He allowed first-degree murderers to have weekend passes from prison on average. A first-degree murderer was let out on a pass each day for the last seven years. Ten murderers on weekend passes have escaped one kidnapped and stabbed a Maryland man and raped his fiancée as President. George Bush will be as tough on criminals as they are on us.
