      Wow. I remembered his face when duckduckgo led me to a wikipedia article. Was fired for reporting use of excessive force, then went on to kill officers and their family members until they admitted their wrong doing of firing him. From wikipedia, “A manifesto posted by Dorner on social media declared “unconventional and asymmetric warfare” upon the LAPD, their families and their associates unless the department admitted publicly he was fired in retaliation for reporting excessive force.” I have conflicting feelings about this. It makes me happy he took a stand against those organized criminals but I’m sad the criminal’s, possibly innocent, family members got dragged into the bloodshed.

        I’d be much concerned if you didn’t have conflicting feelings about it. I have conflicting feelings, but the predominate one is overwhelming sadness. The whole mess was easily preventable, with proper action by the lapd, and persecuting him wasn’t it, as we see.
