Trump blasts California governor for halting executions
Fox News ^ | 3/13/2018

Posted on 03/13/2019 6:55:09 AM PDT by KeyLargo

Trump blasts California governor for halting executions “Defying voters, the Governor of California will halt all death penalty executions of 737 stone cold killers. Friends and families of the always forgotten VICTIMS are not thrilled, and neither am I!” Trump tweeted early Wednesday.

CALIFORNIA GOV. NEWSOM TO SIGN EXECUTIVE ORDER TO HALT DEATH PENALTY EXECUTIONS

The tweet comes hours before Newsom, a Democrat, is expected to sign an executive order that would halt all executions at San Quentin State Prison, closing a new execution chamber. The order would also withdraw lethal injection regulations. The order, though, would leave all convictions intact.

“The intentional killing of another person is wrong. And as governor, I will not oversee the execution of any individual,” Newsom said in a prepared statement obtained by the Southern California News Group.

Newsom, who has been a vocal opponent of the death penalty, said that the measure is a “failure” that “has discriminated against defendants who are mentally ill, black and brown, or can’t afford legal representation.” He also said that many innocent people have been wrongly convicted and sometimes put to death.

But Newsom’s order will go against the wishes of California voters, who in 2016 backed a measure to speed up executions.

True, but those babies executed each year are largely black and brown, so there is no problem with that. Human weeds, the unfit, the defective and inferior, you know. (/Sanger).

Protect the murderers but murder the children. The morals
of this country has deteriorated greatly in my 85 years.

The last time we were unified was in WWII, which I
remember as a child.

Exactly.

The Leftist elites are happy with the murder of the unwashed masses for the good of their cause.

What puzzles me is why the GOP does not continue to stress this with the black organizations that the Democrats are pleased with the murder of black babies?

The DIMs are the party of death...if you are a baby. If you are a convicted murderer, they love you. Note to all DIMs: What the He** is wrong with you? Why are you such nitwits?

The Democrat Party: Not Enough Minorities Aborted
Ryan Bomberger

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not represent the views of Townhall.com.

Many Americans heard the cheers of pro-abortion New York Democrats after they passed the extreme abortion bill, the Reproductive Health Act. Now the state’s laws mirror those of China and North Korea. Abortion is legal in New York for any reason and throughout the entire pregnancy. If someone kills a mother’s “wanted” unborn child in a homicidal act other than “legal abortion”, there’s no criminal statute to prosecute the attacker. New York Dems have gleefully deemed a group of human beings as ‘non-persons’.

Hmmmmm, where have we seen this before?

It’s Black History Month, and we’ve still not learned from history. Slavery. Jim Crow. KKK. Lynching. Poll Taxes. Literacy Tests. And now, Limitless Abortion. How many times does the Democrat Party need to be wrong? How many millions need to be killed, harmed and exploited for Americans—of any hue—to wake up and see abortion for what it is: systemic racism and elitism.

The GOP thinks that type of propaganda is beneath them. But the Democrats use the racial memes very effectively to control blacks. The result is that the impact of dozens of police shootings of black males each year (most of which are justified) outweigh the impact of a half million or so black babies killed for convenience every year.

The voters of California have no power. The decisions in this state are made by judges, the democrat party and the media.

The elections in this state are corrupt as hell. Ballot harvesting is ballot fraud.

Yes. Three propositions passed opposing sodomite mirage-in California-so the left took it to the court to get their way. Once they get their way, it’s never to be questioned again.

Why is it when reading this article and the comments do i hear a strange instrumental musing of The Doors with Jim Morrison screaming incoherently and banal?

California has essentially had no death penalty since the 70s. The legal system conspires to make sure almost no one is actually executed.

Of the 737 death sentences handed down since 1978, only 13 have actually been carried out, and none in the last 13 years.

Worth repeating!

I demand California return to its previous policy of executing one prisoner every 20 years. Most of those on CA’s death row will die of old age anyway, so they may as well not even have a death penalty.
