Christopher Dorner Fan Clubs Are Beyond Detestable

Christopher Dorner Fan Clubs Are Beyond Detestable.
America's Crappy Remake of Sympathy For The Devil



Christopher Dorner wanted to exact revenge for the fact that he had been fired from the LAPD. He apparently believed that the murders of Monica Quan and Keith Lawrence were necessary, yet not sufficient to fulfill that requirement. He hadn’t exacted true revenge until he called up Monica Quan’s father, Randall Quan, and taunted him about how easy it was to shoot his daughter.

What I described above tells me all I need to know about Christopher Dorner. Even in an older, more savage age, he could have been a man of honor if he were to have met Randall Quan somewhere and had it out with him man to man. Shooting the man’s daughter and then calling him up to rub it in should mark Christopher Dorner as a detestable coward, a man unfit for the role of the anti-hero. To root for Christopher Dorner is to root for genuine evil. This is America’s crappy remake of “Sympathy For The Devil.”

Yet thousands of Americans are currently doing just that. People are posting to Facebook that Dorner should run for President. One online page announces that “LAPD Cop Killer Christopher Dorner Is A Hero.”

He is not a hero - but I now suspect there is a lot more to this story than is being shown in the news.

I've got a gut feeling the system shafted him too. Pity he didn't try and do this the right way, now he's just a mad dog to be put down.

Why not root for evil? We let it run our country on a daily basis.....

after reading some of his manifesto i have to agree with you. i bet there will be a lot of background info that comes out after he is killed/captured. I think the media is checking into his claims but holding off on the stories until the manhunt ends.

The founders didn't make war on innocents simply because they were related to someone they had a personal quarrel with. That I'm aware of.

He needs to hope he's taken alive and that he gets O.J. Simpson's jury.

No, because freedom fighters dont spray acid in little girls faces, or blow up suicide bombs in marketplaces. Terrorists do these things.
