Never mind that night was about to fall and Dorner, hiding in a cabin near Big Bear Lake, had not given any evidence that he would surrender, even after numerous loudspeaker calls for him to give up. Never mind that there was a possibility that the former LAPD cop might have night goggles, and could have murdered more police officers if he escaped. Never mind that he was still in the cabin despite previous tear gas attempts to drive him out. Never mind that a demolition vehicle tore down most of the walls, thus leaving the interior exposed. Never mind that Dorner was still firing at officers, as one officer said, “Any time they moved, this guy was shooting.”

Some new info....

Loud speaker warnings, night vision goggles??

Just minutes after the more powerful tear gas was used, the cabin was on fire.

For a few particular FReepers out there, NO, I DO NOT SUPPORT DORNER OR HIS ACTIONS!

I do question the precedent of police burning houses to get their suspects though when it is obvious it was their intent to kill all along.

I can hear the environmental freaks now..how dare the LAPD use tear gas, can you imagine the carbon emissions that lets off..then Darryl Hannah will come on TV demanding that instead of tear gas, they use canisters filled with pixie sticks

I heard a spokeswoman for the San Bernadino Sheriff's Dept. say on TV that they call that type of tear gas "burners" because they know it is flammable. FWIW.

I'm pretty sure the FBI knows it too.

All I have to say is, that's one heck of a fireproof mushroom in that photo.

How can a man trapped inside a cabin with presumably 1,000 rifles trained upon him even poke his head in a window without getting it blown off?

We're to believe he could pop up, set sights and fire without being shot?

I know what ya’ mean, Ron. You don’t have to agree with the perp....but it’s the principle of how Fedzilla (or local law enforcement) is handling situation and setting a precedent.

“What difference does it make...?!?!!”

“JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK IS BEING COVERED UP HERE...?!”

“You guys are running out of things to ask...!”

(see how easy that is?)

The question I am asking and they should be asking is the cost in manhours and dollars to find this one somewhat trained psyco.

We know there are collateral losses that will have to be paid for.

Seems like one man with a little training, some weapons, and an attitude costs a whole lot to resolve. And it doesn't get resolved quickly.

That's the take-away from the hot wash, anyway.

I often am a critic of the cops and they didn’t do very well on this one either such as shooting at innocent people who didn’t remotely fit the description

However once it was known he had killed several people and made no claim to have done anything else, He was bought and paid for. Unless he came out with his hands in the air they had every right and duty to kill him while he was still trying to kill more.

The taxpayers saved millions in trial and incarceration by Dorner being terminated right where he was discovered. Let us not forget he was a cruel cowardly mass murderer. Given this, I could care less if he was burned out or shot to death or committed suicide. He wanted to DIE HARD and he got it.

Remember, they had the FAA close off the whole area before anything happened - no news crews choppers were allowed anywhere near it, supposedly to “protect” them. I thought that suspicious. I knew then that Dorner wasn’t coming out alive, no matter what (not that I cared, either).

Were the LAPD/SBPD to say “h3ll, yea! (and point out that the BATFE/FBI honed the tactic at Waco,) I’d have a lot more respect for them.

Why is the party of abortion, death panels and drone strikes so worried?

Dorner will be voting for decades to come.
