HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- The man who went on a shooting rampage at a beer distributor calmly told a 911 operator that it was "a racist place" and that he had taken matters into his own hands and "handled the problem."

Omar Thornton, 34, called 911 after shooting 10 co-workers - eight fatally - on Tuesday morning at Hartford Distributors. He introduced himself as "the shooter over in Manchester" and said he was hiding in the building, but would not say where......

AP, NY Times, every TV network who own all the TV channels will blame racism. Same reaction to the muslim mass murderer. Keep watching TV and keep watching Hollywood movies because your money supports this madness.

It has been going on a LONG time in sports TV programming and advertising which constantly runs ads with the stupid white guy.

When the entire world-view of the current occupant and his wife are that everyone is out to get them for their half-skin color, and they incessantly racemonger the nation, incidents like this will only increase.

I by no means think his actions were justified, but I would not be a bit surprised to find out his claims are true. I’ve seen it myself. One really does need to consider how far one pushes other people. You never know...

I’m sure he made the “Nation of Islam” proud.

Omar was a vicious anti semite.

I was taught to man up and let it roll off my back like water off a duck.

They neglected to report when he yelled ‘Allah Akbar’.

From the newspaper account:

Thornton went on his rampage moments after he was forced to resign when confronted with video evidence that he had been stealing and reselling beer.

It is, of course, blatantly racist to fire somebody for ripping off the company.

Or perhaps he is just a worthless liar.
We know he was a murderer and a thief, so why wouldn’t we believe he lied and simply had it out for whitey out of pure evil and spite?

Huh? This chart is from a year ago, and it's gotten MUCH worse for men since then. It's clear there's an all out assault of purging the workplace of MEN. Any race issues are secondary to what's being done to the "male worker".

Yes. Me too. But not everyone handles it that way. I’m not sayin’ this guy had a grievance. I’m saying it is technically possible it is just as bad as he said and, being a child (unable to man-up), he responded the only way he knew how.

Again, I am only saying it is, in fact, possible. It is also relatively common, still.

Who gives a sh** if there was racism(which I would bet there wasn’t), that doesn’t justify killing 8 people.

Ever notice how we Jews who suffered something at least a little similar never went into a place and started shooting everyone in sight? Did the Irish ever shoot up places with "Irish Need Not Apply" signs? Do the Pollocks (Am I allowed to say that?) go on shooting rampages when someone in the office tells a Polish joke? I'm just askin'.
