“He said, ‘I killed the five racists that was there bothering me,’” said Will Holliday, Thornton’s uncle. “He said, ‘That’s it. The cops are going to come in so I’m going to take care of it myself.’”
Holliday said Thornton had been complaining to relatives that in several years he worked at Hartford Distributors he was confronted with blatant racism.
Holliday said, “He had some instances of racism at the company. They were hanging nooses in the bathroom and writing stuff like that. They were singling him out because he was the only black person there in that area.”

Was it a Budweiser distributorship owned by a family member of Jesse Jackson?
This is a teachable moment. We need to have a beer summit. /sarc
doesn’t surprise me at all.
If anyone here lives in this area, ping me with any news if you don’t mind.
I’d like to follow this if possible.
It’s really sad that things are escalating at such a rapid pace.
Well, obviously his family deserves a billion dollars in compensation from the beer distributor. Those white crackers who took the bullets deserved it. (SARCASM).
What a world
Hard to believe this was an incident about race at this day and age with most places like this are union. It’s been 35 years since I work in a company under the union and back then you would not have seen racist tolerance.
Metrosexuals don’t drink Bud.
I will bet that he was an “honor student”....here in Atlanta, whenever a black gets charged with a crime, invariably they are described as an “honor student”....LOL...and then they interview his mamma or auntie who says “DeShaun would never have done nothin’ like this”.....
Obviously having figured out a way to make it fit the Narrative.
...obviously haven’t...

Sir, you are a GENIUS!
I would love to see an exchange like that on tv. I would fall out of my chair laughing.
Just had a killing York PA - white kid in law school shot in the back by black. Not a had crime says police and the DA.
They are calling it a botched robbery gone bad. Yet the papers are saying the white kid was sitting on a bench on a cell phone minding his own business when shot. Somebody is BSing somebody.
Welcome to Ubama World.
Then they are morons.
Obama, Holder et al are simply following the Alinsky playbook to the letter.
Destroying America by destroying the economy.
Making people dependent on handouts from the government.
Sending out SEIU goons to stir up and agitate wherever necessary.
Refusing to control our out of control invasion of illegals and drug smugglers.
And the despicable actions by militant mexican protesters, charges of racism and the homosexual agenda is designed to bring chaos rather than unity to the country.
It's all there in the Alinsky playbook, nothing new here.
You’re correct in your diagnosis. A neighbor was killed on Easter night a few years ago after a crazy black man he had once worked with ‘remembered’ some supposedly racial joke the victim had told over ten years prior. The crazed black man hired a PI to look up his old boss’s address and shot the victim dead at point black range with a semi-auto 38 as soon as the victim was called to the door by his wife.
The victim was long retired, a happy man, beloved by all who knew him and no one ever knew him to tell such jokes, nor did anyone who had worked with them at that job. He was white.
The diagnosis you made is similar to that used by the dozens of one-off self-trained jihadis we’ve had in the US since 9/11. The same motivation — Islam is the RELIGION of instilling murderous insanities and rages as a ‘victim’ of Infidels in Allah’s pure world.
The victims of these Jihadis tend to be Jewish, but can include any Christian, or just ‘Americans’ in general — viz Fort Hood.
Notice also when they go through the litany of mass murderers, they never mention Colin Ferguson?
Hmm. I don't exactly follow these stories but I did live near Manchester for several years and it's been hard to avoid hearing about this whenever the news came on. But this is the first I hear that the murderer was black. I guess they just left that part out of the newscasts.

That’s a great example.
