A bit late I would say!

If it was up to number 45 you would be dead

whitelieskill

Lotta fucking good that does em

QueenMSheba Post modernity perdon...if you looked... walked like... ate like...you were a savage...now savages can dine with 'loyals'? Yes ...my foot..

Typical Florida justice

Philosocrat DuhSantis is going out of his way to prove he’s not racist. Keep going!

Ummmmm, too late bro 🙄

rolandsmartin Thanks

Believe all women?

rolandsmartin Gee thanks Florida. U guys have such a good track record of justice 💯😂

Ah, Florida, always on the cutting edge.

Deemoney521 Bernie says white men wont do anything like this if they are economically secure.

Deemoney521 They shot one of the men 400 times!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

😪😪 swift justice...

Amazed how many people don't know the word posthumously

Ya gotta love crackers, kill or convict first, pardon posthumously

Too little too late

Old as fuck or dead now. 😡

rolandsmartin Too little too late

I’m sorry but a posthumous pardon means nothing to me!

rolandsmartin So, is the accuser being charged?

rolandsmartin America sold drugs to Blacks, resulting in the crack epidemic! America used drug trafficking to justify mass incarceration! America conspired to incarcerate Blacks! When will these victims receive a full PARDON? Blackmen Blackwomen BlackTwitter Africa Asia BlackFamily

Rather too little and far to late. What sort of Sucker's do they take us for?

They shouldn't have committed the crime then don't serve the time

And you wonder why NFL players take a knee

rolandsmartin Wow. Really? Thats might white of them.

You missed this Florida. Pay their families for your incompetence.

rolandsmartin its always after the fact when it comes to white supremacy.

Thats thé price we pay for being black in a white dominated world

Why

ArtistsPo 4down, 100,000 to go

Jus a wee bit too late!! Dummies

Flori-DUUUUUUUH. The Sunshine State's mighty late with this. Compensate the families.

Too Little, too Late, Florida. Glad to know DeSantis corrected Rick Scott's negligence.

Hope they remember that President Trump did this for them!! VoteRepublican

A little late, no?

I wonder how many similar cases does USA have in its history

Sad and sickening. Four lives ruined for nothing.

Fla_Pol

Only 4?

Wait for the law suite

This is supposed to be justice?

Too late

Probably more where that came from.

How to reconcile an obvious false accusation of rape with always believe the woman?

Richard Wright’s book Native Son is unfortunately true

So they spent all their lives in prison and died there?

Gee, Florida...racist against whites much?

'One was hunted down by a posse of about 1,000 men and shot more than 400 times.' Then the descendants of those 'men' ought to forfeit every damned thing they own in the world to the family of that victim of US crimes against humanity.

And SenRickScott never did anything for 8 years! This is the guy sent to Congress by many Floridians!

BlackScholarONL Sad. Tarnished lives.

Jinxy_Minxy what value is this action? It is posthumous.

That Rick Scott refused to apologize for this tells me all I need to know about him.

Similar case to Central Park 5, demand on damages in progress......

A posse of white men not just men. You’re part of the problem with such half baked reports.

LisaSimpson24 Too late assh...

Well that makes it better

Accused by Democrats

when in doubt imprison them for life and figure out the truth later

Little bit late.

Where are the reparations for their families? Are THOSE forthcoming as well, FLORIDA

This does nothing. This is like Green Book. Patting yourselves on the back only AFTER you’ve atoned for ruined lives GTFOH

Was her name Dr. Christine Ford? Asking for a friend.

Register them to vote I guess!!!

His name is Governor Desantis. He Pardoned them.!!

Thanks RonDeSantisFL

I hope their families will be compensated at the least

I guess he feels bad for the 'monkey up' comments.

Are they still alive

Bit late

Why is this phrased as “Florida has granted” and not “Newly sworn in Governor DeSantis has granted”...?

Good
