Everyone knows that at the end of a US President’s term, he (or she to be PC) usually rips out a whole string of pardon’s and sentence commutations.

Clarence Aaron, convicted of conspiracy and drug charges in 1993, has been in prison for 15 years.

All well and good, no problem with me.  Until FoxNews decided to push Pres. Bush to pardon a certain Clarence Aaron. (Read the Fox Story here)

Three life sentences, without parole.

That’s how long Calvin Smith — part of the notorious Murder Inc. drug gang which terrorized Washington, D.C., in the 1990s — will be in jail for the cold-blooded murder of three people and for dealing drugs.

It’s how long Erick John Llorance will be in jail for three holiday-season armed robberies and a shooting in Houston in 2007.

It’s how long high school shooter Michael Carneal will be in jail for murdering three girls and injuring five other students while they were standing with their youth prayer group outside Heath High School in Kentucky in 1997.

Three life sentences, without parole, is also how long Clarence Aaron will be in jail — because he introduced two drug dealers, so that one could buy cocaine from the other.

Here’s my issue…

Drugs – a scourge of our country. One of the biggest issues IN our country.

Fox News – a SUPPOSED independant voice – “We report, You Decide”

Fox News calling for Pres. Bush to pardon someone who was convicted by a jury of his peers for involvment in a drug deal.

Sad background story? Yes.

Should the American people care about that story? No.

What about the families of those affected by the original drug deal that Aaron initiated? Is there something that Pres. Bush should do for them?

Plain and simple – Clarence Aaron did the crime. Let him do his time. PERIOD

Fox News has lost me as a supporter for this article…  This is Fox News advocating putting a criminal back out on the street. We don’t have enough out there already?  I don’t CARE that it was his first conviction – he’s lucky he wasn’t in China… he’d be dead already!
