SAGINAW (WWJ/AP) – A man whose drug-related prison sentence was commuted in November by President Barack Obama has been fatally shot at a federal halfway house in Michigan after two men with assault-style rifles sought him out, police said.

Two men wearing masks went into Bannum Place in Saginaw on Monday night with plans to kill 31-year-old Damarlon Thomas, a former Saginaw gang member. Lt. David Kaiser said Thomas was shot several times by one of the men as some of the roughly two dozen people at the home were held at gunpoint.

But, but... he was expected to be an upstanding productive member of the community. /s

Doesn’t always work out like that, one guy he released has killed three people.

My father used to suggest that all serious criminals (including murderers) should be given 30 day sentences. And their release from prison should be well-publicized.

If someone from the community wants to be at the appointed time and place and *ahem* “volunteer” for a 30-day sentence, then a lot of neighborhood trash could be disposed of for very little cost.

Obama doesn’t care that the guy is dead. Obama still gets credit among leftists for freeing a drug peddler.

[who knows what evil?]

Good...hope they ALL end up the same way.

I don't click on See B.S. links.

Does the author ever get around to what the "drug-related" crime was?

That's the biggest fraud you hear from the legalize drug crowd; that so many people are in prison for doing drugs when, in actuality, they're in prison because they plea bargained down to drug related offenses.

Go on any ride-along with a cop and you will find that when they arrest somebody for a drug posession, they lament that the perp will be out of jail before the paperwork is done and nothing will ever come of the arrest.

I think every last one of them will be dead within two years. It is their criminal nature as to why they had life sentences in the first place.

Looks like they were afraid he was going to rat them out.

[dead]

He was going to be a rapper!

[SparkyBass]

let’s decipher this as if Obummer were a Conservative... The headline:

Obama kills minority by removing him from safety of his cell!

There, fixed it.

One less "Obama son" that the world has to deal with. Hopefully many of the other released convicts will come to a similar fate, and quickly.

[who knows what evil?]

I think every last one of them will be dead within two years.

Good point...the 'winning' could roll on for some time.

Florida Man needs to step it up

Guess that commutation didn’t work out like expected.

Nothing that the Idiot ever did worked out the way he expected. That's because he's an idiot. He doesn't have the higher level of understanding necessary to accurately predict consequences of his decisions.

It’s a bad week to be a commuted criminal.

[dfwgator]

Not the "Michigan Man" Bo had in mind.

[Red Badger]

Well, he made it halfway.....................

[Lurkinanloomin]

Let’s make sure we never let this happen again.

Natural born citizens only from now on.

Like the Constitution requires.

[libstripper]

Duuuh—looks like de boy, he wwar’nt so “non-violent” after all.

[Red Badger]

Not necessarily professional, but being gang related, may have been revenge or retribution for ratting others out................
