When Zohran Mamdani chose convicted armed robber Mysonne Linen to help direct crime policy as a member of his criminal legal system committee, he seemed to plumb new depths of moonbattery. But Salem, Oregon has plumbed deeper.

The New York Post reports:

A convicted murderer who executed a teenage girl has been voted onto the police review board of a woke Oregon city — because of the unique “perspective” he brings.

Actually, warped perspectives are not all that unique in moonbattery-addled Oregon.

Kyle Hedquist, 47, was reappointed by the City Council in Salem, Ore., to serve on the board that reviews police complaints by a five-to-four vote, despite serving 27 years in prison for murder, the Statesman Journal reported.

He was originally appointed last year. His résumé:

The Oregon native was sentenced to life behind bars without parole in 1994 for the killing of 19-year-old Nikki Thrasher, after he led the victim down a remote road and shot her in the back of the head to prevent her from telling people about a recent burglary spree.

You know how life without parole goes with liberals in charge:

[I]n 2022, he was released, after Oregon’s then-governor, Kate Brown, a Democrat, argued Hedquist “shouldn’t be locked up for life” due to the fact he was 17 when he carried out his brutal crime.

I rest my case for capital punishment.
