People die everyday due to drugs and not just overdosing. Kids are not immune to this. This is not a victimless crime. Yes I think child molesters should be put down but that does not excuse other crimes. The system is far from perfect but cutting people loose is not the fix. He is just a drug dealer Jesus society is so far gone. Can we stop pretending like drug dealers are store clerks. People die everyday due to drugs and not just overdosing.

Its ridiculous my Nephew got 13 yrs for buying Sudafed and I know someone that got 4 yrs for killing a girl so I have no faith in Florida Judicial System. After all we let George Zimmerman off not to mention Casey Anthony. So Kudos to Obama for going back and changing the sentence's on these harsh drug sentences.

Odd how he ignores the laws he disagrees with (and acts as if these death dealing drug sales are harmless), yet insists that one of the worst pieces of political law-writing, the so-called Affordable Care Act, AKA "Obamacare", is the "law of the land and cannot be ignored". Hopefully, prayerfully, with God's grace, we can make some sort of positive change in November.

All you hear is poor poor criminals. There is a set of standards that criminals have to meet before being considered for commute. One big one no repeat offenders. I see it as a slap in the face for ever one who risked there lives to bring them to justice. So when one of these fine young men comes a knockin wanting what you got, make sure to let them know you think they got a raw deal. But that's my thoughts God Bless America, and the people who fight for it. What is going on in the world today.

Not all people who have committed offenses do it again. The majority of so called statistics people quote are highly misrepresented. Everyone makes choices and all of those choices have consequences, that includes the people who choose to use drugs. You can't TAKE from anyone what is GIVEN freely. People who make a conscious decision to use drugs choose to give up their souls. The problem in America is that most people lack compassion for their fellow man. We are always quick to point fingers, but are never ready nor willing to take a walk in the next man's shoes. Until we do, WHO ARE WE TO PASS JUDGEMENT. Judgement will be passed soon enough, but it won't be ANY man who does it. It will be GOD and HIS WORD.
