The progressives liberals are making him into a martyr because he stood up to the racist LAPD, one problem, the first two victims he executed were minorities, Asian and Black. The people he carjacked and kidnapped, but did not kill were White. He killed two other officers that were white, but he was aiming at the uniform, not the skin color. The biggest question for the LAPD is how in the world did he ever become a LAPD officer?
Unfortunately it isnt just progessive liberals. I use FB quite a bit for business, but yesterday got sidetracked by a discussion a conservative friend of mine in Texas started about the lack of due process he was afforded, all based on the now infamous police scanner recording of "burners in place". In a short period of time several non liberals were going off on the LAPD burning him out, forgetting the fact that it was in the SB jourisdiction and who was running the show.
The dialogue then turned to "he couldnt have surrendered without being shot first", which is BS. He could have walked across the street in San Diego and turned himself into the Navy MPs at the sub base. He could have stopped at the Border Patrol checkpoint on northbound I-15 and surrendered.
I got so frustrated I unfriended a dozen people, 6 of whom emailed me asking why. I told them I have no room in my life anymore for stupid people. One was also a born again Christian I have known for 30 years who also voted for Obama because "Romney is a liar". The fact that Dorner killed 2 innocent civilians and ambushed 2 cops escaped them. One suggested he was framed. Really? What, LAPD killed the kid of one of their own? I can handle political and religious differences no problem, but I am now drawing the line in accordance with the single one line Bill Maher said that I agree with - that the one prejudice he is guilty of is being "anti-stupid".
