Governor Hickenlooper’s political team has been floating trial balloons recently, testing out the idea of granting clemency to convicted mass murderer Nathan Dunlap, who killed four people at Chuck E. Cheese in Aurora, including three teenage kids.
The latest hint came in the form of two tweets from Hick’s long-time Chief of Staff, Roxanne White.
Reports The Colorado Observer‘s Valerie Richardson:
CENTENNIAL – A judge set the execution week for Death Row inmate Nathan Dunlap at a Wednesday hearing, but there was also some good news for the convicted mass murderer.
Roxane White, chief of staff for Gov. John Hickenlooper, sent two messages on her Twitter account Wednesday that would seem to portend well for Dunlap’s chances of escaping the executioner.
“At the hearing to set the execution date for Nathan Dunlap. There has to be a more humane path,” said White in one tweet, which she also sent via a hashtag to the Colorado legislature feed.
A few hours earlier, she tweeted: “CO has three on death row. All from same judicial dist, all African American men from the same high school.”
White’s race-baiting, while not surprising coming from someone on the left, has been directly refuted by African-American Democratic Rep. Rhonda Fields’ daughter, Maisha Fields, in a legislative hearing about repealing the death penalty.
The two killers of Maisha’s brother, Javad, both now sit on death row.
As KDVR‘s Eli Stokols reported last month:
“They were found guilty not erroneously, not because they were black, not because of their age, but because of their choices,” said Fields, pushing back at the bill sponsor, Rep. Jovan Melton, D-Aurora, who cited statistics showing that the bill is disproportionately applied to black defendants.
No, Roxanne, Nathan Dunlap was not given the death penalty because he is black, but because he brutally murdered four people in cold blood.
With 69% of Coloradans opposed to overturning the death penalty in the case of Nathan Dunlap, it has to make you wonder what’s going on at the Governor’s mansion.
Has Hick’s staff convinced him to make another hard shift to the left? Is the tail wagging the dog again?
Should have already been killed, we are taking way too long to do what has been judged on already!
Gerald Knowles is a "Know" nothing douche bag.
Douche.
weirdo
freak
You have no credibility when you say "not surprising coming from the left". smacks of ignorance and stupidity. let the facts stand for themselves. not your selfish politics. essentially, your whored out these poor children that died so you could make a conservative vs. liberal statement. scumbag
Be wise in what you say! What you said about killing people isn't wise! Hick may come after you! Suggest that you edit your comment!!!!!
Well said! By the way, why isn't the high school being investigated for criminal conspiracy? What are they teaching their? Get your kids out of public schools like this! The kids are not safe! Way to go liberal's!
Isn't it time to impeach this hypocrite? Didn't he use a gun to kill those people? Typical liberal thinking!
WELL said, 'Chelle, well said!!….:-)
Don't insult us – we might stage a sit-in
Hick, you are a lying, communist, murderer loving, hypocrite, low life! You people are destroying this state. You and your ilk are contemptible and a waste of skin. I hope the next victim of your liberal criminal coddling policies is you or someone you care for. Karma is a bitch and may she find your weasel ass!
Very sad. They spin such stories such as this and leave out statistics that show the whole story. Who cares if the three on death row are from the same high school, it seems to me there are studies on demographics, geography and social economic facts that play a part in it as well- not just skin color. If you want to address issues, don't make it about race, make it about the root of the problem. NO matter what the race, if you do the crime you follow the law. Something is wrong if in his photo he is smiling ear to ear- I bet the families of the teenagers aren't. Nothing will bring them back, but not holding someone fully accountable to the fullest extent of the law for political reasons and using race as a reason- does not make you human or a hero. It makes you a coward and unwilling to stand up for what is right- too worried about political fodor and not about ethics and personal responsibility. Shame on you Hickenlooper.
Agree with you Simon…breaks my heart what's going on here
BULLSHIT!
The dude killed four people. The law says he should die RESPECT the law
sad to see the most beautiful state in the Union be taken over politically and appaertntly socially by spinelss, pinko, liberals….
