of dollars for every year he was inside 43 million dollars
There is a fee baked into almost every fine a person has to pay. A victim witness fee. Exonerated people should be receiving money from this fund, or create a similar fund just for this.
Nothing NEW
BLACKS WE ARE GOD CHOSEN PEOPLE THE REAL HEBREW ISRAELITES OF THE EARTH WE ARE THE REAL JEWS REPENT
He should sue everyone involved
