In reply to the discussion: Dorner's con game worked [View all]TheKentuckian
(25,026 posts)What we have here is a campaign to either disassociate or plausibly ignore any issue the spree murderer mentioned.
These folks know good and well no one is supporting this guy, this is agenda and the agenda in part is not to question the government and to subdue any issue with state sanctioned violence.
Here is how it plays, they wail on the strawman that Dorner has a fan club (just like they do when they bust out the "sympathy for terrorist card) I guess under the twisted logic that acknowledging the issues in relation to the murderer is somewhere between sympathy and outright support. Next some will just drop Dorner from the discussion and focus on the issues but this will be declared "thinly veiled" support or some such thing. Then there will be gnashing of teeth between like 12 people in Meta, and they will start alerting and playing baby games on juries. Nothing will happen from this of significance but it will allow a wee bit of Lord of the Flies games and harden lines though the actual disagreement between the lines is nonexistent, no one supports the murderer at all.
