midnight rain

Did you guys listen to the audio feed posted earlier in the thread? They're clearly outlining the process of starting the fire.

We'll never know for sure what went down, but as I said before they clearly started the fire. By an account of one of the officers, Dorner tried to exit the cabin after the fire was started and was "pushed back in", I don't know if we ever got clarification on what he meant by that, but it's very possible he was trying to surrender and they weren't having it.

Of course we won't know any of that for sure because they forced all news choppers to leave the area.

Bottom line is I don't give a **** what happened as long as the guy is dead. They may have started the fire but I doubt that they'd force him back in if he was trying to surrender. It'd be more likely that he'd be shot instead of being lead back into the cabin.

The guy deserved what he got.

I don't think he was lead back into the cabin, he probably was shot at so there was no letting him escape.

Due process shouldn't be thrown out the window just because you disagree with the guy's actions.

Exo

The dude shot a ****ing police officer. He shot...a ****ing...cop. The chance of him not dying was miniture. If he din't kill anybody and was just a loony on the loose I'd be backing the call for due process. But...

A shot...a ****ing...police officer.

Like Fetcher said, murder is murder.

Also, I think the LAPD opening fire on two innocent civilian vehicles is both very telling of the way they were pursuing this case (they weren't taking him alive), and got to the heart of teh corruption that Dorner was talking about. Ironic.

Seems most people are assuming it was the tear gas that ignited the flames. Either way i'm with EXO on this **** this guy.

How could you say that when they talk about 'setting up the burners' and 'burning that mother****er down'?

It wasn't an accidental fire dude.

FRED HALE SR.

They also couldn;t confirm that was a legitimate police scanner. And burner is slang for tear gas.

It was the same police scanner I posted in the thread, I was listening to it as it happened.

And the 'burn the guy down' part was caught by a cameraman at the scene I believe

FRED HALE SR.

From what I could gather they said were gonna use the burner just like we discussed. I don't recall any cameraman capturing the Burn the guy down thing you're referring to. Strange thing is no SB SHERIFFS had the Burners as they don't facillitate those, only LAPD had the Burners. I'm sure they had it out for him certainly.

Either way i'm hoping KH wasn't offended by my comments, I like his input on music and such. I just always come to the defense of Law Enforcement in general as several people in my family are involved in law enforcement and military. Its a tough job to do and there are times where you have to make a call no matter the outcome. I'm just thankful that this is all behind us and nobody else is gonna be harmed.
