President Bush personally pardons drug dealers, terrorist
Last week, on the very day Republican Tom DeLay was indicted, the White House released a list of pardons. It slipped under most people's radar, which was the intention. This simply cannot be! Several of those pardoned were convicted of crimes ... shall we say ... not usually pardoned by a president. This includes:
Jesse Ray Harvey, Scarbro, W.Va.
Offense: Property damage by use of explosives and destruction of an energy facility; 18 U.S.C. 844(i) and 1366(a).
Larry Paul Lenius, Moorhead, Minn.
Offense: Conspiracy to distribute cocaine; 21 U.S.C. 846.
Larry Lee Lopez, Bokeelia, Fla.
Offense: Conspiracy to import marijuana; 21 U.S.C. 952 and 953.
Mark Lewis Weber, Sherwood, Ark.
Offense: Selling Quaalude tablets (one specification), selling, using, and possessing marijuana (three specifications), U.C.M.J., Articles 92 and 134.
Adam Wade Graham, Salt Lake City, Utah
Offense: Conspiracy to deliver 10 or more grams of LSD; 21 U.S.C. 841(a)(1), 841(b)(1)(A)(v), and 846.
Are we to assume that cocaine and LSD are acceptable to this president? Or perhaps "use of explosives and destruction of an energy facility" is really just a piddling little crime, not even worth the brand "TERRORIST."
Mr. Larry Lee Lopez is one lucky bastard. Millions of our citizens rot behind bars, subject to cruel and unusual punishment every day, because of an herb. A plant. A substance less intoxicating than liquor, consumed more commonly than wine through over half the world. I agree with a presidential pardon for a marijuana offense. But why is that not legal precedent? I think it should be. Tomorrow, millions of people would walk out of our prisons. Next week, our country's budget problems could half-way solved.
It'll never happen. They should have blown something up instead of smoking pot. Seems like they would have stood a better chance of getting a 'get out of jail free' card.
