(Just a reminder, Haley Barbour is the former Chairman of the Republican National Committee. - promoted by mooncat)
This is the most disturbing political story I've seen in many a moon. Haley Barbour's pardons of white convicted murderers stank to high heaven, especially in light of his refusal to do the same for a black woman convicted of stealing $11 unless she'd agree to give up a kidney. Among those pardons, one truly stands out for us here at Left in Alabama: David Glenn Gatlin. Gatlin's crime was horrific. He drove nine hours to shoot his estranged wife in the head in cold blood while she held their infant son in her arms. The son survived, but he was discovered by police in a pool of his mother's blood. Gatlin also shot a family friend, who survived. Gatlin commited the crime in 1993 and has been released after serving less than twenty years for such a heinous crime. Where did Gatlin end up? Alabaster, Alabama. In a quiet residential neighborhood.
Gatlin is staying with a man named Earnest Jacks, who says he believes in "redemption." That's not enough for me to be OK with a man who murdered someone in cold blood and hasn't yet made so much as an apology living in my state, but Jacks should have stopped there. But he doesn't. In essence, I am the Anti-Christ. But the Anti-Christ is not a bad person.
Jacks also has a plan for social security and it involves genocide against a certain group of people living in Florida and Arizona. I will solve social security. How I will do that is I will bomb Florida and Arizona where there's thousands of them. (Reporter) And God told you to do this? (Jacks) Yes.
Jacks also has a plan to solve illegal immigration but Fox 6 thankfully didn't give him that platform. Haley Barbour is responsible for releasing this despicable man into the arms of another person whose ideas seem just as sick as his past actions. There is evil in this world and Haley Barbour has apparently seen fit to unleash it on Alabama. |
