I worry that this thing has turned into a media circus. And that million dollar reward will only make it worse, maybe much worse.
This is turning into a clusterfuck.

If he is still up in those mountains, he could just disappear. They may never find him. Like DB Cooper.

(54,041 posts)He gunned down two innocent people, then murdered a random cop regardless of his involvement in the corruption. Regardless of whatever pressure he was under for whistleblowing, he's the bad buy in this.

(114,904 posts)Yes, the LAPD is fucked up. But Dorner is a crazy cold blooded murderer who had years and years to take (non-murderous) action re the malfeasance of the LAPD and did no.
He wants to create as much suffering as possible.

(34,845 posts)Dorner waited 2 weeks before making his allegations. They came the day AFTER his partner asked for him to be reassigned.
His ex-girlfriend described Dorner as 'twisted' and 'paranoid'.
Whatever Dorner had to say in his manifesto should be looked at with more than suspicion. The guy is a lunatic.
The LAPD is also sometimes a lunatic organization. That does not mean that Dorner's word on anything should be taken at face value.
And there is that sinister-sound word 'drone' again. Big. Fucking. Deal.
Is it better to have loud helicopters patrolling the area where pilots are at risk to themselves and at risk of giving Dorner a heads up?
I don't even know who Joe Madison is but he sounds like someone who wants to be at the center of attention if he thinks reading a lunatic's ravings are in any way helpful to the situation.
It's strange that lunacy in the real world infects us here at DU, too.
