Governor RELEASES Cold-Blooded Killer, Now on Police Board

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

When truth is stranger than fiction: Oregon puts a convicted cold-blooded killer on a police oversight board. Kyle Hedquist executed a 19-year-old girl by marching her into the woods and shooting her in the back of the head—all to silence a potential witness. He got life without parole. Then former Governor Kate Brown commuted his sentence without even notifying the victim's family. Now he's reviewing police conduct in Salem because apparently 28 years of "lived experience" murdering someone qualifies you for public safety positions in woke Oregon. The police union is furious, some council members are backtracking, and residents are asking how we got here. At what point did society decide that executing a teenager no longer disqualifies you from positions of authority? Is "lived experience" really the qualification we want for police oversight boards? How many more justice reform disasters before Oregon wakes up? Drop your thoughts below—subscribe, hit the like button, and let's expose this insanity together.
