The misplacement of mercy is not a virtue. Many people deserve mercy, and she gets that. Aggressive treatment paid for by us, the taxpayers.

The reality is, many more people are dying of cancer on whom "mercy" would be better placed.

If she's in prison she gets taxpayer-funded treatment.

If she's released her treatment is paid by another source, maybe her husband's insurance.

She's still dying no matter what.

Cite that source. My guess is she would still be in the system and we'd still be paying. The only difference, she gets a bonus that others will not get, because she's supposedly paying a debt to society and they are not.

Actually she may not be getting taxpayer-funded treatment.

Poynter: And we’re asking for compassionate release because she is dying in prison. We want to get her out and get her to a facility in New York City. In Lynne’s own words, “If you are white, have a reasonable amount of economic support and certain notoriety, medical care is available to you in New York City.” We can have her survive long enough to carry her case to the Supreme Court, if she gets out of prison now, so she can access this medical care that is available to her in New York City.

Poynter: We are hoping – today is Sunday – we are hoping that Monday we have a response from the government. We are hoping, but we are also planning Tuesday to have meetings to see our next step. We know the government knows about it. She has passed all of the legalities of compassionate release; she qualifies as the bill was written. But we also know that when Lynne went to prison, she was scheduled for an operation, and it was 18 months before they scheduled the operation in Fort Worth, Texas. So, they are in no hurry, and as I say, they are looking to kill her. And as the attending physician said, it was the worst case she’d ever seen, due to the delay. So this is nothing new.

We say we want treatment for her cancer. They’re delaying. We said we wanted treatment for her other physical problems, they delayed. This is death by lack of medical treatment in prison. But that makes Lynne no different than all the other political prisoners who are in jail. They suffer the lack of physical medical treatment."

I wish these leftists would show the same compassion for Christians they show for muslim terrorists. I guess their compassion only goes to protecting their special interest groups.

I disagree.
Sitting in 5x9 cell, knowing you're going to die from cancer is a very fitting punishment.

Actually no.

Murders can get life imprisonment without parole with 3 meals a day, a hot shower and allowed exercise. Some of these killers maimed and torture their victims. Their recourse is life in prison, paid for by taxpayers. So sometimes the punishment does not fit the crime.

Let's say I develop breast cancer (men do sometimes) what extra bonus am I going to get? The reality is, people get cancer who aren't in prison and get nothing special when it happens, why give this person something special? She literally helped kill Americans on a terrorist level... and due to a misplaced priority we'll give her freedom she never earned?

special circumstance for freedom I believe depends on the condition and I believe in her case if her cancer has metastisized to the point where her death is likely to where she wont serve her full sentence why waste taxpayer money? Treating her, feeding her, medicating her, and showering her?

From an economic standpoint it makes no sense. It's like putting money in a broken soda machine.
So her being released means she is truly free? Well to argue that we would have to start another thread. The

It useless to argue with these clowns. Vengeance will ALWAYS trump mercy for them.

That is sad because I've seen firsthand what cancer does when it spreads. Pain is daily and patients are often given morphine patches for pain management. No appetite (which is why they give them arijuana but even that does not restore normal diet in advanced cancer. If conservatives on this board care about taxpayer money why shell out money to a dying person who wont serve their full time anyway?

Is it standard practice to release any prisoner diagnosed with terminal cancer, or any terminal disease?

It has nothing to do with vengeance. It has everything to do with her serving out her sentence for her crimes. Plain and simple

She is not the first case of someone released for a terminal disease. I think factors such as the type of crime, psychological profile of the inmate (e.g Is the inmate a psychotic killer) or if the inmate has expressed "good behavior" not to mention good legal counsel all factor in these situations.

Yes, that's why leftists are tolerant of Phil Robertsons' marriage, instead of starting threads pretending they are appalled and their morals are outraged.

Phil Robertson is a conservative idiot that has bigoted views, and the fact he has a Masters in education is so disheartening to the point where American education is pointless.

It's what we're allowed to do, under the law; but what does your comment have to do with letting the lawyer go and how punishment fits her?

Apparently your idea of mercy is limited....

Mercy is giving a killer 3 meals, a shower, medical and dental, an exercise area, schooling both high school and college. That to me is Jesus mercy...

If you take a diseased dying person away and out of prison that in actuality is 1 less person you are merciful to because that person is on their own.

You act like they just kick her out of the prison and she lays in the middle of the road, until she expires.
More then likely, she's going to go on Medicare/Medicaid (funded by the public); where she'll get medical and dental and she'll also get 3 meals a day, showers, and access to anything else she fucking wants.
