Joy Reid Regular: Biden Should Pardon All 78,000 'Non-Violent' Drug Criminals
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 07/11/2020 2:14:13 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

That should make a great bumper sticker: Vote Biden--He'll Pardon 78,000 Drug Criminals! Seriously, do hyper-partisan liberals believe they're doing Biden any favors with their extremist proposals for what he should do in office? Take Elie Mystal, a Joy Reid regular, on her MSNBC show on Saturday.

Commenting on President Trump's commutation of Roger Stone's sentence, Mystal suggested that to "show Republicans," on his first day in office Biden should pardon all 78,000 "non-violent" federal drug criminals. How many of these "non-violent" offenders in fact have a history of violence? How many would go on to commit violence once released, while stirring misery and addiction in the communities to which they return?

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Go for it, Biden! Announce that if elected, you’ll release 78,000 drug criminals!

Joy should spend some time in the court room and learn how many chances the drug offenders are given before they ever end up in prison.

Not that she'd ever let reality intrude on her stupid ideas.

In many cases, “non-violent” only because they pled down from murder charges levied against them.

Biden needs to take it to its logical conclusion and announce that on day one, he would abolish the entire federal prison system, release ALL prisoners, and immediately restore their voting rights!

It’s not knowledge she lacks. It’s a race-blind moral compass. For her, black supremacy/impunity trumps all else.

I disagree that we should pardon all non-violent meth and heroin dealers.

Bernie Sanders would be President..basically Bernie and Biden made a deal, Biden wins the primary becomes the nominee, but Bernie runs the show if he wins, all of Bernie’s agenda gets done..so its Bernie as President by proxy

Biden would only be able to pardon federal drug convictions, not state ones.

At some point the Antifa crowd is going to make a demand that all of the federal charges against statue topplers, police assaulters, and monument vandalized be dropped and if convictions obtained, perps pardoned on Biden’s first day in office if he is elected.

Joy Reid has no idea how many people have been killed, how many children have been left without parents, how many families have been subjected to the mental and monetary torture of trying to admit, re-admit drug addicted family members while the drug dealers walk free. I have seen families faced with those problems and how those problems have ruined their lives.

No matter how you feel about the “drug war” a blanket pardon for these criminals is a bad idea since a lot of them ARE Violent criminals but pleaded down to a lesser charge. You’d have to go through all of them separately to see which ones aren’t actually dangerous criminals.
