Really irks me that presidents do this at the end of their terms and not the beginning. That’s 4 extra years these people had to spend in prison while he was hemming and hawing.
Sadly, it’s to avoid the political fallout.
“President [Name] under fire after pardoning felons convicted of drug crimes connected to criminal gangs. [Opposition] Party members accuse the White House of making Americans less safe by releasing them onto the streets instead of working harder to lower crime rates.”
I wish more people understood this.
2,500 people is still not enough to undo to the damage done by a lifetime of being a pro police corporate puppet like the rest of the politicians
Justice delayed is justice denied fuck you Biden
“Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say, ‘Wait.’”[18]
Nothing like perfection being the enemy of good, is that right?
It always amuses me how people will criticize someone for doing a good thing despite the fact that the alternative choice… Did nothing. Especially when the likes of you would never come to Biden’s defense when the right wing propaganda machine drones on endlessly about, “Biden releasing convicted felons back into put crime ridden streets!!”
Friendly reminder regarding that Birmingham Letter:
It was later that those same liberals passed Civil Rights legislation in Congress. Sure wasn’t the southern Conservatives now, was it? lol.
Nay. Much easier to throw peanuts from the peanut gallery. To blame the good guy for not being better; not the villain who made action necessary in the first place.
