story from 2002 about Chris Dorner, turned in $7,792 in cash and checks he and friend found

[The Straight Story]

ENID, Okla. —

Editor’s note: This story was published in the Enid News & Eagle on Nov. 5, 2002.

The military stresses integrity. It is apparently a lesson learned well by two Vance Air Force Base students.

An Enid church is a little richer today thanks to the integrity of Lt. Andrew Baugher, a Marine student at Vance, and Ensign Chris Dorner, a Navy student pilot.

The two were driving into Enid Sunday afternoon when they spotted a bank bag in the middle of the road.

After turning around, they picked up the bag and found it contained nearly $8,000. They promptly took the bag to the Enid Police Department

The money belongs to Enid Korean Church of Grace, 724 W. Randolph, and the bag contained $7,792 in cash and checks.

...

Not everyone would have returned the money, but Baugher and Dorner said “it’s an integrity thing.”

Both were taught honest as children, and integrity is stressed in their military training.

1. Such a crazy story. nt

[Mnemosyne]

2. I think Dorner became so disillusioned that he snapped. Sad story. nt

[silverweb]

3. That's what I think, too.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Absolutely tragic.

4. it is a tragic story, when I see all the pics of Dorner with his big warm smile

have to wonder what happened to him in the past few yrs.

[Taverner]

8. No - don't think. It can only hurt 'Murica

What, are you a DORNER WORSHIPER?

[sasha031]

19. my comment and it's pure speculation

is that he's had a breakdown along the way.
It's sad that he didn't get the help he needed before killing innocent people.

[Taverner]

20. +100

5. Exactly my thoughts as well at this time.

Seems like he was a generally decent guy trying to do the right things the right way and now has decided to shine light on the wrong things the wrong way, ie he snapped.

10. According to his manifesto he claims his career was stolen from him because

he blew the whistle on an abusive female cop known in the LAPD as "La Chupacabra" because of her reputation for drawing blood from arrestees.

Doesn't condone his killing that captain's daughter and her fiance. But it is feasible that he gave in to feelings of revenge and snapped.

6. You never know...

When anyone goes on a murderous rampage or gets caught as a serial killer, how often do we hear how the perp was "quiet, seemed nice, friendly, etc"?
I hope he is caught before anyone else, cop or innocent bystander, is killed.

[Taverner]

7. The story stinks to high heaven

But don't say that here, or they will accuse you of "worshiping" Dorner

And your posts get locked, you get banned...fun stuff

Any DUers who are supporting the LAPD at this point - either have some authority worship problems, or they aren't what they say they are

Fuck the LAPD! IT needs a serious enema. As does the OPD, SFPD and SDPD.

[frylock]

13. the LAPD lighting up the paper delivery truck yesterday underscores their abusive mentality..

fuck them.

[Taverner]

17. Yep

9. He was at LAPD 4 months before being shipped to Bahrain...

In addition to police work, Dorner served in the Naval Reserves, earning a rifle marksman ribbon and pistol expert medal. He served in a naval undersea warfare unit and various aviation training units, according to military records, and took a leave from the LAPD and deployed to Bahrain in 2006 and 2007.

Dorner graduated and served for only four months in the field before being deployed to the Middle East in 2006 and 2007. When he returned, he was assigned to a training officer, Sgt. Teresa Evans, who became increasingly alarmed at his conduct, according a summary of an interview with Evans in Dorner's disciplinary file.

The burly man with tattoos on his biceps repeatedly asked why he was not sent to reintegration training after his return from war and on one occasion, began weeping in the patrol car and demanded to be taken back to the police academy to be retrained, court documents show.

Yahoo

The LAPD didn't help to stop the mental unraveling of this young man, but when all truth is revealed (if it is?) I think this one will lie at the feet of the military. He's clearly been unstable for a long time.

This is just all too sad.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

11. Careful, you'll be accused by pearl-clutchers of being a Dorner "worshipper". eom

[Taverner]

18. +100

12. Unbelievable. This guy's ex-girlfriend described him as 'twisted' and 'paranoid'.

He killed two innocent people. And yet we want to somehow view him as 'noble'?

Unbelievable.

[The Straight Story]

14. Perhaps at one time he was

He is not now

[randome]

15. Yeah. The story by itself sounds great.

But we don't normally bring up the past good deeds of murderers in other situations so why now?

Maybe Dykes in Alabama did something good at one time. Let's investigate!

[The Straight Story]

16. We should bring out all info, same with adam lanza, etc

Helps to get a more full picture of what may have went wrong, where, etc and so on.

We don't just write biographies of people starting with the worst thing we did, best to start at the beginning.

What made him go from that to what is going on today? PTSD, multiple events in a domino effect, etc?

[randome]

21. You're right. In the end, it's good to know everything.

[Trascoli]

22. wow

where did the 8 go?

[Zax2me]

24. He's a murderer now. That is all he is.

I don't care if he once -
Visited sick children in the hospital.
Rescued puppies from the side of the road.
Returned money that was not his.

He murdered innocent people.
