In reply to the discussion: Why is the President commuting sentences of cocaine traffickers? [View all]Press Virginia
(2,329 posts)but whine about 20yr sentences? Or maybe it's the other people, like you, who think the president just commuted the sentences of some poor addict caught with a small amount of heroin instead of repeat offenders with multiple felony convictions for manufacture, distribution and trafficking of large quantities of heroin, meth and Coke? Maybe the guys who were running the crack houses, while being felons in possession of a gun, were the good nonviolent armed felons selling crack?
I'm sure you might find the guys who were convicted of felony distribution of cocaine, while on supervised release from their most recent felony distribution conviction, worthy of another chance to prove they didn't deserve that life sentence they earned?
I'll bet the guy who was convicted of taking more than 5 kilos AND A GUN across state lines, as part of drug ring will be happy to have his license back.
