Thank God these women weren't killed. I hope they get a nice settlement from the LAPD, and be set for life financially.

I don't see how in the hell two Latino ladies could have been mistaken for Dorner. nt. OldDem2012 Feb 2013 #16

From the story it seems they mistook the truck, not the ladies--I doubt... Moonwalk Feb 2013 #28

Not understandable and not forgivable in the least. That wasn't a checkpoint in Afghanistan. nt. OldDem2012 Feb 2013 #31

Totally understandable--by that I mean, we can UNDERSTAND why they did it-- Moonwalk Feb 2013 #32

My definition and your definition of the word "understandable" must be diametrically opposed.... OldDem2012 Feb 2013 #33

Why do you even bother responding with that tripe? Act_of_Reparation Feb 2013 #41

Thanks for your concern. Enjoy your stay. nt. OldDem2012 Feb 2013 #42

You appear to be saying that shooting up innocent people would have been OK in Afghanistan Fumesucker Feb 2013 #47

If you look at the post he responded to, you might read it a different way. MH1 Feb 2013 #49

Actually I read the entire exchange, including a couple of more replies up to "whatever" Fumesucker Feb 2013 #50

A simple tag check before shooting would have indicated it wasn't Dorner. HooptieWagon Feb 2013 #54
