IL crack dealer whose sentence was commuted by former President Obama, charged with attempted murder

If Obama had a son his age, he'd look like him

It's the same old tired story of people who were granted clemency, or got off on a no bond situation, or were given a suspended sentence and then go out and kill someone. [Or allegedly kill or attempt to kill someone until it's proven in court that they indeed did the deed.] See, the lawmakers who allow us to be soft on serious crime are not the ones affected by serious crime, but it's what they do to get reelected. 

And this is the case where a former crack cocaine dealer released from a life sentence in prison by former President Obama, is back in the slammer for allegedly shooting at a passenger in a car on an Illinois highway, according to police.

The alleged shooter, Alton Mills, 54, got out of prison eight years ago and now has been charged on three attempted murder charges over a shooting the left the victim in critical condition. 

Mills was inside a vehicle and allegedly fired "multiple shots" at another vehicle. The incident took place on a ramp at Interstate 57 Sunday in Posen, about 30 miles south of the major crime city of Democratic-run Chicago.

“The back-seat passenger in the victim vehicle was struck by gun-fire and was transported to an area hospital with life-threatening injuries,” police said.

Mills was being held without bond following his arrest. 

In 2016, he had his life sentence commuted after serving only 22 years in prison for drug charges. He was convicted in 1994 on federal charges as part of a crack cocaine conspiracy that ruined the lives of myriad individuals.

By the time he was convicted, the POS already had two prior convictions for having less than five grams of crack cocaine in his possession. Prosecutors then filed a sentence enhancement to put him away without the possibility of parole.

At the time, the liberal judge in the case expressed disagreement over the harsh sentence, but refused to use him as a babysitter.

Illinois Sen. Dick [seriously] Durbin (D), repeatedly shared the Mills victimhood story, even on the Senate floor, and there was not a wet eye on the right side of the room. It's rumored that Dick has never been shot at and lives in a basically crime-free area and also has armed security.
