All I can say is it would totally suck to be a 6' tall 300 lb. black man in southern California

[GObamaGO]

Right about now.

[Sheldon Cooper]

1. You got that right.

If my man fit that description I would beg him to stay home until this is resolved.

[itsrobert]

5. And cut out the Cheesecake.

And other desserts.

[Sheldon Cooper]

8. Heh.

That too!

[GObamaGO]

9. LOL

[Autumn]

2. Might suck to be an older Hispanic woman or a white guy.

Just saying.

[Control-Z]

16. Was going to say

something along the same lines. (I thought the older woman was Asian, but that's really not the point.)

[fleur-de-lisa]

3. Or a woman innocently delivering newspapers. eom.

[JI7]

4. most black men are used to being treated badly by cops so i think many

are prepared . but yeah, there is a bit more chance they will be harmed with what is happening now.

[flamingdem]

6. Cops are zeroing in on a shopping center in Northridge

right now. Everybody out there -- duck!!

[Control-Z]

18. Especially if you are not the shooter.

And you drive a car. Seems to be a bad combination.

[2naSalit]

27. ...

No doubt about that.

[kestrel91316]

7. Half the black community is in hiding right now.

They know LAPD is a whole lot of loose cannons.

[GObamaGO]

10. I don't blame them

What I do not get is why the investigation is not being headed up by the Irvine police department, since the original murder occurred there.

[kestrel91316]

14. Good point - I have NO idea. That's weird.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

21. More than just half

I bear more than a passing resemblance to him. I am keeping a very low profile...

[Enrique]

11. based on the people they've been shooting

6' tall 300 lb black men might be the safest people in L.A.

[GObamaGO]

12. Touche!

This is absolutely insane. (I live in SoCal, so I am in the middle of it).

[Baitball Blogger]

17. LOL!

[Booster]

13. So far they're the safest group around.

[intheflow]

22. Yup. n/t

[Kalidurga]

15. It's not so great if you are delivering newspapers or surfing either...

But, at least they got the gender of the last victim right. Plus I heard from another DUer that he was also a biped.

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. 200 lb white guy ain't safe either.

[frylock]

20. it's always been that way

[progressoid]

23. Or driving a pickup.

[Number23]

24. More than any other time?

I had no idea the guy was almost three hundred pounds. Wow.

[GObamaGO]

25. Yeah, probably not!

The dude is HUGE!

[R B Garr]

26. CNN had some clips of him in training-running and shooting anyway

Dang, that guy is one big unit. Solid, and with the kind of heft to him that looks like he has some heavy bone structure along with a heavy muscular structure. I can't think of the name of the body type, and those clips must have been taken years ago, but he is one solidly built man.

[flamingdem]

29. voluptous? zaftig?

those work for females but what about males.. hmm

[R B Garr]

30. lol, yes females have all types of descriptions

I would say barrel chested. He was barrelly (sp?)

[GObamaGO]

31. Endomorph?

[steve2470]

32. mesomorph nt

[HooptieWagon]

28. Looks like it sucks for anyone who has to go out.

LAPD is out of control.

[Catherine Vincent]

33. Or LL Cool J

[matt819]

34. Although

From what I've read, you could be a skinny, short white guy or a petite Latina, and you're just at risk. Maybe if everyone in LA stays home, then the only guy on the road would be Dorner, making it easy for the LAPD to nab him.

[MadHound]

35. Given the race, sex and ethnicity of whom the cops have been shooting at,

It would suck to be anybody in southern California right now. Apparently everybody is a suspect, everybody is a target.

[davidpdx]

36. I wouldn't want to be in the area at all

It's a scary situation. Anyone who is down that way stay safe.
