Human nature changes little. There were those who rooted for Bonnie and Clyde. In fact, if you can appeal to people’s paranoia that the system is against them and create a demand for “social justice”, you can be the foulest, most evil piece of human scum and actually get elected President, I bet.

Why is Dorner so popular? Because his story (at least as he tells it) reads like a Hollywood action blockbuster: “Ex-cop is run off the force by corrupt officials and decides the only way to see Justice done is to kill them all.” These “young skulls full of mush” have been programmed for decades to distrust the police to the point of always assuming that all cops are dirty. It’s no wonder they see Dorner as a hero.

You would be wrong. The adoration is about what he is doing and what he has done, it would not matter to the scumbags if the LAPD was never mentioned.

Root for Dorner? What? It’s almost as if we are living in a society that enjoys playing Grand Theft Auto for 6 hours a day.

The LAPD racist? Tell you what. Just give me a list of the companies that aren’t racist. That would be easier.

Just when you stop and wonder how much fricken’ lower our Sacred Multi-Cultural, Morally-Relativist society can drill down,…. voila’, we see such as this.
…who’s got the cure and where in hell is it ?

I don’t think that a facebook page really shows any evidence that there’s some widespread movement in support of this lunatic out there. Other people (not you, Jack) are even trying to link Dorner to leftism or even Obama (and today Rush said some utterly ridiculous things). Your example of Breivik is absolutely right. I am sure there were fan pages there too, but lets not forget that if you look hard enough you can find nutcases on any topic on the internet.

what concerns me more in terms of policy is how do we identify people with psychologic problems amongst our most highly trained veterans and service members. I am sure that Dorner’s problems could have been avoided had someone been paying attention.

well, that is certainly true.

video games have NOTHING to do with psychos running amuck, Video games are 1st Amendment and are never proven to be shown to have any link to violence, just like guns are not related to violence.

Actually, the LAPD is an incredibly corrupt organization and there are many who view it as such.

   My take on this is that it is symptomatic of a general decline in the moral standards of our society when you have people taking to sites like Facebook to encourage an enraged character like Chris Dorner.  I hope that this gets turned around soon.  The man needs to be tracked down and taken in, if not taken down.

   I just don’t expect it to happen with the LAPD as it is, and with the current administration of the Justice Department.  In J Edgar Hoover’s FBI, Dorner would’ve become “Public Enemy #1″ and have at least two teams of agents tracking him down.

   As for Facebook, my dad had an account there, although he rarely ever checked it out.  Recently, he heard where conservative posts would be deleted from the site, but even some of the most extreme leftist rants would be left up.  He chose to delete his account and stay out of there.

Still has nothing to do with the adoration of so many for the guy. His support is coming from all over especially in the black community. Most of these people have no clue about the LAPD, have no personal experience with them, have no family or friends that have had dealings with them. Their only infatuated with this guy because he is a murderer who refuses to follow society rules. To them he is a hero. It would not have mattered if the LAPD was ever a part of the equation or if the LAPD was above reproach.

No one is “exploiting” evil for our own purposes. I am simply pointing out that to understand Dorner you have to understand the leftism that made him and guided his actions. In his manifesto, Dorner makes it quite clear that he is a man of the left and a devotee of pop culture. He openly rejects the Christian worldview and embraces the concept that evil is justified if it serves a greater purpose. Those are tenets of the left dating back to the French revolution and the Reign of Terror. Andrew Klaven has a good article on the subject at PJMedia. I heard some of Rush’s comments. I thought he was spot on with his analysis.

IMO, this is the legacy of guys like Herbert Marcuse from the “Frankfort School”

A worthless apologist, he (and others) attempted to give the left an intellectual basis for articulating and pursuing their goals without shame. They are rendered immune from charges of hypocrisy, because their cause is so “just”

And that’s the REALLY troubling part, isn’t it? That we KNOW for a certainty, that if this maniac were of the Conservative persuasion, that they’d rail against him until the sun burned out.

BUT, since he’s a fellow traveler, and he shares their objectives, nothing else matters.. You cite this fact and they will just stare at you with a blank face.. Because they really don’t care.

In their minds, there’s no double standard at work here.

For this reason, his followers are every bit as dangerous as Mr. Dorner. They don’t all carry guns, but they ruin lives all the same.. Their weapons are School Boards, Jury Boxes, Union cards, Tenured professorships, etc.. and there are far more of them.

thanks.

Spot the hell on! Just a matter of time until we go south permanently. Maybe its for the best. We rebuild the USA along the lines of the Founders and the Constitution and THIS TIME, we make sure the liberals get the boot to France.

Several of the leftist talking heads have already started to make excuses for Dorner. The excuse is the “culture of corruption at the LAPD” and the “systematic racism of the LAPD.” Of course, the mention the killings as unfortunate but …. I saw a story earlier that many of the people at the Huffington Post favor the guy.

Here are the links you requested.

Really??? You’re going to forcibly ship a hundred million people to France? How are you going to do that? How are going to pay for that? How are you going to get France to accept a hundred million of our nut jobs? Do you even have a clue?

Really? Having the Christian Dorners of the world out killing innocents to make some kind of statement is how we re-build our country along constitutional lines? Really? That’s “for the best”? Really? Do you even have a clue?

What do you expect, it’s California. This the State that believed that a leather glove wouldn’t shrink after being soaked in O.J’s ex wife’s Blood.

The dead brain Liberals have a Thug/Killer HERO now to worship and they think we are nuts. SICKO’S for sure!

This is new?

Local media outlets have noticed as well.

Perhaps the ESOTUS (empty suit of the US) could invite both parties in for a beer summit.

Then you should not have so emphatically shared something pulled from the air in ignorance. Apparently you have little talent for basic analysis of behavioral pattern imprinting. Do you also think gangster rap cop-killng, rape, murder themes have no effect? Wake up. “Garbage in- garbage out” is not just a cliche.

Realty is another world from your own affected, rather than consdered, view. Cause and effect is not that hard to see. In your case, I would expect your reacting, as in at least 2 posts in this thread is at least partly a result of brainwashing from too much MSM TV, one becomes full of opinions with no basis, but being socially liberal and politically correct.

You seem to be quick to repent when challenged. So maybe you will improve. Start by turning off all biased sources of news. Or maybe experiencing some of the violent gaming would be a dose of

“pulling from the air in ignorance” pretty much is accurate description of people who talk about violent video gaming in the same breath as gangster rap.

and now you are comparing video games to porn?!?! porn is an abomination, it violates god’s law and the moral code of marriage. It objectifies women.

and yes before you go hunting for an extreme example, there are indeed objectionable video games out there. But those have no mass market appeal.

I wish I coudl sit with you and share with you the incredible narrative of Mass Effect or the poetic justice of Assassin’s Creed. These are games where violence for it’s own sake is rejected and instead you have an honorable goal.

I wish I could share this with you so you would see for yourself.

that sarcasm is unwarranted since I never claimed he was less evil.

have you ever played a video game, Ari?

Quite frankly, it would be several bibliography pages long and since I do enough looking at research articles for my job, I will simply point you to some sources. PubMed, CINAHL, and other online medical databases are a good place to start. Although access to full-text usually requires a subscription. Google Scholar is probably the easiest to use, but yields limited results.

It is both sad and amusing that you would try and make Assassin’s Creed into a paragon of morality. A game whose sole point is to hunt down people and kill them.

you don’t know much about the game. You are literally trying to save humanity from disaster, by assembling pieces of “Eden”. And in fact if you complete missions on a rampage you are penalized; the way to “win” is to carry out your mission with surgical precision of killing the bad guys.

The key word is “kill.” War is often a necessary evil, but to minimize its consequences or reduce killing to scoring “points” on a video game is rather disturbing. It desensitizes people to real violence. I am not just picking on video games either. Some of the so-called “crime dramas” are every bit as morbid and disturbing.

sometimes, bad guys do need to be killed. A game that carefully sets up a scenario in which you have to make a careful decision about that is different from one in which you are rewarded for doing it indiscrimately.

well, the First Amendment trumps that argument. “some people might be offended” isn’t ever a valid argument.

Easy, you start with the mouthy ones!

If you read carefully, you would have read upthread I stated that banning such games is a non-starter because of our 1st Amendment. It is sacred in this country, as it should be. I never argued that “offense” is a valid argument, the research is though.
