39. And this is how false info gets spread. For the record, I thought 99th Monkey's unedited OP

Feb 2013

was rash and conspiracy theory-ish and I don't support it He in no way even HINTED that Obama wanted Dorner killed. Not once, not ever.

The post in question posits that Dorner's crimes may be a set up in order for law enforcement to further exploit the tools of Obama's surveillance state. He didn't even make the claim that Obama set it up to expand the surveillance. He seems to pointing at the LAPD as the instigator.

Anyway, people went off half-cocked and read into the words a message that wasn't even there. The post was ill-thought out and 99th Monkey admits to that. (He has admitted it several times) and he edited to better convey what he was trying to say.

that was lame JI7 Feb 2013 #1
Actually, it wasnt lame at all. darkangel218 Feb 2013 #4

Do you concede that it's a defensible viewpoint geek tragedy Feb 2013 #22
In general, sure, that is a legitimate use of force by police in the appropriate circumstances quinnox Feb 2013 #43
Just like those who disagree with you don't like being labeled bloodthirsty cowboys. geek tragedy Feb 2013 #51
