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.
