Chris Dorner Fans Protest Standoff With Fu...

Frank Cardiel (L) and Shantel Cardiel hold up signs in support of fugitive triple murder suspect Christopher Dorner along the road in San Bernardino, California on February 12, 2013. Fugitive former US cop Christopher Dorner exchanged gunfire with police near a Californian ski resort where his burnt-out truck was found, reports said. The 33-year-old was involved in the shooting after he tried to burglarize a home near Big Bear, two hours east of Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing a law enforcement source.

      You’ll notice that these people weren’t saying, “Chris Dorner for President” or “Viva la Dorner,” they were calling on the LAPD not to kill the guy. And given the fact that this whole incident stemmed from an accusation of police brutality within said police department, that’s really not such an absurd request to make.

      Whether you think the LAPD is thoroughly corrupt or out to cover up some scandal, is a maniac like Chris Dorner really the kind of spokesperson you want to expose said alleged crimes? The man has a beef with the LAPD so he (allegedly) guns down the daughter of the man who represented him at his hearing and also kills her fiance? He has a beef with the LAPD so he ambushes two county deputies, not anyone in the LAPD? His accusations against a senior officer came two weeks after the alleged incident and the four witnesses all contradicted him. If the LAPD intimidated them all into lying, does anyone think Dorner rambling on about corruption on some news show is really going to get to the truth?

      I think it really comes down to whether or not you think there is validity to what Dorner said in his manifesto. If there is truth in what he wrote it seems like the LAPD would well deserve the investigations that would accompany Dorner’s trial. I’m hoping that these people don’t see him as some sort of messiah, but rather realize that all of this will be easily brushed under the rug if he isn’t captured alive.

      These people are idiots. The guy is a cold-blooded murderer. Or should I say WAS. Good riddance. Now our tax dollars don’t have to pay for this scum to get three squares and cable tv.

        So, you’re either a fascist, or a silly twit who sometimes makes ignorant comments about situations she doesn’t understand. I suspect it’s the latter.

      • Lael 3 months ago

        Mr. Sapiens (or whatever your real name is)…I am neither. While Dorner’s manifesto brings up some serious questions about the LAPD’s abuses of power, nothing they have done gives Dorner the right to target innocent people. You think it’s okay to kill the daughter of a police officer because you feel wronged by the officer? There is absolutely NOTHING that justifies what he did. I understand the situation just fine. Do you? Because if you did, I doubt you’d be bashing me just to sound witty. Agreeing with Dorner’s actions or supporting him in any way just brings your sanity into question.

      Look at all these racist people here in these comments. Always hoping the worst for a black man. For shame.

        What is it about Cali. that spawns such complete lunacy? Sadly it does not surprise me that there were a couple deadbeat hippies out there pushing their conspiracy theorist garbage. Im shocked how many are on here trying to defend the guy and defy all logic and common sense by spinning it as police injustice or racism??
        What has spawned all of these California nut jobs? The water? Smog? Libtard indoctrination? The oubreak of these conspiracy lunes has gotten rediculous! These people attempt to cloud reality and replace it with some radical paranoid delusion! Lets focus on facts:   The guy documented his intentions of mass murder and retaliation and had already killed more than enough people. He wanted to go out in a blaze of glory, so there ya go! He got just what he wanted, and was obviously a mental pychopath. To bring race or your dislike for the police into the equation is just a refusal to accept REALITY!! And why is it that when a black guy commits a crime like this (think O.J.) do so many blacks try to instantly create a scandal (either throwing the race card or police conspiracy) that justifies his actions, but if it was a white guy hes a crazy cracker and guilty as hell? I’ll probably be deemed a racist for even shedding light on the hypocrisy…but someone should point out the disconnect from reality when a persons radical baggage wont allow them to think rationally!

      • richardk18 3 months ago

        Your racist radical viewpoints have reveiled you lack of intellect or rationality! You are a mere circus clown with NO real redeeming value in normal society. Stay in the ghetto where you belong and dont breathe any of my Republican air please!! ;)

      The only legit reason these people should be holding these signs is if Dorner was there with a sniper rifle trained on them and making them do it. Some people are just idiots.
