I'm sure Obama's 'work' is NOT done - I expect rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and mohamedans to ALL be pardoned, before Obama's through ruining the country in an OFFICIAL capacity!PHILADELPHIA (AP) —
President Barack Obama is commuting the sentences of six non-violent drug offenders in Pennsylvania.They are among 95 offenders whose sentence commutations were announced by Obama on Friday. Many were convicted of distributing or possessing cocaine or crack cocaine. The commutations are the most that Obama has issued at one time.
(crackheads rejoice...
The six men from Pennsylvania include two who had been sentenced to life in prison: Thomas Daniels, of Philadelphia, was sentenced to life in 1996 for crack cocaine distribution; and David Padilla, of Philadelphia, was sentenced to life in 1997 for possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. Daniels' sentence expires Friday; Padilla's will expire in April. The others were Felix Roman Jr., of Reading; Kenneth Hamlin, Jr. of Pittsburgh; Alberto Gonzalez and Pedro Figueroa, both of Philadelphia. Hamlin was convicted of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and distribution of in excess of 50 grams of cocaine base, in excess of 100 grams of heroin, and a quantity of marijuana in addition to possession with intent to distribute and distribution of in excess of 100 grams of heroin.
He was sentenced to 30 years in prison in 1999 plus 10 years’ supervised release. Obama commuted his sentence to expire on April 16, 2016.
"The president's decision today to commute the prison terms of 95 individuals is another sign of this administration's strong commitment to ensuring fairness in the criminal justice system," Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates said in a statement.
(I think "fairness" to the TAXPAYERS, is why they were arrested, tried, and CONVICTED in the FIRST place, DUMBASS!!!)
The announcement comes amid a bipartisan push to ease steep punishment for nonviolent offenders.
(Except the Republicans didn't issue presidential PARDONS for COKE DEALERS today!!! :emotions34
As part of that effort, the Justice Department in April 2014 announced new criteria designed to encourage additional prisoners to apply for clemency. Though advocates praised that move, the number of prisoners granted clemency since then has been fewer than what they had hoped. Julie Stewart, the president of Families Against Mandatory Minimums, said in a statement after Friday's announcement that the "work is not done."
