17 inmates on death-row will be spared execution thanks to a recent decision by Oregon governor Kate Brown. On Tuesday, Brown said the death-row inmates will be downgraded to life in prison without possibility of parole.
“I have long believed that justice is not advanced by taking a life, and the state should not be in the business of executing people — even if a terrible crime placed them in prison,” the outgoing Democratic governor said in a statement.
She added: “This commutation is not based on any rehabilitative efforts by the individuals on death row. Instead, it reflects the recognition that the death penalty is immoral. It is an irreversible punishment that does not allow for correction.”

Burn baby burn!
She should be locked up with them all.....in the same cell.
May one be released and personally thank her.
When the Oregonians elected Kate Brown as governor, they elected an insane leftist.
What about abortion?
Oh, well that’s different.
Hopefully those counties in Oregon who want to join with Idaho will get their wish
We did not elect her...
Oregonians elected Brown governor in a 2016 special election and again in 2018.
“ Oregonians elected Brown governor in a 2016 special election”
Must have been a Jerry Lewis kind of special election.
Brought to you by my daily going to burn in hell quip
Just a reminder that Democrats hate America, justice, and the rule of law.
Just a blip for whats coming across the border.....
So you murder someone and get taken care of for life, 3 squares and a cot.
so stop thinking that people "voted".....they did not vote for this...
The reason that the Death Penalty doesn’t work, is that IT’S NOT APPLIED IMMEDIATELY AFTER 1-2 APPEALS, or within 1 year.
If it wasn’t for endless, useless, worthless appeals for 20-30 years, criminals wouldn’t be so quick to murder.
And it’d be even lower stats, if the murderer was taken out, right after conviction, and executed behind the court house.
So they are alive when the Portland Commies open the prisons?
