Clemmons was given a 95-year prison sentence in Arkansas in 1989 for a host of charges, including robberies, burglaries, thefts and bringing a gun to school.

His sentence was commuted in 2000 by then-Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, said Troyer.

Damn soft-on-crime Republicans.

Will this alone torpedo his potential run in 2012 for the Presidency? Shows alarmingly poor judgment.

[KrazyHorse]

Damnit, apparently I'm not the first one to come up with the analogy. A search for "Willie Horton" turns up 200+ results on Google News from the last few hours...

[KrazyHorse]

What are the odds this guy gets brought in alive?

[Asher]

I like how he was 'surrounded' in the house, and is now nowhere to be found.

Crazy coppers.

[KrazyHorse]

Yeah, that's completely amateur hour.

Shooting and killing 4 cops in cold blood? Check.
Making the local cops look like ****ing morons? Check.
Being black? Check.

This guy is going to be shot "resisting arrest" no matter what...

[Asher]

As morbid as the situation is, it's an amusing mental image to see an armada of heavily armed cops surrounding an empty house and talking constantly in the megaphone to tell the guy to 'man up'.

[Asher]

Reminds me of Mayerthorpe.

They'll take him alive so they can execute him during the 2012 elections. "Hey everybody, remember this guy that Huckabee set loose?"

With Palin throwing the switch... "rectifying Huckabee's mistake"

[Drake Tungsten]

Huckabee's done.

Now we just need to get rid of Palin.

edit: This isn't the first time a convict Huckabee had set free went on to kill again.

That's what Levi is for

[Drake Tungsten]

Levi makes Palin look good.

If Mitt had been less of a sniveling liar during the last primary he would have been a decent choice.

Then again, the Repubs are just going to run a sacrificial lamb in '12. No way any smart politician runs against Obama just as economic recovery is hitting full stride.
