FULL TITLE: Surveillance video shows the moment masked gunmen broke into the halfway house where they 'executed' a man who just had his 19-year prison sentence commuted by Obama

Surveillance video shows the moment two masked gunmen barged into a Michigan federal halfway house before they 'executed' a man who just had his prison sentence commuted by former President Barack Obama.

Demarlon C. Thomas, 31, was shot several times, including the head, inside the Bannum Place Federal Corrections Halfway House on Monday night.

Thomas, who had his drug-related prison sentence commuted in November, was 'executed' by one of the gunman, as the other suspect corralled at gunpoint roughly two dozen people at the facility before they both fled the scene moments later.

The surveillance video first shows the masked men running to the door outside of the facility wearing dark clothing, as they each held on to assault-style rifles around 9:40pm.

Looks like they moved him from halfway to “all the way”.

Makes Obama an accessory to a murder.

I wonder what the man did while in prison? Did he rat out his other dealers?

Maybe I’ve seen too many movies but I wonder if he ticked off the wrong people and they were waiting for him to become available for execution.

It would appear that justice was served.

Well, THAT didn’t go as planned now, did it? The poor guy didn’t have any time for recidivism and additional costs to American Taxpayers!

0bama is deeply saddened.

*SPIT*

There was one guy who’d completed a fifteen year sentence and was gunned down right when he left prison; walked out the gate and then blooie.

Possibly belated justice for pi$$ing someone off before he went to prison. It wouldn’t be unusual for retribution to be doled out many years later. Criminals never forget, or forgive.

I wonder if whoever put this guy on Obama’s commutation list had this in mind for Thomas all along.

Perhaps this guy sold Obummer some bad drugs back in the day.

This was Obummer’s way of getting even.

(Heh, I shouldn't laugh.) Or maybe it's like the do-gooder animal rights activists who free animals out of cages, only to have them end up as roadkill.

Proverbs 12:10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.

“I wonder what the man did while in prison? Did he rat out his other dealers?”

In a long and varied career in defense, I have occasionally either worked for somebody or knew somebody in management who was bat-sh*t crazy. One guy managed the accounting department and almost certainly was on cocaine. He was totally paranoid. Can you imagine, if a percentage of the ordinary working world is that way, how much greater the percentage must be in the drug world?

Movies often depict drug people as simple, but brutal businessmen. They appear cold, but logical; reasonable, even, in the context of their environment. I’m guessing they are really more like the Al Pacino character in “Scarface.” Short tempered, irrational and crazy.
