In reply to the discussion: Protesters show support for Christopher Dorner [View all]geek tragedy
(68,868 posts)40. The Facebook group is called "I support Christopher Jordan Dorner.”
Even Randall Terry didn't go so far as to say "I support Scott Roeder."
And this statement of yours making him some kind of martyr is desperately removed from reality:
Of course, you have every right to say that it was alright to kill the messenger, the LAPD and their cop friends certainly performed that function.
1) Chris Dorner was killed by Chris Dorner, not the police
2) He died in an armed standoff with police because he went around shooting cops and people who were the children of cops, and refused to surrender as was his lawful duty. He did not die because of what he said, he died as a direct result of his own violent path.
Chris Dorner was not the messenger, he was the murderer.
So, you really need to come to terms with reality and facts before making such trivial arguments that sound an awful lot like Randall Terry sticking up for Scott Roeder.
