Attorney General Barr directs the US government to resume capital punishment after nearly 20 years and orders the execution of five death row inmates

After 16 years without an execution, Barr has directed the head of the Bureau of Prisons to execute"five death-row inmates convicted of murdering, and in some cases torturing and raping, the most vulnerable in our society — children and the elderly" in December and January, according to a statement from the Department of Justice.

Read More"Saying that you are going to adopt a protocol is not the same thing as having a protocol properly adopted through the required administrative procedures," said Robert Dunham, the executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, a group that has been critical of how the penalty is administered."You can't just say it and have it happen. There is a legal process for a protocol to go into effect and there is a legal process for challenging the protocol.

Sad day!

Wow🙏🏿 What’s next?

It seems like each way leaders try to improve our society, oneanddonetrump tears it apart and sets us back.

The media doesn't fear him - they show total disrespect, ignorance and fuck-U attitude

Idk, I see a lot of happy faces at Trump rallies, not too many on skid row in Downtown LA

Hey GavinNewsom -step on any human feces or dirty needles lately in LA or SF? You have typhus cases in these areas-TYPHUS. Clean up your own messes before you worry about what anyone else is doing WalkAwayFromDemocrats

No, his opponents are trying to force their wishes upon others, using anger and violence. Trump is being his boisterous, colorful self. The fact that Americans chose him as the lesser of two evils, shows how frustrated we are with career politicians, and their forced agendas.

just in time for the treason hangings

society has gotten too soft on crime..... murders and rapists... repeated violent crimes....the punishment is too soft.. why do they get to live and all their victims did not..

If this governor follows rule of law then he would stop illegal immigration

The Governor of California? Why not address your skyrocketing homelessness, or why you can complete your high speed rail? Gavin you should resign immediately.

Yet these two are okay with killing babies

Hey Gavin let’s worry more about all the innocent babies who are being aborted late term !!!!

Put in an express lane and use the firing squad. It's quick.

GavinNewsom California is turning into a an over taxed disaster!!

Newsom is not well thought of out here in California. He likes to tax, tax, tax and turn the state into Venezuela. If you are a citizen in California, you are automatically a 2nd class citizen. Illegals have more rights. CNN is fake news

BULLCRAPPOLA

Just back from California , what a homeless shithole.....something is very wrong there!

So you WANT 5 molesters/murderers to be allowed to live?

This from a man that believes anyone who murders someone should be set free. Get ready to be recalled you clown

Your a mess Newsome!

This from the party of post birth abortion

Great!!! Finally!

But, the Russians are coming, right, andersoncooper?

The same people who promote killing unborn innocent human beings are upset with realDonaldTrump reinstating the DeathPenalty for murderers! Typical liberal Hypocrites!

Actually he seems to be having a good time and laughing at all of you...

Omg clean up your filthy rat typhoid infested city you are shameless.

I have only heard democrats attempting to use fear and anger over Trump being president. You people are sick.

Oh gosh, we are listening to a Governor who’s STATE is ass backwards? Anderson, you are better than this !

GavinNewsom please retire and go away

Newsome has probably read the bio on these 5 duechebags scheduled for execution but still doesnt care.

Blah blah blah.... KAG2020 TRUMP2020 GETUSETOIT

Don't you get tired of of trying to destroy this country?

You guys worried about something? They only hang traitors murderers capital crimes spies those who try to over throw governments people who are responsible for killing others in the commission of a crime

It’s all Trumps fault, California is doing great plague California

Be afraid demwitts, be very afraid

This is a President that has gotten up everyday that he was being abused to create a better America than we have seen in our lifetime. Barr is investigating the investigators /abusers

Meanwhile, the death penalty is allowed in California.

So who’s gonna pay for more prisons to keep them there GOOD LUCK for federal aid IDIOTS

The only people angry and scared are the liberals

Gavin, what a name, snowflake... train wreck is the word 4 u..

Careful boys, the storm is coming! Don't get caught up in it.

Paving the road to Treason charges... Trump Tactics 101 IE Enforcing Federal Law with Respect to Transnational Criminal Organizations and Preventing International Trafficking Have a Nice Day! QAnon

Democrat ran California. GavinNewsom tedlieu Pelosi DNC Democrats Homeless DACA Illegals — Why is liberal California the poverty capital of America? … … …

This CNN employee is celebrating the deaths of Israeli Jews. Time for this antisemite to be on unemployment.

The more cruel this administration is, the more the base applauds.

Expect disarray when u elect a corrupt coward as president.

For real tho, California is turning into a big tent city and everyone is pretending it isn’t happening.

Gavin’s not wrong.

GavinNewsom is a clown. He cares more for the murderers in his state than the victims.

Does he feel God like? He is not above God nor the law. Shame on him!

He has done this to scare us!

The gets two thumbs up for this Great JOB AG Bar

Attorney general Barr should be executed for falsified info on trump! Hang him in DuPont circle with trump and his wife! Just like Mussolini

How come it seems that mass murderers never get executed? I'm just saying, if you want to send a message, they should be the first to go.

Republicans = the Party of death

BloodThirst

He may regret this decision!

Great news, they've exhausted their appeals in court!!! They destroy other families lives....now it's their time to PAY.

How does he live with himself?

PRO LIFE!

The headline didn’t read that all 5 were convicted of raping, torturing, and/or murdering either the elderly or children, did it? Not sure THAT’s the hill anyone wants to die on.

Can he do that? I thought it was each state that decided the death penalty, but I could be wrong about that.

Doesn't treason require the death penalty.

About time!!!

Must be Democrats

Good and it's about time

dakinandone Finally, a CNN story that I agree with.

DrainTheTrumpSwamp

Fight yeah

Public hanging for Drumpf please!

Yo

Our tax dollars at work.

That’s what we call civilised. Just like China and other dictatorships.

About time! Sitting in a jail cell burning up taxpayers money

50 years ago the landing on the moon was a giant step for mankind, today is a big step backwards in American civilization

So much for “Right to Life”.

Sept 1, 2019 New York This protest Is Happening

You need to make sure through DNA that allthese people did what they are going to die for. Too make innocent have been put to death in theist.

Is there a death penalty for being a traitor?

Has trump outsourced the executions?

ONCE TRUMO IS OUT BARR MUST ALSO GO ,,eos/10212927704487765/?notif_id=1545249179671897&notif_t=video_processed

CrackerALS Love Barr, he’s a god send..

You are ready for the sharia?

AntiTrumpReport They're getting ready to legally murder Resistors and Immigrants

Got to execute some horrible people so Trump and tell the stories of their crimes and feed the red meat to his base.

Bravo. They taking up space.

What's fake pres morons evangelicals think about this.

saps GovernmentZA MmusiMaimane CyrilRamaphosa AsktheChiefJMPD MichaelSun168 MbalulaFikile ecr9495 947 Radio702

So much for being Pro Life!

That’s what “Christian” nations do, right? Pro-life hypocrites.

Hmmm ... guess Trump’s in even bigger trouble 🤣

So will American Traitors be executed? Asking for a former president!

Republicans must be so proud of this just more evidence of their inhumanity

Im sure the next step is to apply death penalty to illegal immigrants.

Because Liberal Democrats keep promoting CRIMINALS

Liberal hair on fire hysterical meltdown in 3...2...1.....

Sounds like a trumpie tantrum directive since he can’t get mueller or the squad!!!

There is a difference in wanting to save the life of an innocent baby and being ok with the death of someone who has taken the life of someone innocent. Right?! You see the difference, right?!

Distraction

The Islamic law(Sharia) imposes death penalty in premeditated brutal crimes that takes people’s lives no matter what the motive is,, only families of the victims can have the final decision if they want penalty for the criminals goes on or stopped & instead ask for blood money

This is disgusting.

Oh Boy, How far up Trumps ass are these people willing to go?

How is it that Republicans don’t like abortions yet they are ok with execution? Life is life. Right?

How many innocents have to die before we permanently do away with the DeathPenalty ?

You know death is the penalty for treason. Perhaps you abd Trump may one day find that out for real

About time....crank it up.

Horrible

Why is Elton John in this picture?

Trump is the one they should start with

Has he no heart?

I don’t get this. How do these ppl say abortion is killing of a life while in the same breath being pro execution?

AG Barr has put orders in to the Bayer pharmaceutical company (AG Farben, Bayer parent co) for their product Zyklon B gas to be used in camps to help migrants concentrate on the errors of their ways.

Man this guy either already has a deal with the devil or is hedging his bets when he meets him in person. Must be like Rudy, didn’t save enough to retire.

I can’t for the life of me understand how people who clam to be pro-life can be in favor of the death penalty. Talk about being hypocrites.

What color and ethnicity are these five, Mr Barr? Why now?

Good! Now Treason is a Death Penalty case right?

Who is orchestrating all this chaos...it’s coordinated! It’s got to be Christian religious zealots!!

DIVERSION FOR TRUMP 🔥😈🔥😈🔥😈🔥😈🔥😈🔥🔥 BARR IS DONALD’s ACCOMPLICE

dakinandone Take a look at what these 5 people did. Our only regret should be we waited this long to kill them. Justice should be swift especially to those that denied it to others.

Because the justice system isn't completely fucked, right? Barr will be approving live executions next...

Pro Life christians....clap clap

This is probably a Trump re-election plot knowing that majority of WHITE Americans are for the death penalty. Majority of Californians had voted for death penalty to resume and current democratic governor won't execute anyone.

WTIUSA Oh wonderful. A step back into a more uncivilized time. Next we’ll start lopping off the hands of shoplifters. We are garenteed to kill even more innocent men now. Disgraceful proposition.

This is a pro life AG!Life only maters if it’s a fetus because that keeps the Christian base riled up.Kids in cages, brown lives, black lives death row lives? Expendable to this your eyes! It won’t be long before it’s you they don’t like

Barr now has dirty hands, he has to live with it.

What about long sentences for white collar criminals? This must also be done.

deloreshandy The MAGA people have demanded a blood sacrifice

This is for show and it is horrifying. Next stop: town square hangings. We’re so fu**ked right now.

Good

A court jury and judge ordered the penalty, Barr simply seconded the motion.

Abouttime

This is Trump making Dems chase themselves all over the place again. Watch how this becomes a big part of the Dem debates...FOCUS!

All live matter?

Of course... we are going backwards

If there is a hell, there's a special place in it for this man.

Wanna Thank U!!!

The for profit prisons will be mad!

This AG is as nuts as trump.He lies under oath about the Mueller Report,and then threatens him before the I living in He US because it sure feels like Russia.

The so-called pro life Christians must be overjoyed 😔

So much for all life is sacred...

America must be one of the most awful places in the world to live in now

Are they going to use ovens

We have to stop housing and supporting these killers and rapest who have committed terrible crimes against people.

Circus Merica

So why hasn’t CNN paraded the Three Stooges to comment on the glorious victory of Bob Mueller 🤔FoxNews ABC CBSNews NBCNews Morning_Joe morningmika JoeNBC jaketapper BrookeBCNN wolfblitzer JohnKingCNN andersoncooper realDonaldTrump DonaldJTrumpJr GStephanopoulos

They want to execute 5 child murderers let’s see who is upset

It's like a game of chess, what happened yesterday he didn't like even though he 'won' so today it's his turn.

I’m confused, thought you were all pro life?

I thought these people were pro-life! Oh, wait...they’re pro-birth in other words they’re pro- the women have to do as we say! The hypocrisy is ridicules!

The 5 inmates who raped,tortured and murdered a child

Ah. His real intent is to create more jobs for lawyers. Imagine the lawsuits that will ensue

can trump be first ?

This has gotten serious INDIVIDUAL1 INDIVIDUAL2

Maybe barr and trump could be the first to be executed

These people are human sacrifices to rump's re-election campaign. The 'pro life' hypocrites are gonna eat this up!

They should do it publicly. Got my support 💯

Can they start with Trump

ProLifeDeathPenalty

People actually comparing this to abortion. One is an innocent life. The other is a life wasted.

Barr should be the first one on death row.

Good, another way to save federal tax dollars.

Get them off our dime

Pro lifers stand up. Oh yeah!

Eye for an eye

What information do they have that they have to be killed

Mr Miserable (Barr) has sold his soul.

Democrats: let’s let felons vote. Barr: hold my beer.

Yaaaaay! Progress.

Dictatorship 101 realDonaldTrump

A list of Federal Death Row inmates. Which of these people's continued existence at taxpayer expense makes the world a better place. Note the that were already in prison when they killed someone.

does he personally kill his thanksgiving turkey?

He does not have the moral authority to do such a thing

LeichtLunch The downward spiral continues...

Billy Graham jr. Jerry Falwell I'm going to be pissed

THANK YOU.... About frk'n time... Fast track'm all.

Another evil man in our midst... where is democracy?!?

What a guy.

This is wrong. As a Christian I oppose this. This does not give the offender the lifetime they should have to repent and change. Yes, I see the irony. Also, a mistake in penalty is the worst kind of travesty. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Of course he did.

start with trump and TREASON

ImpeachBarrandtrump

So typical....can’t kill babies (cells?) but can kill prisoners. Ok evangelicals.....are you going to stand up to the administration on this?

Barr and his cronies are savages.

damit wird Platz geschaffen für die Trump Polit Mafia

Feel free to remember this as the moment that the racist republican regime fired up the ovens and we stood by and did nothing. Impeach realDonaldTrump now and end this terrorist organization!

Clean the dust off the chair!!

Interesting how many people support infanticide, but are against the death penalty. There is ample evidence that the courts have convicted innocent people and that is reason enough to end the death penalty. Abortion is the death penalty for the innocent. StoptheKilling

Capital punishment is the correct answer to all crime

Of course he did.

Pro life. Pro children. Pro smaller Govt. Pro state’s rights. Evangelicals really give significance to the words of jesus.

Preparing for Hillary, Obama, Comey, Brennan, Clapper etc.

So his good friend Mueller made a liar out of him yesterday, and today he pulls out his power. Politics.😈

That upper lip is very telling of similar countenance with senatemajldr

Another step toward the Gulag

This seems like a red-herring. Let’s distract from the other hot topics of the hour...

Ban abortions but kill an adult. Well maybe he was brought up in a broken life and should have been aborted.

Isn’t treason punishable by death? Asking for a friend...

Good

ProLife huh? 🤔

Just like Jesus taught us.

What is going on? That country is messed.

I though GOP were pro life? I guess just pro-birth...

Barr = one sick bastard with far to much power!

Who pi$$ed in his Corn Flakes this morning?

We instead of releasing the likes of the first ones released this year.

This is a very big squirrel.

Nasty little man. How much more harm can he do? Probably deliberating on that plan as we speak.

I guess the right to life begins at conception and ends at birth

Long overdue.

Can I help? Can I, can I? Please

I'm unsure why this is a problem. It's right there in the Constitution.

Wtf?

GOOD

God bless AG Barr. Let's dispense justice for the victims and their families by swiftly executing these pieces of garbage.

discipline and punish … crowd goes wild … red hats remember the vigor and vision they forgot.

Awesome, eye 4 an eye!

Sociopaths.

More good Christian behavior So much for 'Thou shalt not kill'. Death penalty is equal to conspiracy to commit murder by the state no better than the murderer. You shall know God's people by their actions & these are definitely not God's people. HYPOCHRISTIANS !!! 😠

👏👏👏👏

I wish I had enough money to get the hell out of the United States of Hillbillies. I’m ready to move and I’m proud of it 👍

Is this part of Jarred's criminal justice reform?

good. return to normal

Let me guess, they are all Democrats?

Start with the orange menace just a trial run

Is it going to be the gas chamber? This administration is insane... the lot of them.
