Christopher Dorner your opinion

[Comrade Nasser]

Although i'm sure there is bound to have been a thread about this by now, I wanted to know what my fellow revlefters think of this guy. This story really got to me since I live like 10 miles away from where this all happened. Anyways, I admired his rebellion towards the corrupt police department and sticking it to the man, so to speak, but I didn't agree with him targeting their family members. So what do you make of this guy, and do you think he's really dead? (Lol I personally think he's dead)

[Sinister Cultural Marxist]

He's hanging with Tupac, Biggie and Elvis on an island somewhere planning their comeback!


The probability that he's dead isn't going to stop a bunch of folks from claiming he's alive and making him into some kind of folk legend. Of course, his tactics didn't really do anything except terrorize police and their families, and targeting people's families for their activities is punishing the innocent. He sounds like a person who really needed a lot of counseling after unfairly losing his job, and any real critic of our system could have warned him that his illusions about the nature of the police were flawed from the outset.


Also, anyone who read his "manifesto" would know that his criticism of the system is skin-deep - he wanted to punish the LAPD for not holding up to their highest and most noble ideals, as if a more just and equitable police chief could fix all the problems he raised (and as if capping people was the most expedient way to bring such reforms about). He liked our federal government and it seems the state government too. The problem of the police has less to do with the moral character of the people in the force than it has to do with the kind of institution it is and the job which it is tasked to do.

He protested the abuse of innocent civilians by murdering innocent civilians. He is a hypocrite and a murderer.

Reactionary. Cop. Soldier. But at the same time was punished for doing the right thing and suffered from the LAPD's systemic racism. He should have, if he just HAD to kill people, stuck with the COPS singing Nazi songs and the police who he knew beat, shot and abused people with no 'legal' justification. Hopefully his actions will put a spotlight on police abuse but I doubt the media will let that happen. Heck, the LAPD shot up three different people thinking it was him. That fact alone should outshine anything else but the media just brushes it aside and out of the spotlight and thus public consciousness as will happen with this whole case in a matter of days.

If he had just stuck to corrupt cops who supported Institutional racism. I would not necessarily say that he was right in doing what he did, but killing innocent civilians is definitely NOT the way to go.

He hated the police because they weren't good enough at being police. I don't see anything to admire in that. It does show an intensifying crisis of policing in the US though. I think these were potentially just the first warning shots. They, the police chiefs, should really listen to Dorner, but they almost certainly won't and the result could be a very different kind of rebellion against the police, a la LA '92 and England 2011.
