Christopher Dorner Vanished, May Have Very Powerful Weapons (Missile launcher, .50 cal rifle)

Alleged cop-killer Christopher Dorner has vanished.

More than 24 hours after Dorner allegedly shot and killed one police officer and injured two others, police say they have no idea where the former cop with a vendetta against police has gone.

"He could be anywhere at this point," Sheriff John McMahon of the San Bernadino County Sheriff's Department said today.

Police are also trying to determine whether Dorner left his burning car on the side of Big Bear Mountain and earlier dropped his badge in San Diego as diversionary tactics to distract police.

Wherever Dorner is, law enforcement officials fear that he may be heavily armed, possibly with a powerful .50 caliber rifle, which shoots five-inch long bullets that can pierce bullet proof vests and vehicles, as well as a shoulder-fired missile launcher.

Dorner, 33, a former Los Angeles police officer and Navy reservist, sparked a region-wide dragnet after allegedly killing two civilians on Sunday and releasing an angry "manifesto" airing grievances against the LAPD and warning of coming violence toward cops.

In the manifesto Dorner published online, he threatened at least 12 people by name, along with their families.

"Your lack of ethics and conspiring to wrong a just individual are over. Suppressing the truth will lead to deadly consequences for you and your family," Dorner wrote in his manifesto...

They were caught by a combination of police work and concerned citizens.

The police started recording license plates driving away from shootings and got some repeat business. They traced those, and narrowed it down to a particular car and license. A trucker spotted their car and blocked it in, and blocked them in until the police arrived.

This reminds me of a movie where a green beret escapes to the mountains.

Had the same thoughts when I saw the sheriff holding a press conference this afternoon in the snow,,,started looking for the colonel to walk up and save the day,

This reminds me of a movie where a green beret escapes to the mountains.

It reminds me in a lot of movies, which is why I instructed my secretary this afternoon to contact Harrison Ford to see if he'd be interested.

Drilla hole in that bullet and slip a Bic pen refill and use it to write with. It freaks people out.

>>I think all Californians should turn in their weapons because that will help them be safe from Christopher Dorner.

Dorner should register his .50 cal.<<

Good thinking! They can arrest him when he comes in to register his weapon. Elegant.

I don’t know. There is a nagging thought in the back of my mind. It keeps saying, “Something is not adding up”.
I do not have any one thing in mind. Just ‘something’.

I wouldn’t dare tell you which former police chief Wolf Blitzer had on yesterday on CNN to get some “advice” of this guy.

Well they should offer him a $100 gift card for Walmarts to turn in that missile launcher. That should do it.

Once, about a year back, I sat inside a B-17 and listened to the pouring rain outside hammering on the thin skin of the airframe...I began to feel a profound sadness knowing that young aircrews had only that soda can skin between them and 30mm German cannon fire...

“Something is not adding up”.

Louie, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful conspiracy theory.

I wish these so called journalist would get their terminology correct.

Journalists write for their audience and most people in America aren't firearms enthusiasts. Therefore, guns shoot bullets, clips hold bullets, cartridges contain ink and magazines are something you read.

Consider that it appears that the LAPD has orders to shoot to kill regardless of collateral damage, and, as mentioned on another thread, that it appears that any hostage will be a primary target as well.
