Odd how he feels such a close kinship to low life drug dealing felons.

Obama hates America, and he continues to do all he can to hurt her.

Don’t worry, they’ll soon be picked up again and returned to prison for new crimes.

Heard this the other day....

As states begin to allow recreational marijuana, prisoners will be able to request their release AND have their record expunged.

As a footnote....the majority are black. Who would have thunk.

FTA

‘It makes no sense for a nonviolent drug offender to be serving decades, or sometimes life, in prison,’ Obama wrote in a Facebook post. ‘That’s not serving taxpayers, and it’s not serving the public safety.’

Can’t say as I disagree.

And he has released blacks far beyond the numbers they represent in our population.

Look at the numbers and tell me he is not a racist!!!!!!!

He is a black president who only represents the socialists, liberal nut jobs, communists, and blacks in this country.

Obama is a great and talented liar. If you are interested in reality and truth do not listen to the words, they are only intended to divert you from the truth. If you want the truth turn off the sound and judge his behavior, his actions, and the true outcome of his actions. In that, and only that will you find the truth about his presidency and intentions.

Obama’s actions label him as a socialist, racist, anti constitution radical.

Questions:

We really do need sentencing reform. Too many non-violent crimes are classified as felonies, while some violent crimes are classified as misdemeanors.

And, due to things like the "three strikes" law, someone can receive a life sentence for a non-violent crime, while rapists and even murderers get a shorter sentence.

But, commutations and pardons are an end-run around the process, and discourage real reform.

The particular offenses for which they are incarcerated may not have involved violence, but drug traffickers, drug peddlers, and drug addicts inflict disorder, decay and demoralization onto the broader society.

And, yes, they bring violence as well.

“Most of those who have received clemency are nonviolent drug offenders, though many were also convicted of firearms violations related to drug crimes.”

ahhh blame law abiding citizens for shootings but let off criminals who used guns.
