SAGINAW, MI -- Police say two masked gunmen with assault-style rifles entered a federal halfway house Monday night with a specific goal: the "execution" of a man recently released from prison at the behest of former President Barack Obama.

Yeah. I'll bet the first thought that crossed his mind when he saw the masked gunman was literally "Why did you have to release me early Obama? Why did you do this to me?" Right?

Oh wait, that's the alternate reality that delusional right wing crackpots would spout. Like yourself.

I saw this earlier. I'd guess his former homies decided he must have snitched on them for his early release...and maybe he did.

They definitely went in after him:

Thomas, 31, was shot in the head and numerous other times by one of the gunmen as his partner corralled at gunpoint some of the other 23 people in the house, Kaiser said.

"One person watched over a group of them while another subject located the victim and executed him," Kaiser said. "They were looking for this person."

Why does the article keep putting the word "executed" in quotation marks?

 

[PokerGuy]

Man, that looks like some serious payback for something. Hard to say someone would have been better off not having his sentence commuted, but for this guy prison might have been the safest place.....

Perhaps since he was in prision people might think he was executed by the government.

Looks like justice finds a way. Looks like he really screwed somebody over... " Gang Member " kind of says it all.

This literally just happened a block away from my house. A guy from Evanston was out on parole for murder. For whatever reason came to the chi. He parked, got out, and had two dudes roll up on him quick. Like 10+ shots

Sort of takes care of itself but lots of bullets flying around here right now.

In all, "Operation Sunset" saw 29 convictions in federal court and 10 in state court and effectively brought about the end of the Sunny Side Gang, which operated on Saginaw's South Side.

I would say that maybe the gang is still in business. What with the execution and all?

Did the guy talk or something? Why did they kill somebody who went to jail? Probably meant he DIDN'T talk.

That's not justice. That's murder.

First of all, people can refuse the commutation (at least one person did actually because one of the strings attached is a requirement to attend substance abuse counseling). If this guy was legitimately worried about being executed, he'd have refused.

Secondly, this was an unpredictable event and in no way means you shouldn't be reducing unfair sentences. Everything in life has a certain failure rate. Its a matter of where you draw the line.

I dont know, but it was a legitimate straight up execution.

No response to my point. Got it, thanks.

Whatever... Gang Member...

To understand the meta-story here, it's necessary to understand how conservative minds work, namely the importance of the "both sides" narrative. As you might've notice, there's been quite some shit news out for Trump, so they need a win so to speak for fairness and balance. So instead of chalking it up to coincidence it's necessary to push something like this to front page news, so there's "negative" Obama stories in there to mix with the Trump ones.

Now, they aren't so stupid as to believe this is actually anything more, but are obliged do their part for the cause.

 

[trenchfoot]

Yep, this all on Obama. Yep, sure it was it sure was. You bet'cha.

lol

Two armed men entered a federal halfway house to perform a hit. That's hardcore.

I thought that the narrative was that those released were small time guys who may have made a mistake.

This dude wasn't just some lil smuck who got caught with a couple of joints his was rollin with the big dogs.

Back when I used heroin it was my choice, no drug dealers forced me to use. Can't blame drug dealers for people using drugs. Do you blame Anheuser Busch for drunks? I guess your right all the CEOs should go to prison for distributing all that death and despair too.
