The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I looked through Biden's last minute pardons and didn't see any cop killers. Obviously I missed something. Please name the persons pardoned that were cop killers so I can find out more about them.

Wow. The media is burying this one also.

Let's start with these two: Ferrone Claiborne and Terence Richardson

More details on the case:

There are claims of exculpatory evidence with these two, but Glenn Youngkin blasted the release in his statement.

But the biggest scum bag that Biden gave clemency to is Leonard Peltier.

Petier was a member of AIM, the American Indian Movement and was convicted for the execution-style murder of two FBI agents.

Wray wrote Biden a letter about it:
npr.org - Biden FBI leonard peltier commutation

“Peltier is a remorseless killer, who brutally murdered two of our own,” former FBI Director Christopher Wray wrote in a letter to Biden on Jan. 10. “Mr. President, I urge you in the strongest terms possible: Do not pardon Leonard Peltier or cut his sentence short. It would be shattering to the victims’ loved ones and undermine the principles of justice and accountability that our government should represent.”

Outgoing FBI director Wray also said this about a possible parole for him:

The facts of Peltier’s crimes are well-established and beyond dispute. On June 26, 1975, Special Agents Jack R. Coler and Ronald A. Williams were searching for a fugitive when Peltier and others mowed them down in a barrage of gunfire.3 Peltier’s group fired more than a hundred rounds, compared to the five the two outnumbered agents were able to fire in return.4 After the onslaught, Peltier approached the wounded young men and brutally executed them at close range.5

Peltier shot Special Agent Coler twice in the head as he lay on the ground unconscious.6 Special Agent Williams was on his knees, unable to stand, when Peltier shot him in the face through an outstretched hand.7 The fatal shots were fired from a high-velocity, small-caliber firearm. Eyewitnesses placed the murder weapon in Peltier’s hands,8 and a .223-caliber cartridge retrieved from the trunk of one of the agent’s cars was later linked ballistically to Peltier’s AR-15.9
