I was never a Huck fan. But it is time for a very critical look at why Washington State didn’t do anything when Clemmons was charged with rape of a young girl or kept in jail when he punched a cop.
I heard yesterday that Wa. State didn’t get the info on his prior history from Arkansas because they didn’t enter the info correctly in to the national data base.
Not sure if that is true but if it is, someone else in Ark. needs to be strung up next to Huck and the other bureaucrats who let this trash slip through.
I will agree that Huck opened the floodgate and everyone else that dealt with this monster from the day he walked out of prison also failed. But I disagree with those that agree that Huck was correct in his decision. It was his job as a governor to look out 1st for the citizens welfare.
Truth is that Huck should not have let this guy get out. He had a total sentence of 108 years. Sounds bad, but he would have been up for parole after serving about 27 years. He only served 11 of 108 years. Not nearly enough for an anti social monster.
To me it would have not made one bit of difference if this Clemmons would have been white and he murdered 4 black cops. The guy would still have been a monster and a murderer.
