Obama commutes sentences of 46 non-violent drug offenders

When Obama does something about the increasingly unsupportable war on drugs, Freepers do their best to rage at it. But Freepers are quite ambivalent about pot use, at least. Luckily, those who are less enthusiastic have racism and paranoia to fall back on, lest they be hypocritical:

kaehurowing tries for a headline that would have worked maybe 20 years ago:

Obama puts 46 drug dealers back on the streets.

LegendHasIt knows Obama loves drug dealers:

Well, as a druggie himself, of course he would want to release some more choom gang buddies.

mass55th also goes with Obama = drug addict:

The doper-in-chief taking care of his doper friends.

RedEyeJack knows if it seemed like a good idea in the 1980s...

This is BS... The Black community was begging for harsher sentences to stop the epidemic of crack deaths. This was the straw that broke the camel's back...

By TMA62, we should never let anyone out of prison ever:

Those ‘non-violent’ drug offenders pick up a lot of ‘violent’ advice from others in prison.

A Willie Horton moment will eventually occur.

Buckeye McFrog really hopes someone gets murdered so Obama looks bad:

This might actually be good for our side.
Could turn out to be Obama’s “Willie Horton Moment”.

Recognizing the weaksauceness, omega4412 hopes for a more radical future:

Just wait until the last hours of the Obama administration, especially if the R’s win the presidency.

thorvaldr is groping for racism:

Any news on the racial distribution of these 46 people? Does it EXACTLY match the racial distribution of the prison population? Inquiring minds want to know.

Of course, if you know gaijin (and we do), you know he needs no facts to declare racism. And move on to ever more outlandish scenarios:

Every single one of them was black, right?

But just wait, this is the beginning:

he’s later going to do that for every black prisoner in the federal prison system.

And the last thing he will do is banish all US nuclear weapons.

donna shoehorns in some Muslim paranoia:

ISIS recruits?
