Re: Dorner. Crazy. Right?

This Dorner guy that shot up a co worker and some one connected to his Union. News is going off about just how crazy he is and what a crazy manifesto he wrote and what a cold blooded killer he is and on and on and on. THen they kept going some more and I thought, "this is starting to sound like propaganda". I mean, we all know it is wrong to try to settle any scores outside of the legal bounds of the law. Killing is always wrong, I mean, murdering is always wrong. Violence against law enforcement is always wrong.
But it sounds like he had some issues regarding police brutality that he tried deal with within the legal framework. And got no where. We all know cops have the possibility of being corrupt. We all know the Unions have the ability to be corrupt. What does a person who is involved in law enforcement do when he can't get law enforcement to operate with in legal limits? When his Union, which has a legal requirement to stand up for him, fails him?
I want to make clear, I ABSOLUTELY CONDEMN USE OF UNLAWFUL VIOLENCE TO REMEDY ISSUES BETWEEN CITIZENS, OR BETWEEN CITIZENS AND THIER GOVERNMENT. But we all know "the system is broke". And when the system is broke how does someone try to fix it if there is not a legal viable avenue to do so? I think we are seeing more crimes committed by folks who have a serious beef with "the system". The killing of the sniper last week sounds like one more similar instance. One military man disgruntled about how our system is working/ why we are at war/ who we are at war with/ etc, thinks the best solution is to just kill another soldier.
As a citizen who has been involved in Occupy and other peaceful protests I believe that we have a duty to do every thing possible IN A PEACEFUL, NON VIOLENT way to affect the change that we feel we need. I am afraid that one day someone such as this Dorner is going to get the backing of our public, become a popular martyr and things are gonna get out of control fast.....
And that my friends will be the end of our right to own guns. When any large uprising occurs that is heavily armed our government will have every excuse to take every gun away from every citizen.
Thoughts?
Has anyone read the manifesto posted online? Yes he is mentally ill, but I just had the gut feeling he was telling the truth in what he was saying.
Truly, you make some great points. I don't feel so crazy now that someone else has put my exact thoughts into words. He is wrong and he will be judged by God, but I would urge ya'll to read his manifesto. I absolutely do not condone his actions in any way. He is wrong and it would complete justice for him to be killed upon sight. The point I am trying to make is we shouldn't shrug off his accusations. They should be investigated to the fullest extent. You don't just do what he has done without a deep bitterness inside.
Truly I disagree with much of what you have to say usually, but you are a true professional and I respect that. I agree with you here.
