In a White House statement, Biden said he was commuting Peltier’s life sentence so that he can serve the remainder of his sentence in home confinement.

This must be some sort of sick joke.

Yeah it's better than letting him die in prison though.

Well that's good I guess but you could have done this 4 fucking years ago
