Wrongly Jailed Border Guards Released
When President Bush, in his last act of clemency, commuted the sentences of Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, I for one shook my head and wondered, "what took so long."
On Jan. 19, the former president finally decided to secure the release of two men that were protecting the border and shouldn't have been in jail in the first place. They shot a fleeing, known to be armed and dangerous drug-dealer in the butt. Oh, Golly. Call the National Guard (which is who they should have on the border these days anyway) what a crime. yeah, yeah, they covered it up; but didn't O.J. get away with worse?
They served two years of a 10-year sentence. They were assaulted and brutalized by other prisoners multiple times. Why they weren't in protective custody, I'll never know. Like I said, why they were in there in the first place?
Well today they were released after the the commutation officially took affect.
