Fuck the "folk hero" LA killer cop Christopher Dorner AND his manifesto!

He murdered the daughter (and her fiance) of a retired cop, because Dorner thought the guy fucked up his appeal to a review board.
That makes him a whole lot of things in my book, but "hero" ain't one of them.

that person altogether, much less get close enough to him to engage in sex with him. Truly.

Once he's captured or killed, then an investigation is in order into the charges he raises. Until then, he's a murderer with victims who are innocent of anything. Not a safe person to be anywhere near.

I sure hope he has some damn good protection! Dorner has lost his mind. He is a ZERO.

I read as much of his 'manifesto' as I could -- and it sounds like a man that is not stable at all. It sounds like he pre-justified the actions he appears to be taking.

That isn't folksy to me, that is dangerous and deadly.

Dorner has lost any moral high ground he might have had with his possibly legitimate complaints about LAPD by murdering innocent people. But what he claims in his manifesto doesn't sound the least bit outlandish to me.

I've lived here long enough and dealt with LAPD enough to know that they are a gang that looks out for itself and holds non-members in utter contempt - and that means we taxpayers and law abiding citizens who don't happen to be cops or cops' family members.

If you want to destroy a fact, ALWAYS go after the person who said it.

FED out of control? Emphasize that Ron Paul also attacks the FED.

Selling "WMDs in Iraq"? Give Scott Ritter the airtime to attack the position and then expose him as a pedophile.

And on and on and on....

Dornan broke the law. The cops broke the law. There are no heroes here.

Both were senseless acts of violence against innocent people not even engaged in the furor. Hopefully the Asian women will recover and not have to deliver newspapers at 5 am.

The cops will go back to work, after a short suspension ... likely with pay... to wait out the public ire to calm down.
