0803-Hartford-Distributors-shooting.jpg_full_600

A gunman opened fire early Tuesday morning during a shift change at Hartford Distributors, a beer distributorship near Hartford, Connecticut, and ABC News has been told that nine people, including the gunman, have died.

Conn. police say several people were fired upon at a beer distribution company.

The suspect was identified as 34-year-old Omar S. Thornton, according to John Hollis of the Connecticut Teamsters Union, of which Thornton was a member. Police said Thornton opened fire before turning his gun on himself. A spokesman said police never fired their own guns.

    Before rushing to judgment here, I think it’s important to understand all the facts in this case. According to family members, this guy was receiving severe racial harrassment from co-workers and supervisors. Took his concerns and PHOTO proof to management and nothing was done. Noose’s drawn on the wall, the word “NIGG>ER” scrawled on the wall, supervisors threatening to get rid of him (he actually overheard and taped that conversation). I’m watching CNN and of course the word “angry” has been used several times, even though there is no actual proof of that. One thing that makes no sense to me. They are saying that they caught him stealing and called him and gave him the option of resigning or quitting. Not sure if that’s a Union thing, but since when does an employer give you that option when they allegedly can prove you have been stealing?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    At the end of the day though, violence shouldn’t be the answer, but it’s just a damn shame that his union REP couldn’t have been more instrumental in dealing with this situation so this unfortunate incident could have been avoided.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/odoggz/ odoggz

    his violence in inexcusable, but where did you get that info about the proof and all that, that he had?

    What a shame my prayers out to the victims and their family. No job on earth is worth anyones piece of mind its a shame his s**tty union wasnt there for him but I bet they had no problems collecting their dues. They could have atleast deesclate this situtation.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    @doggz. I did follow up by saying the violence is not the answer, but his ex girlfriends mother was outlined all the abuse. She said he has pictures on his camera. As far as the violence is concerned, like any human being, you have to be real careful how much you continue to push buttons. Never know the mental state of people. By all accounts, this dude was very mild mannered and never displayed any anger. Even his union REP said the same thing, based on interviews he conducted with this man’s co-workers. Got to be careful how you handle people.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jazzwatch/ jazzwatch

    _A_ I wish the bosses and those so-called liberals would stop being so racist towards US, but those creeps couldn’t say those things to him because he would had kicked their asees, but they had to badmouth him in the bathroom stall, harass him, saying all those racist s**t behind his back (such pussies), but he shouldn’t had shot all those people, innocent or not (and MANY people/families lives have changesd)! I bet that state will be careful HOW to treat Blacks in that lily white town or ANY town, which I doubt….
    I worked at my LAST job with a*****es like that, and they really didn’t care about me; just those who WASN’t born in the USA like me….I’m glad my supervisor was fired (he WAS a racist coward who comnfronted a lady and was gonna get his ass kicked by that woman), and somehow someway these authority figure gonna learn(what goes around comes around) one way or another that you should f**k with GOOD people, especially those (US) who are mild mannered ……..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    @jazzwatch. This thing is a lot more prevalent than we realize. We only hear about these things when they reach this point. If you recall Colin Ferguson who took the LIRR back in the mid 90′s and killed 6 whites riding the train. He claimed the same unrelenting harrassment from white co workers and struck out. The thing is, striking out like that is real unfortunate which only results in a lot of suffering with the remaining family members. This is why, respect for the next man is paramount, and actually liking the person shouldn’t have to be a prerequisite.

    I was thinking the samething, why didn’t they just fire him if they had proof that he was stealing?

    New Trend: Black men who kill over racism !!!

    It is not about any individual it is about the survival of the Afrikan collective. Anything other than that will continue to keep Afrikans worldwide in a cocoon of White Supremacy and its modality ‘Racism’.

    Black people in the United States live in a country that has the most powerful military and police force in the world. Black people in America live in a turbulent and racist country, which was built on criminality, murder and exploitation. The society is dominated by Caucasians, armed to the teeth with weapons, for purposes of murder, mass destruction and “protection”. In this place, Black people are profiled, segregated, discriminated against and oppressed. Now here?s the big catch… if any Black person dares to stand up for themselves or their people, they are called militant. Go figure!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/AfricanSpeech/ AfricanSpeech

    Truth will out…

    Not condoning what this dude did at all BUT…

    White workers have been killing people for years, sometimes for no justification.

    But for a black dude to just kill co-workers for no reason is not the full story and I ain’t buying it… I knew there was more to this story than was initially let on…

    Not every black person can take the shyt being meted out by white people or other coworkers be they white or not… Some will snap and deal with it in this way and others will quit or kill themselves or take them the court…

    The bottomline is to treat people with respect and genuine kindness and fairness… It is such a basic concept to grasp and a lot of employers and workplaces still can’t seem to get it…

    Most folks respond well to fairness so treat everybody fairly… It’s that simple…

    You will start to see the coverage of this case be less about the racism angle, and more focused on the ANGRY BLACKMAN “theory,” from major news outlets. And for those of you who think it’s just FOX, Rick Sanchez on CNN was cutting everyone off last night that would talk about that part of the case. For those who haven’t seen the girlfriends mother interview.

    “It’s got nothing to do with race,” said Teamsters official Christopher Roos, according to The Associated Press. “This is a disgruntled employee who shot a bunch of people.”— enough said. NOT CONDONING HIS ACTIONS AT ALL! Ppl lost mothers, daughters, fathers, brothers etc. my prayers go out to the victims and their families. But you see how the media put the racist spin on this? its crazy how when a “minority” does harm to a “caucasian” its racist. BUT when “caucasians” hang neuces off trees that “minorities” relax under, its just a prank. THEN when those same “caucasian” get beat up by the same “minorities” that they (“caucasian”) were attacking. its goes right back to racism. Kanye said it best “racism still alive, they just be concealing it…” God bless the familes of all those involved.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/crammasters/ crammasters

    @ A

    brother, one thing we DO know for certain is the mainstream media is NOT going to give us the real deal, not where race and racism is concerned. There is no way in HELL they’re going to allow any black person to be the “victim” where racism is concerned.
    —-
    I have no doubt that he experienced what he said he experienced, because the girlfriend’s mother said he was always complaining about it — BEFORE the killings took place.

    ANYBODY with two eyes, ears, and a functioning brain who has worked with whites know the brother ain’t lying about that. Some places are better and some are worse, but RACISM is a constant at most workplaces….

    never said he was right, I’m saying racism in the workplace will be increasing because as jobs become more scarce, whites will become more hostile whenever they see one of US with a job one of THEM could have — especially something that pays more than minimum wage…

    just make sure you have a better way of dealing with the racism on the job than allowing the pressure to make you kill and self-destruct, like this brother did..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/crammasters/ crammasters

    anybody know if his girlfriend was white? Her name made she think she might be…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/n0gar/ n0gar

    This is the type of thing that we need to see more of from black males. Whites discriminate, you complain and they just say “we don’t tolerate this” or “we’ll look into this” and then hope that you don’t say anything again. Too many black males shoot each other, it is good to see some black males taking the initiative and letting the white man have it for a change!

    See, when you pop a peckerwood, it will make the next one think before he or she wants to be racist. When all they expect from you is a march or Al or Jesse, it does not make them stop because they expect to still be alive and for you to still be in your position. When you put a bullet in their brains, the next wonders what you will do if they decided to vocalize their racism.

    So this is a good act by this black man to see negroes finally letting the white man have it. Now… This guy dated white women and I know the blacks guys who do this look for approval and validation as a man from whites by doing this. Having a white get’s you security from white men. Maybe he saw that the racism was still there when he expected it to be gone?

    People always think that someone is crazy when they do these things but someone could just be pissed. When black guys kill each other on the streets, no one says that people are crazy these days, they say that “niggas is stupid” or “that’s the way it is in the hood.” It is good that black males can finally take out their frustrations on the true enemy. 8 whites for one black life. That is a good trade off.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/drewms1/ drewms1

    I also find it hard to beleive that if you have proof of me stealing, then why would you bring me in and request that i resign or quit. There’s more to it than that and the brotha was just feed up with their s**t. a lot of blacks aren’t comfortable reporting this type of abuse because those they report to are in cohoots with the abuser(s). I don’t condone what he did but its similar to blacks are beginning to kill cops. We are tired of being f**ked with and these ass-clowns are reaping what they sow. What amazes me is they constantly talk about how blk men are in prison and unemployeed, but what statistics doesn’t show is the disparity in the workplace and the elaborate schemes to intentionally fire and harass blacks and then say “they’re all lazy and don’t wonta work”.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/1914quetip/ 1914quetip

    Look at the location? Connecticut, Mass, all those Northeastern states are no different then Mississppi, Alabama, Louisiana when it comes to racist whites. The brothers are picking up alot of white peoples serial killing habits and random killing ways, but the random killing victims are bring it on themselves!! They didn’t expect the brother to wack them and then hisself. Its a new day white america!! Leave our people alone, okay?

    Those of you who suggest that black men should get angry and start killing white people. That’s your solution?

Oh there’s a solution. You people are a bunch of high functioning retards.

    Some of you are really showing your sick and disgusting racism here. There’s no excuse or spin that could possibly justify this kind of violence…none. If you want to claim you have an ounce of intellect…you can’t be convenient and ignorant only when it suits your ridiculous agenda

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sexycristal31_family/ sexycristal31_family

    thats just wrong the man was on video tape stealing period
    he came prepared to kill and thats what he did

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/easy_one65/ easy_one65

    Obviously, dude had some ‘unresolved’ anger issues that were suppressed or never taken care of. That’s why he killed himself after killing the others. Black or white, Latino or Asian, male or female, these are indeed very, very tough times. You cannot predict how ‘anyone’ is going to react with a job loss, which starts a domino effect on one’s whole life’s demise. Some people are not strong and do need help. This is why it’s so important that we pay attention to the ‘clues’ and ‘queues’ people in the workplace give us…most for their protection more than our own. No one wants to see tragic situations like this in these times. But…it is a reminder of the sincerity of the business of getting our workforce back on a productive level. There’s no excuse for what he did. Based on principle, stealing is wrong. There could have been some resolve to his charges for claims of racism, or he could have sought alternatives himself. There are enough organizations, self-help groups and healthcare programs he could have utilized, some of which are financially supported by his own union fees.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/crammasters/ crammasters

    I’m not justifying what the brother did, but just for a little balance here, check out the comments from whites who are blaming Obama and the NAACP and blacks in general for the actions of ONE BLACK MAN — despite this kind of crime is usually committed by WHITE PEOPLE

    http://abcnews.go.com/US/shooting-connecticut-beer-distributor-shooter-driver-disciplinary-hearing/story?id=11313457

    here’s a few examples:

    “I blame Obama for not setting a better example on violence and race.”

    “The kicker is, and its’ become more and more common is that when being held accountable for wrongdoing; i.e., stealing from the company he worked for, it turns into a racial issue for many African Americans. They have essentially through their own doing kept themselves poor, undereducated, and living in the highest areas of crime in any city.

    It is significant that the brother who committed the murders and killed himself (suicide) had a white woman — and the disconnect between his reality and hers, and his lack of emotional support that could have come from a black female who “understood” what he was going thru.

    Before anyone slams me for the above, I have seen this played out several times with BM in IR relationships with WF who wind up committing suicide

    Suicide used to be UNCOMMON for black folks but it has increased the more blacks have integrated and dated/married whites.

    For BM the rate of increase in suicides have increased along with the number of BM in IR relationships. Strangely, the suicide for black females — who are LEAST LIKELY to marry outside their race — is the LOWEST IN THE NATION (and that includes white males and females).
    —-
    It is also significant that Seattle, WA. has one of the highest suicide rates for BM in the nation AND is also has one of the highest rates of BM in IR.

    A coincidence? Maybe…then again, maybe not.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/JamaicanMan876/ JamaicanMan876

    There could have been a more peaceful resolution. He should have filed a racial harassment lawsuit for a hostile work environment. Management didn’t deal with the problem by disciplining the offenders. So if they violate then you litigate.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/cocoabroa_j/ cocoabroa_j

    I hear what people have commented and i agree and disagree. I agree that this could have resolved in a more peaceful situation…i wish he didn’t kill himself despite the proposed accusations but i do disagree with some of the alternatives.
    Granted, the brother opened fire and went “postal” on those whom treated him wrong thus committed suicide but as we all know, these are mainly acts of caucasion people. It is a double-standard….whenever they do something, it is often downplayed but if we do the same if not less than then we are ALL problematic. I do not condone the acts of what this brother has done but those whom have driven him to this point will never get the opportunity to do it again which is the point i think he was trying to make. On the flip side of his suicide, he must’ve thought that he was going to get fried in the end anyway….a black man killing 8 whites….u get fried just for being black, conscientous and educated to the world…why is that?
    As far as utilization of some of these organizations, it is propaganda. It is a long, drawn-out process and DEPENDING on those whom are investigating the proposed issue(s), it lingers until you go away because no one believes the victim until the victim proves themself to be telling the truth (he went to his bosses and even the union but the response was for him to resign or get terminated)….meanwhile during all of that, you will be consistently discredited from the smallest thing (he worked with the company for 7 or so years without incident but he began stealing coincidentally after his complaints) to negate any support from the public. There are tools we ALL can utilize to prevent things like this from happening…..it happens to the white half too but it appears to be a standard to often happen to us……preserverance and faith is the key.

    I don’t work for that company or at that work site. So, I cannot comment on how he was treated, or what went on there. I do know, he killed 8 people! So, don’t bring generalizations on how blacks are treated in America. One time, let someone take accountability for their action! As for the media, trust the liberal media will more than allow him to be the victim!

    Society’s worfofrce is a pain in the azz for any black person trying to make it, esp. if u work hard,smart, and are young.. they’ll TRY to stop u in anyway they could IF u let it B done
    Thats very sad what this man went through.. but whats even more disturbing is that none of what was said in that article was shocking to me!! The fact of him being in a IR couple probabley didnt make it better. To work in a white company then have to your girlfirned comes in who could be on of their daughters….i bet those “good ole boys” didnt like that and it partly fueld them to put those noose and that other BS on the stalls! and have u noticed but all his victims were older than him (50-60) so these were old men.. i can only imagine the hell that man had to endure.We all kno how blantantly RACIST oldfartz of white people can be because they were raised in racist /segregated times. May he rest in peace and tho I believe if he wouldve been with a woman that could relate to his pain i.e a black woman, he prob. couldve got some help. What could his gf say to him when he came home talking about the insults and attacks??…she can only sympathize (that is all they can do because they’ll NEVER kno how this syht feels) where a black woman Know exactly how u feel and what 2 do about it. that all i’m saying, the man had some screws loose anyway to steal beer from the company after they were MORE than likely LOOKING for somethin 2 fire him for. Did he think that it was going to make them quit with their evil??..No he said F)ck it didn’t care because of the abuse on the job. Something needs to be done w/ the unfair workplace,, because it’s YEt to be a a FAIR, comfortable, environment 4 us. We can’t be ourselves and perform the best of our ability without these eager devils in our azz ready to devour/control us at work..and man do they ABUSE THEIR AUTHORITY. It brings them back to the days they miss.-Slavery and JimCrow. white slavemaster over the his “inferior” black slave . I’m telling you that desire to control us andto monitor us -you would think they got paid for it!!! like the damn FBI on us!!- When they get that opportunity to really tell us what to do, they get EXCITED, they love to tell a black person what to do,when to go on lunchbreak,when to clock in and out and when to speak. I think as a whole put the whole contry back…they dont care tho..just as long as we are “taken care” of. thats all that matters to them. And No body is going to Lie about what went on than lost their own life for 4 it. Come on now, I don’t think he was THAT dan crazy!!

    Its really a shame to see how many of you actually condone this. And you do condone it if you said anything about well they were harassing him or this is a racist country or any of that bulls**t. Even if he was bring harassed and even if he did have prove that is no reason for you to go and kill a bunch of people. If your that mad, file a lawsuit or a complaint, which the story clearly states that he never actually did, probably because they would have found out about his side hustle. But anyway my heart goes out to all those people who lost family members because of this piece of s**t.

    And another thing, the man did not have any hoses turned on him or any dogs sicked on him or anything like that, black people now a days (and yes this a 21 year old saying this) need to suck it the f**k up. We don’t have it even close to as bad as our ancestors, so if they didn’t give that kind of response what in the hell makes you think that anything you go threw is worthy of a shooting spree response. If you have an issue with racism file your complaint or lawsuit and move on with your life, no wonder we don’t move forward as people we too concern with you said what or did what or how your feelings are hurt or some other bulls**t. Your people didn’t give their lives for to to b***h and moan throughout yours.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/registheone/ registheone

    Well I have been in situations in corp american where I at least thought about doing something crazy….yes people racism is still going on to this day! I was the only black on the team or the last 2 companies where I worked. I’ve seen other black people get downgraded and/or laid-off by the droves. I have been laid off two times myself. I worked on a team and these two white women gave me hell or no reason at all. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t condone what this guy did. He should have stuck it out like I did. On the other hand, I do know what it feels like to want to get even with those who have wronged you or no reason whatsoever. I tend to be an extremely nice person too…and therefore a target. Plus, if you look in many corporate environments you will not find many black males at all. At the same time, when jobs become available black males line up on groves. There is something weird about this picture. Please don’t give me that bull about how beneficial it is to file a racial discrimination lawsuit because I started the process for that and the EEOC pretty much denied my claim. You scream racism and no one wants to deal with you at all. It is best to do like I do which is graduate from college, gain as many skills as possible and only pursue companies where people appreicate your skills/culture/contribution. You will all experience some form of racism, yet you should not resort to harming anyone.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Shordi_Shordi/ Shordi_Shordi

    I hope everyone on here claiming he was harassed understands that this had NOTHING to do with race. This man got caught on camera stealing from his employer. He was asked to resign, or the company was going to seek further action. If the company just fired him then they would have to pay this man who was stealing from them unemployment. Now, I know for damn sure if you were someones boss and or owned the company that you wouldn’t want to pay someone who has stolen from you. This man couldn’t take accountability for his actions. A black man that steals, is that a shock? How about a blk man playing the race card everytime they get let go or fired and then it comes out in media or papers that its because they stole something. He killed 8 people because HE got caught on camera stealing. People, all people need to be held accountable for what they do and should have enough respect for themselves to admit when they have done wrong. Oh and WOW to the female making comments about blk men complaining and playing the race card when they indeed date only white women. LoL. YOU may want to look in the mirror and ask yourself why. And the word is “no” not know empathy. That might be a reason right there. Spell check dear.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Shordi_Shordi/ Shordi_Shordi

    I still love have blk people say they are being held back, you hold yourself back. You are your own worst enemy. You have no more excuses, there is a blk president. He did it, why can’t you. How about don’t drop out of school, go to college, keep a job and don’t go around making babies or try to become a rapper. Get educated,in school, religion, politics, morals, and ethics. Quit making excuses. There are more options out there for blk race than any other in regards to assistance with school, tuition for college, grants and scholarships. Help yourself!!!!!

    If you believe that minority people still do not endure racism and social injustices in the U.S. than you are blind. White privilege, institutionalized racism, and discrimination are still overly apparent in the United States. Yes there is a “token” black president who has been openly subjected to racist comments ans propaganda. This is the country’s PRESIDENT. If not even he can escape prejudice and hate what does that say fort he rest?

    There are no excuses just facts. All you see is minorities dropping out of school and having babies. You do not experience the subtle, yet effective, oppression that many of us endure.

    Well…. You can guarantee Whitey will get a little stricter on racism in the workplace. Not saying he was right for killing those ppl but he got tired. He’s human. And when you torture a person like that they are bound to snap. This is a wakeup call for White America. Some ppl aren’t playing with you. Some Blacks simply won’t put up with your abuse. And unfortunately it took several lives being lost to show the impact racism has on some ppl.

    Hopefully white folks will stop and think before pulling another racist stunt or slur, because this could become a trend. Like the movie American History X. On the job, in schools, churches… ANYWHERE!

    His reports did nothing; the managers did nothing, so as crazy as it sounds he took matters into his own hands. Which is what MANY minorities have to do these days. The law is NOT on our side.

    Much love to those who lost someone in the shooting…but hey… lesson learned.
