Opinions expressed here do not have to be politically correct or watered down with sensitive text. I would argue there is no place for that here when discussing Clemmons and his deeds.
America is founded on freedom from oppression and when a man like Clemmons takes the lives of our peacekeepers, then there must be accountability for those acts. The accountability here, from all reports, was delivered in the form of a lone police officer doing his duty and likely trying to save his own life before this animal tried to kill again.
The amount of carnage, indecency, and savagery Clemmons forced onto others (to included children) in his short life is still untold. Thankfully, due to the heroic actions of Officer Kelly there will be no press conference on the courthouse stairs with a savvy lawyer wearing an expensive suit attempting to spin the reprehensible and unforgivable actions of a man that did not belong in lawful society. Don’t forget if the system Anon argues for was effective or even competent Clemmons would not have been out to commit these crimes. That is why there are prisons and that is why they need to stay occupied at or near their capacities to protect society from those that will do us harm. Yes, even 17-year olds that commit heinous crimes. Obviously a concept that Governor Mike Huckabee ignored. Now it appears there will be no political future for Huckabee. His name will rightfully and irrevocably be tied to the ill-advised releasing of a cop killer and child rapist!
Life in a republic without accountability is less than effective or desirable. So therefore, I wave goodbye to Clemmons and really big goodbye to Huckabee’s political future, as well. Neither will be missed!
