Utopia Talk / Politics / Trump commutes sentence of gang founder

murder Member	Fri May 30 09:01:04 Trump commutes sentence of Chicago gang founder after lobbying by Ye Larry Hoover Sr., once called “one of the most notorious criminals in Illinois history,” will be transferred from federal to state prison following an appeal by Ye, aka Kanye West. Many Americans may not know Larry Hoover Sr. beyond a passing reference to him in Rick Ross’ 2010 hit single “B.M.F (Blowin’ Money Fast),” in which Ross sings, “I think I’m Big Meech (Woo), Larry Hoover ...” But on Wednesday, President Donald Trump commuted the six life sentences that Hoover, a Chicago gang founder, was serving for a 1997 conviction in federal court. Trump commuted the sentences after a campaign by hip-hop artist Ye, aka Kanye West, now Kim Kardashian’s ex-husband, who lobbied Trump in the Oval Office to consider releasing Hoover. Hoover, though, will not be freed. He will be transferred from the federal “Supermax” prison in Colorado, where is held now, to a state prison in Illinois to serve the rest of a 200-year sentence for crimes he was separately convicted of in state court. Hoover founded the Gangster Disciples, a Chicago-based criminal organization that sold cocaine and other narcotics beginning in the early 1970s. Called the “chairman of the board” and “the king” of the gang, he was also declared “one of the most notorious criminals in Illinois history.” Prosecutors have said in court filings that “Hoover directed violence and drug trafficking in Chicago from at least 1970 until 1995.” Read the rest here: http://www...founder-lobbying-ye-rcna209634

Pillz breaker of wtb	Fri May 30 09:18:45 Tl;dr Trump made the state of Illinois pay for their own criminal, rather than the federal prison system paying for him. Murder is mad because?
Rugian Member	Fri May 30 10:30:39 "Murder is mad because?" Since Illinois taxpayers are now paying for him, that's just a little less money available for the Chicago/Springfield public unions to pilfer.
murder Member	Fri May 30 15:19:09 Or because he's now 1 more corrupt decision away from walking the streets again. Is this Trump policy now? Is he commuting the sentences of all federal prisoners that have state sentences to serve? Because you don't need to do that. You could simply transfer them to state prison to serve out their sentences before being transferred back to serve out their federal sentence. Making convicts serve their federal sentence first is a federal government decision. It doesn't need to be that way. There is no excuse for commutation other than corruption or Trump repaying favors. -
