OBAMA's 2nd TERM Discussion Thread
--So the source of your argument is a reality tv show? Seems legit. Anyways, Strawman argument. A non-violent drug offender meaning someone with a minor record or "no prior criminal history whose offense did not involve sophisticated criminal activity and whose offense behavior was not violent." 40,000 people in jail for just possessing or distributing a controlled substance, half of them of distribution of marijuana when marijuana is legal in a few states but you keep watching your reality tv, bro. If more states follow suit with legalization then we will need to release those non violent offenders.
--You're conflating people suspected of a crime with people arrested, charged and convicted of a crime. . Good thing due process has nothing to do with the court of public opinion. If they are found guilty in a court of law, fine, let the rot away in a cell. Cops aren't paid to be judge, jury and executioner. Seems like you're willing to throw the Constitution out the window, never forget who you are or what you represent.
--This was a typical right-wing response. Blame Obama, blame the liberal media, use propaganda for the sake of your argument. I've made my point. Your opinion was appreciated. Thanks.

shawshankNo need to quote your responses,although well thought out,are they not the "typical" left wing hyperbole??..so you want to empty out the jails of convicted criminals?you lambasted the police for shooting choirboys,you proclaim the US the great Satan in the fight against terrorism for all the harm we've done....almost surprised you were able to complete 4 years in the military...almost as bad as Hilary call ing the illegal immigrants "law abiding"..whatever the crime,if your convicted theirs a warm cell waiting for you...although I appreciate your liberal ideology and thinking,it's a little wacked out...
shawshankBack on point:
TONYMON...I didn't blame anyone for that dumbass piece of shit who got shot by the cops. I was merely pointing out how flawed your "cops are gunning down innocent unarmed civilians at a staggering rate" theory is. Liberals love to push their anti-cop agenda to overshadow any story that may convey the truth about the direction this country is headed and also to give you liberals something to be distracted by. All while your leading candidate has been proven to be a liar time and time again (not they care either way). Also reality TV was not my source for the first argument, it was an example. My source is the statistical data showing all of the drug related murders annually. If your wanting to release individuals who were low level dealers who are only serving 6mths-1yr maybe. But the large majority of them had other charges involved that were more severe and take a plea of lessor charge.
From the sound of your arguments I'm thinking you're leaning towards #FeelTheBurn Bernie Sanders? Am I close? You can't be a Clinton supporter, they way you presented your arguments (however distorted I fell they are) shows at least a moderate to high level of intelligence. Which is way to high to actually believe she is qualified to be president.

hokiefanglad this shit show of a presidency is over with... MAGA. I need someone to send me some eds and waters it's been a minute since I've been on here.

lol this guy is so stupid
u look at terrorism in a vacuum and conveniently forget all the circumstances surrounding it. so for example, america invades iraq under false pretenses, hundreds of thousands dead, people tortured, displaced, etc. then terrorist attack "x", "y", and "z" happen, and you ignore the war, torture, and displacement, and pretend the terrorist attacks happened just randomly because "islam told them to"
it's also easy to say all terrorists are muslims when your classification of terrorism is something that only muslims can do (circular reasoning). its funny when you turn the news on and some kind of shooting happens and the pundits are saying "we're unsure if this is terrorism related or a lone shooter", in other words "we're unsure if this was a muslim or someone else".
shawshankParis,Spain,Sweden,Orlando,San Bernadino..and that's all without googling..all attacks by Muslim extremists SINCE I posted that nearly 3 years ago...and I'm sure their are hundreds if not thousands more,rape,murder etc..so take your "Iraqi war" exscuse and shove it up your ass..heres a novel idea,why not have your religion and their leaders condemn such atrocities and start turning these bastards in...when was the last time you saw a mosque leader turn in members whom were blatantly extremist or planning jihad??
A christian leader couldn't turn in someone like that, it's considered a sacramental crime.
TONYMON..."Difference is Muslims, or so called "Radical Islamist Terrorits" act on what there religion says. The majority of Christians/Catholics just preach about it and try and tell the person there sinning, or just accept them and think they deserve there own bathrooms."
Don't want to get into a debate but do you not see a HUGE difference in the method used? I mean having a problem with a guy in the women's bathroom is definitely worse than beheading/throwing them off buildings/hanging/murdering them....
