Christopher Dorner Barricaded in a Cabin

[The Sound]

The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm not sure if this subject is suitable for the boards or not. Mods, if you feel this is too controversial, please remove it. No hard feelings if you do.

Is this the craziest news story I've ever seen or what? If you don't know what's happening, it's all over every major news site or TV channel.

We will NOT debate this man's so-called manifesto.

This man is an example of the worst way to react to a bad turn in life. He got fired, chose to become a serial killer in reaction, and thinks he's justified in doing so. It doesn't get lower than that. He deserves whatever he gets, which is apparently death by suicide before being burned in that cabin if the latest unconfirmed reports are confirmed later on.

If so, good riddance. One less evil maniac amongest humanity.

The LAPD may be corrupt, so as he claims, but the fact that two innocent lives are taken makes Dorner no better than them.

Once again, I'd like to apologize if this is not the sort of thing that should be discussed on this forum. I'm on another forum that regularly discusses current events on the side, but I realize things like this have the potential to get out of hand. I realize now that I should have messaged a moderator and asked permission before posting this thread.

I will say that I absolutely agree that Dorner's decision to kill in response to his convictions was absolutely unacceptable, and should not be tolerated at all. However, I will also say that I do feel like his experiences, if true, do matter. Obviously he dealt with everything in the worst way possible, but I think charges of corruption ought to be dealt with. And yes, I realize that after what he's done, you could very easily say his claims don't deserve to be investigated.

The sad part is he could have brought his claims to light in much better ways - ways that might have actually lead to some progress made, but instead he made the worst choice possible.

Now that he has, it's as if his claims can't be investigated lest that give credence to his methods, and encourage other people to go on a serial killer rampage just to draw attention to themselves.
