Huckabee Responsible For Murder Of 4 Police Officers

The suspect wanted in connection for the murders of 4 Washington police officers was sentenced in 1989 to 108 years in prison for a long list of convictions.
Then Arkansas Governor and former and potentially future Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee commuted his sentence in 2000 to 47 years, five months and 19 days making him immediately eligible for parole.
The following year he was arrested for a parole violation and sent back to prison until 2004.
While Huckabee made the mistake of commuting the sentence, the system has also failed society. How is it that a man with a commuted sentence of 47 years for a series of violent crimes can see freedom after just 11 years?
Our entire justice system needs a complete overhaul.

Huckabee's questionable pardons were starting to surface in 2008.

S. Obviously you know Jack shit.
Huckabee issued almost a thousand pardons-more than all the surrounding states combined. He pardoned dozens of murders and rapist.
This is not the first person to committ a murder after being pardoned by huckles. Willie Dumand raped and murdered six weeks after being pardoned by huckabee - huckabee claimed Dumond had found Jesus so was now a good person.

WIth any luck this will keep Huckabee from running for President. He would make GWB look conservative when it comes to spending.

If he does run for President I hope he doesn't run on an "I am tough on crime" platform.

Yeah its always good for cops (douchebags) to kill a guy and be judge, jury and executioner.
The fact that the guy they killed ("allegedly") shot 4 cops isnt that big of a deal. The big deal is that he killed before, went to prison and was let out. If your going to kill people after you get out, cops are a good place to start at least they are armed but I would suggest politicians first then cops.
Please remember when reading my posts about cops that because they act like their lives are better than everyone elses (hes a cop killer ) I actually care less about their lives to try and make things even.

Yes, we would......it's a shame most cops are former military, as it would be good PPV contest on which group can wrap themselves in the flag fastest while sucking their own diks...

Does anyone recall the Michael Dukakis/Willie Horton scandal? I hope the Dems who defended Dukakis on that matter are now defending Huckabee.

Agree....and likewise, hope the Reps who trashed Dukakis over the issue give no quarter to the Huckster...

Not even similar CitadelGrad. Dukakis did not personally grant Horton freedom. He VETOED the bill that allowed murderers to be eligible for the furlough program.
Two of Huckabees "converted to Christians so now ok to pardon" buddies have now committed additional murders.

They won't. Especially since Huckabee personally approved this while Dukakis opposed the Horton release

I gotta defend Huckabee here. He probably has no chance at winning the Republican nomination now... but, I don't think the pardon was that unjustified. The guy was sentenced to 100 years in prison for crimes he committed as a minor and none of the crimes were murder or rape. Certainly shitty luck that the guy goes out and does this... but, it's certainly not Huckabee's fault.

Sounds like the whining of two insecure little men.
Grow up. Cops are not the boogeyman.
BTW, I hear Seattle PD is taking heat for being seen patting the officer responsible for shooting Maurice Clemmons on the back, while standing over his dead body...
Hell, if I'd been there, we'd have been popping champagne corks and pissing on the bastard.

Don't believe I said they were the boogeyman, but then again, niether are the people who break minor laws, yet the court system & their officers treat them as such..."they made their choice to break the law & are criminals" you say? I agree....and cops choose to be cops which involve placing themselves in dangerous situations (usually to fulfill some insecuritties of their own through the carrying of firearms & air of authority). But my problem isn't with cops, but those in society who decree through political correctness that we must pay homage to cops doing their frigging jobs....they deserve as much thanks for enforcing the law as the sanitation worker emptying the trash.....

Yet, when an armed mad is standing outside your home at 3 am attempting to break in, the sanitation worker is at home in bed while the police are driving at dangerous speeds rushing to your home to protect you with their lives...
And when you learn your daughter was raped walking home from school, the sanitation worker goes home at 5p while the police work 24 hrs searching and investigating to locate the person who harmed her...
And when a mentally deranged individual walks into a diner and executes four police officers, then flees, roaming the community carrying a handgun he took from one of the dead officers, the sanitation worker isn't even charged with the responsibility of cleaning up the crime scene, while the police are now charged with tracking down the killer to prevent him from killing civilians as well as other officers...
...eh...guess you're right App...
...their duties are no greater than a garbage man's...

Eh.....guess I am right TMan....society rewards what they value....let's see how people in the Sacramento area value police vs. Sanitation workers.....
...the city's 584 police officers combined for $2.6 million in overtime. The average cop brought home $69,811 in salary and overtime combined.......The city's 143 sanitation workers earned an average of $57,390. http://www.sacbee.com/ourregion/story/1766993.html
So, minus the OT, cops avg $46,074 vs avg Sanitation worker's salary of $57,390 in your neck of the woods....OUCH!...thank you for your service?....now take out the trash....

I read where this gunfight lasted 44 minutes...
...probably would have ended sooner but for the sanitation workers mandatory thrice a day 15 minute "out of truck" breaks provided by their SEIU contract...
[youtube][/youtube]
...OH, Wait!!!
I forgot...
...sanitation workers go home and hide during these incidents, it's the police who handle dangerous situations.
Huhh...
Maybe the police should select SEIU for their bargaining unit...
...then they can fuck off like all the other service workers and let the public fend for themselves.
