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.

    What if they raped a baby to death right in front of you?

      Then I’d be a witness and therefore not qualified to pass judgement in their case. Conflict of interest.

        Man fuck you, you are guilty as well. That’s an instant removal from society. You might want to get therapy you are missing a soul.

          You’re getting awfully worked up about the hypothetical baby you’re using to justify murder.

            Am I? Would you even try to stop it or would you wring your hands and wait for the police to show up?
