Crime rate is about to increase thanks to our fearless leader.

If they are non violent drug offenses they shouldn't have been jailed in the first place... We shouldn't be fighting this ficocta drug war in the first place.

He's still a douche tho

 

[FrugalFannie]

Why doesn't he let out all the ones sentenced for mere possession as well?

While trying to research how serious these crimes may have been (perhaps violence was involved but pleaded out) I ran across this interesting snippet.

Drug Sentence
April 30, 1986
Prince Mashour Aziz, 32, a nephew of Saudi Arabian King Fahd, will serve three months in prison for possession of cocaine and possession with intent to sell. He was cleared on two charges of conspiracy to import and sell the drug. Aziz, a son of the late King Saud, had about $1,500 worth of cocaine with him when he was arrested in February.

We really need to suspend the power of Presidential Proclamations on Election Day.

Or even better, eliminate Presidential Proclamations altogether.

Anyone recall the antics that the Clintons pulled after W was elected/before he took his oath?

Clinton pardoned a lot of violent criminals including FALN terrorists and generally speaking doing a lot of bad stuff to make the transition as difficult as possible?

Well.....Obama is going to make that transition look good.......

Was that before or after they vandalized the WH on their way out?

No, we need to just elect presidents that use their power properly.

Vandalism from immature staffers. Separate issue from the pardons but a clear example of how inept that staff was. Ultimately indicated poor leadership. Expect the same from Hildabeast.

He has granted clemency to a lot of people, over 200. Which is more than the last few presidents by a wide margin. So what though? most of these people committed non-violent crimes, and at least share the ideology of other Americans.

It is not so bad compared to the (5) terrorists he let go from GITMO to get back former Sgt. Bergdahl , a deserter.

Just wait, Hillary is going to let out Lorena Bobbitt.

She would have to leave office voluntarily first.

Just wait, Hillary is going to [STRIKE=strike]let out[/STRIKE] canonize Lorena Bobbitt.

FIFY

I scanned a few of them and saw mostly drug charges -- no care.

 

[jron]

Illegal possession of a MG is non violent. think we can get pardoned?

 

[413dan]

oh, i was thinking what kind water or kaiser?

 

[Spanz]

"400 Middlesex County drug cases may be in jeopardy based on revelations that a former chemist at a state lab in Amherst was high on drugs while on the job after dipping into the same illegal drugs being tested."

well that is ONE WAY to make a boring job more interesting....

 

[Amputee Marksman]

And stole $200,000 worth of silverware, china and furniture. Which, BTW, they were ordered to return or face charges of theft.

You gotta admit, stealing all the "W" keys from the keyboards was funny.

 

[MaverickNH]

If they are non violent drug offenses they shouldn't have been jailed in the first place...

I guess if they just broke into your home and stole stuff to sell for drugs - hey, nobody hurt, right?

I hope that "Presidential Activity" from Nov 2016 through Jan 2017 does not change your mind concerning limiting Presidential Proclamations.
