Joanne Hannah told the Hartford Courant her daughter Kristi had dated Thornton for eight years. Thornton, who is black, had complained about being racially harassed at work, Hannah said. Thornton complained to his superiors, who did nothing about it, she said her daughter told her.

Expect to see a lot more violence motivated by layoffs as people get a reality check of how hopeless the market will be for awhile.

Can’t condone it, but can sure see it coming to places. Also usually lots of copycats after these.

Contrast this entitlement society with the depression and how people coped. I don't remember reading any history of people shooting up places. But I agree, with the new entitlement mindset of our society I expect a lot more of this.

So, let me get this straight, the POS who has had discipline problems decides to go into work to discuss his resignation and blows away 8 co workers?

I love the racial harrassment argument which is always brought up. I guess expecting a days work for a days pay is racist these days too.

Unbelieveable.

I think company policy from here out would be for managment to carry shot guns at work.

Apparently people are waiting for word at a local high school right across the street from where I live about family members who were employees.

Statements like that piss me off. There is never any excuse for this, but you can bet the MSM will try to play it that way, and in the end, it will legitimize taking that action in the minds of others.

IMO, companies should either be forced to hire armed security or allow citizens with licenses to carry on the job or else be liable for any murders that take place due to having their employees being open targets.
