In reply to the discussion: Here's video of police shouting "burn that motherfucker" and "burn him out" as Dorner was trapped. [View all]TorchTheWitch
(11,065 posts)The two hardly go hand in hand. Dorner was a very serious danger, had killed numerous people, refused to surrender, and I'm not seeing any other way to neutralize him than what was done. He already took out two officers during the fire fight at the cabin, and I have ZERO sympathy for him being killed in order to prevent him from hurting anyone else.
With capital punishment the person is already caught and contained. It's nothing more than revenge killing which is ENTIRELY different than killing someone who is CURRENTLY doing their level best to kill others and succeeding at it.
Dorner never had any intention of surrendering. He was either going to go out by suicide by cop or kill himself. Yes, I'm glad that he's dead and can harm no other people seeing that it was DORNER himself who made the choice to kill other people and keep doing it until he was killed himself. Good riddance to the foul sack of murderous shit.
I truly do not understand the sympathy for this disgusting murderer.
