This story reminds me of the time animal rights activists broke into a mink farm to free the minks. Who died.
Obama set out to free a whole lot of drug dealers. But some of the drug dealers might have been better off in prison. Like Demarlon Thomas.
A Michigan man whose drug-related prison sentence was commuted by former President Barack Obama was shot dead this week at a federal halfway house, according to local media reports.
Demarlon Thomas, 31, was shot and killed on Monday night by a man with an assault-style rifle in Saginaw, Michigan, around 100 miles (160 km) northwest of Detroit, according to local CBS affiliate WNEM.
Two masked men with assault-style rifles entered the facility where around two dozen people were staying, Michigan State Police Lt. David Kaiser told local news website MLive.com.
"One person watched over a group of them while another subject located the victim and executed him," Kaiser said, according to the website. "They were looking for this person."
No one else was injured in the attack, Kaiser said.
Thomas was sentenced to 19 years in prison in 2008 for distribution of cocaine after being caught in a three-year federal investigation called "Operation Sunset," aimed at taking down Saginaw's Sunny Side Gang, the website reported.
His sentence commuted by Obama in November as part of a larger commutation of 79 sentences, MLive.com said.
So much for that.
Much of the "gun violence" in this country consists of gang members shooting each other. Thomas would have lived longer in prison. But the left doesn't care about facts when it comes to crime. The only bad guys it can imagine are police officers. And presumably crime victims who file complaints with the police.
