"no one is supposed to have the slightest bit of interest
or curiosity about the back-story involved:"

uh, no.

Your post is inaccurate on one point after another.

People are coming to different conclusions. Shocking.

Personally, I think the guy is a narcissistic, self-aggrandizing murderer. His self-reporting? I'm not convinced he's a reliable reporter. Whether he is or isn't, the LAPD is clearly a department rife with corruption that needs some serious investigation.

I think he's sadistic, sick and wants to make others suffer. I reject that he was "pushed" over the edge. He waited YEARS to do this. You want to understand him? This is a man who held onto grudges and hate from elementary school. That is sick and should give you some indication of who his is.

Pushed my ass.

WTF is so "special" about Dorner & the LAPD, that unleashes Attack-Trolls on DU? [View all] 99th_Monkey Feb 2013 OP

Yeah...Dorner's in a firefight right now with Fish&Game & deputies after a home invasion. Maybe msanthrope Feb 2013 #1

Or now is good too. EOTE Feb 2013 #6

Well, I'm waiting for the part of the Manifesto that justifies a home invasion and shooting at Fish& msanthrope Feb 2013 #7

How dare you! Wait Wut Feb 2013 #22

Well, the leading authority on F&G shennanigans is Dorner! Which is why he shot at them! So let's msanthrope Feb 2013 #35

Oh, I'm sorry, you must be incredibly confused. EOTE Feb 2013 #25

No--I'm suggesting something quite different. I'm suggesting that using Mr. Dorner's complaints msanthrope Feb 2013 #46

The OP is asking why people are so intent on shutting down discussion of Dorner's motivations. EOTE Feb 2013 #49

Yeah....I'm really tired of trying to figure out the motivations of murderers. Adam Lanza had msanthrope Feb 2013 #68

Have fun with your anti-intellectualism. EOTE Feb 2013 #70

Educating yourself??? Off a Facebook page? Let me not stand in the way of your intellectual msanthrope Feb 2013 #90

You're the one talking about Facebook, not us. EOTE Feb 2013 #93

WOW iandhr Feb 2013 #109

Wow, you just showed no sympathy for his victims too! EOTE Feb 2013 #154

Maybe because he murdered innocent civilians? iandhr Feb 2013 #111

What on earth are you blabbering about? EOTE Feb 2013 #153

Good Grief. Your Posts Make the Point of the OP Rather Nicely dballance Feb 2013 #194

It isn't like that at all. Here's the difference. Threedifferentones Feb 2013 #196

Well I always wonder what makes a person go off like this. I always thought knowning southernyankeebelle Feb 2013 #26

There's very little to be learned to 'help the next person' right now. He's engaged in shooting msanthrope Feb 2013 #54

I still would love to know why he snapped that he would go down to murder like that. southernyankeebelle Feb 2013 #97

And how many times did we read that he'd NEVER harm anyone he didn't have involvement with? n/t cherokeeprogressive Feb 2013 #60

Why do want to shut down a perfectly reasonable discussion about the injustices suffered by a spree msanthrope Feb 2013 #71

I hadn't thought about that. Here in Big Bear they can be real assholes too. cherokeeprogressive Feb 2013 #73

We're being anti-intellectual, apparently. We're impeding the great understanding msanthrope Feb 2013 #95

And I have this burning yearning to understand his motivations... n/t cherokeeprogressive Feb 2013 #98

Of course. Because his motivations will prove what a tortured soul he is....nt msanthrope Feb 2013 #100

Where did you read that? EOTE Feb 2013 #74

Here's the FIRST time I read something like that... there have been many other instances. cherokeeprogressive Feb 2013 #79

That was 5 days AFTER he had already killed two innocents. EOTE Feb 2013 #89

And one just died obamanut2012 Feb 2013 #156

As the Republican Party dies more and more conservatives creep under our tent. rhett o rick Feb 2013 #56

Nailed it! AnotherMcIntosh Feb 2013 #113

Ah well this guy posted on the internet that he is responsible. iandhr Feb 2013 #131

Yes you are right. And the Conservatives among us would say that means he rhett o rick Feb 2013 #137

I would disagree with those people. iandhr Feb 2013 #174

He will probably himself give up his right to a trial by pleading guilty. iandhr Feb 2013 #175

It's a conservative trait to instinctually side with authority and power. Marr Feb 2013 #168

In my opinion, some posters have latched onto the fact that people are interested in the story DisgustipatedinCA Feb 2013 #4

It does appear to be the case, at least re: Dorner. Thanks for noticing. ~nt 99th_Monkey Feb 2013 #125

because it has reached the conspiracy theory stage JI7 Feb 2013 #5
