One of the three he didn't pardon was Dylann Roof. I thought they fried his ass already, had no idea he was still alive.
I did wonder why the three that weren't spared were left to die.. and I still kinda do.
Also I'm kinda surprised Trump didn't pardon Dylann Roof.
It answers this question in the article -- didn't pardon mass murderers
Did no such thing, simply stated who the three that didn't get commuted were, nothing about why they didn't get it.
It's because the entire party got justifiably shellacked in the press and court of public opinion for pardoning one of the kids for cash judges. This happened where I live and I remember the outrage over the absurdly light sentences they recieved to begin with, clemency on top was just too much for many of us to stomach.
Some people really don't deserve second chance or eleventh hour stay.
Because the media now mostly mentions the three bastards who didn't have their sentences commuted, instead of the 37 that did. Changes the focus. Now people agree with Biden not to commute these sentences, and don't think much more about the ones that were commuted.
I guess, continued explanations of why the politics are failing in America. Average citizen, "ok he pardoned more than his son, great. Oh he believes in the dignity of human life (strange way to put it but ok). He decided to leave 3 to die? Umm ok."
It's the same shtick with the "build back america greater" infrastructure bill. It all sounds great for the media till you actually scrutinize it. "Oh you're wanting to spend how much on highspeed rail? Great! Oh, it's all going to a shady company that has the countries worse rail record and has been lining everyone's pockets financially but running a deficit since operation? umm ok?"
Apparently I misunderstood the above
What? I'm categorically against the death penalty. I don't think it's controversial to think Roof is a bastard for what he did.
