“Because he was a minority, both management and union probably decided that they had to follow every rule to a T...”

Nailed. THe good old law of unintended consequences.

Can I say that I purposely stay away from hiring “minorities” for this very reason?

Why, yes. Yes I can.

I suspect the shooter really did think he was being discriminated against.

I agree. When you are raised and taught from a child that all white people are out to get you; to keep you back; and to put you down -- this poison takes its effect. Your mind has become 'wired' to hate, and to see offenses and slights at every corner.
Unfortunately that is the state of these United States. The public schools, media, and communities spread this theme - and it poisons generations.

The only real message comes from the Gospel - we are all sinners that need to repent, and come to (and to serve) the only one who can save us.

they had videotape that showed this guy stealing beer, so why didn’t they call the POLICE and have him ARRESTED by trained professionals

You don't really think the cops would show up...do you?

Hubby said he’s been noticing something at work and it seems everytime smethig comes up with oe of the black employees now all of a sudden it is “racism”.For example one of the bid jobs into his dept had 3 spots open and 9 or 10 applicants.Only 6 passed the test.They then go and look at work record for the past 2-3 years and weed out those who miss too much work.3 had a less than steller work record and were told that if they cleaned up their work record they could reapply in the future.The one black guy went running to the NAACP over it.He still didn’;t get the job but I think he killed any future chance at it thught.

If so many otherwise mentally healthy black people cry “racism” when it doesn’t exist, what do we make of a mentally ill black person who claims the same?

he said he killed the 5 racist who bothered him.

I count 9 dead, so I guess the 4 other people he killed will be justified because they got in the while he was seeking justice.

Yesterday’s reports said something about there being drawings depicting lynching in the locker room and that mangement wasn’t doing anything about it.

This report makes it look like the guy had no provocatoin at all.

The other 4 were probably white, so they probably deserved it anyway. /s

yes in hindsight they should have called the cops. Lots of businesses prefer to handle things in house and want to just get rid of the guy and save the hassle of involving the police. Kind of a just go away and we wont call the cops kind of thing.

El Cid, the same is seen in my experience.
If even the slightest thing doesn't go a black person's way...the tired old racism excuse is dusted-off and dropped onto the table.
This boring and absurd charge no longer carries any impact.
Probably got overused the 6,827,732nd
time it was mentioned.

That line of thinking may change now huh?
