The Biden Administration fully halted all executions of federal prisoners on Thursday citing an alleged disparate impact perpetuated by the death penalty against people of color.

As The Daily Wire reports:

On Thursday, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland blocked federal executions, writing to his Department of Justice in a memo that the application of the death penalty had exhibited “arbitrariness in its application, disparate impact on people of color.”

Garland wrote:

The Department of Justice must ensure that everyone in the federal criminal justice system is not only afforded the rights guaranteed by the Constitution and laws of the United States, but is also treated fairly and humanely. That obligation has special force in capital cases. Serious concerns have been raised about the continued use of the death penalty across the country, including arbitrariness in its application, disparate impact on people of color, and the troubling number of exonerations in capital and other serious cases. Those weighty concerns deserve careful study and evaluation by lawmakers. In the meantime, the Department must take care to scrupulously maintain our commitment to fairness and humane treatment in the administration of existing federal laws governing capital sentences.

In July 2019, then-Attorney General Bill Barr reinstated capital punishment, asserting, “Congress has expressly authorized the death penalty through legislation adopted by the people’s representatives in both houses of Congress and signed by the President. Under Administrations of both parties, the Department of Justice has sought the death penalty against the worst criminals, including these five murderers, each of whom was convicted by a jury of his peers after a full and fair proceeding.  The Justice Department upholds the rule of law—and we owe it to the victims and their families to carry forward the sentence imposed by our justice system.”

Is the Biden administration bravely fighting racism and discrimination or merely letting violent and evil criminals escape justice? Let us know what you think in the comments below.

    1. What’s color got to do with it? The Bible says that if we shed innocent blood by man shall our blood be shed. The key word is innocent. That doesn’t apply to self defense or service to our country

      1. The Bible is batting a thousand so far. We’re inexorably sliding down the scale of human depravity, greed, violence and dystopian cultures. One aspect of scripture should be regarded by both followers and skeptics: Individuals are granted the freedoms to conduct their lives, make their way in the world and leave a legacy of their time on earth. Liberals are rounding up ignorant rabbles of minorities, women, weirdos and illegal aliens to convince their ilk to force their way into positions they’re neither are qualified to attain, or they simply are more trouble than they’re worth once they gain those positions. Americans in particular should pay attention to what our government is doing to our cultures, our jobs, our borders and our economy. I think the Lord should intervene at some juncture to remove this cabal.

    1. In the early 90s when I was volunteering to build low income housing for very low income people – not one person appreciated it – ever. During the same period, the dems proposed the same issue – we incarcerate a larger percentage of minorities. Yes, in SF and the Bay Area, 95% of the inmates were minority. They were looking for 23-24 of them that had escaped. The Press Democrat in the Santa Rosa area posted their pictures on the front page of the newspaper asking if anyone had seen these criminals at large. We keep giving out welfare and hundreds of social programs – but no incentive to clean up your life – so why not get jailed? The wife and kids are taken care of by the taxpayers, and they all vote for democrats to keep the money coming. Maybe we change welfare and jail for work like sheriff Arpio used to do in AZ. Crime was down and manageable then – except for the bleeding hearts that have no clue what goes on outside their door. America has been dumbed down – think you are free – look again.

    2. In all this article and all the comments that have come after it there is one very important thing left out, not even mentioned. The subject at the heart of all this discussion is the color or race of the people who get the ultimate penalty. Nobody that I can tell has mentioned the victims of these convicted criminals. Does it matter what race the victims were or does anyone care? Do the loved ones, the familys and friends of the victims get to have a say about any of this? I would hope so, but I don’t think Biden or his speech writers have thought about it.

      1. One aspect of this racial emphasis would define my campaign, if I ever decide to seek public office. There are people I call “Hyphenated Citizens”, who preface their nation of residence with a foreign country or region. Somehow, that title bestows upon them a special status, which our government is supposed to consider. If I had the keys to this country, they would ALL be sent to their preferred nation with a One Way ticket.

      1. globalists and globalist puppet, demoncrat criminal party make you libby snow flake sheep act the way you slaves act . . . . .

  1. What happened to EQUAL JUSTICE under our laws? What happened to a fair trial and the results of a verdict from a jury of our peers? How is it possible that one man, no matter his station or status can change our Bill Of Rights? Why are we suddenly living under a despotic government leadership? Will you or someone please explain and answer?

    1. globalists and globalist puppet democrat criminal party and globalist puppet fbi CRIMINAL organisation and globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep . . . . .

  2. Our Marxist president is not only brain dead he is evil. He has been a politician for most of his adult life and that is what we need to change. We need term limits so that we don’t end up with Joe Biden’s in the future.

    1. Charles, I one hundred percent agree with you. Term limits may help, however some of the best may be lost. How about we require that nothing but born again Christians would qualify.

  3. Garland is and always was an idiot. I guess all these Judges around the country are racist too.

  4. Do the crime, pay the fine, irrespective of color, race or ideology. One who murders should be “reimbursed” the same way.

  5. What the libs are saying is we can’t execute a black person unless we execute a white person. Or we can’t suspend a black kid from high school unless we also suspend a white person. This is complete racism under the guise of fighting racism. Why is black on white rape like 100 times more common than white on black rape? I don’t know, but it certainly doesn’t mean we need to let all the black rapists go, does it? Statistics don’t necessarily prove racism, they just reflect what’s going on in our society for many different reasons. We need to get away from historical this and society that and specifically talk about what criminal is being mistreated by the justice system. If someone’s on death row and doesn’t deserve to be there then let’s hear about it. But saying you committed some horrific crime but we can’t execute you because we don’t have someone of another race who did something similar to execute is liberal nonsense.

    1. The tax laws have a “disparate impact” on white people who work for a living. Let’s give them an exemption based on their race. (Sarc)

  6. Of course Biden would halt duly litigated and processed criminals convicted by the laws within the states and the US Constitution, citing such, to do harm to the general public by his lack of concern for the general public as was his behavior during Antifa and BLM riots and murders of innocent people for votes!

    1. All the criminals voted a hundred times for globalist puppet, chester the molester biden, even you libby snow flake sheep, moderators .

  7. The Fort Hood shooter
    The jihadist sergeant who shot up the 101st airborne base camp in Kuwait
    Khalid Sheik Mohammed

    ’nuff said

  8. So if we’re basing a stay of executions on a “disparate imoact” against people of color, why are we not doing the same with abortion which kills proportionately more black babies than whites?

  9. Is this idiot intimating that more blacks commit murder than white people? It reads that way, but then Joe has a cognizant problem. While he’s at it maybe he can halt all the murders also.

  10. Murder is murder, you senile bastard, they don’t give the death penalty for shoplifting. Who gives a shit what color the murderers are?!!

  11. Unfortunately, the statement is true, there is a disparate impact on people of color! However, as has been stated many, many times, there are more murders committed by people of color; just take a look at the statistics. I happen to believe that execution, as punishment for murder, no matter how hideous, is both a deterrent and justified. After all, that guilty person took another’s life unexpectedly. Yes, this a controversial subject but one that must be faced head on.

  12. Equity is no reflection of justice or fairness or right thinking. It is clearly an artificial and distinctly unfair advantage to any situation where it is applied.

    1. Put them on a life raft and tell them bye bye. And don’t forget to tie bloody pork chops on to float in the water

  13. Anyone else sick and tired of virtually everything being about race? If you’ve been convicted of a crime so horrendous that a death penalty has been given by a jury what difference does your race make?

    1. Cultural Marxism is a process that extends for years–even decades–to condition a population to look toward the government to “Level Playing Fields” and orchestrate “Equality”. What those people discover is that their votes install regimes that oppress ALL citizens, and ensure the leadership is heavily guarded from both public protests against their tyranny, and physical threats against them or their families. You might recall what happened in Washington during Numb Nuts’ Coronation. The recent school board meeting melee is also a prominent example. A more articulate description of this process was published by none other than Winston Churchill, who described the Bolsheviks.

  14. Joe Biden is the biggest racist that has ever held office. During his stint as senator he co-authored crime bills that imprisoned tens of thousands of minorities for drug offenses. When asked by President Trump during the 2020 debate about his past racist crime bills all Joe Biden could say is that he made a mistake. He had three decades to correct his mistake and did nothing. That speaks volumes. Why doesn’t he use his pardon power to remove those conviction from their records?

  15. Another very bad decision. And another strike against states rights. But you have to give Biden high marks on consistency. Though being consistently wrong is not what we need in leadership.

    1. globalist puppet, chester the molester has consistently preached globalist agendas for 47+ years .

  16. The death penalty should not be abolished but should be reserved for those in which they are plainly guilty 100% with a preponderance of evidence. The perpetrator should suffer the same exact fate as the victim. I will gladly volunteer to carry out such a sentence. Society should not have to pay twice; once by the victim and then by everyone else to house the perpetrator who may escape or be released and then commit another crime.

    1. Agree 100%. Those convicts should have limits on the number of appeal actions and time limits to conduct their appeals. Some of these murderers outlive the surviving family members of their victims! The sole beneficiaries of this process are lawyers, who can make a career out of a single murder conviction. (Not only a legal career, but many of them clean up on book deals, television and movie contracts.)

  17. Has it not occurred to you libs that they might commit more capital crimes ? The disparity is in your narrative you shit for brains snowflakes

    1. globalist puppet, libby snow flake sheep are so stupid that they imagine that they are only killing conservatives . . . . .

  18. Wouldn’t child molestation also be considered one of the worst crimes? Those who commit these crimes, in my opinion, should also be seen as murderers of the human spirit. I believe in the death penalty for those found guilty of these types of crimes despite the fact that I am a devout Christian.

    1. Keep globalist puppet, chester the molester biden AND libby snow flake sheep, children molested by globalist puppet, chester the molester biden out of this .

  19. The Biden administration doesn’t know their ass from a hole in the ground about appropriately governing our great nation!
    By dropping the execution of vile individuals who have been throughly tried and judged to be guilty, this administration has shown ONCE AGAIN in the scant few months they have governed, that they are the lapdogs of dysfunctional liberals and socialist/ communist determined to —- bring down America.

    1. globalists and globalist puppet democrat criminal party rely on globalist voter fraud and libby snow flake sheep and libby snow flake sheep criminals for votes .

  20. LISTEN UP…GOD Believes in CAPITOL PUNISHMENT/DEATH PENALTY. It is WRITTEN in the OLD TESTAMENT. GOD Has HIS REASONS. It is NOT Too HARD to FIGURE OUT WHY. From SamuraiQueen. 😄😄😄

  21. Wait, so all the white people waiting to get executed is OK. This man (Joe ) is mentally in capable of decisions ( we all know it’s not him making these decisions) this is out right racism. I believe in the death penalty for all who kill another person (no matter what color the person is).

    1. impeach globalist puppet, chester the molester bidne and replace him with globalist puppet harris and F you libby snow flake sheep, moderators .

  22. Isn’t that interesting? I mean, he’s all for Abortions, and the bulk of those killings are of unborn “Children of Color”. Indeed, those victims never committed a crime! I imagine Numb Nuts is greasing the legal system for more ‘action’ (AKA ‘Money’..) After all, he is a lawyer.

      1. Sanger worked with black leaders and church officials to promote birth control. She supposedly was not in favor of abortions, but that particular cat came out of the bag of her campaigns. In other words, the Law of Unintended Consequences was validated once more.

  23. Typical WILLFULLY IGNORANT LIBERAL move. Instead of working to make criminals HATE prison Democraps do everything they can to make it easy on Criminals.

  24. He’s consistent. This brain dead moron has not done one thing yet that helps a single middle class American. Not One Damn Thing!

  25. It is a travesty against all that is decent and fair. After all, how concerned were these murdersers for the right to life of their victims and their loved ones?

  26. This is just one more racist excuse by the left wing lunatics. If your on death row, you got yourself there, and I dont give a damn what color you are. We are supposed to be a nation of laws, but Biden wants to play God and hes going to overthrow any law he doesn’t like. I’d say impeach him, but Harris is just another nightmare waiting in the wings.

    1. I’m all for Death Row inmates having their best shot at either convincing officials to commute their sentences, or to conduct a retrial. Unless people have had those doors slammed on their freedom, and by extension, their LIFE, one shouldn’t be so adamant about the carrying out of executions. However, if you’ve dealt with the criminal element, as I have, you’ll know some of those people should be put down.

  27. This garland is the LAST person to be head of DOJ!!! I SWEAR, he’s acting just like a NAZI!!! biden/harris COMMUNIST REGIME & APPOINTEES, are GUILTY OF MANY CRIMES, WHY??? WHY WHEN IT COMES RIGHT DOWN TO IT, democrats get a FREE RIDE, even the blm RIOTERS get a FREE RIDE!!! DOUBLE STANDARDS, NO TRANSPARENCY, LIARS, DECEIVERS, PUT AMERICA LAST, PUT AMERICANS LAST, PUT china FIRST!!! biden, you are a DEMENTED, LYING, COWARD, & you have already caused MAJOR DAMAGE TO AMERICA AND AMERICANS!!! #46 NEEDS TO BE IMPEACHED!!!

    1. Set all inmates free like the globalists and globalist puppet, demoncrat criminal party they vote for .

  28. I am so sick of people of color injustice were is the out cry for the discrimination on white and other colors unjust against rich and poor lawyers that represent the rich get breaks but poor of all color that can’t afford a private attorney get screwed over we need better laws against lying state attorneys and officers that lie and dumb ass judges that can’t tell the difference start there on changes

  29. More people of color committing crimes, hence more people of color in prison and more on death row! What’s not to understand!

    1. That those more people of color committing crimes and more people of color in prison and on death row are libby snow flake sheep that vote democrat criminal party, just like libby snow flake sheep, moderators .

  30. We need a disparate impact against Biden and his so called administration. They need to leave and let someone else in to run our country with a modicum of sanity!

    1. The majority of other countries are also led by globalist puppets like globalist puppet, chester the molester biden . F you libby snow flake sheep moderators .

  31. Black crime on white people. In the last several years 500 thousand Half a million white people are victims of BLACK people each year, murdered, stabbed, raped etc. In 2021 those figures are expected to go up. VS. 59 thousand white on blacks.

  32. ” BUBBLEHEAD” AT IT AGAIN, sticking his nose in where it does not belong! THE LAW IS THE LAW AND BUBBLE HEAD CANNOT CHANGE IT! SENTENCES WERE ADMINISTRATED HERE TO BE CARRIED OUT ACORDING TO THE COURTS NOT THIS IDIOT!

  33. Soon the puppet of the Devil will fade into history only to be replaced by something much worse. Tribal warfare is a tradition in some savage cultures. Ayn Rand figured it out.

  34. The simple truth is that both the CHEATER criminal Democrat Mob leadership and Cheater Joe Biden have created a “national crime empire from coast to coast and nobody is not getting their asses thrown in jail for the crimes they commit against we, the American people”!!Law and order is dead in our America for them all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  35. Just in case there’s any doubt at all, this makes is plain that Joe Biden is a hard-over racist. He doesn’t seem to care about a person’s guilt or actually what the person did, he cares ONLY about the person’s race. Biden is the worst racist president we’ve had (except Barack Obama, of course).

  36. I personally think the death penalty is a violation of ther only thing supposedly written by GOD, the Commandments, which says thou shall not kill. Now proven fact through every investigation ever done on the subject, that other than white are most likely to be found guilty of crimes than whites and those same other then white, get harsher sentences.
    So in my opinion no death penalty should ever exist, and that would be a huge monetary savings to everyone. It costa almost 3 times as much to execute a 30 year or older person than it does to keep them in a prison the rest of their lives, and if that was the case the people who have been executed and now evidence proves them innocent would still be alive.

    1. chester the molester biden is as fit to be president as libby snow flake sheep are fit to be moderators .

  37. Biden is only following instructions given to him by those who are pulling his strings. The reason they instructed this obviously unpopular course of action is to create distraction from whatever it is they are doing that they do not want any witnesses or scrutiny to interfere with. Slight of hand. They do not give a twit about who does or does not get the death penalty. All they want is to creat a loud noise and bright light to grab everyone’s attention while they pull the wool over the eyes of anyone who should be paying attention to what is really going on. What the people of America need, I think, is news journalists who can see this and ignore the distraction while finding out and disclosing to the nation whatever it is creepy Joe’s minders are hiding from us. I could be all wrong about this, I have been wrong before, but more often the that is the number of times Bidens controllers have tried to lie to America. If nothing else, they are persistent.

  38. I’m amazed!! Biteme is the most incompetent person to ever occupy the White House. I keep thinking I’m in the middle of a bad nightmare, son I’ll awaken and President Trump will still be holding the reigns, nightmare over.

  39. Think Biden low life Racist against white peoples And should be impeached and remove from in any way shape or form , letting criminals out of prison to harm people of the United state

  40. Yet another STUPID move by the Obiden administration! I suppose they will continue to try destroying America until they are removed from office.

  41. I know leftists see racists under every rock and around every corner but Biden is taking this to a new extreme.

  42. Can somebody please tell me why my comment is STILL waiting for approval, it’s from yesterday. Is free speech nul and void now with you guy’s??? BULLSHIT

    1. We are always waiting for approval because we tell the truth and hurt libby snow flake sheep, moderators little feelings .

  43. We always knew Garland was crooked, but little did we realize just HOW crooked he is! Republicans should be checking CLOSELY into his actions, so that he may be prosecuted after the 2024 election.

  44. This is all the dems have, they exploit covid, they exploit 1/6, they continually state that White supremacists are domestic TERRORISTS and a threat to all of AMERICA, and of course they are WRONG!!! IT’S THE black supremacists that are a threat, they’ve done so much damage, they’ve killed, they’ve severely injured people, and they are getting away with felonies. There’s a capital cop getting away with MURDERING ASHLI BABBETT??? SO pedo joe, what says you???

  45. If ANYONE wondered whether Joe Biden and the Democrat administration are indeed hard-over racists, this is the proof!! They don’t care a whit about what these monsters have done to people, but ONLY about their race!! Democrats are RACISTS! Democrats are RACISTS!! All true Americans should say that twenty time a day for the next three years. Then they will be ready to vote for the next American president.

  46. Biden is just making himself and all democrats lol good in front of people of color because of the 2022 elections are coming soon. We all know how serious violent criminals under death sentences are truly guilty in our courts today and in the recent past to…

  47. If an individual murders another in this country, and the penalty for committing that crime is death, carrying out that sentence has nothing to do with race. You commit the crime, you
    pay the penalty. Sounds pretty simple to me. But Sneaky Joe is now running the show.
    What’s sad is that he actually thinks none of us can see what a sleazy con artist he is.

  48. biden is a moron. The amount of crime perpetrated by the blacks is also disparate.
    13% of the population, 5% adult men, and committing 50% of America’s crime. Numbers speak.

  49. Either they committed the crimes or not and if a jury handed the verdict down it should be carried out regardless of the perpetrators skin color. Tired of everything being about race with this regime’s clowns!

  50. THE ONLY REASON (BOTTOM LINE) FOR THIS STOPPING OF EXECUTIONS IS A LAME DEMENTED BIDEN AGENDA TO SECURE THE DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO BUYING/ BEGGING FOR THE BLACK VOTE. THIS INEPT FOOL AND HIS SOCIALIST PROGRESSIVE PARTY HAS TOTALLY DISREGARDED THE LIFE RIPPING AGONY OF THE VICTIMS FAMILIES THAT WERE CAUSED BY THESE ANIMALS !!!!!!!!! This move by the sick bastard Biden MAKES THIS LOOK LIKE THE ••• MURDERING SCUM •••• IS THE VICTIM 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 !!!!!!! I’M ONE OF THE REAL VICTIMS HERE — MY DAD WAS MURDERED VICIOUSLY BACK IN THE 80’s AND THE STATE DECIDED TO SET A NUMBER FOR A MURDERER’s IQ TO ESTABLISH IF THEY WERE CONSIDERED STABLE ENOUGH TO EXECUTE— PREMEDITATED MURDER (PLANNED WITH ADVANCED KNOWLEDGE OF COMMITTING MURDER) — GUESS WHAT- THIS MURDERING DOG FELL ••ONE •• POINT BELOW THAT NUMBER- THAT F’ing ANIMAL IS STILL SITTING ON DEATH ROW TILL THIS DAY !!!!! (NOT TO MENTION ME AND MY FAMILY ARE FINANCIALLY KEEPING THE BASTARD UP WITH OUR TAX MONEY!!! ) NO CLOSURE FOR MY FAMILY !!! PEOPLE LIKE THIS FOOL BIDEN AND THOSE LIKE HIM ARE GOING TO BE THE END OF OUR COUNTRY AS WE KNOW IT . EDUCATE YOUR CHILDREN AND ••GRANDKIDS ••• NOW !!!!! UNLESS YOU WANT THESE LUNATIC COMMUNIST PROGRESSIVES IN YOUR SCHOOL SYSTEM BRAINWASHING THEM . DON’T WASTE TIME !!!

  51. To be sentenced to death you have committed a crime that requires it. That isn’t racism and neither is 99.9% of what democrats call racism

  52. WHAT A JOKE, ARE WE GOING TO MAKE A STATUE OF EACH ONE. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO KILLED, RAPED, AND MANY OTHER THINGS.

  53. The disparate impact we all see in the news is which group is committing the most crime against which group – the majority of violent crimes are committed by blacks against other blacks., followed by other “people of color” against their own as well. If the black lives matter movement were genuine, it would be focused on combating black criminals instead of against the police trying to “serve and protect” the innocent. No, BLM uses incidents of dangerous, combative, most times repeat criminals having to be taken down or taken out by force and glorifying them as victims of excessive force to inflame the uninformed among the public to promote anarchy.

  54. What a dumbass look what he doing to us killing us with that covid 19 vaccination.Bidden
    not my President!

  55. He send out extended checks but some people supposed to be on with child support how they supposed to live if it all goes to the child support office

  56. The left is so obsessed with gender and color that they are blind to truth and justice. Garland would have been a disaster on the Supreme Court and America dodged a bullet when his nomination was rejected, so now he will punish us for his failure to be chosen for the high court.

  57. Let’s look at Chicago, for example, Now with standing Lightfoots (or is it Lighthead) assertation that killings have gone down in Chicago (or what ever lie she is telling), the vast majority of killings is blacks killing blacks. Now I wounder why there are more blacks on death row…hum, lets think. OH, hell, maybe because blacks kill more people than whites in Chicago. Just making an observation here. Me I think we should even that disparity and put Garland on death row. Good idea huh?

  58. So can you at least keep executing the white criminals until they catch up to the magical congruent levels as determined by the great minds on the left that come up with this stuff??? So keep killing bad guys that deserve it but do so somehow by skin color so we don’t do anything to offend the equity of murderers.

    How much drug abuse must you participate in before you think like this, because I indulged in college a little too much but not in my wildest of obscure thoughts could I ever create such a diseased plan or rationale. Of course I am not suffering from dementia so that probably helps.

  59. The problem id not with the use of the death penalty the problem is the years and sometimes decades of delay between commission of the crime and the execution of the perpetrator. the old adage applies in these cases . . . . . JUSTICE DELAYED is JUSTICE DENIED once the killer is convicted there should be a date set for the execution and it should not be changed unless the man appeals and the conviction is reversed before the date of execution.
