They couldn’t get a race war going with Trayvon Martin so now the government works to release criminals in hopes of increased crimes and deaths that will call for the implementation of the police state that Obama wants!
We already don’t have jobs enough for the normal populace out here. What’s going to happen when these trained criminals get out and there is no work? (Prison is a criminal training ground after all. They can go in for minor offenses but come out worse then when they entered.)
