Regarding Dorner and the support of capital punishment

11. I don't like the death penalty for the most part. I also don't like when police kill

people without benefit of due process.

In this case, arguments can be made for and against the merits of killing him the way they did (or else he killed himself). Because of the long history of abuses by LE in So Cal, I am of course concerned that he might have been taken into custody without killing him or anyone else dying, but was instead killed outright. I'm not the one to decide which was the proper course of action, and now probably no one will ever know for sure.

LAPD are still a bunch of jackbooted fascist thugs for the most part. They have no one to blame but themselvesfor how the public feels about them.

If he had been tried and convicted, I don't know if I would support the death penalty for him. I tend to not approve of the DP for anyone who wasn't "right in the haid" when they committed their crimes. If he was delusional or had severe depression or PTSD that went untreated, yes, I consider that "not right in the haid".
