My heart is bursting. On the eve of my first child's birth, my dad - who's been in prison nearly my entire life - was granted clemency. He never intended harm, yet his crime devastated many families. My heart breaks for the families that can never get their loved ones back.

Most people (not all) are worthy of redemption. I'm sure he's changed. Go give that man a hug.

He was an unarmed getaway driver, who was sentenced to life.

He knew his accomplices had weapons, was he ever present at the apartments the Weather Underground put together bombs? He is an animal deserving to lock away until his body gives up his evil soul

He's the only one still in jail. Not sure why you think a getaway driver deserved 75 years. Authoritarians are weird.

In New York he is just as culpable. Did you know the guard was kill at a mall miles away from where the Police officers were killed. Telling me he did not know his pals weee down to kill won’t cut it … sorry

I'm aware. Rightists (like you) are authoritarians. Their ideals are those that build/stabilize authoritarian govts. I'm a leftist. My ideals build/stabilize free & democratic states. You're advocating for the policies that build & brutal & oppressive society. We're different.

This is where I ask folks to look at my name. I literally don't even believe in the death penalty for murderers. I want prison to be reformative, & I want schools to provide a high quality of education, nutrition, & counseling to ensure we have fewer people incarcerated.

You should save all of your authoritarian preaching for those who want to live in a fascist state. I'm full up on crazy at this time. You do you, boo. I'm going to be over here on the right side of history.

Please I’m a kid who grew up poor from the projects in Brooklyn. That’s a place folks like you talk about but would never set foot in. If only your Mom had swallowed!
