To be totally accurate, the company didn't just accused him, they had video tapes of his stealing the beer. At least, that's the news we get here. Re racism in the phone call to police officer, there is racism and discrimination in this country galore. Against African Americans, Muslims, the "wrong" type of Christians, Jews, women, etc. That is no excuse for killing people. Even worse, he killed, before he sought other remedies open to him. No sympathy for this guy here. He was really upset that he got caught stealing and now was to pay the price. In this economy, anyone who has a job and jeopardizes it, is already a little off.

we don't know, Lawrence, why Omar Thornton did it. We do know he'd been called in for a disciplinary meeting and sacking was a possible outcome. We do know that his girlfriend and family members said he had complained of racism. and we have his very own words in the tape posted on the Hartford Courant website and reported here
