I highly doubt this was done by Biden. Much more likely is that this was Obama and his cabal who put this in Biden’s ‘to sign’ box. It wouldn’t be surprising if they think this is one of the ways to win back those minority voters that they lost.

Another FReeper pointed out the fact that all of Biden’s commutations and pardons must be ignored. Sure, it’s the right of any sitting POTUS, but that’s assuming the sitting POTUS isn’t bat-shit crazy and in full dementia.

It can be proven that he’s not of sound mind, so not capable of making decisions like this. It would be a hell of a SCOTUS case — and maybe will be.

I do not support the death penalty.

I do not think the death penalty is racist.

But I do not trust my gov’t to convict only the guilty.

We know what they have done to Trump, the Jan 6 protesters, etc.

We know what Kamala Harris did in California, withholding exculpatory evidence.

We know prosecutors that want to make a name for themselves and have a “tough” conviction record no matter what.

I would rather pay to keep people in prison for life than to execute innocent citizens.....and our gov’t has proven it is willing to kill innocent citizens.

I will not applaud Biden because he did these commutations for the wrong reason, but I agree with the outcome.

There may be arguments against the death penalty, but racism isn’t one of them.

50% of the murder victims are black, even though they make up 13% of the US population.

Everything is racist today. The other day I was looking at my coffee, and it was black coffee, then I poured milk in it which destroyed the black. There is only one conclusion I could take from that: It’s RACIST!!

Cops also kill more whites than blacks but the media of course ignores it to the point you would think no whites are killed.

Someday, you may regret those thoughts.
Some think all is okay until it happens to them.

“Must be that I’m racist./sarc”

You’d have to be, or a marginal idiot. This anti death penalty thing is not new, it’s been around for more than a century. Letting people live in a weather controlled, organized fed and entertained facility like a prison is neither punishment nor a determent to many who conduct the most heinious of crimes like murder, rape, kidnapping for torture or selling people. For them that do this, in way to many cases it is a lifetime vacation. And unless they die in prison, too many can get back out on to the street and the only thing they learned was a better way of life and the way to get there.

God put good and evil in our lives for reasons I don’t have the capacity to understand. But it’s our job not to harm by using it or being it. And many times it takes the ultimate sacrafice to be cured of something beyond humanity’s ability to protect from. And Biden just let over 90% of those we had jailed federally to protect our humanity loose into the street.

Maybe we should make it harder for people to do this. Maybe if a judge decides to make it available for evil to walk, he should serve part of the sentence he would have handed out if the defendent repeats. Sometimes judges, or presidents, don’t see they are not God and that they are not able to surmice the future. Especially when the one making the decision isn’t capable of living his own life without handlers. So the best they can do is over protect. And as horrible as it sounds, it’s the more humane way of living.
