Regarding the "surrounding states, you have Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas ~ but not a one of them has done what we've done in Virginia which is to eliminate parole, and unless you've done that you're just turning loose tens of thousands of hardened and still very dangerous violent criminals every single year.
This particular guy got a commutation of sentence ~ down from 108 to 45 years. If the parole system had been abolished he'd still be in jail eh!
The main fact is, if Huckabee had not commutted Clemmons sentence from 108 to 45 years, he would still be in prison today. One girl would not have been raped. Four police officers would not have been killed. The sole responsibilitiy belongs squarely on Huckabee.
Good luck supporting that immoral bastard. I will do my best to see that more and more people find out what a slimey weasel he is.
