It's not really an appropriate label. There is pretty big difference between someone that embezzled $1K from the local Little League compared to someone that embezzled 1 million from the Red Cross.

Not a fan of Kim K. or Trump - but I agree with the pardon.

I hate drug dealers, but 21 years in prison is enough (imho).

This is the type of pardon I support. Unfortunately, trump did it for the wrong reason. But I'm happy for Ms. Johnson.

I don’t think someone who stole a million dollars should get life without parole. The only ones who should get that are killers.

I would add the following:
1. Cops caught and convicted of being on the take.
2.Corrupt politicians
3. Pedophiles

She may not have personally killed someone but her role in this helped facilitate many people dying through gang violence, overdoses or whatever else. Whether you are a big cog or little cog in organization like this they all hold some responsibility for those deaths.

Nope, none of those except maybe the pedophiles. We put them on sex offender registries and condemn them to joblessness. Might as well keep them in prison.
