THE REST OF THE STORY>>>>>> BOTTOM LINE IS THE BLACK GUY DID NOT HAVE HIS KEY FOB TO ALLOWED IN AND SHE CALLED HIM ON THIS. HE WAS SLIPPING INTO THIS CONDO BUILDING.

Thornton has now spoken out about the ordeal, telling KTVI-TV that her neighbor didn’t have an electronic key fob and forced his way inside.

She said she had the front door cracked to let her dog use the bathroom when Toles approached and tried to get into the building.

Thornton claims she was only following the condo board’s instructions to not allow strangers inside when she repeatedly asked whether he lived there.

‘I simply asked if he lived there because the direction from the association is… that if you don’t know the person, you don’t let them in,’ she said.

Thornton said she told Toles she couldn’t let him in and asked if he had a security key fob.

‘It’s the only indicator any resident has that they live in the building and he wouldn’t answer me. He would not show me one,’ she said.

In the video, Toles can be heard saying: ‘You’re blocking me into my building, it’s my building as well, so can you just get out of my way. I live here and your blocking my way. I’ve already buzzed in.’

Thornton, who says she’s been getting death threats since the video went viral, has denied she is racist.

‘That’s false and heartbreaking. Those are words that cut deep,’ she said of the claims she is racist.

So the rules don’t apply to him. That sounds an awful lot like privilege.

This is where we are, People.

Eight years of 0bama and his Race Baiting shoved us further down a rat hole. *SPIT*

We in America used to laugh at those in the Middle East, threatening ‘Death To America!’ or Death for Blasphemy!! over the slightest provocation. Now it’s becoming more common in this country; issuing Fatwas, American Style. Usually over some political difference. Usually over someone sitting on their high horse of morality and ‘feeling aggrieved’.
We best be careful about what displays of anger are being tolerated or encouraged.

After Toles opened his front door with a key, Thornton could be heard saying: 'As a record, I just want to say hi, what is your name?'

Police responded about 30 minutes later after being called by Thornton but they didn't cite anyone.

Being that he unlocked the door to his own apartment, it appears that he must have had a key.

Now, why did Miss. Thronton call the police?

If her claim holds up she could sue her employer.

BTW, the first one to bring up race is the racist.

A better description would be that a tennant/owner saw someone they did not know trying to “tailgate” into the building and followed building policy.

Race doesn’t enter into it.

She needs to get a good lawyer and sue for her job back. People who care about truth, decency, and fighting reverse racism need to support her. If she must branch out on her own, she needs to be supported and be called on to buy and sell property for Conservative minded people.

She said she had the front door cracked to let her dog use the bathroom...

If doggie is so well trained he uses the bathroom, why not the one in her own unit?

She needs a lawyer. Her employer fired her for following the rules. This guy set her up, videotaped it, and made himself look like a victim.

Nope.

The gentleman buzzed himself in... if the woman was scared she could have done any number of things from calling police on her phone or at least apologizing once he put HIS KEY IN HIS DOOR to let himself into HIS HOME.

She tailed him for almost 5 minutes in the original video... just a bunch of stupid drama.

On the original thread, most folks here jumped to the guy's defense............

Having lived in an apartment building for 23 years, I would have done the same thing..........

From the start it struck me that she was doing exactly what apartment residents are constantly told to do.

I wonder how many crimes are committed in a year due to residents letting criminals slip through security behind them?

Seinfeld: Season 9, Episode 14: Due to recent robberies in the building, Jerry refuses to let a stranger in the front door, but things get awkward when he learns that the man is his neighbor who did not have his key on him.
