Chris Dorner has vanished and he may be armed with shoulder-fired missiles and a .50 caliber rifle

89. I'm not looking forward to the opposing killing each other, though...

There was on DU today the story of a Taliban or wannabe Taliban planning to bomb a bank to start an overreaction by the police to precipitate a RW reaction. Rather, a civil war.

Pretty convoluted stuff there, but he was being watched and got caught in a sting. He thought this was a great idea to change the world, do his duty to Jihad, or whatever.

This scheme isn't new, it's a staple with the Nazis and the KKK, and it's really not gone away. The case of the soldier from WA leading a gang to go and take over a military base and kill Obama, and all of that, is the same stuff.

Now this man, who some claim did not kill those people (but I can't imagine why anyone else would, forgive me, I can't) is on the loose and being made a folk hero by some people. Those folks are aggrieved at things in general, and racism and the PD in particular, and think he'll spark something. He may be a lone individual - perhaps he is not alone.

We're online and in a bubble, possibly all FOS, but here we are trying to figure out the truth here. I understand the dark humor, but this is tragic, no matter what.
