By commuting the sentences of 79 offenders earlier this week, resident Obama has now shortened prison terms for more people than his 11 predecessors combined.

Tuesday’s commutations push the number of sentences he’s shortened throughout his residency to 1,023—and he still has several weeks left in office.

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

A significant portion had been serving life sentences

And what percentage of those convicts were white? I’ll guess about the same percentage as Christians among the Middle East refugees.

Many of these released had weapons and violence charges.

People,who deal drugs are not just like you and me. They are not friendly people.

Have these commutations been analyzed for disparate impact?

In 2013, Cruz replied, ICE agents chose not to begin deportation proceedings against 68,000 people with criminal convictions and separately had released from detention 36,000 people with criminal convictions, including 193 homicide convictions, he said.

Obama is a shocking hypocrite. He wants to infringe on my individual, God-given right to bear arms, but he’s okay with druggies using firearms in their felonies - as long as the criminals are black or Muslim.

As we’ve all known for years, Barack Hussein is a racist. Conservatives are the ones who want all law-abiding Americans to own firearms, regardless of skin color, and who want all Americans to be treated equally under the law. We are the ones who judge others by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Well George, it’s like this and I do not mean this to be racist but the answer is: It depends on your race.

I got no problem with the three strikes law.

That third strike means you got two more before it.

I’m 60 and haven’t got my first strike yet.

Is a drug dealer non violent? Al Capone was convicted of a non violent crime.

This is nothing compared to what he did with those we were holding at Guantanamo.

Some of them are already leading terrorists against out interests.

What’s more, he knew they would.
