Gov. Huckabee today: "I don't need to show any heart to the families of the murdered troopers! I'm on Jon Stewart!"
you guys make it sound as if he actually murdered the people himself. THE FILE HE RECEIVED BACK THEN WAS OF A 16 YEAR OLD THIEF AND ROBBER—NOT RAPIST AND MURDERER. How could he have foreseen all this?!
It’s not like this man made the death penalty illegal in his state or something.
Props to Palin for handling the issue so classily.
Even still bigred08...i think you have to look at the “big picture.”— The perspective a SOUTHERNER + Christian like Huckabee may have.
Simply put, a lot of people with very similar or even records WORSE than Clemmons have gotten/tend to get MUCH MUCH lighter sentences—IF they are white that is.
105 years was excessive for the crimes Clemmons had committed at the time. And he didn’t get sentenced to juvenile hall like most people his age would have—but to regular jail.
Say “wah wah. PC libtard.” all you want.
I am NO softie on crime, but I don’t pretend to think our justice system is perfect.
