That release happened over the weekend. The vast majority were in for drug offenses (not just marijuana), and as Gary Bauer writes , “20% of the 6,000 offenders just released were also in jail for illegal firearms possession while committing drug offenses.” So much for gun control and background checks. Word is the administration is considering another 8,500 prisoners for release next year. And you thought Bill Clinton issued a lot of pardons on the way out of office. Meanwhile, Paul Sperry of Investor’s Business Daily reports , “Internal government documents I’ve obtained show that the administration figures as many as 43% may re-offend within five years of release. The recidivism rate might be even higher than that, prison officials warn, because the administration hasn’t provided probation officers the resources to properly supervise the waves of inmates it’s releasing prematurely.” On top of fostering a pro-illegal immigrant policy, a third of the prisoners just released are illegal aliens. Despite promises of deportation, it doesn’t appear the administration is working on that. And the other 4,000 are just going to create more headaches for victims of crime and more work for police. Speaking of police, crime is already on the rise this year, and many blame Obama’s racist police rhetoric for the spike. Great time to release 6,000 criminals. As we’ve said before, we understand the need for real prison and sentencing reform, but releasing a bunch of prisoners could come back and bite Obama just like Willie Horton did for Michael Dukakis. http://patriotpost.us/posts/38667 Why should anyone take Obama seriously on gun issues? If he cared about gun crime, he wouldn't be early releasing criminals who had guns in their possession illegally when caught.
