Obama announced last week that he would commute the sentences of 22 drug offenders, most of whom sold crack cocaine. The list contained many serving life sentences and even included those selling drugs in school zones.
“The 22 commutations granted today underscore the President’s commitment to using all the tools at his disposal to bring greater fairness and equity to our justice system,” stated Neil Eggleston, White House Assistant and Counsel to the President. “Further, they demonstrate how exercising this important authority can remedy imbalances and rectify errors in sentencing.”

So after one of these men get out they kill someone the family can make up any number they want? He does know the justices system can’t work if he gets the middle of it.
How many kids died because of the drugs they sold??? How many will die when they start selling drugs again!!!!
Fighting CRIME does not include releasing criminals in my mind. If you are convicted of trafficking in selling drugs and sent to prison, some for LIFE, then you should stay there until your sentence is finished. Turning these offenders out on our streets with a God speed letter, does nothing but encourage them to carry on where they left off.
Not worried they will commit other crimes and be right back where they were
Are you proud pinheads? This is your king.
Go figure, he participated in it while in college.
They need help like rehab and a halfway house after. Serving time and revenue is not the answer for them to get clean
How many were pushers???? Now he has them owing him favors and will get his pot more easy.

Good maybe someone will shoot them in another drug deal gone bad. Then we don’t have to pay to keep them alive
