WATCH: Soft-on-Crime Dem Senate Candidate John Fetterman Says He’s “happy” First-Degree Murderer Who Stabbed Man 26 TIMES With Garden Shears Is Being Released From Prison...Says It Will “remove” Taxpayer’s “financial burden” of Keeping Him In Jail
100% Fed Up ^ | October 3, 2022 | By Patty McMurray

“I’m happy that he’s going back home to his family,” Democrat US Senate candidate John Fetterman (PA) told the media about his vote of support for the release of Charles “Zeke” Goldblum while acting as Pennsylvania’s Lt. Governor.

Goldblum was sentenced to life in prison after he was convicted of first-degree murder for killing a man with garden shears in a parking garage in Pittsburgh, PA.

According to the Washington Free Beacon – Goldblum was convicted of first-degree murder in the 1976 killing of George Wilhelm as part of an insurance fraud cover-up. According to prosecutors, Goldblum and an accomplice, Clarence Miller, lured Wilhelm to a parking garage in Pittsburgh, where Goldblum stabbed the man 26 times. While out on bail, Goldblum tried to hire an undercover police officer to murder Miller, who had fingered Goldblum for the crime.

Goldblum, who has maintained his innocence, was poised to die in prison, having unsuccessfully appealed for clemency seven times. But in 2019, Pennsylvania’s Board of Pardons, which Fetterman chairs, voted unanimously to release Goldblum from jail, overriding the wishes of Wilhelm’s family. To justify its decision, the board points to the judge and prosecutor on Wilhelm’s case, who has since concluded he was the accomplice rather than the principal assailant.

But in 2007, a federal appeals court rejected Goldblum’s request for an evidentiary hearing, writing, “there is just too much evidence here establishing Goldblum’s guilt.” Both judge and prosecutor have been vague about what information motivated their reversal, and no one has claimed Goldblum is innocent of the hitman charge.

Here is John Fetterman bragging about saving taxpayers money by releasing the murderer from jail while saying he’s “happy” that the first-degree murderer will be able to return home to his family. What about Goldblum’s dead victim, who will NEVER be able to return home to his family? Do these radical Democrats who want you to elect them in November ever think about the victims of these crimes or their loved ones who will never see them again while he’s advocating for violent murderers to be released from prison?

The soft-on-crime Democrat candidate John Fetterman, who is running against the popular Republican candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz is watching what was once a commanding lead over Republican Mehmet Oz quickly shrinking in the PA Senate race.

A new Emerson College Polling-The Hill survey released Friday, Sept. 30, shows that 45% of likely Pennsylvania general election voters support Fetterman while 43% percent support the Republican candidate, Dr. Mehmet Oz, falling within the poll’s margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. Eight% said they were undecided, while 5% said they plan to vote for another candidate.

Being stabbed with garden shears reminds me of Don Knotts in The Ghost and Mr Chicken.

I hope the citizens of Pennsylvania elect Oz for no better reason than to never hear from this overweight mean man ever again. How he has gotten this far is beyond me. What a shyster.

Yup. I hate Fetterman, but I’m also not fond of Oz. I’ll still vote for Oz, but it feels wrong voting for a muslim 21 years after 9/11.

It is a little frightening that he is within reach of a Senate seat.

Astonishing.

How can anyone, ANYONE, even the dullest knife in the drawer, not see through this “Uncle Fester” Fetterman, for the lump of badly wasted protoplasm he is? Is the voter propaganda being poured out on TV stations in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia that powerful and moving? This sorry example of a trust fund child has NO socially beneficial personality traits or excusable culpability for ANY of his actions.

His health is not exactly up to snuff either.

Maybe him or one of his close family members will get stabbed 26 time.
Would save us the burden of putting us into massive debt via out of control spending.

We had plenty of Muslims who have helped the US with the GWOT.

The world would be better of with more Muslims from “liberal” sects who become doctors and less jihadis.

A fiscal conservative? Or maybe a Fiskars progressive? Dude gets nuttier by the day.

In a word, yes. I was listening to a Pittsburgh-based talk show earlier today. The hosts were gushing over how well Fetterman did at a recent rally. No mention of his pro-criminal stance, of course.

How about Pennsylvanians voting Fetterman out of office to relieve the taxpayers of the burden of providing him a salary? They would wind up having to pay someone else, of course, but maybe he or she won’t be a total skunk this time.
