Alleged Shooter: I Killed The Racists
WFSB Channel 3 ^

Posted on 08/03/2010 6:30:10 PM PDT by Blue Turtle

“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.”

What? This is definitely the guns fault. The gun belongs in jail for sure. Damn gun. Gun was probably racist too.

When you visit the papers in the area check the video of the mother.

Besides being a monster he was a flat out liar. If he had real evidence of nooses or racism he could of easily hired a lawyer for nothing and sued for enough money that would keep in beer, cigarettes and dope forever.

“A lot of blacks are already proclaiming this guy a hero.”

Basis for this comment?
Link to story?

As far as the noose story(which I think is BS), I don’t care if there was a noose on his locker everyday, this will never justify this animals actions.
And if the alleged racism was so blatant, do you think for a minute he wouldn’t have sued years ago?

Revs Jackson and Sharpton will be demanding that their bullet-ridden corpses be put on trial for hate crimes.

Here it comes...

By the time they are done, this beer distributor will appears as one big clan meeting....

EAST HARTFORD — Omar Thornton's family had heard he was having problems at his job at Hartford Distributors in Manchester. But he was so soft-spoken and laid-back that no one knew how much of an impact the problems were having on him.

"I never in a million years — I'm still waiting for someone to wake me up because I cannot believe this. Not him," said Theresa Billie, 32, who said she was his cousin.

Deep down I think they are. The provocation is unmistakable. It’s been systematic. They are desperate for someone to lash out back.

The company and the relatives of the deceased vicims could and should sue these “friends and relatives of the shooter” for defamation. Criminal, but definitely civil charges should be filed. Screw them.

Hollander tells the AP that Thornton was caught on videotape stealing beer several
times. He says Thornton did not contest it or get angry, and chose to quit rather than being fired.

Then, he pulled out a gun and started shooting. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100803/ap_on_re_us/us_beer_distributor_shootings

The Hollander family have owned this distributor of beer and wine for many year’s. The people running the business now are still Hollander’s grandchildren.
They are a giving family to Hartford for year’s and thought of very highly.

IIRC, I don’t think dead people can have suits for libel or slander brought on their behalf. The company, yes. Living people, yes.

Hopefully the town and all the co-workers will come out in support of them....

That being said, the family of the shooter, are making some very serious allegations and seem to be directly blaming this on racist treatment by management and co-workers. Hopefully, they won't be supported by any of the co-workers.

Exactly, this idea that 'racism' somehow justifies murder is not only scary but pathetic and indicative of just how sick a society we are. If they can justify this they can justify anything all in the name 'racism'. Whites will be at the mercy of PC justice.

What about all those racist Tea Partiers? What should we do with them? Racism is in the eye of the beholder. That is how it currently works mainly because most whites are PC droids. White people better get their heads out of their rear ends.

If he had been white - it would be on TV 24x7 on every channel. Keep watching TV folks - keep supporting the regime. Fox/Saudia is only marginally better.

You could not be any more correct...Countless times, we've seen blacks beat people senseless, and kill people when they're only defense, was, "He said a racist word to me".
