Racial harassment claimed by perp. Isn’t it time for Eric Holder to open an investigation? Wouldn’t be surprised if it happens.

I agree.

Looking at the surface facts in this case, this guy must have been some gem for the union to allow its member to come in to resign. He must have been a real loser and worse he was probably one of those affirmative action hires in the first place.

"Need the shooter’s picture."

Also, why no middle name for this killer? Are white killers the only ones whose full names are published?

Statements like that piss me off.

Like what?

There is never any excuse for this,

Nope. We used to be a society of adults.

it will legitimize taking that action in the minds of others.

TV and pop culture have fostered the "Me first! It's all about me!" mindset.

I can’t imagine what kind of stuff a black person has to do to get laid off from a union job, unless it’s like a 20% across the board thing.

To single someout out in that area, of that race, in a union means he must’ve been up for ‘world’s worst employee’ award. And I bet he still might’ve only gotten a talking-to.

Connecticut gun control regulations assure that it is a free-fire zone for deranged mass murderers.

I don’t think any of the posters on this thread need to “race” it up, leave that to the SanFransico Chronicle they seem to be doing a fine job of it.

The POS had an assault rifle, 223 caliber from what the police are saying.

Not only a POS but a steaming POS IMO. Hope he rots in hell.

Unconfirmed, but I’m pretty sure that’s him. For those with facebook, interesting fan/like pages.

Sounds almost like the odumbo loving professor who murdered her brother in 1986, then shot the board members at her tenure appeals hearing. Afterwards, instead of shooting herself, she calmly called her husband for a ride home

That would probably be the wisest thing to do.

Connecticut rots in the Permit to Carry rights. They make you run through hoops of fire, training classes, fees, waiting, annoyance.

Blacks demand to be ‘treated with respect’ by white officials or ordinary white citizens. But evidently this ‘respect’ deal isn’t a two way street. Who knew. The ‘respect’ demand is trotted out every time a black person gets caught breaking the law, and it works. Police and others back off. You’d think they were dealing with Obama. Connect the dots. Also, the new demand is reparations on a grand scale. That’s coming down the pike at full speed.
