LL Cool J Thinks Big Meech and Southwest T Should Be Pardoned

“I think these two guys who are both products of my generation could do a lot of good in the community if they were pardoned,” LL Cool J captioned under a pic posted to Instagram of convicted drug kingpin Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory, head of the infamous Black Mafia Family, and his brother Terry “Southwest T” Flenory.

“They were incarcerated for non violent drug offenses.if they were pardoned I’m sure they would do the right thing…I really think these guys along with some of the guys they were incarcerated with should have their cases reviewed. They should receive either a full pardon or at a minimum a sentence reduction. 30 years for a “non violent” charge no matter how large the case may be; Still feels heavy handed to me.”

I think these two guys who are both products of my generation could do a lot of good in the community if they were pardoned. They were incarcerated for non violent drug offenses.if they were pardoned I’m sure they would do the right thing. It’s a matter of character. From the outside looking in I think they both have it. Although they set what some would call a negative example I think the second chapter of their lives could potentially bring a lot of healing and inspiration to a down trodden community and show all our citizens that the USA is a country where second chances are possible. I don’t condone what they did but I understand why they did it. The inner city is is a rough place to be born and raised. Temptation is everywhere tempting us to find a fast way to escape poverty. This is nothing new, but still very true. I really think these guys along with some of the guys they were incarcerated with should have their cases reviewed. They should receive either a full pardon or at a minimum a sentence reduction. 30 years for a “non violent” charge no matter how large the case may be; Still feels heavy handed to me. Let’s all hope it happens for them. Keep your heads up fellas. I’m praying for you. 🙏🏾 I love our country. I believe this would be a just decision. Pardon Meech and Terry Flenory. #forgiveness #justice #mercy
