I want you to pay close attention to the first sentence of this story from ABC News: The motive behind a gunman's vicious attack at a Connecticut beer distributor that left nine dead has become clearer today after a description of the dramatic phone call the shooter reportedly made to his mother immediately after his rampage.
Where to begin? This tripe was written by three, count 'em three so-called reporters: Emily Friedman, Lee Ferran and Ned Potter.
What was "reportedly" said during a call that someone "reportedly" made does not make ANYTHING clearer. And, of course, who is the non-biased person who witnessed the call?
"I killed the five racists that was there bothering me," 34-year-old Omar S. Thornton said, according to his uncle, Will Holliday, ABC News' affiliate WABC reported.
Oh, that clears it up. I guess we need another discussion on race. Or a beer summit. It's a shame Omar Thornton is dead because we could get Obama to give him a furlough from prison to attend the beer summit. There's one problem, though. He'd probably steal the beer. Don't believe me? Well, he's done it before:
Montminy declined to say what led to Thornton's termination, but sources said that he was caught on video stealing beer from the distributor.
I guess unions all over will be using this incident to reinforce the dangers that could happen when a union member is let go. I still can't get over the fact that a union member was actually fired.
Thornton had complained for a long time about racial harassment, and claimed he had pictures in his cell phone of the N-word and a hangman's noose scrawled on a bathroom wall at Hartford Distributors, said Joanne Hannah, who said she was the mother of Thornton's girlfriend.
If Thornton would have offered his evidence to the Teamsters Union in the form of the actual PICTURES or the hangman's noose, he wouldn't have been fired. So the question remains: Will the police view the contents of his phone during their investigation?
In all sincerity, my prayers go out to the families of the victims.
