I dont think the guy had reason to kill. I wouldnt even take his word on the fact that he was in fact discriminated against. probably just a murderer of the plain variety. just like the folks under these trees.
welcome to the world of darrin s.

Naw, you just pissed on it. The piss ratio went up, not down.
I have to agree with Parker. Sorry white ppl, you ed up, I mean your ancestors ed up bigtime. And you gonna hear about it and have to apologize about it for centuries to come. That's just the way it is, face it and accept it.
hate breeds hate. and I know. I can be a hateful bas in real life.
@hater, Parker2112:
However that may be, how is any of that relevant to the OP?
piss ratio with who? the repugs/couched bigots?
the guy was filled with hate also, evidently. so I say we need more group hugs, and less of DarrinS's bull closet-bigotted arguments.
You countered Darrin's weak strawman with lame ad hominems. That raises the level of discourse how, please?
You're both unwarrantably arrogant and abusive to other posters, and your arguments are lame as . You guys deserve each other.
his discourse is a front for his real message. I stripped away the false front, and gave him something that might make him reconsider his hateful ways. granted it might fade in a couple of hours, but I guess you could say I got right to the heart of the matter.
I am abusive to closeted bigots on here, of which there are more than one, and other than that you are are en led to your opinion.
Did you feel that *the media* was justifying the murders because of said race card (as opposed to the actual perpetrator or his friends/family)?
I did not.
Nah...and to be honest, I really haven't read much about this. I havent watched TV in about 2 weeks (been really busy in the studio), but I did hear little blurb on the radio this morning concerning the 911 call.
You have nothing to add to this thread, other than posting inflammatory images and slandering me.
And I understand you dont agree with my tactics, and I know them to be in bad taste at times, but honestly...
THESE NASTY ROACHES/BIGOTS.
Darrin, you take every opportunity to ruin your own reputation. Why worry when someone else mouths the words for you?
This article/column seems to reinforce Prager's Op-Ed.

Possibility that Omar Thornton did not act alone
Unfortunately, the Connecticut workplace shooting leaves more facts that have not been considered. In college Psychology, I recall researching the ABCs (an acronym for Antecedents, Behaviors, and Consequences) of Psychology. These principles provide tremendous assistance in understanding what happened in Manchester, Connecticut this past Tuesday. Some people don’t want to discuss racism as being a form of violence because it would reveal that they themselves are in fact extremely violent and in denial about it.
Omar Thornton’s incident has a host of websites spewing hate talk toward African-Americans. Hartford Distributors may have used racism and gradually managed to kill Omar Thornton mentally and emotionally before the killing spree via attrition. Jessica Anne Brocuglio, an ex-girlfriend of Omar Thornton, comes forward with character evidence:
He always felt like he was being discriminated (against) because he was black[.]” “Basically they wouldn’t give him pay raises. He never felt like they accepted him as a hard working person.”
This statement corroborates with what Kristi Hannah, Omar Thornton’s fiancée before his death, had been telling the Manchester Police Department about Hartford Distributors treating him like a persona non grata.
Plus, a fellow co-worker who was employed with Omar Thornton at Hartford Distributors has come forward stating that he had seen the racist taunts: “Stuff on walls. Racist comments. I saw with my own eyes.” More importantly, the fellow co-worker said Mr. Thornton was hired as a truck driver; yet, he was assigned to loading boxes in the warehouse. Mr. Thornton had to fight to get behind the wheel. The co-worker then states that Hartford Distributors are lying and the evidence is in Omar’s cell phone. These statements are serious and they are not based upon speculation. This places the co-worker in a position to be called as a key witness to racism within Hartford Distributors. Although the co-worker is no longer under the employ of Hartford Distributors, he has witnessed these incidents first-hand. These statements make it appear as if Hartford Distributors is deliberately being obtuse to shield themselves from potential liability. As Marcellus said in William Shakespeare’s play “Hamlet,” “[s]omething is rotten in the state of Denmark.” Thus far, the answers provided by Hartford Distributors just rubs me the wrong way.
If Hartford Distributors created an atmosphere of ins utionalized racism within the workplace, then Omar Thornton’s contributing accomplice would be Hartford Distributors who subtly enraged Mr. Thornton to kill 9 employees. In no uncertain terms am I expressing that Omar Thornton was justified by what he did. However, I am expressing that if employers are allowed to continue with business as usual without being held accountable, the contributing employer accomplice will continue its uncorrected racist practices with the result being identical to the facts currently before us. Albert Einstein defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.” Let’s not wait until something else happens before we correct this, let’s get it right . . . right now!
If not, the subjective side of the alleged violence will continue without correction. Racist employers are in dire need help to redirect their violent tendencies in the workplace! If Mr. Thornton is correct, racism (his employer’s racism) motivated him to do what he did. A Latin term used in the legal community is ipse dixit (he himself said it). How is it that a fair minded person can incriminate Omar Thornton for what he did; yet, absolve the Hartford Distributors for their alleged racist conduct? If there was no shooting spree, many have suggested that he could have used the administrative process to report the racism. What that indicates is that many actually believe Omar had enough to file a complaint. Otherwise, why suggest filing a complaint when you don’t believe anything happened? That would be a futile gesture. It also suggests that a large population of people believe Mr. Thornton was subjected to racism. Normally, it’s the employer that recommends that the employee receive help with a problem that affects his/her job performance. In this case, it could be the employer who needs help with its entrenched racist practices toward African-Americans. But who will direct the employer to enroll in training to correct the problem? I’d bet dollars to doughnuts that neither of the supervisors or managers have had training regarding racism as a form of violence in the workplace. According to Omar Thornton, racism directly contributed to his shooting spree.
In a company that quickly identifies people by color, Hartford Distributors knew that its employees recognized which color was in the minority and the majority. The 911 tape is replete with descriptions of Omar Thornton being Black and one caller adds that he is the only Black guy that works there. The racism herein may have been cloaked in secrecy and a higher mind and set of eyes are reviewing the evidence in this case to find it. The Manchester Police Department must be applauded for their diligent effort to find the truth regarding this atrocity. When law enforcement acts professionally, the result is an important lesson being learned in the community. As the facts unfold, you can guarantee that they will be reported here.
@Parker2112:
Darrin continually kicks his own ass in this forum. Doing so is practically his calling card. Impersonating him just prolongs the process.
Now that just hurt me to the core -- especially coming from you.
I know what your saying, I understand this is a better place for everyone when we all play nice.
Sorry I disappointed. But I will probably continue to do so when couched bigotry rears its head. In my view a guy like DarrinS, after having been outed on this board as a closet bigot, should not be able to spread his propoganda without the hardest of backlashes.
If someone else had posted this story, I wouldnt have pissed on the entire thing. I would have said something along the lines of "this guy probably didnt even experience racism, he was just a killer" Sorry to spoil your debate.
@Teysha_Blue:
Agreed, with this stipulation: Parker2112 is swimming in the barrel too.
What is your basis for my alleged bigotry?
It depends on the arg. I come here for the variety of perspectives to inform my own. Yours is usually pretty informed. But I have shut down more than a few "debaters" on this board.
Although I will concede that when I talk about certain topics, I dont expect to be taken too seriously.
But if your calling me out, Winehole, then you might get the horns. And Im not talking about the ad hominem horns. Watch yourself.
