Here we had a guy who was obviously not cut out to be a cop in the first place...sure...you can say he was wronged to some degree...but what is his response? To go nuts and murder innocent people. Another thing - he doesn't seem to have any respect for his own life...something that his kin fought for him to have over the generations.
This is a character flaw that is raising it's head more and more IMO and scares me (for the sake of my own kids). Do these young people think that if their lives don't go perfectly they don't have to work for the future?
The manifesto also reminded me of a "news special" I saw awhile back about young people in a muslim country. They were interviewing a young, fairly well educated person and asked that person about plans for the future. The answer was (I swear) "I want to work for Microsoft". The next question was "what if that doesn't work out for you?"...and the answer was "I may become a suicide bomber". Holy Cow! Is this becoming the generation of "get everything you want...or go out in a blaze of glory taking as many others out with you as you can?
As somebody who wasn't born with a whole lot of advantages, the son of a father who had less advantages, and a grandfather who had even less...I am simply stunned.
Now I realize that the vast majority of our youth today...at least the ones who were brought up right...understand what life is all about and actually have a "work ethic"...but more and more we are seeing these oddball young people (and I count Dorner as young - especially by his writing) who simply cannot accept things and do not have the patience to work over a lifetime to improve. It's mental and moral laziness IMO.
Thoughts?
Ooops...sorry about the incorrect link...I seldom create a post.
If they loaded the manifesto into Bambi’s teleprompter for the SOTU and he parroted it, nobody would bat an eye.
I call them leftists
Very rational analysis.
How did this clown get past both military and LAPD psychological testing?
So you finally looked into the heart of a liberal and found the Heart of Darkness that dwells inside all liberals, hidden far away behind the ‘empathetic’ gaze and compassionate half smile.
If they could get away with it, they’d kill us all and be done with it.
White kids are different, but similar in the fact that there is some reason they don't rule the world. Of course it's not racism, but it must be some reason that the apple of his mom's eye is a failure. They are spoiled from birth with dad's credit card and all of the sudden they have to make their own way and it gets hard very quick. If you have to move back to mom's basement, you can either play XBox all day or start killing school children to prove you still matter. How many will humble themselves and go to work at Burger King until they get a break?
Mark my words — Hollywood will soon lionize this loser in a movie starring Denzel Washington.
Entitled, they always got trophy’s because they are winners before. Now it’s not fair, and their going to get everyone back....
2 cents
By the way, Dorner is a stellar example of why the citizenry has an unalienable right to reliable Defense Rifles (they are not for assault, but for defense) with extended magazines.
when i read it a couple of days ago, i did not get that he expected everything to go his way... i got that he believed he was unjustly accused of something and lost his career over it... was he? i don't know... in any case, it does not justify his murder spree...
He is dead, dead, dead. I worthless piece of trash discarded into the trash. Good riddance.
I posted this earlier on the SOTU thread.
It was a reply to Jim Robinson.

I agree 100%
It’s just that today’s liberals/Progressives see communism and fascism as opposites.
They see conservatives represented by Republicans as the enemy and have put Republicans in the Fascist camp because it makes republicans easy targets.
It is my contention that Progressives think they are choosing the lesser of two evils. With no concept of life without top down control.
As 12 to 22 year old students learn the horror of Hitler, fascism and the holocaust, any force other than the US that fought them seems to have validity. A force that has at it’s foundation the utopian appeal of fairness and social justice. Nevermind the oppression, fear, purges and death required to achieve this utopia, it’s a work in progress after all.
Yes,
I know this.
Modern Liberalism and Progressives are a Death Cult.
They fear freedom, because it requires Faith in their fellow man.
They have no faith in their fellow man because they think everyone else thinks like them.
Selfish
Envious
Greedy
Prideful
and the list goes on.
They don’t trust us. Because they know themselves.
They don’t trust themselves, so they are perfectly happy to give control to the only higher power they can conceive.
I agree, it all comes down to belief in God.
Without God, there is no meaning to life.
Without meaning, everything is permissible.
In addition, I believe they suppress their own nature for self-gratification and convenience among their peers.
It is sad to say, but we are dealing with children, children that scream and yell, children that have found themselves in power.
They are fundamentally insecure and are fighting for their right to remain that way.

Young people these days are under a lot of pressure. Look at the debt they are going to have to pay off.
this guy’s ‘manifesto’ showed a fellow with a paranoid personality. his perception of reality was distinctly off. it is obvious he thought the world was against him and it was solely because of his race.
The liberals know they created the climate of hate that gives rise to this kind of activity and Dorner’s manifesto exposes that, so they are simply suppressing the manifesto.

A piece of wisdom I heard recently:
Men, when they’re young, blame others for failures, while women blame themselves.
As they get older, man start blaming themselves, while women blame... themselves.
