The suspect, one male, one black thug, is still at large and is considered armed and dangerous.”

There, fixed it.

Which was a reasonable decision at the time Governor Huckabee made it.

No, it wasn't. The perp was given that sentence for a reason, and, despite what the silly racist Huckabee said, it WASN'T because he was poor and black.

I don't think ANY Executive sshould be letting ANY felons out of prison early. If we have any problem with our justice system, it most certainly isn't that violent felons are spending too much time in prison.

BTW, did ya notice whom Huck's boy was found with? A double murderer who served all of 14 years before being paroled.

Sure, if one were to take Huckabee's action in a vacuum, indepedent of the fact that most violent criminals should already have been in prison (heck if you could remove it from the rest of Huckabee's weird predilection for freeing violent felons), you might have a case for some bit of understanding. As it stands here in the real world, you don't.

If indeed this is the case, it'll just prove the point that America wasn't ready for a black president, especially a racist Marxist president.

That isn't racist to say that either. Many people predicted that O's election would only spark racial tensions and fighting, and so far that's exactly what's happened. His election has emboldened minorities, and now muslims, nation wide to be militant in their actions towards the rest of the nation.

I said it before, I'll say it again, O needs to go, and quickly before this spirals out of control. Maybe that can be our new motto, "O needs to go!"

“America wasn’t ready for a black president,”
I would have absolutely no problem voting for a black person who is a Reagan -style conservative, unfortunately there are plenty of ignorant voters out there aided by a lapdog media, that are capable of being duped by a smooth-talking Marxist.

Thank you, it needed to be said. They’re parasites that should keep the peace, not be a bunch of power-hungry, revenue-generating toolbags.

Same here, but let's face it, a black conservative will never make it to the forefront of American politics. If one ever did, I would vote for him too, but I'm not holding my breath.

Perhaps I should have qualified my statement by saying, "America wasn't ready for a black, Marxist President."

What you are claiming is NOT the "truth."

It was a sentence commutation of a 16 year old's crime.

I found the site a long time ago, probably a year and a half to two years ago. It’s one of the sites that I scan frequently. It’s the largest urban website in the world. Yahoo just ranked it as one of the number 4 blog of the year:

http://yearinreview.yahoo.com/2009/bloggersroll#4mediatakeout

A good quantity of the articles are silly celeb gossip, but there are interracial topics, topics such as this, and political articles which seem to bring out a lot of the racists. To be fair, there are posters there who are not racist. You can even see that in the cop thread if you read down. I merely read it out of curiosity.

Both of us “respect [Huckabee] as an honest man trying to do good.” You’re not a fan of him for the presidency, and I’m not a fan of him for any position in which his great compassion can yield foolish clemency. I’d still like to know why Clemmons was originally given such a severe sentence: were there perhaps egregious exacerbating factors of which Huckabee should have been advised, or about which he should have inquired? I don’t think I’m confused, son.

“People will see only what they want to see.”

If that were true then there would be no advertising, no campaigning, no influencing, no teaching, etc.

How about some good old-fashioned reputation management? It’s more important now than ever with information flowing as fast, freely and as wildly as it is.

Many in the private sector are finally getting it, why do you suppose law enforcement wouldn’t have to consider how the masses feel about them?

What company could survive hundreds of negative videos on YouTube being viewed by millions of people? Not too many.

What’s going on at YouTube alone is a PR disaster and will do damage—and that is just YouTube—there are thousands of places spreading these messages.

Where’s the PR for cops? It could save lives.

Like I said, if they don’t manage this properly a lot of people, including cops, will suffer, or even die as a result.

Responding with Gung-Ho tough guys all in black, with jackboots, shields, rubber bullets, and sound cannons will only increase what is happening.

I have to say that watching how they treated unarmed college kids in Pennsylvania had me struggling to maintain respect for the men and women in blue. No, it’s the men and women in black now, isn’t it?

The Judge who sentenced this guy was one of those who recommended commuting his sentence. So, I ask you...why would you put someone up to a unreasonable standard that no one, including you could follow?

We can all agree that sometimes these bad guys get off early or should not have gotten off at all, but we cannot base our entire penal system on keeping people locked up for the rest of their lives unreasonably. Case in point, California’s three strikes and you get life sentencing without chance for parole. I owned an apartment complex in Sacramento and in it was the attorney of the guy who received a life sentence for stealing a bicycle out of someone’s garage. His previous two felonies did not include violence or a gun, but were felonies. The attorney was so sick of this judgement he could no longer practice law and who can blame him...it was barbaric.

I think you are confused JohnQ1, what makes you think that the commuted sentence of Clemmons was foolish? Remember, Governor Huckabee could not have known this would happen in the future. The presiding judge, the 5 person prison panel all recommended a commuted sentence. So, what can you point to from that place in time that made that a foolish decision? Obviously, you cannot and that is what I mean about you being confused. You want to apply what has happened nine years in the future to that decision made with the set of facts so many years before.

You should reconsider your philosophy on compassion...especially Christian morality. One cannot defeat evil without it. That doesn’t mean we do not punish people for wrong doing, but it does mean we offer most opportunity to change their lives. I am all for capital punishment and hard time, but am also for being reasonable and for allowing criminals the ability to rehabilitate themselves. My God JohnQ1 do you realize how many new laws will very likely be enacted in the next few years that will make many more citizens criminals? Think this stuff through friend!

Suffice it to say that we have vastly different views of our criminal justice system.
