"Movin On Up was cool, but i wasn't really feeling Fully Loaded Clip"
Crazed Gunman Told Mom He Had "Killed All The Racists". After Murdering 8 People At Connecticut Company Before Turning Gun On Himself [Video + Pics]
A seething Connecticut warehouse driver who griped that he was the victim of workplace racism -- and who faced the ax for stealing beer -- calmly shot eight terrified co-workers to death yesterday before turning the gun on himself, authorities said.
"I killed the five racists that was there bothering me," Omar Thornton, 34, boasted to his stunned mother by phone after the massacre at Hartford Distributors in Manchester at around 7:30 a.m.
"I love you very much, I want you to take care of yourself. I want you to stop smoking," he then told his mom, Lillie.
Thornton, who apparently stashed weapons and ammo in his lunchbox to smuggle them into the beer warehouse, spent the next few minutes arguing with his mother over whether to kill himself.
The killer, described by relatives as a "mama's boy" teetotaler, then hurriedly told her, "The cops [are] knocking on the door, and I'm not going to jail -- I gotta go," said Thornton's uncle, Will Holliday.
He then killed himself.
Officials said Thornton launched the bloodbath minutes after "being given an option to quit or be fired" because he had been caught on video swiping beer.
He calmly told his bosses that he would quit -- "then he went on this rampage," said survivor Steve Hollander, a co-owner who was grazed by bullets.
"He was cool and calm. He didn't yell. He was cold as ice," Hollander said. "He didn't protest when we were meeting with him to show him the video of him stealing. He didn't contest it. He didn't complain. He didn't argue. He didn't admit or deny anything. He just agreed to resign. And then he just unexplainably pulled out his gun and started blasting.
"He shot at me twice and hit me a couple times," Hollander said. "By just the grace of God, I don't know how he missed [killing] me."
Thornton fatally shot the two people standing next to him point-blank in the head, Hollander said. One of them was Bryan Cirigliano, 51, the Teamsters shop steward who had repped Thornton at the 7 a.m. disciplinary hearing.
Hollander said he then "saw [Thornton] running outside of my office window, shooting his gun, carrying his lunchbox, which must have had his weapons in it."
The rampage lasted "simply a matter of minutes," said Manchester Police Chief Marc Montminy. "It was all the way from the front of the walkway to the back of the building. [Victims] were scattered throughout."
One employee screamed to alert co-workers that Thornton appeared to be systematically hunting down victims as he walked through the warehouse office armed with his .223-caliber semiautomatic rifle and a red satchel stuffed with bullets.

I DONT LIKE HOW MONEY RESPONDED TO THESE RACISTS, BUT WHO AM I? EVERYONE RESPONDS DIFFERENT TO SUCH THINGS. I GOT A JOB AT HOME DEPOT, AND WHEN I QUESTIONED MY MANAGER FOR FOLLOWING ME ON ALL MY BREAKS, I GOT TERMINATED. I WAS ALSO FAILED MISERABLY BY TEACHERS IN COLLEGE AND HELD BACK FOR 2 YRS. I APPEALED AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I RETOOK CLASSES TWICE OVER. AFTER A WHILE, I GAVE UP BECAUSE I RUN OUT OF MONEY. I WAS PAYING FOR TUITION OUT OF POCKET. IT HURT LIKE CRAZY AND I ALSO TOLD MY MOM, BUT I WILL NEVER GO THERE AND KILL THEM. GOD FORBID. MOST RECENTLY, AFTER MY CAR ACCIDENT, MY DR. REFUSED TO TREAT AND SAID SHE WASNT INTERESTED IN SEEING ME ANY LONGER. ACCORDING TO THE LAW, SHE SHOULD HAVE REFERRED ME ELSEWHERE, BUT SHE DIDNT. I HOPE ALL THE DECEASED ONES CAN FIND PEACE. F*** THE RACISTS THOUGH. THEY SHOULD ALL BURN IN HELL!
RACISM WILL NEVER GO AWAY. ITS JUST A WAY FOR LAZY, INCOMPETENT JERKS TO ASSUME DOMINION OVER OTHERS BECAUSE THEY REPRESENT THE MAJORITY. THERE IS A GRAND CREATOR AND ALL THIS MISCREANTS SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THEY GET RE INCARNATED BACK ON EARTH AS THOSE WHOM THEY WERE TRYING TO OPPRESS.

F***** up no matter what. Racism is wrong no matter who does it. Just know if someone tries to hate on me about race I know I am better than them and their ignorance. I am white you can call me a cracker all you want, but just know I won't come back with that same kind of ignorance I respect myself too much for that. In the end we all red on the inside. People of all races need to educate themselves and step above it, but with the ignorance in America that may never happen.
