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.

    Yes I attent protests, and am part of local organizations. Yes I am armed. No I don’t want the people up top, but if they are going to be there, they should live in fear.

    As for why there haven’t been copycats yet? These things take time to get rolling, and we haven’t been presented another easy target yet. I’ve already said that billionaires should be our targets, not CEOs though not in this thread specifically.
