Topic: Ross William Ulbricht not Pardoned! - page 2. (Read 1383 times)
Ross William Ulbricht is a martyr for personal liberty. In the near future, he will be revered as one of the most courageous humans in the world and will be rewarded for his troubles. Those who imprisoned him will become the most hated people.
It's no wonder in my opinion. Obama might have had a light hearted approach when it comes to drug use and hence why he pardoned some cases but that doesn't really mean that you could count on him for more controversial decisions. Ulbricht was regarded by the media as the kingpin of an online marketplace that sold illegal goods, things much further than just drugs.
Isn't Mexico El chapo's country and we all know how corrupt some of the officials there. He won't get a shovel to dug but an umbrella and a glass of fresh coconut juice and a semi nude lady on the other side. He cross the border, he stays for life behind the walls.
By the way RawDog created similar thread about this the other day.
outrageous, but hardly surprising.
is there a list of those who did get pardoned & their crimes?

Thanks to John McCain not blocking my access to Google here in Arizona (else would've had to travel across the river to Nevada), mes found it: https://www.justice.gov/pardon/obama-pardons

I guess Ross' hideous crime of maintaining a website, hence getting life in prison, was a more hideous crime than what the 568 lifers did which Obama has now pardoned, giving them a second chance, eh?
Here's a challenge: Name one, JUST ONE, of the 1,715 criminals which Obama granted clemency to who committed a lesser crime than what Ross Ulbricht did.
FWIW, at least as President, Trump will send Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman back to Mexico to serve out his sentence there in a secure prison where, perhaps, El Chapo will be put on shovel duty.
El Guardo: What is your dirt doing in Boss José's yard?
El Chapo: Sorry, boss.
El Guardo: I'll overlook it for now. Meanwhile, here's a better shovel.
El Chapo: Thank you, boss. BTW, how many more ...
El Guardo: Thirty more feet thataway, and make sure you don't hit the water main.

With his final offer of clemency, Obama brought his total number of commutations granted to 1,715, more than any other president in U.S. history, the White House said. During his presidency Obama ordered free 568 inmates who had been sentenced to life in prison.
"He wanted to do it. He wanted the opportunity to look at as many as he could to provide relief," Neil Eggleston, Obama's White House counsel, said in an interview in his West Wing office. "He saw the injustice of the sentences that were imposed in many situations, and he has a strong view that people deserve as second chance."
