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.

      Honestly I’m legitimately surprised he didn’t pardon him and give him a freaking medal, then bring Rittenhouse in so he and Roof can argue about whether it’s more redpilled to kill Pro BLM white protesters for being “race traitors” or actual black people for… being black people.
