I make about $66K. I know that sounds high to some people but in Chicago, it does not make you rich by any means. Because I work for the government (Chicago Public Schools), I do get pretty decent benefits and a pension.
Send me a PM if you want to make twice that but if you don't mind cross country drives. When I was young I'd find them soothing, but I haven't slept more than 2 -3 hours a night in years. I'm dangerous on those drives.
On Twitter, many African-Americans are describing Dorner as a black icon, saying his actions should be cemented in Black History Month folklore. Others express sympathy for the lives Dorner took, but believe he is the victim of a racist police department in Los Angeles. Some feel he will become a martyr if he is to die fighting police. "God speed, Chris Dorner. It's about time someone did something about crooked cops," one user wrote. "Christopher Jordan Dorner...another black man set up by the man," another chimed. On Facebook, praise for Dorner's violent actions has been less scattered, instead organized around the belief that Dorner is a man of integrity driven to commit justifiable violence by the Los Angeles Police Department's mistreatment of him
Would you have felt different if the police dept was black and was beating and killing white people and one white person on the force stood up against it
Most people break some laws in their lifetime; most aren't stupid enough to brag about it in public.
Unlike you who brags about it constantly...Somehow I doubt that you are a bad ass at all. You are most likely some little nerd who lives in mommy's basement

I think you're referring to me even though you quoted d. I don't live in a house but an apartment with no basement. See my location.

I posted it there because Dorner was black and part of history.
I later deleted it because I realized that it went counter to the positve spirit that you were trying to maintain.
I have posted at least 4 individuals on that thread who did make positive contributions.
The fact that you would presumably oppose Dorner's inclusion illustrates perfectly why history should not be subdivided based on the skin color of historical figures.
We all bleed red - and are better unified rather than diviided.
Black History month is meant to be a celebration of Black excellence. im sure you knew that before you posted, so you were trolling.

actually, the subdivision here has nothing to do with race(at least not the way you put it), it has to do with celebrating achievement vs celebrating killers.
Had quite a few Black friends on my facebook feed supporting him.
I've got alot of Black friends on facebook, and NONE OF THEM have expressed any support for Dorner.
