Chris Dorner thinks he’s a highly moral individual. A crusader for justice. A righter of wrongs. Maybe even a hero.
At least that’s the impression I get from reading the intense, sharply written, yet frequently absurd manifesto he allegedly posted on Facebook last week.
Dorner—AKA “Rambro,” “Blambo,” and “The Real Django”—continues to elude authorities as of this writing. The ex-LAPD officer and former Navy Reservist is suspected of fatally shooting a civilian couple in Irvine, CA last Sunday, a mere two days after Dorner formally left the Navy. One victim, Monica Quan, is the daughter of a retired LAPD officer who’d defended Dorner in a departmental matter. Dorner is also suspected of shooting three police officers in Riverside, CA on Thursday, killing one.
As Dorner explains it, this was all a “necessary evil.” In his manifesto, he says that the killing will continue—not only of LAPD officers, but of their children. And they made him do it. He’s not responsible.
All this killing will be justified, according to Dorner, because he once saw a fellow LAPD officer kick a schizophrenic and he once heard a pair of LAPD cops (who, judging by their surnames, were Mexicans) refuse to apologize for saying the word “nigger.”
Dorner is a man with many grievances. His manifesto mentions incidents both in childhood and adulthood where he was either called a nigger or he heard someone use the word nigger, and both times he responded with violence. He saw and approves of the recent kill-whitey cinematic bloodfest Django Unchained. A huge part of his rapidly evolving public persona is centered on the idea of justified black rage. His case recalls that of Nkosi Thandiwe, who murdered a white woman and said his anthropology classes taught him that white people were uniquely evil and that he was trying “to spread the message of making white people mend.” It recalls that of Omar Thornton, who shot up a Connecticut beer distributor’s building in 2010 and in the process killed eight people, including “five racists.” It harks back to that of Colin Ferguson, who blew away six commuters on the Long Island Rail Road in 1993 and propped up his legal defense on the idea of black rage.

Is there any proof that Dorner actually wrote the “manifesto?” There has been more than one version of his purported ?manifesto.” Which one, if any, is the real one?
He was a whistleblower in one of the most corrupt, racist, abusive police department in the country.
I’m not saying it’s so, but I also don’t believe that it’s totally beyond the realm of possibility that he’s been set up and they will kill him to silence him.
With the police running around shooting innocent citizens and shooting up neighborhoods, and now reports that they’re using, or planning to use, drones, I doubt we’ll ever see Dorner alive. They seem intent on killing him on sight, with no due process, whether on the ground or from the air.
Again, I’m not saying it’s so, just asking the question “Is it possible that this guy has been set up?”
THere have been many false “law enforcement” operations/investigations, from JFK’s assassination with its ridiculous ballistic magic, to serious questions on the investigation of 9/11/2001, to the Duke “rape” trial where innocent college kids were railroaded to advance a corrupt prosecutor’s career aspirations. I really have little faith that the LAPD isn’t fully capable of a cover-up/murder based on its corruption and racism over the years. (And, ov course, the Obamaites will try to leverage this into more “justification” for gun bans.
There is a reason why government is mistrusted by the people and Congress is less popular than cockroaches and colonoscopies.
Yep, you are probably right. This guy doing these shootings was an ex-cop. He may know too much and they may terminate him without due process. As the old saying goes, “Dead men tell NO tales.”
There’s no proof that Dorner did any of the things they say he did…why can’t they find him?
This stinks of a set-up to start the drone meme, showing the American people who’s in charge.
It’s almost like they’re saying: “See, even a black man can be the target of our tyranny–we won’t stop for anyone.” I also think that they’re using all this as a way to push us into using our 2nd amendment rights, so they can take it away from us. They’ve been waiting for a race war to boil but they aren’t very patient, so they dredge up some BS story about how a black man was wronged and even though it’s understandable, we will find him with a drone and kill him without due process.
We didn’t get to see OBL’s body, I doubt that we will see ‘Dorner’s’. We’re living in a land of make-believe; the ‘Obama’ Nation where everything is upside down and inside out.
