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.

I have no doubt he was caught doing that red-handed. I’m just sayin’ that there may have been more than JUST that going on. For all we know, the “stealing of beer” was his first response to the racism he is claiming he endured and getting fired for it caused him to ramp it up.

I’m not saying it is what happened. Rather, I am saying it is possible and, frankly, plausible. But I couldn’t say any more than that because there are no facts revealed to strengthen or weaken it.

BTW, his “handled the problem” must be taken in the context of what he then did coupled with what is known about his personality in general. It actually adds credibility to his claim.

Again, to be clear, what he did was clearly wrong, even if everything he claims is true.
