MERIDIAN, Miss., July 9 — When he overheard a black man complimenting a white woman a couple of years ago on the factory floor, Doug Williams stepped up to the man and, using a racial slur, angrily told him blacks had no business being with blond women, witnesses recalled today.

When a black colleague complained last month that the white protective shoe-covering Mr. Williams was wearing on his head looked like a Ku Klux Klansman's pointy hood, and his boss at the Lockheed Martin aircraft parts plant a few miles outside of Meridian told him to take the bootie off his head or go home, Mr. Williams went home, company officials said today.

On Monday, Mr. Williams, 48, told his father he was ticked off that he would have to attend an ethics and sensitivity training course the next morning, the authorities say. A few minutes after it began, Mr. Williams left the room, returned from his pickup truck armed to the teeth, and began blasting away at close range at people who had known him, and known of his quick temper and simmering hatred, for years.

In less than 10 minutes, the authorities said, five people were dead, including at least one who had been offended by the bootie stunt three weeks earlier. An additional nine were wounded, at least one trying to wrest a shotgun away from Mr. Williams, as he stalked through the plant floor, shooting at some people, letting others live, following no discernible pattern.

2. Bet he had a Bush/Cheney bumper sticker on his vehicle.

And was a life member of the NRA.

3. I can't even imagine...

people who carry this much hate and venom around in their hearts. He sounds like someone who would vote for Trent Lott, and idolized Strom Thurmond.

Anybody who wonders why so many find the Confederate flag offensive, needs to take a long, hard look at this man. I will readily grant that prejudice knows no geographical boundries, but this is the kind of voter the right wing sends winks and nudges to when they try to kill things such as affirmative action.

This man was a member of the rightwingers base.
