Confusion is better than surprise ... that’s why flash bangs are so effective

Well, Obama would get a very well trained army. Likely with the “right” religion. 20,000 is only a beginning.

Show me somewhere in history where a 12% minority took on a 76% majority and won.

They may not take us on that way. They will, for the foreseeable future, keep picking us off a few at a time. The longer I look at this, the more I think whites do not have the stomach to fight this, and the government will never allow a white back lash.

“Allow” you say? When TSHF, there’ll be no such word.

Well, the one thing that the Obama administration does very well is to let criminals out of prison.

Releasing all 20,000 is fine with me.............as long as Holder takes their place. He is more dangerous.

fta... he has said disproportionately affect African-American males.
************************
Holder fails to mention that most of the drug crimes are done by blacks, so the number of blacks incarcerated are obviously going to be greater.

Most people on this thread don’t have their thinking caps on....

20,000 NON VIOLENT - convicted men. Drug crimes.

Worst case is these guys get back on the street and go right back to selling dope. More dope = more drugged up Americans too stoned to riot or revolt or give 2 shits about voting.

It costs what on average to house a federal inmate? $30k?
So this move saves the US govt. $600million a year! Could it be? Democrats actually about to save money?

The problem isn’t with letting this 20k out... It’s why can’t we let out 40k. For decades now federal sentencing has been inhumanely severe. Virtual life sentences dealt out like candy for non-violent crimes.

As a conservative I’m humiliated that our once proud Nation has put more people in prison than any other country on the planet. China, Russia? Nope - more people locked up and more per capita locked up in the “Land of the Free”. Disgusting.

Non-violent drug dealers, really? Just another asswipe race baiter. Remember the FALN under the rapist Clinton that were released.

Unlike any other nation we literally pay the poverty plantation to generate our prison population.
