Dylan Roof is an easy pardon for the Dotard. He'll send him on tour with Killer Kyle.

Good. No need to satisfy the sadist's blood lust. He'll find other targets soon enough.

Good! The death penalty is barbaric and has no place in a civilized society. It is always about revenge and never actually about justice.

Neither do murders.

Killing the killer is justice.

"Neither do murders."

Which is why murder is a crime in civilized society.

...

Killing the killer is justice.

When the Germans were writing their nrw post-WWII constitution they prohibited the government from executing anyone for any crime. Our country should do the same thing. If the government has the right to execute then it is a slippery slope when any crime can be punished by execution. Probably criticizibg Trump will soon be at the top of the list!

Lewzer should have kept his mouth shut about going on a Federal killing spree on Day One.

Oh well, he's still got three... two white nationalists and a Russian immigrant.

And now for the "coup de grace" before Biden falls asleep for the winter.

Blanket pardons for everyone on Trumpy's "enemies list"!

You are so Trump obsessed you act like he's the reason all of these pardonees were on death row in the first place.

Seriously, please see a therapist. Your obsession is bad for your health.

They are not "pardonees".

Remember when Putin's demented orange bitch pardoned a cop killer?

"Prisoners" or "Inmates" would work. Pardonee is actually a word.

When I type it the word had those red dots underneath indicating I had misspelled it.

No big. It's a word, just not applicable here.

Exactly. And these people did not.

"a Russian immigrant"

A Caucasian, no less.

It's interesting to note that he and his brother were asylum seekers. No doubt that plays right into Trump's narrative.

Yup. He'll kill the one that became a US citizen. That will send a message.
