(14,881 posts)Let us not forget the 4 murdered, innocent victims of Dorner, and their families, and the shot deputy and murdered deputy. By the time the police were after Dorner, he was an admitted murderer who was well armed and a trained killer.
Let us not forget 2 hostage victims who had to be terrified, and 1 carjacking victim who also was terrified. They lost property and the peace of mind that comes with some semblance of safety in going about your daily life.
Let us not forget the 3 innocent victims of the LA police, who at least lived to tell their stories. The stupid cops that shot at them are most likely to blame for the final ending to this tragedy.
I am very sad for Dorner's sorry ending to his life. His downfall probably started with untreated PTSD from his war service, and that is shameful. But once he started down the path to revenge, he was doomed.
By the time the police were trying to arrest Dorner, he was an admitted murderer who was both well armed and a trained killer.
That said, I'm sorry for Dorner's ending, but the police that cornered him knew he was well armed and trained in how they operate, as well as trained in military operations.
I'm just relieved there weren't any innocent people trapped in that cabin with him.
