Here's how to catch the shooter

[Geechie]

Pres. Biden: extend him a full pardon if he turns himself in.

And go ahead and pardon all the Thousands of nonviolent marijuana-use convicts while you’re at it … and please FINALLY pardon Leonard Peltier.

1. That would only work for any federal charges

New York would still charge him with murder.

[rsdsharp]

2. Murder is a state crime. Biden can't pardon it, so why would he turn himself in.

[Geechie]

6. Unless the murderer crosses state lines

for the purposes of carrying out the murder. Then it’s federal.

[Celerity]

13. He will face state murder charges no matter what, so your positing is a no go. nt

[Geechie]

15. Oh well...

It was amusing to think about.

[sarisataka]

3. And hope the shooter doesn't realize

Murder is a state crime so Biden’s pardon has no effect on that crime.

[PedroXimenez]

4. Biden should confess to the shooting

and say it was in his duties as president.

[Jack Valentino]

12. I am amazed that he hasn't been accused of it ALREADY...

but he's never been accused of having any proficiency with a firearm

5. Definitely pardon the less than 200 who are in federal prisons for non-violent marijuana use. I'd pardon a bunch more

minor drug traffickers too.

"The number of federal offenders sentenced for simple possession of marijuana is relatively small and has been declining steadily from 2,172 in fiscal year 2014 to only 145 in fiscal year 2021."

10. BIDEN, WHY WON'T YOU DO THESE THINGS?!

Oh, you've already done them?

I guess this is yet another example of Biden pursuing progressive policies and getting absolutely no credit for it.

[Geechie]

14. Then why are there still 10k still in fed prison?

Proclamation or not, they are still prisoners. Also those out of jail still haven’t got their record cleared so they can get a job or VOTE.

Regardless of what Joe Biden did, what’s the holdup?

[Geechie]

16. THIS:

IS what I’m talking about!

7. Raise the Reward to 10 million Monopoly money. And Pardon the Sellers too.

[Geechie]

8. Brilliant!

Agree about the sellers. And home growers.

[Skittles]

11. why should someone who shot someone in the back and killed them get a pardon?

we don't even know why he did it
