Cop Killer was pardoned from a life sentence by Mike Huckabee 9 years ago

:rofl You really think he was being unfairly punished because he black. That was Arkansan law . It wasn't because he was black, so your bring the race card into this. Figures, that Huckabee would do this. It has nothing to do with race he was a CONVICTED FELON. He was given those at 17, I believe, to think be that young and having that kind of rap sheet wouldn't lead him down to this is a morn or a hack.This man was given a 95 year sentence at such a young age should have given Huckabee grave doubt in letting him out.

I'm not thinking anything, can't you read plain English? I said Huckabee thought he received too much punishment.

Your as bad as huck pass the buck Huckabee, he blames everyone, but him. The prosecutor even said that he shouldn't be out on the streets. You think this would think after this the gop would dump the christen right from the gop platform, but not likely. This is the second guy to commit murder after being granted clemency by Huckabee (gee, clemency & Huckabee rhyme).

Who else did Huckabee grant clemency who committed murder afterwards.

Not Wayne Dumond. He never recieved clemency (or a pardon or commutation) by Mike Huckabee.

Willie Horton was a convicted murderer serving life without parole.

Maurice Clemmons was a convicted burglar.

Big difference.

Case closed.

Governor Huckabee disagreed with you.

Five parole board members disagreed with you.

The trial judge disagreed with you.

I disagree with you.

Face it.

You're wrong.

This is going to be an unpopular point of view, but as long as you have pardons, and as long as you have paroles, there are going to be mistakes made. Sometimes those mistakes will have tragic consequences, but that is just how it is. I don't much care for Huckabee, but I suspect he feels pretty ****ty right now, and I hope he will learn from this. Unless we change the system to not allow pardons, commuting of sentences, and parole, things like this will happen. I suspect this was a well intentioned act on Huckabee's part that went wrong, and I see nothing to gain from condemning Huckabee for being basically human, and thus less than perfect.

Absolutely brilliant. Great post.

Do you even know what semantics means? There is a difference. Huckabee is not my hero but he did not let this killer out and either time.

What's the matter can't you find a way to blame this on Bush, or could it somehow be related to Sarah Palin.

You have got to do something to take focus away fro the real issues Obama is failing to intelligently address.

Let me slow this down for you, since this whole thing is going way way way over your head. This whole thing has split parties and ideologies. There are liberals who think Huckabee did nothing worse than make an inevitable mistake. There are conservatives who think Huckabee should be strung up and shot over this. This is not a partisan thing. This has nothing to do with Obama.

Let me repeat that for you: This has nothing to do with Obama. You have a serious fixation on Obama, you might want to seek psychiatric help for it.
 
Washington Stops Taking Parolees From Arkansas After Shootings

OLYMPIA, Wash. — Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire said Wednesday the state won't accept any more parolees from Arkansas until she's assured of a better system for sending them back.

Officials in Washington and Arkansas have been sparring over who had responsibility for Maurice Clemmons who killed four Lakewood police officers Sunday at a Parkland coffee.

Clemmons was shot to death early Tuesday by a Seattle police officer.

At issue is a warrant that Arkansas officials issued for Clemmons. Arkansas corrections officials say the warrant should have been enough to keep Clemmons in jail on an earlier Pierce County charge. But Washington officials say it wasn't handled properly in Arkansas.

Actually, Governor Jim Guy Tucker reduced Dumonds way excessive sentence years before Governor Huckabee was involved in any way.

I'll put it to you this way.

How long should Clemmons have served in prison when he never harmed anyone in commission of a crime?

Be honest and not this "habitual criminals should be locked up for life BS".

Actually, I do feel that way?.....;)
When is enough, enough?.....
In this case only when four cops are dead & the perp himself is taken out....:doh

To be fair after the fact the original judge had a damned good eye.
 
i thought good, solid repubs are not supposed to trust those liberal parole boards?
 
did huckabee grant him clemency or not?

Do you know what clemency is?

Huckabee put him in a position to where he could be released.

The parole board actually released him.

If Huckabee had granted clemency and then the parole board had denied parole, he wouldn't have been set free, which kind of goes against your whole "Huckabee set him free" argument.

Now you could say Huckabee's actions led to him being free, that'd be true

No one has denied that.

What people are denying is that the clemency is the primary cause of the murder of the four police officers.

Nine years later and a thousand miles away.
 
I wish people would understand this isn't about what actually took place it's about giving Huckabee the Palin treatment. Don't talk about facts truth or anything of the kind just attack and keep everyone focus off the real problem. That being Obama and his imbecilic ideas and plans to destroy the Nation as is seen in almost all of his Socialist/Communist actions.

What's that you say? Prove he has a Socialist/Communist agenda. Okay here watch Howard Dean. The set down and shut up.
