Blaming Romney supporters isn’t helping either. That’s like saying Mitt Romney and his core of supporters are responsible for that monster’s reign of terror. Clemmons’ life of crime didn’t just start 6 weeks ago.

I’m not blaming Romney supporters for Clemmons, but they seem to be so obsessed with Huckabee that we’re completely forgetting about Clemmons and about a system that he has been able to play for virtually all of his life.

Huckabee commuted his sentence for something that Clemmons had done when he was 16 (supposedly, burglaries without violence), but I would suspect that Clemmons probably had a youth record before that. Unfortunately, that cannot be used in court and in fact is generally sealed. All throughout his years in the system, Clemmons has gotten away with things because the system is stacked in favor of the criminals, who are always regarded as poor misguided creatures who really would have been saints if The Man hadn’t kept them down.
