it is so strange, when u send them to jail they boo at you for being so mean. when u pardon them they boo at u for being such a pushover. not an easy crowd to please are they?
How many people boo rapists and murderer go to jail?
Seriously, the conclusion you are jumping to is a smidge to far.
What is even more ignorant is all the reactions when ALL the facts were not out yet.
All the know-it-alls jump at the first hint of any repub doing something their own dem politicians do.
He was just interview and explained the actions.
I wouldn't say they should look it up and watch because they wouldn't anyway.
Are you thinking that Barbour reviewed the cases of each prisoner whom he pardoned and found convincing evidence that they were innocent such as DNA? If so, he gave the public no explanation. These prisoners worked at his residence.
IMO, if any of those prisoners, who were released, commit further crimes or murder, the blood is on Barbour's hands.

Reason: trolling
If you practice Christianity, let all the prisoners out of jail!
Quote:
Former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour said Friday he's "very comfortable" with his decision to grant pardons or other clemency to more than 200 people, including convicted killers, in his last days in office, telling Fox News that Mississippi is predominantly Christian and believes in forgiveness.
And they call liberals bleeding hearts! Good grief!
Giving a hand out to a drifter or homeless person is one thing. Releasing convicted murderers and rapists, well, me thinks Jesus didn't have that in mind.
Barbour said Friday during his first interviews on the pardons that nearly 190 of the people who got pardons or other reprieves had already been released from prison before his actions. Only 10, he said, have been or will be fully released from prison.
Five prisoners pardoned and released Sunday by outgoing Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour (R) have gone missing amid a burgeoning debate about whether the 200-plus individuals given clemency by the governor merited mercy under the state constitution.
On Wednesday, circuit judge Tomie Green, after a complaint by state Attorney General Jim Hood, blocked the release of 21 of the convicts because they may not have met a public notice requirement under the state constitution.Judge Green also mandated that the five men released over the weekend report back to the state and attend a Jan. 23 hearing, but Mr. Hood said Thursday that the men can't be found.
"These convicts got out and hit the road," Hood said, according to CNN. “This is probably going to end up in some attempt by us to have fugitive warrants issued for these people. There’s going to be a national search for some of them.”

Yeah, apparently Jesus made him do it.
What explanation can anyone in their right mind give to excuse that action? It has absolutely nothing to do with a political party, but what is right from wrong.
Murder, rape, DUI deaths, etc are not victimless crimes. Will he claim ignorance to procedure and law, as apparently he did show it with regard to 21 prisoners who were up for pardon.

I wonder if you even KNOW the numbers that were released BEFORE the pardons?
Only 10 or so were released, the others were already out of jail.
