(11,464 posts)Zimmy and Dorner had a lot in common.
Both went looking for blood and got it.
Zimmy of course wanted to remain around and watch those that took his side fawn over him,and spit on the rest who took him for what he was, a cold blooded asssassin.
So it is quite a stretch in the title to slant it that way, though of course that is what a good headline writer does on all issues.
Because subliminally, most people read what they want to read and disregard the rest, so the key words come through.
And I love writing good headlines myself.
but make no mistake, the cops did not perform vigilante justice on Dorner.
Dorner brought the entire thing on himself, in his terroristic ways.
He is most certainly, at no time, a hero.
and you just gave me an idea for another thread.
Thanks Manny! It's a great headline albeit I disagree with it, but its still a great headline.
my alltime favorite headline was the classic NY post headline
"Headless body found in topless bar"
