Clemmons, who had a lengthy prison sentence commuted by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee nearly a decade ago, became the prime target Sunday in the search for the killer of Lakewood Police Sgt. Mark Renninger, 39; and Officers Ronald Owens, 37; Tina Griswold, 40; and Greg Richards 42.

How does it look now, Mike? Don't even bother running for President again, your days as a politician were over when these shots rang out.

Mass graves are cheaper than prisons. No leniency. There is no rehabilitation, only recidivism.

It is far past time for citizens to be demanding that violent criminals do ALL the time they are supposed to get.

Maurice Clemons would have died of old age in prison if Mike Huckabee had thought more of his constituents than this POS. Hey Mike, news flash baby, THEY DON’T GET BETTER IN PRISON.

He also recently was arrested and charged in Washington state for assaulting a police officer, and second-degree rape of a child. Using a bail bondsman, he posted $150,000 — only $15,000 of his own money — and was released from jail last week.

Pandering to the left can have real consequences.

I agree. I'd like to see the criminal class greatly reduced in size. My preference is that the longest time anyone can be sentenced to prison is 5 years. If their crime is so bad that a 5 year sentence is an affront, then they ought to be executed. Also, anyone being sentenced to prison 3 times should be executed. They ain't getting the message.

Penitentiaries are rather modern ideas, and in my opinion have not worked.
