Now they're saying they found his driver's license. What the hell kind of licenses is California issuing? I'm pretty sure my license would melt if exposed to so much as a Bic lighter's flame.

he's not dead, the proof you have is ashes and an unmelted California driver's license? lol, i couldn't cut a line of coke with my CDL, and you are laying a cop killer in the ground with the evidence of one burned downed shanty and an untouched piece of plastic.

i expected better from you, and great things from the home grown terrorist.

TBH I skimmed the manifesto and then proceeded to ignore the story altogether. Only found out recently that it came to a screeching halt, and I still don't understand why he's being hailed as some kind of modern day desperado hero, or why so many conspiracy theorists think that he must have found a secret cache of the police chief's kiddie porn or uncovered a plot to take over the world using subliminal messages in next-edition Harry Potter. What the fuck?

it's because reddit and liveleak and expose sites are having a contemporary vogue for 'police brutality! totalitarian state!' type material.

It's not just the internet. I've heard old fart wingnuts who wouldn't know facebook if it bit them on the ass cheering him on. Has right-wing media been supporting this guy as well?

They are not heroizing him because they agree with what he did or like him as a person. They are doing it because they have some very legitimate issues with police in America. In most places especially LA the police are a horribly corrupt institution that is closed off to most people and refuses to reform. I have a thread I update from time to time about the prison industrial complex on this page. So it is not about Dorner it is about police corruption. Pretty simple stuff.

I guess we should heroize the Nazi docs for advances in dentistry as well.

Never mind the lack of ethical equalize, that doesn't even make sense for what we are talking about.

Maybe we should give Genghis Khan a honorary economics degree for bringing stability to the silk road. That makes just as much sense as what you just said.

The police chief city of Bell, population 35k makes about 400k per year.

People are just tired of the constant ripoff off of The State. So when an anti-hero like Dorner comes along people unthinkingly either call for his execution ( because he mocks the state ) on site or cheer him on ( because they are tired of getting ass raped by the state ).
There usually isn't much deeper thought than that. It was the same with the cops that are caught on scanner saying " burn the motherfucker "; it's just a mindless rage based emotional reaction.
I think that he spree was triggered not just by his stated grievance, but because of his failure to move on past his law enforcement career flop.
Having a career in law enforcement in The Peoples Republic of Kalifornia is like winning the crime lottery. See the police chief listed above or google " chiefs disease " about how highway patrol officers in some Kalifornia cities retire with a 80% disability rate.

Hours after her younger sister stood behind President Barack Obama during his gun violence speech last week, an Illinois teen died when a bullet found her in a North Chicago alley.

Two people were being questioned Monday as police worked to piece together the final moments of 18-year-old Janay McFarlane, who left behind a 3-month-old son.

McFarlane's younger sister, 14-year-old Destini Warren, was among a group of high school students standing behind Obama when he spoke in Chicago on Friday. Obama cited gun violence that killed 443 people in the city last year as one reason why children need community wide support to help them believe they can improve their lives through education and hard work.

Before the night had passed, McFarlane was dead and her family was plunged into mourning.
Just a few weeks ago a teen sho sang at Obama's swearing in was shot to death. The man is bad luck

Your analogy isn't just not smart or clever, it doesn't make any sense. Please explain how acknowledging that people have valid complaints about their local police department the same as glorifying Nazis for their role in progressing dentistry. I want to hear your grand thesis linking my post with your piss poor attempt at being clever.

You: They are doing it [idolizing him] because they have some very legitimate issues with police in America.
Boiled down: People are idolizing a bad thing because it opposed what they view to be a bad thing: police corruption.
Me: People who idolize Nazis for advances in medicine...
Boiled down: People are idolizing a bad thing because it opposed what they view to be a bad thing: a lesser understanding of science.

So yes...

No. Excusing bad for being bad because in your mind it did some good is fucking stupid. If it means so much to you, present your own and I'll give you a gold star karma.
