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.

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.

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

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

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.

Obviously if his coworkers and employer had a problem with him, their concerns were justified.

Too many black people have a permanent chip on their shoulders.
