Obama Gives Criminals a ’Second Chance’ to Kill Us

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

On Wednesday, President Obama gave another 214 convicted drug-traffickers what he calls “a second chance.” That’s clearly good news for them, but bad news for us. 

Typically, more than three-quarters of such offenders resume their criminal activities. They get a new opportunity to destroy lives and threaten public safety through the devastating effects of their narcotics trade and/or through murderous violence.

To be sure, the president claims that the felons he’s turning loose by shortening their sentences are all “non-violent” criminals.  That’s as preposterous as his insistence that $400 million in cash secretly flown into Iran just before American hostages were released wasn’t ransom. 

In fact, under the law, drug-trafficking is recognized as an inherently violent activity.  

It is not just fraud, it is dangerous malfeasance, to give hardened drug-dealing criminals a second chance to kill us.
