Do you know the name Oscar López Rivera? Most people don't. Lopez Rivera is a convicted terrorist/murderer who set bombs that killed many people in the 1970's as a member of the FALN. That group is a radical Puerto Rican group that attacked the USA in the name of Puerto Rico. Lopez Rivera was caught and sentenced to life in prison for the numerous murders due to his bombs. Then he faded from public view until yesterday when president Obama decided to release him from jail by commuting his sentence.
Let's put this in context. What Obama did is the rough equivalent of deciding to release one of the 9-11 hijackers if any had survived and been sent to prison. This is not an act of kindness by Obama; it is a present given to his most left-wing supporters some of whom look at Lopez Rivera as a freedom fighter. After all, he did bomb a police station, so -- the far left reasons -- he can't be all bad, right?
It is hard to imagine that Obama ever had the best interests of the American people at heart. No one who values American lives would ever have let Lopez Rivera go free.
