Six Simple Rules

Washington, D.C.

A deputy assistant deputy assistant of something-or-another at DOJ has laid out a six-item criteria to decide whether Federal prison inmates should be sprung loose during Obama’s impending chimpout in the last two years of his Presidency.

The “standards” are:

– They are currently serving time in a federal prison and likely would have received a substantially lower sentence if convicted of the same offense(s) today;

– They are non-violent, low-level offenders without significant ties to large scale criminal organizations, gangs or cartels;

– They have served at least 10 years of their prison sentence;

– They do not have a significant criminal history;

– They have demonstrated good conduct in prison; and

– They have no history of violence prior to or during their current term of imprisonment.

Here’s the problem.

The fundamental problem with them is that whoever wrote them must believe this false meme going around that there are lots and lots of Federal prisoners who get 20 years just for having a little bit of weed.  That myth is largely peddled by the liberTARDian drug legalization crowd and professional excuseologists for black crime.

Hardly anyone in Federal prison meets all six of these standards.  If you have already done “at least ten years,” this means you got a sentence longer than ten years.  And the kind of people who get Federal bits longer than ten years (being mindful of the fact that those that do are not eligible to be placed in minimum security facilities, 10+ year fliers must be placed in at least medium), are not non-violent people, or do have ties to large scale criminal outfits, or do have a long enough prior sheet, or had a history of violence before their current bid, or a combination of these things.

Really, nobody’s going to pay attention to these standards, especially not President Obama.  He has one standard:

–  The inmate must be part of the Democrat electoral coalition or must have a high probability of voting Democrat.

While I’m on this subject, Yahoo Snooze has this long spread about this matter, profiling a white woman in Federal prison, supposedly for meth.  I get the feeling that they’re deliberately leaving out a few details.  I am almost certain they’re profiling a white woman as cover for the fact that Obama will be opening the prison house doors for mostly blacks and Hispanics.

 

Oh, Okay.

Bowling Green, Kentucky

Rand Paul opens mouth inserts foot again on immigration.

Except he has slightly backpedaled from previous statements — He now says we can’t let the whole world in.

That’s a real comfort to me.

He Loved His Mama

O’Fallon

Dey all love dey mamas.

Ironically, if you would have ever said anything bad about his mother in front of him, he would have murdered you.

I Am Legend

Jefferson City

Some black preachers from St. Louis and Kansas City were supposed to rally for ObamaDontCare on the steps of the capitol this afternoon, namely during the noon hour.

Either I was looking for them in the wrong place or they were in the wrong place.  I didn’t see any rally.  Where I looked, I was all alone.

And even if they did rally, what good did they think they were going to do that Kit Bond couldn’t?  ICYMI, the ObamaDontCare forces hired Kit Bond of all people to try to lobby Republicans in the state House and Senate to sign the suicide pact.  Though the only time I ever saw him around here was not long after that happened, and he looks like warmed over death.  People who want something out of some government hire big name people as lobbyists because they think their name and reputation has weight and currency with down-the-ladder politicians.  The problem with that mentality in Kit Bond’s case is that since he left the Senate in 2010, especially since Roy Blunt was an almost carbon copy perfect drop-in replacement from both a temperament and voting record standpoint, the only people who have truly missed him are the D.C. liquor stores, being mindful of the fact they lost Ted Kennedy’s business in 2009.  Another problem is that state legislators have term limits, eight years for a House member max, eight years for a Senator max.  This means just in the time he’s been retired from the Senate, there has been a lot of turnover in the state House and Senate.  After each passing election cycle, there are or will be fewer and fewer members of the state House and Senate who were even members of one of those bodies while Kit Bond was actually a U.S. Senator.

The other problem is that Kit Bond’s phone calls and schmoozing, (as if anyone wants to get personable with an old drunk), don’t negate budget and legislative realities.

Middle School Confidential

Kissimmee, Florida

Sixteen years old and still in middle school.

But maybe going up the river for attempted murder.

64% Hispanic, 24% black.

Depend on Hobbs

Chicago

What does this mean?

Something I’ve been predicting for awhile:  The Federalization of ordinary black street crime, especially in states with very crowded state prisons.  Don’t be surprised if the Feds use the fact that a murder weapon or parts of it crossed state lines as a hook to make most murders a Federal object and bring them into Federal court.

Yep, it’s gotta be Bell Curve City.
