Christopher Dorner May Save More Lives Than He Could Ever Have Taken

By Doug Book

Christopher Dorner SC Christopher Dorner may save more lives than he could ever have taken

“Since 1989, the world has witnessed a progressive weakening of the state and rise of alternative, non-state primary loyalties, for which a growing number of men are willing to fight.” This is what military affairs expert William S. Lind calls the heart of his theory of the Fourth Generation of Modern Warfare (4GW).  And there can be no better example of a “primary loyalty” than the right to keep and bear arms.

The days of the massive, invulnerable armies of the nation-state winning contests with lesser opponents at the drop of a hat are over. Consider the fact that the most powerful military in the world was unable to roundly defeat the rag-tag forces of Afghanistan and Iraq, as wars that should have taken a matter of weeks have stretched into years.

Fourth Generation Warfare is based on dispersion and communications that remove the battle front entirely. Attackers rely on cultural/media attack and coordinated violent actions to…paralyze or collapse the enemy’s political will, rather than seeking decisive combat.” It’s the sort of warfare and aggression practiced by those who are not interested in adhering to politically correct tactics or seeking an outcome acceptable to the U. N., its member nations, or media critics. Only winning is important. And as individuals or comparatively small forces fighting in the 4GW mode will be far weaker than the trillion dollar forces of their opponents, they will almost certainly attract additional support by convincing lookers-on that theirs is the morally superior side. Isn’t that so often the case with underdogs?!

Anything about this sound familiar?

“One man — ONE MAN — has for almost a week frightened and tied up the law enforcement resources of an entire state (and I’m sure the Feds are making their contributions behind the scenes too). This is a cautionary tale for any citizen disarmament advocate who blithely assumes (as stupidly as the LAPD was last week) that the “authorities” are up [to] the challenges of the 4GW civil war that their appetites seem bent upon creating.”  In short, “…the resources of the modern surveillance police state are not even up to the challenge of one madman, let alone a determined, thinking  minority.”

A lone, murderous psychopath had the entire LAPD running in circles as unhinged officers shot at old ladies delivering newspapers and skinny white guys rather than the 260 lb black murderer who was the actual subject of their hunt!

And incredibly, Christopher Dorner became a cult hero of sorts with loons throughout the nation! Obviously, his was not the “morally superior side” by any means. Yet, though certainly deluded, many people were “…rooting for someone who was wronged to get a kind of revenge against the system.”

If this wholly unsympathetic psychopath can attract support—even though it may be the support of fools, racists, and leftists–imagine the backing that can be rallied by patriots fighting for the God-given right of all Americans to keep and bear arms!

“One man” tied up countless police and perhaps federal …read more

Dorner was hiding in nearby condo during manhunt

Fugitive ex-cop Christopher Dorner hid in a mountain condominium as a door-to-door manhunt took place outside and, after he finally made his break, apparently killed himself with a gunshot to the head amid a fiery battle with police.

Dorner is believed to have entered the condo through an unlocked door sometime Feb. 7, soon after he arrived in the resort area of Big Bear Lake after killing three people. He locked the door and hunkered down for six days until the condo’s owners came to clean it, San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon told reporters Friday.

Deputies knocked on the door that first night but moved on when they found it locked and with no sign of a break-in, McMahon said.

“Our deputy knocked on that door and did not get an answer, and in hindsight it’s probably a good thing that he did not answer based on his actions before and after that event,” the sheriff said of Dorner.

When the owners arrived, he tied them up and fled in their car, leading to a chase, a shootout that killed a sheriff’s deputy and, ultimately, Dorner’s death in a remote cabin where he barricaded himself for a last stand.

Police initially weren’t sure if Dorner was killed by one of their bullets or by a fire sparked when they launched incendiary tear gas inside. Now they believe he died by his own hand as the cabin was going up in flames.

“When about a quarter of the cabin was on fire, we heard a distinct single gunshot come from inside the house which was a much different-sounding shot than what he’d been shooting at us,” sheriff’s Capt. Kevin Lacy said.

Dorner was equipped with an arsenal of weapons, including assault rifles with flash suppressors that masked the sound of gunfire and the location it was coming from as he pelted the first two deputies to arrive at the cabin, killing Det. Jeremiah MacKay.

“Our officers had not even pulled their guns out at that point and were not prepared to engage anybody and they were ambushed,” McMahon said.

The next five responding deputies got into a fierce firefight with bullets whizzing through trees. They deployed smoke bombs to block Dorner’s view so they could pull McKay’s wounded partner to safety as other …read more

Fugitive ex-cop Christopher Dorner died from gunshot to head, sheriff says

Authorities say fugitive former cop Christopher Dorner died of a single gunshot wound to the head as authorities were pumping tear gas into a mountain cabin during a deadly gun battle with sheriff’s deputies.

San Bernardino County sheriff’s Capt. Sheriff John McMahon told reporters Friday that it appears the wound was self-inflicted.

Deputies said they heard one final gunshot from the cabin as it was going up in flames during Tuesday’s gunbattle.

Before he died, Dorner killed one sheriff’s deputy and wounded another during a fierce shootout.

Authorities initially were unsure whether Dorner killed himself, had been struck by a deputy’s bullet or had died in a fire that engulfed the cabin during the shootout.

Sheriff Confirms: Body Was Dorner's

Charred remains found in cabin positively ID'd as Christopher Dorner, police report

Charred remains found in a burned out California cabin have been positively identified as that of fugitive ex-cop Christopher Dorner, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday.

San Bernardino County sheriff’s spokeswoman Jodi Miller said the remains were identified through dental examination in the autopsy. Authorities said other personal effects were found in the cabin, including Dorner’s license.

Miller did not give a cause of death.

The search for Dorner began last week after authorities said he had launched a deadly revenge campaign against the Los Angeles Police Department for his firing, warning that he would bring “warfare” to LAPD officers and their families.

The manhunt brought police to Big Bear Lake, 80 miles east of Los Angeles, where they found Dorner’s burned-out pickup truck abandoned. His footprints disappeared on frozen soil and hundreds of officers who searched the area and checked out each building failed to find him.

Five days later, but just a stone’s throw from a command post authorities had set up in the massive manhunt, Karen and Jim Reynolds said they came face to face with Dorner inside their cabin-style condo.

The couple said Dorner bound them and put pillowcases on their heads. At one point, he explained that he had been there for days.

“He said `I don’t have a problem with you, so I’m not going to hurt you,”‘ Jim Reynolds said. “I didn’t believe him; I thought he was going to kill us.”

Police have not commented on the Reynolds’ account, but it renews questions about the thoroughness of a search for a man who authorities declared was armed and extremely dangerous as they hunted him across the Southwest and Mexico.

“They said they went door-to-door but then he’s right there under their noses. Makes you wonder if the police even knew what they were doing,” resident Shannon Schroepfer said. “He was probably sitting there laughing at them the whole time.”

The notion of him holed up just across the street from the command post was shocking to many, but not totally surprising to some experts familiar with the complications of such a manhunt.

“Chilling. That’s the only word I could use for that,” said Ed Tatosian, a retired SWAT commander for the Sacramento Police Department. “It’s not an unfathomable oversight. We’re human. It happens. It’s chilling (that) it does happen.”

Law enforcement officers, who had gathered outside daily for briefings, were stunned by the revelation. One official later looking on Google Earth exclaimed that he’d parked right across the street from the Reynolds’ cabin each day.

The Reynolds said Dorner was upstairs in the rental unit Tuesday when they arrived to ready it for vacationers. Dorner, who at the time was being sought for three killings, confronted the Reynolds with a drawn gun, “jumped out and hollered `stay calm,”‘ Jim Reynolds said during a Wednesday night news conference.

His wife screamed and ran downstairs but Dorner caught her, Reynolds said. The couple said they were taken to a bedroom where he ordered them to lie on a bed and then on the floor. Dorner bound …read more

Media Whitewash Killer’s Leftist Ties

By B. Christopher Agee

Christopher Dorner SC Media whitewash killers leftist ties

When a high-profile murder comes across the desk of those in the mainstream media, the initial reaction is to find some tie to conservatism. If none can be found, the more militant ideologues in the press will simply blame conservative talk radio.

Noticeably absent from the overwhelming coverage of the manhunt for murderous ex-police officer Christopher Dorner, however, are his obvious ties to radical leftism.

Instead, Dorner has unbelievably become a role model among many progressives.

Contained in the rambling manifesto he left behind, he is a firm supporter of Barack Obama and is a fan of the unquestionably left-leaning MSNBC network.

Such information is almost universally ignored by so-called journalists, with the exception of many in the alternative media.

Rush Limbaugh, for instance, lambasted media hacks for their attempts to rationalize and even excuse the loss of innocent life caused by Dorner’s actions.

Journalists are “relegating the murder aspect of what the guy’s doing to secondary status,” he said, “and the primary thing we must see is his intellect.”

Perhaps more upsetting – since leftist reporters covering up unflattering news is nothing new – is the level of support Dorner is receiving by those on the left.

Within a few days of his killing spree and subsequent disappearance, social media has erupted with signs of praise and hero worship directed toward him because of his far-left political stance.

An an example, one Facebook page calls for a Dorner presidency. Even more disturbing are the comments by members of these pages.

One user called him “god” while another declared, “I submit fully to the absolute power of Christopher Dorner and the cause of a People’s Stalinist America.”

Hypocrisy among leftists is far too common to exhaustively chronicle. However, their sycophantic treatment of a killer while simultaneously calling for the disarmament of American citizens constitutes just such an instance.

Racism Doesn’t License Rampages!

By capblack

Nadra Enzi Racism Doesnt License Rampages!

Since Black male Facebook manifestos are all the rage lately, here’s mine, posted Tuesday, Feb 12th, 2013:

RACISM DOESN’T LICENSE RAMPAGES! CAP BLACK, THE HOOD CONSERVATIVE”S FACE BOOK MANIFESTO:

Just because I think some White folks mistreat me doesn’t grant me a hunting license to run around like a chocolate Klansman, stalking people the classic way.

Liberals would tell me I have every right to rampage against racism, so long as I don’t do so against them. LOL

Playing barbarian at the gate against police, banks, and other conservative institutions is better than X-Box for them.

There are only three empty roles the Left offers Black men: rampager (as Christopher Dorner is alleged to be), recipient of Demo-crack addiction in the form of social services or reflection, or an empty suit repeating their doctrine.

Growing up in a town (Savannah, GA) with a surplus of reddened necks in my youth, I knew I couldn’t sink to being the Black version of such mindless bigotry.

Committing crime gift-wraps Black men and presents them to America’s bigots, who triumphantly trumpet, “See, I told you so! They’re animals!”

The same liberals cheering on Black criminals are themselves not incarcerated nor under state supervision.

They sit safely at home or in academia, far removed from your misdeeds.

My message to Brothers my color and Brothers who aren’t is:

RACISM DOESN’T LICENSE RAMPAGES!

The second you go “Klansman” in response to perceived bias, you just obscured your cause behind the crime!

Calif. couple says Dorner tied them up, stole car

A Southern California couple says Christopher Dorner tied them up in their mountain cabin and stole their car hours before his presumed death in a fiery confrontation with law enforcement.

Jim and Karen Reynolds say Dorner confronted them with a gun Tuesday at the condo, which is a short walk from the manhunt command post.

Authorities had hunted the ex-Los Angeles police officer for days in the San Bernardino Mountains east of LA.

The Reynolds say they thought Dorner would shoot them, even though he repeatedly said he just wanted to clear his name and wouldn’t hurt them.

He bound and gagged the couple and stole their car, then Karen Reynolds managed to call 911.

Dorner is believed to have died hours later in a burning cabin.

The Incredibly Foolish Chief Charlie Beck

By Dr. Kevin "Coach" Collins

Charlie Beck SC The incredibly foolish Chief Charlie Beck

LA Police Chief Charlie Beck has made a bad decision.

Life is a series of decisions. No one should understand this more than Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck. For obvious reasons, in any situation, your ideal position is one of “win or break even.” Those who are in the public area, especially big city police chiefs, more often than not find themselves in the opposite position: “lose or break even”; but that’s part of the job.

Since the “lose or break even” dilemma is virtually unavoidable as a rule, voluntarily placing yourself in one is especially foolish. When the best you can do is not lose, you ought to not go there; but Chief Beck doesn’t seem to understand this simple logic.

Beck was in the unenviable position of overseeing the everyday functions of a big city police department AND supervising the most important manhunt in recent memory. But at the top of his “to do” list was finding Christopher Dorner, a hate-filled mongrel who wanted to kill cops because he was fired from the LAPD in 2007.

As a rookie, Dorner was judged to have falsely reported seeing his training officer kick a mentally ill man during an arrest. The evidence against Dorner was persuasive enough to get him fired.

So Dorner went on a killing spree aimed at getting even with those he believed responsible for his firing. He had already killed three people, including the daughter of the police captain who unsuccessfully represented him in his hearing and her companion. A few hours later, he ambushed two on-duty uniformed police officers, killing one and wounding the other.

Clearly, Beck had big problems; but he added to them by announcing he would review Dorner’s case. This was foolish beyond words! What could have happened as a result of that review? The firing could have been found to be unjust; but whether a correct conclusion or not, Beck would have looked like a sap and a weakling just at a time when his officers needed him to stand tall and strong.

If the review upheld Dorner’s firing, Beck would have gained nothing.  But more importantly, while men under his command were being killed by a monster and psychopath, Beck would have clearly made himself appear more concerned with the political correctness of a 6 year old internal review than with the lives of his officers. But apparently, special allowances had to be made, what with Dorner being a black officer. After all, what if he were somehow justified in murdering those who had been “unfair” to him?

It’s bad enough that Beck voluntarily put himself and his department in a “lose or break even” box. Now every officer in the Department will wonder whether their Chief is more concerned with the safety of his men or the politics of the next life-and-death situation.

Beck might have caught Dorner, but he made his job one Hell of a lot tougher in the future.

Couple says fugitive ex-cop Dorner tied them up in home, stole their car before presumed death

A California couple says they were tied up in their mountain condominium by a fugitive ex-cop who allegedly killed four people before presumably dying after a firefight with law enforcement.

Karen and Jim Reynolds recounted their encounter with Christopher Dorner in chilling detail at a news conference Wednesday, saying Dorner rushed them when they entered the unit Tuesday.

“I thought we were dead,” Jim Reynolds said according to MyFoxLA.com. “Really, it was pretty scary.”

The couple said they immediately recognized Dorner from news reports, and although he said he did not want to hurt them, he put pillowcases over their heads and tied up their arms.

Jim Reynolds says Dorner told them, “I don’t have a problem with you, I just want to clear my name.”

The couple says Dorner fled in their purple Nissan. Karen Reynolds was able to reach her cell phone and dial 911.

Authorities couldn’t immediately verify the couple’s story to The Associated Press, but it matched early reports from law enforcement officials. Later reports said the incident involved two women from a cleaning crew.

The couple spoke out after authorities announced in an afternoon press conference that they believed the nearly week-long manhunt for Dorner was over, even though human remains found in the burned out cabin where he was believed to have been hiding have not yet been identified.

An official briefed on the investigation tells The Associated Press that a wallet with a California driver’s license with the name Christopher Dorner has been found in the burned rubble of a cabin.

San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon also addressed mounting speculation over whether police had purposely started a fire to smoke out Dorner, saying his deputies did not intentionally start the fire.

McMahon said deputies shot pyrotechnic tear gas into the cabin and it erupted in flames. He says the tactic was intended to drive Dorner out, but it was not their intention to set the cabin on fire. McMahon did not say directly that the tear gas started the blaze and the cause of the fire remained unclear.

The saga that had gripped the nation ended when a man believed to be Dorner barricaded himself in a vacant cabin after stealing two cars and took part in a shootout, in which he killed one sheriff’s deputy and wounded another.

Game wardens from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife spotted the Reynolds’ purple Nissan Tuesday going in the opposite direction and gave chase, department spokesman Lt. Patrick Foy said. The driver looked like Dorner.

They lost the purple car after it passed a school bus and turned onto a side road, but two other Fish and Wildlife patrols turned up that road a short time later, and were searching for the car when a white pickup truck sped erratically toward the wardens.

“He took a close look at the driver and realized it was the suspect,” Foy said.

Dorner, who allegedly stole the pickup truck at gunpoint after crashing the Nissan, rolled down a window and opened fire on the wardens, striking a warden’s truck more than …read more

Profiles of 4 believed killed by ex-LA policeman

Fugitive ex-Los Angeles police officer Christopher Dorner was charged Monday with killing a Riverside police officer. He also is suspected of killing an Irvine couple after declaring a revenge war on law enforcement in an alleged online rant. Here’s a look at the victims:

MONICA QUAN

Monica Quan, 28, and her fiance, Keith Lawrence, 27, were found shot in his car in the parking structure of their Irvine condominium complex on Feb. 3.

Quan was in her second year as assistant women’s basketball coach at California State University, Fullerton — the culmination of her love for the game that began when she was a child.

A standout high school basketball player, Quan once dreamed of playing professionally for the Los Angeles Sparks. She had a reputation for being fiery and intense.

Quan met Lawrence while both were playing basketball at Concordia University in Irvine.

After several coaching jobs, she joined Fullerton, where she was known as “Coach Mo.”

“I loved her work ethic. I loved her passion for life,” head coach Marcia Foster said.

Quan’s father, Randal, was the first Chinese-American captain in the Los Angeles Police Department. Later, as an attorney, he represented Dorner in the officer’s failed appeal of his dismissal to a department Board of Rights.

Dorner allegedly posted an online rant naming Quan and others that says: “I never had the opportunity to have a family of my own, I’m terminating yours.”

KEITH LAWRENCE

Keith Lawrence loved basketball so much that he would drive miles for a pickup game. But his professional goal was to be a cop.

In August, he was hired as an armed public safety officer at the University of Southern California, where he was praised for his professionalism. Before taking the job, he attended the Ventura County Sheriff’s Academy and trained with Oxnard police.

He grew up playing basketball. As a player in high school and at Concordia University, he was known for his calm, no-drama attitude, even after scoring a half-court …read more

Christopher Dorner Isn’t Malcolm X 2.0

By capblack

Malcolm X SC Christopher Dorner Isnt Malcolm X 2.0

Like many American Blacks, the late El Hajj Malik Shabazz (here after Malcolm X) made an impression upon me.

It’s through the lens of this impression that I now view the Christopher Dorner case.

Surprisingly to some, Dorner enjoys an active fan base of otherwise opposed progressives and constitutionalists who mutually mistrust police, especially the LAPD.

I could make the obligatory anti-LAPD statement; but suffice it to say, I too find them heavy-handed yet also recognize the hyper-violent opposition they face.

When poor people of all colors run wild in the streets, they prompt creation of municipal armies like this department to combat them.

Critics of his day (and now) accused Malcolm X of being a racist and proponent of violence.

To his credit, he always preached restraint and obeying the law, including using self-defense statutes- a stance, along with his White liberal critique, which endears him to numerous modern conservatives.

His quote “I don’t even call it violence when it’s in self-defense; I call it intelligence” could have been made by current conservative state legislators while drafting “Stand Your Ground” laws.

Unlike Malcolm X, Dorner chose as his first two victims folks not involved in his LAPD grievance. He allegedly gunned down an unarmed woman and man, not quite a Malcolm X move.

The silence from Dorner’s groupies is deafening over this gruesome issue. Condoning private brutality like this to oppose police brutality places them in the same league as Rodney King’s tormentors and the uniformed drug-dealing assassins of the Rampart Division scandal.

Even the police officers he shot (one of whom died) played no role in his termination from the department.

LAPD’s brutality and corruption are used to cloak a private variety as extra-legal retaliation.

Yet another non-Malcolm X stance.

His White liberal supporters must grin and bear it in the face of statements like this from his famous lecture titled “God’s Judgement of White America,” better known as his “The Chickens Come Home To Roost” speech:

The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way: the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro’s friend and benefactor; and by winning the friendship, allegiance, and support of the Negro, the white liberal is able to use the Negro as a pawn or tool in this political “football game” that is constantly raging between the white liberals and white conservatives.

This December 4, 1963 presentation prompted the late Elijah Muhammad to suspend him from the Nation of Islam for describing the Kennedy assassination “as chickens coming home to roost.”

It also led to his leaving Black separatism for a more inclusive nationalism where he worked with anyone interested in human rights reform.

This included socialists and alarmed the US government to no small end as the heads of Soviet client states welcomed him with open arms overseas.

In the final analysis, Christopher Dorner is not Malcolm X 2.0. His violent response to injustice is at odds with …read more

Newsman finds himself in middle of shootout

A California television reporter found himself in the middle of a shootout while covering the tense standoff between San Bernadino police and fugitive ex-LA cop Christopher Dorner outside a mountain cabin.

CBS2/KCAL9 correspondent Carter Evans was reporting on the breaking news by cell phone when gunfire broke out. As Evans froze, a voice could be heard in the background telling him to “get out of here.”

“We got authorities yelling at us to get out of here, but we don’t know where to go, frankly to tell you the truth,” Evans told anchor Sandra Mitchell.….

“Uh, I see authorities, I’m going to have to speak quieter now, I have you on the speaker phone,” the newsman continued. “I see authorities honing in on an area on a cabin that is about 200 feet ahead of us right now. I see a lot of these authorities moving to take cover themselves.”

Bursts of gunfire then punctuated the dramatic broadcast.

“I hear some screaming, you heard all that gunfire,” Evans said. “I see a team of sheriff’s deputies in full-on fatigues with weapons drawn running toward us right now. We are down on the ground behind the wheels of our car right now and the door is open, I am talking to you on the speaker phone. We are right, right in the center of the action here, we are right where this is happening.”

The authorities were apparently trying to get Evans away from the scene.

“We’re trying to, we’re not moving from our vehicle, because this is a very fluid situation,” he said. “We’re staying here, we don’t want to get caught in the crossfire ourselves.”

A voice could be heard ordering Evans to “Come here!”

“Me?” Evans replied

More gunfire could be heard, and then the police officer became more emphatic with his warning to Evans.

“Hey! Get the f— out of here now!”
