I don't know if anyone else had gotten a chance to read Chris Dorner's lengthy manifesto but it's definitely not your run of the mill "The Jews Did It!"-type crazy/conspiracy talk you'd expect from someone going on a shooting spree.
In fact, it seems to list his alleged attempts to report or otherwise stop racism, anti-Semitism and police brutality within the LAPD, including case numbers, detectives involved, and so on- even individual items of evidence. It also includes a fairly long list of alleged retributory actions, either taken by the LAPD or by individual offices, in order to punish him for crossing the "Blue Line"- the supposed gang-like code of silence police are sometimes accused of adhering to in order to cover up/hide misbehavior or criminal wrongdoing among their own ranks.
Obviously the guy is a multiple-murderer and needs to be stopped. It's also clear that his mind has snapped and whatever grievance of his cannot justify the violence. But when someone posts a message like his, it's usually to explain why they're doing it. I was more than a little surprised at what he claimed, anyway, caused it.
Very strange.

Maybe we can have a thread that updates with actual news.

(9,186 posts)we need to wait and see how this turns out. But an early hunch is PTSD and the loss of his position may have pushed him over the edge. He is going to punish those he decides need to be punished.

having said that, it doesn't make them not true either.

(90,061 posts)I don't agree with his methods at all, but with all these other people making statements with their guns, it's not hard to figure out the logic. They had better hope his mind has snapped. What I read there is not a mind that is anything like incoherent.

(51,666 posts)something about it. I also think that no one is going to give his complaints any credence now that he has murdered innocent people in cold blood.
He ain't right in the haid. And it's going to end very badly for him.
