Barber has lost his ever-loving mind!
>>>>“David Glenn Gatlin, a trustee inmate has been working at the governor’s mansion..”
David Glenn Gatlin blew his wife’s brains out point blank while she was holding a baby, and turned himself in and admitted his guilt.<<<<
Sickening; maybe early onset senility?
Also see # 47.
.
However I spelled it, he's gone off the deep end!!!!!
OMG!!!! WHat is WRONG with these people?? Will we ever get rational REAL conservatives in positions of authority? They can’t ALL go native!
Barbour has been too close to the
RNC for too long.
Follow the money

Wonder if Barbour has early onset senility?

It’s the Twilight Zone.
In the past year, obama ordered bin laden to be killed, and Barbour pardons murderers.
To think that this yo-yo was thinking about a Presidential run. What has happened to the GOP??????
It IS the twilight zone. Why did he do this? It’s completely unfathomable. I heard recently that it wasn’t just 4 murderers, but rather 9, and he granted another 200 pardons to felons today. Too bizarre. I HOPE he never ever tries to get on the national stage as a viable candidate for Senate, congress, president or vice president
You think this is bad? Just wait until Obama is on his way out. He will pardon Hitler, Mussolini, Charles Manson, Jack the Ripper, and Nancy Pelosi.
Very true thoughts. It’s how I look at many of the unbelievable/unexcusable actions you see every night on the news. I have to take comfort that there will be a judgement day.
“I derive great comfort from my belief there is an ultimate judge. I fervantly pray Barbour is not allowed to pass through the Pearly Gates.”
Ummm... Shouldn’t you be praying for him instead? Pray that he see’s the error in his ways and ask God for forgiveness. Your prayers for someones damnation are in vain... Just sayin.
Barbour should let those guys he pardoned move in with him and live in his house for a month, if he thinks they’ve been rehabilitated.
Your point is well taken. I will pray the man ultimately sees the light. Certainly he has the chance to acknowledge his perfidy right up to the point of death. That said, my life 68 years of life experience tells me he will not unless something terrible happens as a direct result of his misguided clemency. I fear at least one of these murderers will hurt—or worse—someone again. Statistically, that is an 80% certainty for violent offenders. For the most part the only reason that percent isn’t higher is that a large number of the 20% that did not not commit another crime were simply too old to do so.
Which brings up another point. Why did Barbour pick murderers for clemency? Please spare me the wrongful judgement argument. The fact is that only only a fraction of a percent of condemned felons were the result of wrongful convictions. Certainly Barbour had the opportunity to show mercy on a whole host of young, non-violent offenders who really did just make a terrible in-the-moment choice. In ther words the likehood of them committing another crime was low to non-existent.
I find a bit odd, too, that Barbour chose to have murderers serving him in his home. I think that’s the last thing a rational person would choose to do. Don’t you?
He pardoned a whole handful of violent criminals, including rapists and murderers, on his way out the door.
I thought he was a better man than that. Obviously not.
As bad as this is, just wait to see the pardons list form Obama while he’s on his way out the door. That should be SOME list.
Fortunately, Judge Tomie Green blocks 21 of Mississippi Governor Barbour's pardons -- The judge says some of them violate the state's constitution... not to mention common sense.
