Why? What is the reason for the Pardon? They seem guilty as all hell. Yeah, I can understand the families being pissed.

They've already gotten away with what seems like a feeble slap on the wrist and now they get a Pardon?

Yeah I'd imagine the victims are pretty choked.
It sounds like Biden just did a blanket pardon of 1,500 people on house arrest. There is a reasonable chance that he didn't look at the individual situations.

Which isn't an excuse obviously. It actually makes it worse and makes me wonder how many others of those 1,500 shouldn't have been pardoned.

The whole idea of willy nilly pardons is just dumb to begin with. Every individual pardon should have some kind of explanation justifying why it was considered or warranted.

Trump is about to do the same thing with the January 6th insurrectionists. I don't know how many people that will be, but some pretty bad people are probably going to be set free because of it.
