I know, I was thinking the same thing. No matter what you think about this, why couldn’t he have waited until after the holidays. The timing seems exceptionally cruel, almost deliberately so. It’s as if he hates the families of the victims and wants them to suffer.

You have a distorted perspective. These people are still going to live out their days and die in prison. They just won’t be killed by the government. It’s really nothing to get worked up about.

It is absolutely cruel to make the families of the victims deal with this right before the holidays. Biden could have waited until January and did not. He forced those poor families to have to grapple with this just before the holidays. It is grotesquely cruel behavior from Biden.

I can tell this will come as a surprise to you, but not everyone thinks it’s ok for the government to murder people. Even families of victims disagree on this. You have no idea what they believe or how they feel. Life without parole instead of death at the hands of the government is still a life sentence of hell on earth. Some would argue that it’s worse. They are not getting away with anything or being told what they did is ok.

Biden has been a devout Catholic his whole life. Many would argue that Christmas is exactly the time that someone would choose to stop more death.

All of that can be true and it’s still phenomenally cruel to do this a few days before Christmas. It is truly shocking behavior.

And if Biden is doing it because he feels his own feelings on Christmas are most important, that just demonstrates just how cruel and self-absorbed he is.

I’m actually opposed to the death penalty and I find this astonishingly cruel from Biden and the Democrats.

Why should any one decide a human being should be put to death? These criminals are not being pardoned. They will die in prison.

I’m against the death penalty. But even I can see that how this was done (no advance warning the victims’ families, done days before Christmas/New Year, inconsistently applied) is horrific and cruel. There just isn’t another word for it. It’s cruel.

I think Biden is trying to destroy the entire Democratic Party on his way out. Nobody with any heart can support what Biden did here, especially when combined with the other terrible clemency orders (cash for kids judge, lady who stole $55m from a town for her horse ranch, etc). This is all immoral at this point.

He’s doing en masse pardons based on certain criteria. Quit personalizing it.

Yeah, and he could have waited until after the holidays so the families of the victims wouldn’t have so horribly blindsided.

But the Democrats have never cared about crime victims, so why would Biden even think about how his actions might feel to the families of the victims? Of course he doesn’t care.

is that a joke? Children have been gunned down in their classrooms and all the Rs say is thoughts and prayers. How dare you even go there. Such audacity.

Republicans aren’t the ones who just commuted the sentences of child killers.

But they don’t seem to care when schoolchildren are killed.

NP. Pardons are SUPPOSED to be personalized. That’s the point. The president is not supposed to be allowed to circumvent our entire justice system. He or she is supposed to have power to grant clemency in rare and specific situations where there is reason to grant it - cases of mistaken identity or where new evidence has come to light or something else that would warrant a presidential pardon. Not drug addicts just because they’re his son, or murderers or corrupt judges. Frankly, given recent events, I think we need to take away that power. And yes, with the way that Biden is abusing his power in his final months I agree with the PP that Biden is angry and doing his best to burn down the country on his way out. Shame on him.

They’re NOT PARDONS. Before you get bent out of shape over something, take time to make sure you understand what’s happening.

Commuted is not a pardon. Say it with me. Commuted is not a pardon.

Not to mention there is no method of execution that is able to overcome the “cruel or inhumane” punishment rule. Lethal injections have been failing and causing grueling painful deaths. There is no humane way to kill someone

Death penalty is accounted for in the constitution, so it can't be cruel and unusual to give a death penalty.

Biden isn’t making these decisions. The unseen progressive Presidential machine is. This is totally incongruous with his Congressional voting record.

Biden has always been anti death penalty so I am not sure. But at least previously he had vowed to pursue this through legislative changes.

The actions are different too. They’re still
in prison for the rest of their life without chance of parole, they just won’t be murdered by the government. Nothing about that is offensive unless you get excited about the death penalty.

This. They are not pardoned. They just get prison for life, no parole and we can save money on all the death penalty hearings.

You simply cannot grant clemency based on your own morals if who is more evil - you have to take away the death penalty in ALL cases or not at all. For all you who suggest this is the right move - what do you say to the families whose family were brutally murdered? Would your kid or loved one be gruesomely violently killed and the assailant found guilty and out of death row - how would you feel knowing this decision wouldn't stand yet another murder can be put to death?

Im a democrat and we lost for a whole lot of other reasons than this.
