Christopher Dorner: Hero or Menace?

[ThatGuyFromNukemHigh]

ok, I agree that in some cases it can not be as "black and white" as most would like... For instance, I would consider the men who overtook the terrorists on 9/11 on the 4th plane.... They knew that by overtaking the terrorists the plane would surely crash and the rest of their innocent co-passengers would die, but they may have saved hundreds, if not thousands, of lives by doing so and I would most certainly call their actions heroic (although I guess it could be argued the people would've died either way)... And I understand the glorification of serial killers and that they will certainly be remembered as much if not more than the great "heroes" of our time, it does not change their actions and the EVIL they were and are consumed with.... It is truly sad that anyone could possibly think that any of the men you mentioned are even slightly heroic and I'm scared to think of what the people who think that way are capable of themselves.... and Finally you started this thread under the headline "Christopher Dorner: Hero or Menace?" and while I understand you were trying to convey that there are people out there who are fucked up enough to actually think this guy is a Hero, you have to understand that by posting it as you did that some of us might come to question whether you, yourself, might feel that way

The Hero or Menace came about because I heard people calling him a Real Life Punisher, so I went with the standard Daily Bugle headline, and for the record, my opinion on Dorner is I understand his plight, as a minority myself racism within the police has to stop, and its not just in L.A., but everywhere in the world. His actions, which I do not condone, did infact bring global media attention to this issue.

How anyone could consider him a hero by any means after killing completely innocent people is completely beyond me, and if you're one of those people, then you should go check yourself in the nearest mental institution.

Actually, it depends on what it is you are considering 'heroic' on his part.

Some people consider him heroic for fighting for his beliefs but he went about it the wrong way.


I don't really consider him anything but dead at this point.


In all seriousness, though, he could have chosen a much better way to express his beliefs instead of killing people.....dude was a scumbag.

The only thing I ever saw on this story, was a disgruntled ex-employee who shot some co-workers and targeted civillians, nothing about LAPD racism.

There was a report that Dorner claimed the LAPD were racist.
