Obviously, we don't know for sure what color everyone is (or what sex, for that matter) when we're posting on an anonymous message board, but there are a handful of very vocal supporters of Dorner right on this thread who we KNOW are white.

So, please take your generalizing elsewhere because it's just not the case.
That is what I've seen on this forum. However, I knew that this shooting might be used as an excuse to express rage towards the Black population.

Without passing judgment on the morality of his actions, you do have to admit he definitely accomplished what he set out to do. His mission was to strike fear and terror into the hearts of every LEO in the state and he did that. He understood tactics and used them effectively.
I wish I could say that the support he receives would encourage LEO to reconsider their problems with the hatred and resentment many Citizens feel against LEO's but I doubt seriously if that will be the case. They will instead continue to bully and to victimize the public and then fail to understand why people like Dorner, and McVey gain folk hero status.
As of last night the News was still talking as if the body had not been IDed....

What if the cops have fried the wrong guy after all and Dorner is still on the loose? That could get interesting...

So far we have No evidence Dorner did any thing... For all i know LAPD killed 3 of their own and wounded one more, plus shot up 2 trucks shot at 3 citizens hitting 2, and burned down a cabin ON PURPOSE with somebody inside and now they have 3 wallets supposedly all belonging to Dorner.

NOW all I ever wanted was corruption to be cleaned up, but I see now that is asking way too much.

So if we are going to accept police corruption, can we all play? So far while i have been abused by police I have not lied....

Can I lie now then? That's will be fine right? I can I beat up people too? Just say they slipped and fell?

I'm about as "left" as you can get and I see nothing - NOTHING - honorable or admirable in what this guy did.

Please make a list of the "lefties" who are defending him so I can "un friend" them.

In fact, I see far more on the far right practically calling him a martyr and saying he was justified - the same people who scream and rant about abortion being "murder."


I'm left on Social, right on fiscal.. . .and I agree with the above

The only defenders of Dorner seem to be the "Counter Narrative" nutsos who believe that every thing that happens in this country is part of some elaborate plan to take your women, guns, or send you to a camp under Denver airport.

These people seem to not be "left" or "right". Just because this nutso (Dorner) voted for Obama, doesn't mean anyone on the left supports him.

The only laws worth following are moral ones. When people try to enforce immoral laws they should be done away with it.
Yes, the government can make laws with the consent of the people!

As do I. But knowing it's against the law and taking that risk is a person's individual decision. But yes, the whole drug war is ludicrous, expensive and unjust.

Yes, that is the way it should be, but it isn't always that way.

But I can't tell ........ Probably you are just mocking me out and i don't know it yet since i can't see that smug look on your face.

The day I placed a strap dress on the NH State Troopers chest at a school where for a month I was paper contracted to do a living history demo, which happened to be the same day a Columbine, something i had never heard of, the smug smirk went away instantly as I accomplished that.

I would have to say the vast majority has never placed a red and blue hand made strap dress on a troopers chest either.. The other 11 were very glad I didn't do that to them.

I will admit, that at times like that I stand up for what I am about for better or worse.

You see what i should have done was LEAVE and SUE for Breech of Contract, and discover which SHEEP blew me in.

That contract was MY standard contract not the schools. That contract made school authorities inform the police.

Then because the Police are too high and mighty to call some peasant like me back, to say the school made contact and tell me they know i will be attending a school on a given day and won't SHOOT me, it turns out I must call the police to confirm.


It's a good bet the vast vast majority have never done a living history event at a public school, private camp for a public school, library, and or even old age nursing home either.

I doubt a vast majority even have hand made Buck Skin clothing to wear.

Let me tell you! This guy leaning on that tree with a few knives, a couple hawks, and a Nor' West Gun, with a camp set up out of the picture, teaching primitive skill sets, surpassing anything the mundane can learn inside a cubical is one BAD Hombre



So are you or are you not mocking me out............
Is that you?? Neat!
