Biden Commutes the Death Penalty Sentences of 37 of 40 Federal Death Row Inmates
Townhall ^ | December 23, 2024 | John R Lott Jr

Posted on 12/23/2024 3:55:40 PM PST by JohnRLott

"Those spared include child killers and mass murderers. . . .The Trump administration executed 13 people, but the federal government has not executed anyone under Biden. . . . Like quickly selling border wall parts for pennies on the dollar, commuting these murderers' sentences may be another way for Biden to hinder Trump’s agenda. , , ,The death penalty saves lives and can also be used to save tax dollars."

Horrific. They all should have been executed decades ago. And “LWOP” is an oxymoron. Many of these perps are released on “humanitarian” grounds when they hit old age.

People react to short term punishments for the most part.

“If I do this, I could be KILLED by the state within 6 months of getting caught”

has a lot more impact than..

“If I do this, I could likely die of old age in my own cell away from the riff raff”

No, it might not deter a lot of people...but if it deters more, then why not?

I beg to differ. The biden admin has absolutely executed people over the past four years. None of them on death row.

Ashli Babbit was the first, for example. Many have followed.

He has pardoned/commuted the sentence of some of the most nefarious and monstrous criminals. He must feel like soulmates with these criminals...

Flame away, but pro-life means pro-life, which makes Biden and his kind the ultimate hypocrites because they have no problem commuting the sentences of convicted murderers, but support the murder of innocent, unborn children.

I trust God to punish these killers. In the meantime, sentence them to life in prison, solitary confinement, and hard labor, with a rope and stool just in case they are not happy with the living arrangements.

Marvin Gabrion killed Timmerman’s 18 month old too. FBI drained the lake where the bodies were dumped using pumps. Never found the toddlers body. Timmerman was found bound and chained. I worked as a prosecutor in the area Gabrion killed. Came in at the tail end when the appeals were going on.

I was looking to see if he let Muslim terrorist Nidal Hasan off. The answer appears to be ‘not yet’.

He did no such thing, he was fast asleep when his Marxists staff faked his signature.
