Dorner was last seen with an M60 outside of Brian Dennehey's house.

This guy is a big problem for any PD, they’re probably going to have to bring in some other military snipers to hunt him down. |

I have no doubt they will bring in snipers, but first they have to find him. |

Something tells me that was a fair amount of sensationalizing at work by the media. He appears to be a qualified expert marksman, but if you gave me a week or so to get back into shooting form, I could possibly qualify expert as well. It takes a very good shot, but not a great one. And being a qualified marksman damn sure doesn't make you a 'sniper' in the sense that we think of; a guy hiding in bushes with windage instruments covered in deer piss so he doesn't spook the local fauna. He's going to be a tough target, but lets not act like he's about to start dropping guys at 1,000 meters or anything. |

You couldn't find a clip from First Blood? The rest of them kinda sucked... |

I believe the military has heat sensor devices they can point at the area he is in and pick up body movement and pin point him. Add a drone for watching him from above and shoot a missile at him. Technology is cool. |
I wonder how far it would have to go before they brought the military in.

Actually I wanted a clip of Brian Dennehey but couldn't find one that was short. |
They won't need military. They might need FBI because he may not even be in California anymore. But eventually he'll need money to keep going and someone's going to see him, and then they'll find him.

They better HOPE he isnt an actual sniper with a 50cal. |
The wife is "up the mountain" right now.
I always get nervous when she makes her yearly trek back to Cali but this year my ass is a spaghetti press... |
Quote:
Just a possibility, but pin point him first and send in a sniper team would be how i would approach it. |

NewChief is right - we have a guy that was probably wronged, but who ultimately also has a hell of a persecution complex and delusions of grandeur. And yeah, I bet he was a bit of a militant prick that was no fun to work with. I'm sorry, Tiger - you may be good, but you ain't that good. You're not going to just get the LAPD to scrap their playbook because you've read it before. Even a shitty plan is going to work with large numbers and technology on their side. Even if he does have a .50 cal, he's not going to shoulder-mount the thing and take on the National Guard. And seeing as how the only person he's actually managed to kill during this rampage was a woman and her boyfriend and not any of the armed, trained officers he's targeted, well something tells me the guy isn't nearly as good as he thinks he is. He'd have been smarter to just steal another boat and tool down to Mexico. |

His job on his last deployment was to protect a fixed asset. He's not really what you probably think of when you hear "sniper." He's actually much more dangerous than that. He's been trained in a variety of skills including wilderness/urban survival, knowledge of high and low tech weaponry, tactics and strategy, military history and police procedure. The mention of his marksmanship rank is a ploy by the media to interject as much drama into this story as they can, what it really means is that he is proficient with his firearms. The truth is that if he doesn't want to be found...he won't be. The real danger is that (according to his manifesto) he's not hiding and trying to get away, he's maintaining a tactical position while inflicting the highest possible casualty rate. You should feel happy that he's not coming for you. I know that I wouldn't want to go after him. I seriously doubt that our military forces want to either. But they might have to eventually. |

I bet they find him dead of a self-inflicted pretty soon. |

He's a dead man. |

He's been too quiet for too long. I'm guessing they find him leaning up against a tree with half a dome here in the near future. |
Quote:
He's got the best training in the world and he could hide under a refrigerator box with mud on his face and not even be noticed in an alley with his head down. Him going all "Rambo" and taking to the woods sounds like BS to me... |
Quote:
He's a ****ing mass-murdering psychopath. There's no justification for his actions. None. There's no reason to feel one iota of sympathy for him. It doesn't matter if he feels like somebody wronged him: there's no excuse for him to be a ****ing mass-murdering psychopath, and anyone who roots for him in any way is a ****ing idiot. I hope somebody shoots his dick off and he bleeds to death as slowly as painfully as possible. |

'Sniper' isn't really a role; it's a qualification given to the highest of the high speed. In essence, you take a SEAL (or some other high-end unit, depending on the branch) that was already qualified in all that stuff, you see that he is a crack shot, then you send him out to a long-distance range every day until he can shoot flees off a dogs ass. A 'Sniper' is going to have all the training you're discussing. That guy was trained to do all of that stuff well before he was given a big !@#$ing rifle and told to lay still for awhile. And if they took his big !@#$ing rifle away, he'd be more than capable of gutting you with a rock while surviving off his own piss. |

I'd like to hear this man speak to both his actions and his accusations. The people he's killed are dead and shall remain dead one way or the other. If one of the same triggerhappy ****s that just shot up a couple of asian women in a blue pickup when they were looking for a single large black man in a grey pickup blow the guy away, we've gained nothing as a group. On the other hand, if the man faces trial and can somehow testify to this, we could either bring a great deal of corruption in the LAPD to light (which is the most likely scenario) or put the allegations to bed. Either way, it's a good thing for the rest of the country. But it's not going to happen. I think he's already dead. |

Let's be honest he is a Navy guy (outside of SEALS) he can't be that dangerous. |

I think Listo's overstating him a bit here. Again, if this guy was that hardcore, we'd already have 3 dead officers on our hands. Instead he just winged a couple of them and ran into hiding. I have no doubt that his experience in the force and his training in the Navy will help him here. However, I don't think he'll be this scourge of South County now that the LAPD has had the chance to mobilize and respond. The time for him to do his damage was at the start of the rampage. He could've done a lot of harm before the LAPD had the opportunity to counter-attack. Instead he took one shot, did a lousy job of it and then went into hiding. I'm glad he's not hunting me, mind you. But at the same time, I don't think he's going to get anyone else either. |
Upholding Rodney King's honor I guess...

I'm wondering why he didn't go a more serial killer route. So far his grand revenge has killed one cop he doesn't know, two family members of someone he hates, and wounded paperboys. He'd probably see being a serial killer as dishonorable and would risk not getting his manifesto out in the public, but so far the strongest case he's making is "beware psychos." PS: he did kill one officer yes? I thought he killed one and winged another. |
damn DJ i have agreed with you all they way till now. i dont think he will kill himself.
he wants an apology. after that he might |

he wants to clear his name on the subject of his firing. that wont happen, in his mind at least, until they apologize. he said the killings dont stop until that point and seems like a determined guy |
Quote:
That's funny |
Quote:
that i think the guy is going to continue on just like he said he would? |
Quote:

Quote:
It's about his allegations and the possibility that there is truth to them. I want him brought in so we can further dig into the merit of what he's saying for the protection of our citizenry. Yes, his 'right' to further testify may be forfeit in your eyes, but why should we disregard our right to further investigate? He would be a visible catalyst and someone that would certainly ensure that these investigations take place. If/when he dies, the investigations will be half-hearted internal reviews that whither up and die. |

I get that him being taken alive can keep his message in the spotlight longer, but what he wrote is not going to come up in his trial for any purpose other than convicting him, not convicting the LAPD. |
