Democrat’s move prevents these people from executions under future governors, after Christa Pike’s failed execution

Gavin Newsom, California’s governor, has commuted the death sentences of more than 500 people on the state’s death row on Thursday, a move that ensures they can never be executed under future administrations.

The Democrat’s mass commutation at the end of his term has converted all of the state’s death sentences to life without the possibility of parole, the largest clearing of any US death row in modern history.

The move comes after the failed execution of Christa Pike in Tennessee sparked global outrage and renewed calls for a nationwide pause on capital punishment.

    Instead of crowing about how valid everyone else should think your opinion is, try having an opinion that’s more than a thin justification for state sanctioned murder.

      I don’t care if you agree with my opinion. I’ve spent zero time trying to convince you of anything. All I’m saying is that you’re presenting your own subjective opinion as if it is objective fact and that simply isn’t true
