On this episode of "By Any Means Necessary" host Eugene Puryear is joined by Shawn Garcia, National Campaign to Free Oscar Lopez and long-time activist for Puerto Rican Independence to talk about what it means for Puerto Rico's independence efforts now that President Obama has commuted Oscar Lopez Rivera's prison sentence.
