Feds Send Man to Jail for Overfishing as 6,000 Drug Convicts are Freed
Judicial Watch ^ | NOVEMBER 02, 2015

Posted on 11/02/2015 5:51:59 PM PST by george76

These are embarrassing times for the nation's criminal justice system; as the Obama administration executes the nation's largest mass release of federal prisoners, it's sending a Long Island fisherman to jail for reeling in too many...

Back in 2010 resident Obama signed a measure that for the first time in decades relaxed drug-crime sentences he claimed discriminated against poor and minority offenders. This severely weakened a decades-old law enacted during the infamous crack cocaine epidemic that ravaged urban communities nationwide in the 1980s.

As part of the movement the U.S. Sentencing Commission lowered maximum sentences for drug offenders and made it retroactive. Last week the administration started releasing the first wave of 6,000 drug convicts who will get out of jail early. In all, about 50,000 prisoners are eligible for early release ... Federal prosecutors have warned that drug trafficking is inherently violent and therefore the phrase "non-violent drug offenders" is a misnomer. The nation's prosecutors also caution that reducing prison sentences for drug offenders will weaken their ability to bring dangerous drug traffickers to justice.

...

Last week the New York fisherman got sentenced to seven months in prison, a $603,000 fine and three years of supervised release following incarceration ... Is it possible that the country is safer because a fish fraudster is in jail ... while drug convicts roam freely?

If you look at everything ohole has done, all of it has a goal of hurting or damaging or kiling white people.

This is his goal to transform america.

Just like they are doing in europe.

Its why they arent doing all this sh1t in non-white contries.

The goal is to wipe out whites because they are largely Christian and have a lot of intelligence and independence.

How dare you speak truth to power!
Afraid you are right, though based on outcomes...

Obola and his 1970’s radical friends are accomplishing their goals of disappearing whites that don’t fit into their plan to radically transform america.

I had a gentleman in my employ that decided to make some quick money for a trip to Mexico. He was a good worker, so few years later we had him back.

One of his tales from inside was of a guy in for cockfighting.
He said, everyday Colonel Sanders kills a million chickens and I’m the one in jail!

A bit more than catching one or two fish over the limit:

one count of mail fraud, two counts of wire fraud and one count of falsification of federal records for knowingly submitting 158 falsified fishing logs, known as fishing vessel trip reports (FVTRs) and aiding and abetting the submission of 167 falsified dealer reports

That fisherman was guilty of “fishing while white” and Barky’s Boyz are black.

‘Nuff said.

If he had been shooting heroine while fishing, theyda left him alone

Moral of the story is : Become a drug addict, that way you’ll never do time

Not at all, the American people support these mass releases from prison of their fellow drug users.
