I feel that it’s the president’s prerogative to pardon whomever he needs to pardon. That’s as much as the president.
I favor the pardon system … It ought for use to forgive and to offer a second probability. So in the event you go a case-by-case foundation, you have a look at all of these individuals, some individuals could have gotten caught up within the feelings and perhaps a pardon for them can be okay.
However in the event you’re utilizing the American flag, plunging it on the enforcement officers, you may have injured a legislation enforcement officer and also you’re spraying regardless of the stuff was they had been spraying on individuals, these individuals shouldn’t be pardoned.
And so sure, go case-by-case after which perhaps some individuals received caught up and provides them a pardon, however a blanket pardon to everyone irrespective, no, I don’t agree with that.
