Obama is putting criminals back on streets via Clemency
Ramon Gonzalez of San Juan, Texas, was sentenced to life in prison in 2002 for conspiracy to possess and distribute 4,506 kilograms of marijuana, or almost five tons. Others were convicted of crimes involving firearms, in addition to their drug offenses. Patrick Brown of Alexandria, Virginia, was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm, as well as possession with intent to distribute cocaine.More than 36,000 federal prisoners have requested volunteer legal advisers to help them prepare clemency requests, and the Clemency Project 2014 said more than 1,500 petitions have been submitted to the Office of the Pardon Attorney, with more to come. Obama's total number of clemency grants to this point is 673 more than the last 10 presidents combined.
Obama is putting felons back on the streets of America to commit more crime and he does not give a damn about the American people. Obama despises the Federal Corrections System. Obama stated this - All of the individuals who received commutations Wednesday were jailed “under outdated and unduly harsh sentencing laws.
Outdated and unduly harsh sentencing laws only apply to criminals in the mind of the MADMAN OBAMA !

This is no surprise. The Left is made up of insecure deceptive liars who hate any notion of accountability for one's choices in life. It's never their fault so of course they will give Clemency to criminals. Have you noticed how progressives have a love affair with the irresponsible, the criminals, the drug addicts on welfare, the Bullies in school(never kicking them out of school and allowing decent kids to learn without fear), the rioters, the Muslim Isis sympathisers, the greater numbers of Black criminals in jail(because they commit more crimes), the dead beat fathers who walk out on their children, those unwed mothers who refused to use birth control and got pregnant and forced tax payers to support them, the illegal immigrants who will soon vote for Democrats if not already doing so because of no required voter ID(Democrats want no voter ID), etc. etc. And who is the greatest of the corrupt criminals who got no reprimand from Democrats? HILLARY CLINTON! IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT DON'T YOU KNOW? It's the new transformed no fault America. 1

10 tons of dope or less is really not a problem for Obama. Felons with guns and dope really not a problem for Obama. But law abiding citizens with guns are a problem for Obama. Contradiction is glaringly clear here. Guns in the hands of criminals Progressives are really not concerned with. Guns in the hands of law abiding citizens is a problem for Progressives. 1

Brock Turner sounds like Bill Clinton! Bill was accused of rape by a couple women and NEVER saw a day in jail! Bill Clinton perjured himself under oath and NEVER saw a day in jail. He even kept his job as President until his term was up. Hillary is a corrupt criminal putting our nation's security at risk and she never saw a day in jail, and what's worse? People like you will probably vote for her to be our President. I promise you if Brock ever runs for office, I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HIM, even if he did spend 3 months in jail unlike the Clintons. Let me also say that money and power runs our nation and the fools will STILL vote for Hillary, making sure the corruption is rewarded as always. I thik it is pathetic a judge gave him ony 6 months and as we all know, bleeding heart Liberals have always fought for getting people out on good behavior.(hence the three months) Remember OJ Simpson? He got off after KILLING his wife so I guess it is not a white Black issue. IT'S BIG MONEY THAT TALKS. Hillary has plenty of money and power as we see. 1

You hypocritical fool! Hate radio? That's coming from an inhuman fool who supports no restriction abortions. Can you live in any more denial of the inhumanity you support? YOU SUPPORT KILLING UNBORN BABIES FOR ANY REASON ALL THE WAY UP TO BIRTH WHEN VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS, and you have the nerve to judge radio stations who actually try to save those lives. YOU ARE A TOTAL WASTE OF TIME. Good riddance! So you think people that sell drugs should be lock away for the whole of their lives? How much do you suppose that will cost? A few million each prisoner? Who is going to pay for this? THE TAX PAYER! Once again, conservatives want more money to fuel their moral outrage campaign. 1

All those prisoners in jail are a direct result of this new no fault culture Progressives have ushered in. No father means a child with no discipline or love to grow up and live a responsible life. The Left never addresses the core reasons for all the crime, drugs, unwed pregnancies, etc. etc. The only answers Democrats have for the social ills in our nation, is more and more Government programs paid for by tax payers. NEVER do they address the core reasons for the problems. Fools will keep giving clemency to criminals till the end of time and it will never fix the problems! Conservatives want to prevent the need for clemency. They want to prevent crime by restoring our families! We had far fewer of these types of problems 60 years ago when our families were more intact. You are the problem! You and most Liberals hate it when Conservatives speak to moral values. The lack of MORAL VALUES in this nation IS THE PROBLEM! sorry but that is ridiculous. he has actually on a similar pace as other presidents as far as clemency goes. most that were released were for drug offenses. which is the dumbest thing America has ever done. we have put millions of americans behind bars because of drugs use and turned them into real criminals which is stupid. these people needs help not jail. one more thing in eight years this president has been scandal free. sorry but your rant does not add up. I can't stand Obama and his administration, and I had to listen to the left convention for a few minutes, and literally couldn't listen for minutes of the crap they say. Yuck!!! To the core Sickening! Police hating, curruption, lies, antichrist, and anti-American ! But it's true it's a weird thing to ask for proof. The proof you are requesting is to broad. It's like asking, give me proof that you never lied. You can't show never not doing something. You can only show examples of action, or examples of results from specific actions, or by specific non-actions. You can show a pattern of action or a pattern of inaction. But your question is non specific, and overly generalized, and the proof would fall more on you in the context of how you asked your question. So you should show examples of scandals in issue(s), and ask for the foundation of truth, proving the specific scandal did not have a foundation of truth to stand on in its accusations of scandal. The president has 2 options for releasing prisoners. He can call for a pardon which wipes the crime off the criminal's record as if it never happened, and then there is clemency. Clemency is where the criminal is released early, but still has the crime they committed on their record. Obama has done clemency for many people this year and he actually is doing it more than the previous presidents. He is not pardoning more prisoners than the last presidents. Outdated and unduly harsh sentencing laws. 10 tons of dope or less should not be punishable under the law and allowed to be distributed on the streets of America must make sense in the twisted mind of the MADMAN OBAMA. Felon in possession of a firearm as well in possession of dope should not be punishable under the law must make sense in the twisted mind of the MADMAN OBAMA. Guns in the hands of felons are no threat according to Obama. Guns in the hands of law abiding citizens are a problem for Obama. you said it yourself look at who we put in jail for small and minor offenses some of these policies looked like the made sense 3 years ago. but today this is sheer lunacy and many on the right is starting to look at this issue. some are teaming up with the left to look real change, lets put down crazy talk of MADMAN and look at real change. as far as the last issue goes he simply has a different opinion of guns on the street than you do. in my opinion I think that as the issue pertains to guns it is arguing over whose fault it is that the horses left the barn when they left a decade ago. there are so many guns on the street it is simply far to late to remove those guns but I will say this, I have come to a different opinion over the years when people say that more guns will make us safer. to me this is simply put defies common sense and logic. but it is far to late to get guns off the street. far to late. 1

Here is what the new clemency initiative requires: "Under the new initiative, the Department will prioritize clemency applications from inmates who meet all of the following factors: •They are currently serving a federal sentence in prison and, by operation of law, likely would have received a substantially lower sentence if convicted of the same offense(s) today; •They are non-violent, low-level offenders without significant ties to large scale criminal organizations, gangs or cartels; •They have served at least 10 years of their prison sentence; •They do not have a significant criminal history; •They have demonstrated good conduct in prison; and •They have no history of violence prior to or during their current term of imprisonment." https://www.justice.gov/pardon/ "dumping criminals back on the streets" Ralph Casas is still in jail and will be for the next 10 years - his sentence was reduced from life in prison to 24 and 1/3 years. Ramon Gonzalez - sentence was reduced from life imprisonment to 30 years (for marijuana possession with intent to distribute) "mostly for drug crimes..." If you think people should serve decades in jail / life imprisonment for marijuana possession (even with intent to sell) I would just respectfully disagree.... |
