Pardon for Sheriff Joe....

Pardon for Sheriff Joe....
Heading out to the grocery store before they get busy but I just wanted to post this link to a liberal site with an inflammatory click bait type headline that details (and provides links to) the atrocities committed by Joe Arpaio. Yes, this is a left leaning site. Far left. I am posting the link because it backs up its claims with links to other sites (some left, some right, some in the middle) If you want to see what has been said about him over the years....I encourage you to check out this article AND follow the links. For those who are all for these tough punishments because "jail is supposed to be punishment" bear in mind that some of these people who were killed or abused....tortured is not too strong of a word....were innocent. The only thing some of them were guilty of is being Hispanic on Sheriff Joe's turf. 

Here is another link...to an article that claims neither side of the debate is working off of facts. It confirms that Arpaio is indeed a despicable human being but that the law he violated was an over reach on the part of the judge who issued it.

And while the letter of the pardon may be legal...the spirit of the pardon is nothing more than a head nod from Trump to his base of supporters...among whom Joe Arpaio was one of the most fervent.
