Colorado Governor Is Loopy. Why Would Anyone Release A Convicted Mass Murderer?

Democrat Governor Threatens to Release Murderers If People Don’t Vote for Him [VIDEO]

Colorado’s Democrat governor said that if he is not re-elected in November, he may choose to grant clemency to a convicted mass murderer currently sitting on death row.

Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper said in a recent interview that he would have plenty of time to commute Nathan Dunlap’s death sentence between the election in November and the time he leaves office.

Dunlap was sentenced to death by lethal injection for a shooting at an Aurora Chuck E. Cheese that killed four people and wounded another in 1993. He was angry because he had recently been fired, Breitbart reports.

Twenty years later, Hickenlooper granted Dunlap, now 40, a “temporary reprieve” in what some said then was a blatant attempt to avoid committing himself to a position oncapital punishment. Families of Dunlap’s victims were reportedly outraged.

Two months ago, audio of a CNN interview with the Democrat governor was published by Complete Colorado, Breitbart said. In the audio, Hickenlooper said he could “give it full clemency between election day and the end of the year.”

Watch the brief report here:

Hickenlooper needs to make a call. By waffling on this decision, he not only cynically causes a death row inmate to wonder what his ultimate fate will be — with no end to the wondering in sight.

But worse, he also puts the families of Dunlap’s victims in the same position — waiting for closure that may never come.

It’s called leadership, Governor Hickenlooper. If you lack the courage to act on your convictions, perhaps it’s time to step down and let someone else do what you won’t.
