Family: Racism caused Conn. gunman to snap

 
Mass murderer Omar Thornton and his girlfriend, Kristi Hannah

By Nicholas Stix

The above headline, about black shooter Omar Thornton’s mass murder of eight whites and wounding of two others before killing himself in Manchester, Connecticut, is both completely false and completely true; completely false, because the “family” is claiming that white racism caused him to snap. Completely true, because Thornton’s own racism caused him to snap. (Please do not confuse with Omar Thornton with other alleged recent black mass murderers. I realize that it’s getting harder and harder to keep these stories straight.)

The “family” of the headline is false, either way, because it refers not to Thornton’s family, but to that of his white girlfriend, Kristi Hannah. (Or is this some sort of diversity redefinition thing, where you not only call someone a “spouse” who isn’t, but now call a group a “family,” which is nothing of the sort?)

Yet relatives say Thornton, 34, finally cracked after suffering racial harassment in a company where he said he was singled out for being black in a predominantly white work force.

“Everybody’s got a breaking point,” said Joanne Hannah, the mother of Thornton’s longtime girlfriend.

According to the girlfriend’s mother, “Thornton had said he found a picture of a noose and a racial epithet written on a bathroom wall… Her daughter told her that Thornton’s supervisors said they would talk to his co-workers.”

Most whites or Asians who have worked at any job with extensive dealings with black colleagues or customers have had to constant, often violent racism. And yet, I never hear of any of them coming to work and blowing away blacks. (I said, “most whites or Asians,” because in such workplaces there is frequently a small number of white Uncle Toms and Aunt Jemimas who stay on the good side of the racist blacks by setting up their fellow whites for vicious abuse. Diversity trainers praise the white Uncle Toms and Aunt Jemimas as “allies,” and encourage their viciousness.)

Omar Thornton was a despicable thief and racist. He was caught on video stealing from the beer distributorship that employed him, but instead of being arrested, as the owners would likely have done to a white man they had caught stealing, the Hollander family that owned the distributorship apparently never even considered prosecuting Thornton. Indeed, so concerned were they about his delicate self-esteem that they gave him the option of resigning, rather than of being fired. He signed his resignation only seconds before beginning to murder his benefactors. Thornton, 34, went to the workplace armed with three guns, having planned on killing as many whites as he could.

A CBSTV news report mentioned that Thornton let some workers live, but gave no further explanation. Of course not, they were non-whites!

Thornton’s uncle, Will Holliday, said of Thornton’s telephone call home just before the latter killed himself, “He said, ‘I killed the five racists that was there that was bothering me.’ He said. “He said, ‘The cops are going to come in so I am going to take care of myself.’“

“Racists” is just a code for “whites.” But Thornton murdered eight whites and shot two other whites, as well. He was a liar, even in his last moments.

Apparently, when Thornton got caught stealing, he made up a story to sell his girlfriend and her family, and maybe even himself, that he was a hapless victim: He had encountered pictures of nooses, written racial epithets, and endured horrible racial harassment at work.

Union President Bryan Cirigliano must have been one of the “racists” Thornton was referring to. After all, Cirigliano was one of the first people Thornton murdered. Cirigliano’s “crimes”? Helping to get Thornton promoted to driver one year ago, and defending his rights at Tuesday morning’s meeting. But Thornton’s grieving white girlfriend, Kristi Hannah, is unbending in her fidelity to the “racism” narrative.

Like millions of other blacks in this country, Omar Thornton was in the grips of what I call black race mania. The more whites helped him, the hotter his racism burned.

In Missouri's 2008 Kirkwood massacre, a perpetual black traffic scofflaw who owed thousands of dollars in parking tickets, Charles “Cookie” Thornton, 52, murdered five whites, including two police officers and three city council members who had offered to forgive his traffic tickets, shot and wounded two other whites, and attempted to murder an eighth white, before police shot and killed him. As I said of that atrocity, You may not be interested in race war, but race war is interested in you.
