Chris Dorner is an American Hero. I know, I know, no one wants to admit it out loud. I understand that the news reports claim that those of us supporting him online only do so because it is anonymously. That we would never show support for the man to our friends and family in real life. But this is not true. I walked in to my apartment last night and almost immediately started to explain to my girlfriend why I thought Chris Dorner is the tragic hero in this week long manhunt. What a way to begin our Valentines Day together.
Sure MSNBC and Fox News can tell us he is crazy, that he is a vicious murderer and that his wallet was found in a completely burnt down house next to his charred body. Sure CNN can play audio of police officers saying "bring in the burners" "we got fire" and "let it burn through to the basement". Yet instead of breaking the biggest news story of the decade "The LAPD Lies to National Media" they cover it up by bringing in talking heads who defend the cops position that the fire was started on accident. "Oh they must have been talking about the fire after it was started" is what they say with no remorse.
Instead of actually reporting the news these so called news agencies are activity covering it up. Yet when someone tries to source Info Wars they are called crazy conspiracy theorists. If someone tries to source The Young Turks they are just whiny liberals. At the same time the entire country sources CNN and MSNBC when these channels are activity lying to them! If the only thing Chris Dorner's case brought up in the national dialect was how media lies to us, then it was worth every bullet expended by both side.
Yet media lies are just the tip of this ice berg. What about the fact that bulky black men had to wear shirts that proclaimed they are not Chris Dorner and dark colored pick up trucks had to proclaim the same about their truck not being Dorners, in order to avoid being shot at. What about the fact that this past week you were more likely to be shot by an LAPD officer than Chris Dorner? What about the very relevant information shared in his manifesto about cops who break the rules and somehow advance in to leadership positions? While an officer who tries to blow the whistle and cross the blue line is fired for the simple fact that he didn't allow the department to get away with moral and constitutional abuses.
Chris Dorner is an American hero because he gave his life for our ability to start questioning the over arching abuses of police in not just LA but across the country. He is a hero because instead of letting them destroy his life and dying in obscurity he went and got his revenge. Isn't that what America does, seeks revenge for wrong doings. According to the official story 18 Islamic jihadists attacked us on 9/11 and because of it we've been at war with Afghanistan for 12 years now. They did us wrong so we invaded their country and started killing anything that moved. Innocent or not did not matter.
Where is the difference between our national urge to revenge ourselves and the individual urge to do so? When a man's life is taken from him and his name is completely ruined, that mans mind starts to do very odd things. Can you even imagine the depths that such a happy looking guy had to have reached for him to finally decide to go on a killing spree? Can you imagine the nights he spent all alone plotting such an elaborate scheme for revenge and the things that must have gone through his mind?
Can you feel the pain he must have been going though to start taking the lives of others?
Chris Dorner was a good man who wanted to help others. He hated seeing rampant racism in the department, he could not stand seeing the physical abuse officers took part in against every day citizens, he was done watching the LAPD cover up anything that could create negative press about them or end the career of a seasoned white officer.
Yet today, a couple days after Dorner's death, the LAPD must be starting their investigation in to the entire situation that took place on Big Bear Mountain. Yep the LAPD will investigate themselves and reveal that they did everything according to procedure. That's because they are going to straight up cover up and lie about what happened to Chris Dorner. The saddest part is that because main stream media all go along with anything they say, the majority of Americans will never know the truth about one of their greatest folk heroes. That he was murdered in cold blood by a department that is supposed to allow any suspected criminal the chance to surrender. A department that is not supposed to stoop as low as the criminals they are chasing.
Yet it is evident to anyone who has ears and eyes and an active internet connection that the LAPD stooped lower than Dorner could have ever imagined and took actions that justify every statement Dorner made in his manifesto. Dorner tied up a bunch of people this week and shot a few cops (and their families), while the cops shot a few innocent people and burnt a man to death. What makes one side right and one side wrong and who makes that judgement call?
This is all without even bringing up the idea that the manhunt was about to start using drones in American air space to track and possibly assassinate the suspect. This is a slippery slope we find ourselves in when talking heads on TV are suggesting that it is a good idea to use unmanned aerial drones in American air space, while other media figures are asking the question "If the cops did burn the place down on purpose, is there any way that could have been justified?"
What in the world is wrong with our mass media that they are so uninformed such questions are even asked? Is there any way to justify burning a man to death? Yeah sure claim he was a witch!
