If Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper (D) is not re-elected in November, he says he "could" respond to the loss by commuting the death sentence of mass shooter Nathan Dunlap.
Dunlap is the infamous killer who shot 5 and killed 4 at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese in 1993. He was angered over being fired, and Denver Magazine 5280 reports that Dunlap was at his girlfriend's apartment having sex with her when the police tracked him down "only...a few hours" after the shootings.
Dunlap was sentenced to death but when the date for his execution came up in 2013, Hickenlooper granted a "temporary reprieve." The National Journal reported that he chose this action as a way to pass the buck on taking a firm stand on the death penalty. Families of the victims gunned down by Dunlap were heartbroken and outraged.
The Journal also pointed out that Hickenlooper has since indicated he could further his action -- changing it to full clemency -- should Coloradans elect Republican Bob Beauprez instead of him in November.

Is this the same family as the Sen. Hickenlooper who bravely and rightly stood up for Joe McCarthy in ‘50 ?
That would make a great anti Hoople ad IMO.
Why wait bring in the guys in the white van with the straight jacket now! The man is a a fool!
“Vote for me, or murderers go free!”
George Ryan. He wasn’t trying to sway the election, he was trying to curry favor with inmates, since he was headed to prison.
Distantly related, yes. John is no Bourke.
Talk about your crystal clear illustration of our national decline in the interim !
(not to say that Congress hasn't always had a preponderance of walking slime)
Do what you think you have to you POS.
classy
Followed u on Twitter....
I live in Oklahoma but Colorado has always been my 2nd favorite state. It has been sad to watch it go from a solid Red state to Blue. May time restore it.
Exactly, precisely.
No thought whatsoever to the victims or their families.
Just typical vapid, shallow, narcissistic all-about-him liberal sick-o.
(and the Governor is a whack job as well)
he walked into the Aurora restaurant where he had been fired and killed four of his former co-workers. The victims were restaurant manager Margaret Kohlberg, 50, Sylvia Crowell, 19, Ben Grant and Colleen OConnor, both 17.

Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
It’s a pot state, you will never it restore it to red.
Not with CO voting laws.
Don’t count on it. Lickenpooper is dead meat here. The pot vote was a one-time thing, and most likely a reaction to the war on drugs being completely over the top. Nothing has changed here after that vote.
I DO remember 20 years ago saying that all the California immigrants were going to screw Colorado up, and that has happened. Why is liberalism so much like ebola?
Nope..
Worse, the new Christian has become PC and allowed god to be removed from our Gov.
