Why knock one bird off its perch when you can knock off two?
"My position on the 2nd Amendment to the Constitution is as clear for me as the position held by most journalists toward the 1st Amendment. While I do not consider myself a “gun nut,” I proudly own a variety of firearms and enjoy hunting as well as sports shooting. But even if I were not a hunter or did not enjoy shooting, I would still be a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment right of Americans to own firearms for self-protection and as a matter of principle." - Mike Huckabee
Nine years ago, then-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee granted clemency to Clemmons, commuting his lengthy prison sentence over the protests of prosecutors.
"This is the day I've been dreading for a long time," Larry Jegley, prosecuting attorney for Arkansas' Pulaski County said tonight when informed that Clemmons was being sought for questioning in connection with the killings.
Clemmons' criminal history includes at least five felony convictions in Arkansas and at least eight felony charges in Washington. The record also stands out for the number of times he has been released from custody despite questions about the danger he posed.

Seriously. Then there's the question of why family-values guy Huckabee would let a convicted child rapist out in the first place. The only answer I can see is that the guy is an Oswald-type patsy being led around on a string by some intel outfit nobody can say no to. That would also explain how he handily gets blamed for the witness massacre. Wonder what those cops were investigating? Guess we'll never know.

Ed Troyer, a spokesman for the Pierce County Sheriff said police would be "surprised if there is a motive worth mentioning", behind the attack, but that the gunman had been "well versed" with the weapon.

For some reason the state was really adamant about giving him a second chance after only 8 years, despite ALL the evidence he was even more psychotic...they quietly released him in a Florida suburb where he ended up not only killing a prostitute, but a whole family.
It's...almost like that powers that be *intentionally* let loose killers to keep the public in a state of fear.
