I’ve seen enough Hollywood movies to know that until they find the body and check dental records, we’re all eggs and no chickens.

Do you mean because of him? Like the police officers he murdered?

Chris Dorner stood for true American values against an oppressive police force that used its manpower to push down the minorities. He was a real life superman, the world is sadder for his passing.

Superman would have if he went through the trauma that our hero Chris Dorner went through to atone for our sins.

This is a warning for you now. A lot of your posts have been trollish in nature, and the last few in this topic have crossed over the line. Stop posting in this manner.

I live in LA, and a local radio report on a news station began with, “Well, it may indeed be ‘Ash’ Wednesday for Christopher Dorner, assuming the remains are identified as his.” I get the humor in that, but that struck me as really unprofessional commentary. Which is not in any way to suggest I have sympathy for Dorner. It just seemed out-of-line given the situation.

A _real_ Dark Knight would have beheaded the hostages with the blessed black-handled scythe of righteousness +1 as a pre-emptive means of damage control.

I am curious if you are whooshing here or are seriously suggesting this is an appropriate course of action, given the circumstances.

If you are serious, you have crossed the line from inappropriate admiration to outright sycophancy, not to mention demonstrating a very malignant perspective around what it means to be an innocent party to a disagreement.
