here's what bothers me most about the sympathizers and "understanders" cali Feb 2013 #16
Takes a lot of courage to speak out against a mass-murderer. Bonobo Feb 2013 #19
Dorner's sympathizers are more vocal than his detractors here. geek tragedy Feb 2013 #21

Did the OP claim it took courage? No? cali Feb 2013 #23

You are assuming he is guilty quinnox Feb 2013 #63
there's considerable evidence (like his own words) that he is a murderer. Andthe point cali Feb 2013 #68
His admission that he killed people isn't good enough for you. geek tragedy Feb 2013 #74
nevertheless, yes I prefer trials before executions are done quinnox Feb 2013 #76
