Well, what can you say but, "well done?"


Get it?

Interestingly, the words "democrat," "liberal," "leftist," "extremist," "progressive," and "manifesto." all seem to be missing from this article. Go figure!

Oh, and the word "black" doesn't appear in it either, as in "police shoot black suspect, racism suspected." I guess that only happened in States with Republican governors these days, and with suspects that don't embarrass the Left.

Expect Doerner's homicidal rampage to be used as justification for additional gun control. The only "reasonable" response to a well armed psychopath is disarming the law abiding. It is obvious someone intent on engaging in warfare against the police department would have been stopped by fear of violating gun laws.

Why does everything have to be an indictment of the "left"? Why can't we just say he was a psycho out for revenge and be done with it? I don't understand where his personal politics come into play.

I haven't heard a thing about his personal politics until this thread.

To be more precise regarding actual relevance, do you think he killed people because he likes Obama and/or believes in gun control?

Because if the answer is "No", then fixating on such attributes is obviously a slimy tactic.

Folks should be concerned with the tactics used to destroy and burn the cabin.They had no intentions of taking him into custody and have a trial. There was a reason they forced the news choppers to leave the area before they tore down the cabin with him in it. Not condoning what he did but the methods used since Waco run unchecked despite the results they yield.

I agree that they had a vested interest in seeing him dead rather than bringing him in for a trial.

I believe the man had genuine grievances. I don't believe in his tactics but I do completely believe he had information and gripes that would have been embarassing for LAPD. LAPD isn't exactly your "protect and serve" kind of law enforcement organization.

I only answered another poster who said they had not heard of his political affiliations. It has been part of the story since this started as is the large number of people who were supporting him. I made no other comment. Seems you want to make more out of what I posted than was really there.

I guess he included all his thoughts he wanted to leave for posterity if he knew he would die soon, but the manifesto mostly stresses how a woman officer kicked a retarded suspect after he had been handcuffed and how internal affairs screwed him over after he reported it (crossing the blue line). And about his taking up for others name called in training and how a couple other officers regularly use the n word in black neighborhoods and when he called a guy on it the guy called him one...
stuff like that.

My take on the whole thing is dont call names if you are older than second grade because not only is that silly and unethical, but you never know who you might be dealing with that just might be at that last snapping point..

Was he a liberal? Was he "leftist"? Was he a political "extremist"?

Christopher Dorner looks like the imageof moderation. His writing cites popular media figures such as Piers Morgan and Chris Matthews. Not Karl Mark or Mao.

He is strongly pro-American: "Revoke the citizenship of Fareed Zakaria and deport him," he says of the Indian-American journalist, "I've never heard a positive word about America or its interest from his mouth, ever."

He likes Chris Christie, Colin Powell, Bill Cosby, and even George H.W. Bush. He sat out the 2012 election because the candidate he supported, Jon Huntsman, did not win in the Republican primaries.

He was a gun-control advocate who used the very loopholes in gun laws to procure weapons and silencers.

From: Christopher Dorner, The Unlikely Gun Control Advocate
On his manifesto:
So what we have is the usual hypocritical attempt to politicize a tragedy and paint something far darker in the colors of partisan politics.
