It is true that anti-authoritarian types that support Assange will also likely "sympathize" with Dorner's rampage, or his motives anyway, but it is not because of any affection for the "justice system" in either case.

Dorner was denied due process, and Assange needs to face the music. Buzz Clik Feb 2013 #10

I'm not addressing teh cases, just their apologists. Nuclear Unicorn Feb 2013 #15

I don't consider myself to be much of an apologist for Dorner. He was clearly a murderer. Buzz Clik Feb 2013 #18

Dorner was not murdered. Murder is defined as "the unlawful killing of a human being". 11 Bravo Feb 2013 #22

What a ridiculous rationalization. It was murder, and everything suggests it was premeditated murder Buzz Clik Feb 2013 #25

Most people outgrow the notion that "It's this way because I WANT it to be" by adolescence. 11 Bravo Feb 2013 #32

Seems a bit hyperbolic. Buzz Clik Feb 2013 #20
