NEW HAVEN, Conn. – To those closest to him, Omar Thornton was caring, quiet and soft-spoken. He was excited to land a well-paying job at a beer delivery company a few years ago and his longtime girlfriend says they talked of marrying and having children.
But underneath, Thornton seethed with a sense of racial injustice for years that culminated in a shooting rampage Tuesday in which the Connecticut man killed eight and wounded two others at his job at Hartford Distributors in Manchester before killing himself.
"I know what pushed him over the edge was all the racial stuff that was happening at work," said his girlfriend, Kristi Hannah.

I wonder what the media’s take would be if it was a white who shot up a mostly-black business. “We must understand the hatred directed at this man!” Riiiight.
There are over 28,000 comments at the article. WOW
You know the article is BS when they included this line. I can believe the "having children" bit, but I can't believe the "marrying" part...
They had him on film stealing and fired him.
No reporting about the lives of the eight people he murdered as if he was the victim. I listened to sirens wailing continuously for 30 minutes and for much of the morning, along with people being consoled at a high school across the street from where I live because this fruitcake went a cold blooded rampage.
Oh, I can believe he had a “sense” of racial injustice. I’m also sure he saw any criticism as racism. After all, that’s what the race baiters teach.
BTW, that sure sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Hint: Listen to obama and the SRM talking about obama.
All douchebags play the race card these days....
The camera was racist?
“But underneath, Thornton seethed with a sense of racial injustice for years that culminated in a shooting rampage Tuesday in which the Connecticut man killed eight and wounded two others at his job at Hartford Distributors in Manchester before killing himself.”
“Thornton, 34, went on his killing spree moments after he was forced to resign when confronted with video evidence that he had been stealing and reselling beer.”
Racial injustice is just the Cracka making the Black man accountable for his actions.
The headline is a lie. It states as fact that which is merely alleged by someone with a vested interest in excusing the murderer’s crimes.
And those racist Honkeys made him steal that beer! He was lucky to have the job in the first place. This was a guy with a sense of racial entitlement and huge chip on his shoulder.
Even Whorealdo Rivera trashed that POS Thornton on BOR’s show.
That was the most accurate description of a low-life I recall ever hearing from a someone in the media.
A comment from the site. We's in trouble, folks.
“Even Whorealdo Rivera trashed that POS Thornton on BOR’s show. That was the most accurate description of a low-life I recall ever hearing from a someone in the media.”
Same here...I was shocked that it came out of Whorealdo’s mouth!
Here’s a new one those guys probably forget ~ Someone probably called him a GUINEA!
It was probably black and white. ;-)
Why didn’t the a**hat take it to the courts then? Are the news media seriously suggesting that this shooting was justifiable because someone showed racism towards the shooter? Who gives a rat’s a** if there was racism involved, BTW, the only racism I see is the racism of a black thief towards his white employers.
...stealing AND SELLING beer, isn’t he breaking federal law buying selling without a license?
