Hey Bush, how about also pardoning these people (these are all federal cases). :mad:

I'm definitely against mandatory minimum sentences, and many of those cases should be reviewed. If not pardoned, at least commute their sentences.

Why are almost all the women in the pics overweight?

Fat and drugs go together?

Need to lay down the pipe and ride the horse.

After David's wife was seriously injured and could no longer work, his family needed money. David's solution was to grow marijuana

Yea, I don't need to read the story, because if thats the synopsis, this guy doesn't deserve a pardon.



Sabrina is serving a mandatory 12-year prison sentence for involvement in her boyfriend's methamphetamine conspiracy.

Read further and you'll see that she willingly kept a relationship with a methamphetamine dealer. You reap what you sow.



Weldon is serving 55 years for selling marijuana three times while possessing or being in the presence of a weapon (though he never showed or used the gun).

Reading further, the guy has two kids and he felt the need to sell marijuana and take a gun to his deals at that? Sorry, doesn't deserve a pardon to me. I'll admit, maybe he deserves a lighter sentence, but he broke the law so he does time.


Thats just a couple I skimmed over.

I really have little sympathy for people who complain that they're being wronged by the justice system when they're the ones who took the wrong path of life. That was their decision. They didn't have the strength to do something with their life and so they end up spending time behind bars.

Also, IMO, this isn't the thread to debate drug law. If these people really cared about their futures, they should have simply followed the law. If they really cared, they should have been trying to fight mandatory minimums before they got arrested.

There shouldn't BE mandatories for nonviolent crimes (hell, I feel that most shouldn't BE crimes in the first place).

Wow, so many crack distributors and meth distributors and gun felons. Not one of these losers is just a casual drug user.
Just because their on a drug boo-hoo site doesn't mean they aren't criminals, and every one of these folks is a criminal with the possible exception of Greg Cooke.
Reading through them it becomes pretty obvious that none of them should receive a pardon

Distributing crack or meth is akin to violent crime in my mind. These are not relatively harmless enhancement drugs like some weed, LSD or mushrooms. They are ruin your life, your family's lives, and your entire neighborhood drugs. No sympathy for those who do that to others.

I'm not sure,I could see granting Mrs Groves a pardon now.

Don't think it will do her much good though.

Bush? He's EX-PResident Bush now! It's PResident Obama's job to pardon people now!

Lawrence Tynes said: "Is my brother guilty? Yes? But 27 years? I understand how the system works. I was a criminal justice major. I understand what happens if you have priors. But still, 27 years? My brother being in prison isn't the injustice. The sentence was the injustice."

There you go. Even the CJ major thinks he should be let go rofl...

And the thing you have to as is if these people deserve more time than killers and rapists.

I concur, they need to be executed for balance :2cents:

Sooooo ACW, Other than complaining non-stop on a message board, what exactly are you doing to change things?
