Mercy for a Terrorist: Cuomo’s Latest Outrage
THE ISSUE: Gov. Cuomo granting clemency to Judith Clark, the Brinks robbery getaway driver.
We live in an age of terrorism around the world, yet Gov. Cuomo has gone soft and believes Judith Clark deserves clemency (“Gov: Brinks gal merits freedom,” Jan. 3).
Clark deserves to finish her full sentence in prison. The cops killed by the members of the Black Liberation Army never got clemency — they got a death sentence. Clark and the rest of the Brinks robbers should have gotten more than just life behind bars.
We shouldn’t be so lenient when we deal with terrorists. Going soft or showing mercy is a sign of weakness. Glen Benjamin Airmont
It’s outrageous that this woman gets pardoned. As former FBI agent Kenneth Maxwell explains in The Post, Clark wasn’t a bored girl who wanted excitement and got caught up in the moment — she was a principal player in these murders (“She’s a terror, gov.” Jan 1).
I couldn’t care less if Clark supposedly turned her life around. Good for her. God is a forgiving and loving power. She’ll get her just rewards from Him in due time. However, she needs to pay for her sins here on Earth. Alfred Bonnabel Manhattan
Isn’t one “progressive” buffoon of a politician enough for New Yorkers?
Cuomo shows he is right on the heels of Mayor de Blasio by granting clemency to convicted terrorist Judith Clark. After all, she only played a major role in the killing of two good policemen and a security guard.
I guess there’s no shame when it comes to politics. Saul Mishaan Brooklyn
Having promised “free” college education and pardoning the grotesque and unrepentant copkiller Clark, Cuomo has all but declared his candidacy for the 2020 Democratic nomination. Edward Hochman Staten Island
Cuomo’s clemency for Clark, which allows her to appear before a parole board in 2017, is another slap in the face of law enforcement.
I cringe to think that this man would consider running for president. Disgusting. I would urge the board to deny Clark’s application for release. Paul Schettino Hopewell Junction
The governor has the time to commute the sentence of a convicted killer, but can’t find time to help 4,500 members of the Supreme Court Officers Association get a new contract after six years. Ken McCarthy Staten Island
