AM I the only person who doesnt think Alice Johnson deserved a pardon?

According to evidence presented at trial she was a major entrepreneur behind a multi million dollar drug ring for several years in the nineties, pushing cocaine onto the streets. God knows how many shootings, robberies, vehicle related deaths and injuries stemmed from her greed. This was not just a woman in tough times trying to get by. Maybe she got a tough sentence.. But a Pardon? I don't think so.

She did not get a pardon, her sentence was commuted, her conviction still stands.

I stand corrected.. Her sentence was commuted. But the comment still stands.@Lackwittyname

@whowasthatmaskedman Haha, well I agree she does not deserve a pardon.
I don't really care that much, honestly, but she's an old lady who was given clemency, meaning her sentence as commuted. Technically, she wasn't pardoned.

Her situation is incidental. It got trump news cycle placement. That's what REALLY counts.

I agree she did not deserve one....but then pardons are not "Earned" they are a gift.
But Kim Kardashian wanted it!!!

Yeah.. Lets not go there. I see the entire Kardashian clan as something from the shallow end of the gene pool.@CallmeHopelessNotRomantic
@whowasthatmaskedman I don't even see them from any end of the gene pool. I can't stand any of them

She wouldn't have been high on my list, but ... yeah, she was punished in considerable excess of the charges she was actually convicted of, and 'suspected unproven crimes' isn't a valid reason for it.

I haven't personally looked into the details. It's possible you're right, but I don't know.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Xuan12 Well, don't you think it's time you looked into it?
Sazzio · 31-35, M
Of course, if it wasn't Trump that pardoned her you would've not minded it.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
That's not so. I am all for the severest possible treatment of Traffickers.@Sazzio
