Democrat John Fetterman Suggests ‘Shawshank Redemption’ Movie Justifies Freeing Convicted Killers from Prison
Breitbart ^ | 12 Oct 2022 | JOHN BINDER

Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D), running against Republican Mehmet Oz for the state’s open United States Senate seat, suggests that the movie The Shawshank Redemption justifies releasing convicted murderers from prison.

During an on-camera interview with NBC News’s Dasha Burns, Fetterman justified his record of helping to free convicted murderers from Pennsylvania prisons by stating that actor Morgan Freeman’s character in The Shawshank Redemption is about “giving somebody a chance” as opposed to having them serve their full life sentence.

Freeman’s character in the film admits to having committed a double homicide.

Like Pretty Woman justifies marrying a prostitute?

I wonder if he thinks Little Mermaid justifies the eradication of sharks?

The Dukes of Hazard similarly justifies jumping 1960's muscle cars with Confederate Battle Flags on their roofs. But, I digress.

Chappelle Show had a quick skit on Pretty Woman if it was real.
The chick is talking about her life, and then the guy goes “Okay, get the **** out.”

Like the heavily drug induced ravings of "One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest" justified releasing the insane into our streets?

Over a period of several weeks, Kesey ingested these hallucinogens and wrote of his drug-induced experiences for government researchers. From this experience, Kesey wrote his most celebrated novel, One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, and began his own experimentations with psychedelic drugs.

Festterman is bereft of any sense of reason or hold on reality.

Perhaps he'd be better off institutionalized.
