His manifesto shows that he is not stupid, and that he is also coherent and organized.
He may wind up not being very easy to catch.
He knows LAPD procedure and it is notable that when he engaged in a shootout with the police, he retreated before back up arrived.
That is not standard behavior for the typical disorganized "suicide by cop" kind of guy.
If this guy don’t go down in a hail of bullets by sundown, I’ll be surprised...
If not it will likely mean this was really well planned out
PRESS CONFERENCE COMING UP...
Man...They want this guy bad...
His lengthy manifesto always reveals a strong undercurrent of victimhood and outright racism:
Terminating me for telling the truth of a caucasian officer kicking a mentally ill man is disgusting.
Those Caucasian officers who join South Bureau divisions (77th,SW,SE, an Harbor) with the sole intent to victimize minorities who are uneducated...
The department has not changed since the Rampart and Rodney King days...
From afar (and I certainly don't know Chris Dorner), he seems to fit the model of an affirmative action hire by the force. He reveals himself to not be very literate in his screed with inconsistent capitalization, spelling errors and substandard grammar. Those flaws may be due to his state of mind when writing the so-called manifesto but, on the other hand, it's probable that he's far from the best and brightest. Standards of core competency have been lowered to achieve the leftist goal of diversity in all professions.
Some of the comments in non-FR message boards compare him to Rambo. That's so wrong in so many ways, the reality is that Chris Dorner has a lot more in common with Black Panther Huey Newton.
He may wind up not being very easy to catch.
He has burned his truck up the mountain in the big bear area. Huge manhunt up there but if he has been planning this, he might have gotten off the mountain prior.
He is definitely a brighter, organized criminal with extensive police knowledge and skilled marksmanship. Wall to wall coverage here, they even preempted rush.
