This is so messed up! And for what real reason?

I heard on the radio some were saying he was being harassed racially. Pathetic, no excuse. Too bad the people couldn't fight back, what a coward.

I just "heard " on my local news that he was brought in today for a diciplinary meeting and was terminated. What a mess is for real

Conn. Warehouse Gunman Told 911: I 'Handled the Problem' at 'Racist Place'

HARTFORD, Conn. -- The man who went on a shooting rampage at a beer distributor calmly told a 911 operator that it was "a racist place" and that he had taken matters into his own hands to "handle the problem." Omar Thornton, 34, called 911 after shooting 10 co-workers -- eight fatally -- on Tuesday morning at Hartford Distributors. He introduced himself as "the shooter over in Manchester" and said he was hiding in the building, but would not say where.
"You probably want to know the reason why I shot this place up," he said, his voice steady. "This place is a racist place. They treat me bad over here. They treat all the black employees bad over here, too.
"So I took into my own hands and handled the problem," he said. "I wish I could have got more of the people."
