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.

This is a seriously planned hit. His enemies really wanted him dead.


After eight years in prison! That is some serious grudge.

Or, could it be for something done while in prison?

Gang members seeking revenge? I wonder if that berk ratted to get his sentence reduced.

Or ... was this a statement by the loved ones of the druggie’s many, many victims, balancing the scales of Justice.

Or, maybe he’s just a violent dumbass living outside the law and met the end that violent dumbasses living outside the law inevitably meet.

“Who saw that coming?”

Since your grammar is atrocious, especially your understanding of Ebonics, I must correct you. The proper sentence would be:

“Who saw dat coming?”

We have to give Obama credit for where credit is due. It was the best way for these prisoners to be dealt with what is coming to them. Swift justices happens outside not in the prison systems. Now think of all the money the taxpayers are going to save. I bet most of those who got pardon by Obama are going to end up dead on the streets. Thanks Obama. LOL

Federal halfway house? Didn’t someone run out with the victim zone signs and stop the murder?

“Lets hope that the really REALLY bad guys that Obama released have a similar ending. “

And equally importantly, let’s hope that the Gitmo guys he released all get to meet Allah up close and personal courtesy of the USAF.

Reminded of the time in front of a crowd along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, Bill Clinton released the young, rehabilitated eagle back into the wild only to be attacked by some local osprey.

Since people in this line of work, at least at this level, don’t really keep up with current events, Maybe, just Maybe, local LEOs are spreading rumors the only reason these guys are out is because they named names and the warrants are coming.

(The old TV Cop ploy-
Thats ok, you can leave.
And thanks for the information.
I aint gave you no information.
I know that,You know that, BUT your boss doesn’t know that, he will probably believe what I told him.
Bye Now)

“happy ending”

I disagree. That comment would be appropriate if he was killed in the commission of a crime, preferably by an armed citizen or law enforcement PRIOR to any other person being killed or hurt.

In this instance, the man in question was evidently minding his own business at a halfway house. He was a criminal in the past, he may or may not have been planning another crime. For all we know, he actually wanted to start over after receiving commutation.

Instead, a couple of thugs decided to settle a score or eliminate a potential threat by holding people at gunpoint, finding this guy, and executing him.

Nothing to celebrate until the two killers are found and executed in accordance with the law.

I don’t consider this justice.

Justice would have been the original sentence.

Obama screwed justice up big time. Again.
