Haley Barbour's controversial pardons

[hotatlboi]

Erasing a murderer's crime record is definitely not the same as filing for bankruptcy.

Indeed it isn't, the comparison is absurd.

When you file for bankruptcy, your credit rating is fucked for at least 10 years. It erases your debt and gives you another chance, but it is definitely not the same as if you had never had the debt, in that case your credit would still be perfect and you would not have all the trouble with loans, jobs, and other things that having a bankruptcy on your record brings.

Barbour provided clemency to more than 40 individuals charged in killings. Of those, 35 received full, unconditional pardons. Each of those folks will walk the streets now.

The victims are outraged, as well they should be. Such a move is a slap in the face to victims, the state’s criminal justice system as well as other, perhaps less politically connected, families with a relative serving prison time.

Barbour apparently thinks he knows more than the hundreds of jurors and dozens of judges involved in the cases. Barbour abused his power. Comparing this to bankruptcy is ridiculous.

I'm sure he will pardon some people on his last day in office on January 19, 2016.

I hope so...


The date not the political pardons...

I'll see your January 19, 2016 and I'll raise you a year.

AH, you're right! Thanks.

Make that January 19, 2017.

I like that even better.
