Well,
along those lines, during a FOX interview this morning with the former prosecutor who originally tried the case, According to her, Clemmons claimed he ‘found Jesus’ in his first stint. That really doesn’t mean a hill of beans because he never changed his ways (repented). Also, he could have just as easily ‘found Allah’ during one of his subsequent stints, but I think this dude was just plain evil.

Nancy, there has been some *rumblings* to that topic, but as of yet, I haven’t seen anything other than speculation and I won’t make a post on speculation…

If someone can present me a factual article, from a credible source, hell yeah, I’ll blast this SOB and Islam all over the blogosphere…

I’m wondering if there is a Muslim connection, since he spent time in prison and that is one of their top recruiting sites.

At first glance, I was ready to slam Huck, but upon further review, I’m not quite sure Huck did anything any other Governor wouldn’t have done. At the time, Clemmons was 17 and was sentenced to something like 108 years for 2 felonies. Based on the parole board’s recommendation as well as the Judge that presided over Clemmons’ trial, Huck commuted the sentence to 47 years which didn’t release Clemmons, but made him eligible for parole after 9 years. As the Governor, Huck did not have the authority to make the decision on his own.

I am not an advocate of early release because it robs the convict of the opportunity to learn accountability; but I’m not so quick to throw Huck under the bus for this one… yet.

To be clear though, I don’t like Huck, and see him as a liability to conservatism. He just needs to go away.

If I may be so bold as to quote myself,

“If this dude is the shooter, he can thank ‘Huck’ for cutting short his ’schooling’, and expect to be short lived here on planet Earth.”

He didn’t even make it 24 hours from when I said that.

Good on the Seattle law enforcement officers who didn’t dither like our president.

Police found this killer in South Seattle and killed him in a shoot-out.
The 125,000 dollar reward did him in with his buddies.
He is dead. More info will come soon.

I don’t know.

You don’t know.

But it’ll all shake out in the wash.

Huckabee is dead to most everyone now.

Huckabee is a bleeding heart do-gooder, he has NO business being the POTUS or VPOTUS.. He’s far too compassionate, that is the problem with having deep religious convictions in MY opinion… Once in a while you need a good, old fashioned believer that has NO problem with telling them to stick the needle in or throw the switch…

Good point LD, the Wayne Dumond case was very complicated and I never intended to say his sentence as commutated by the governor, it was however blessed by him and the governor has great sway with the state parole board and they generally go along with his reccomendations. This case had many political overtones with the Clintons involved. I will still have to lay the release at the former governors doorsteps.
