Summary

President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates to life without parole, sparing all but three convicted of high-profile mass killings.

Biden framed the decision as a moral stance against federal executions, citing his legal background and belief in the dignity of human life.

Donald Trump criticized the move as senseless, vowing to reinstate the death penalty.

Reactions were mixed: some victims’ families condemned Biden, while others supported his decision. Human rights groups praised it as a significant step against capital punishment.

    The only thing that I can come to the conclusion is that two of the three are neo-nazis.

    He could be sending a message, and that’s what Trump is actually pissed about.

    The Boston bomber I can’t justify with that same line of thinking though.

    Executions are barbaric, plus life in prison is far more cruel anyway.

      That actually makes sense.
