The most disheartening event in the country this week wasn’t the State of the Union address, though that was certainly ugly enough.
And it wasn’t the finale of the Chris Dorner rampage, which was certainly horrific enough in its waste of human life.
From the standpoint of the picture it paints for us of America circa 2013, it’s the reaction to Dorner.
The reaction of the Left to Dorner is hideous enough. It’s personified by the vapid, disgusting and degenerate Marc Lamont Hill, who finds deep meaning – and excitement – in Dorner’s senseless mayhem and unhinged online ramblings…
If you look for more Dorner fanboys on the Left, you’ll find them. We’ll not belabor that; there isn’t much new there. As Andrew Klavan noted earlier this week, leftism is a philosophy of violence and it has been ever since Rousseau belched it forth from his spleen.
What’s worse, what’s worst, is that Dorner has his fanboys on the Right.
We now see people calling themselves members of the Tea Party who echo some of the same sentiments the Marc Lamont Hills of the world are bleating.
These sound a bit more sophisticated than the mind-numbingly stupid defense of Dorner as an anti-establishment superhero who satisfies an onanistic, Bill Ayers-esque fantasy about killing cops. But they’re just as ugly.
The “Tea Party” – and we use this description very guardedly – defenses of Los Angeles’ newest cop-killer are that by tracking him down, cornering him and ultimately (we think) bringing about his fiery demise at Big Bear Lake, law enforcement violated Dorner’s 4th Amendment and 6th Amendment rights.

Do you know any cops personally? Probably not. It’s easy to condemn an entire group based on the misdeeds of a few and the corruption in big cities.
I don’t care what anyone says, cops are, for the most part, good people doing a difficult job.
Of course I have known cops and other law enforcement, including family, in fact my step dad was a judge.
I have lived in big cities almost my entire life and know cops and their unions, and how they are destroying our cities.
Cops are government, they are union people, they are corrupt politically, and the work tends to attract insecure individuals who want to be “cops”, the incompetence, corruption, and lack of mission completing strategies and a typical job security, protect the jobs and bureaucracy and the democrat political machine mentality, explains why nothing changes and internal progress and self corrections are practically unheard of.
This was just another widespread debacle that gave the public a glimpse into what most of us know, law enforcement is just another city job.
When insulting a fellow Freeper, or insulting anyone, for that matter, with a salutation, it's proper to use a comma on BOTH sides of the insulting salutation:
"Well, Drama Queen, you do not.........."
It is also proper to capitalize the salutation.
Well, at least you stay in character, and just as irrelevant and out of touch.
