The released convicts were guilty of non-violent drug offenses. Good start or bad idea?

Only time will tell, but many of the long sentences for nonviolent drug charges, seem to do little to deter drug use and sales. We need more space for violent criminals and building new prisons is too costly and time consuming. With out the crystal ball it seems like a good move.
The silent majority will be silent no more.

Not even a drop in the bucket. He is the President. He should work on changing the laws that put them in there.

He is the President. Changing laws is the job of Congress, not the President. Talk to your Republican congressional leaders.

See the ACA and dreamers for starters... Obama has no problem changing laws without congress.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Ultimate good news/bad news scenario for Demariyus Thomas's mom.
Warden: President Obama has commuted your sentence.
Mom: Yippee!
Warden: You will be released in November.
Mom: WTF!!!!

Any correlation between November release and voting? Nah that couldn't be it.

Running a crack house? Non-violent crime. How did the customers make the money needed to pay for the crack?
