Police: Man arrested at Conn. company for saying he understood mindset
of shooter who killed 9

Connecticut police say they arrested a man at a management company
after he mentioned the shooting rampage across the state that killed
nine people and said he understood the killer's mindset.

Fifty-eight-year-old Francis Laskowski of Derby was charged with
breach of peace Wednesday after making the comments while working at
Fusco Management Co. in New Haven.

Nine people died in the shootings Tuesday at Hartford Distributors in
Manchester, including gunman Omar Thornton. Thornton told police in a
911 call that he wanted to avenge racial discrimination, allegations
that company officials denied.

Laskowski told The Associated Press on Friday that his comments were
blown out of proportion. He says his arrest was "ridiculous" and he
didn't make any threats.


Your president is doing his best to discard *all* the protections
afforded by the Constitution. You like him, so why are you whining?
