New York Post ^ | August 30, 2009 | TAYLOR K. VECSEY and KIRSTEN FLEMING

Posted on 08/30/2009 3:43:41 PM PDT by ConservativeStatement

Three people posed as insurance agents hawking President Obama's health-care reform plan to gain entry to a Long Island home, where they pistol-whipped, shot and robbed two women and a man, authorities said.

Vance Jackson, 46, of Yonkers, and Benjamin Thompson, of Brooklyn, were arraigned yesterday in Central Islip on attempted-murder and burglary charges.

In the story-writing business, they call that “foreshadowing.”

This was no ploy, those were REAL Obama insurance agents. That’s what they will do to all of us if his monstrosity passes.

These were probably members of ACORN, or a similar affiliated activity, and part of the “civilian national security force”, just getting in some field training.

Nothing to worry about here, folks, nothing to see, just keep on moving.

Stupid little thugs criminals. When will they learn that if you want to steal really big money, you need to have government help you, rather than prosecute as a competitor, for trying to steal the available loot from decent citizens.

They probably DO work for Obama and ObamaCARE. No doubt they got the 'wink and nod' from the DNC, AG Holder, and Jim Lehrer.

"Thompson was out on parole with four violent felony convictions. Prosecutors believe he has 17 felony and five misdemeanor cases pending. Jackson also has at least six convictions for violent felonies." Geez...I missed this...what happened to the "3 strikes" law...too mean?

I don't see a lot to joke about here. I want to know why criminals like these are released over and over and over---to hurt more people. They certainly know they can do the crime without doing much time.

That, IMHO, is a huge travesty of justice.

Prosecutors said the two men, both with lengthy rap sheets, hatched the plan when they met for the first time at a parole meeting in Brooklyn.

Thompson was out on parole with four violent felony convictions. Prosecutors believe he has 17 felony and five misdemeanor cases pending. Jackson also has at least six convictions for violent felonies.

Don't they know they can just join up with ACORN and this will all be legal?

The DNC is above the law.

The DOJ under AG Holder has given them all the 'go ahead'.

If you think you’re getting something for nothing you usually end up getting nothing for something.
