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.

      The two comments I replied to? Right above this? Do you not recall? Are you feeling okay?

        They were not even remotely doing that.

        Then you’ll have to explain what you meant by that? Because apparently that’s not clear.

          No, it’s pretty clear. You certainly understood in your first reply. I don’t know why you are pretending now. Nobody else in this thread was confused.

          I’m not really interested in going down this Rabbit Hole of self-deception you are building so I’m just going to ignore anything else you say from now on. Maybe touch some grass.
