Triple murder fugitive Christopher Dorner is currently engaged in a massive gun battle with police in the Southern California mountains just below Big Bea Lake where the suspect’s burned out car was found last week. During the afternoon gun battle that started on California State Highway 38 and wound up in a cabin in Angelus Oaks, one law enforcement officer has been killed and one more has been hospitalized. The battle began after Dorner took two people hostage and then stole their car which was spotted by officers from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. The battle can be heard over a large area with many witnesses reporting that they can hear automatic fire being poured back and forth between the combatants. The scene of the battle is Angelus Oaks, a tiny mountain community half way in between Redlands at the base of the mountain and Big Bear near the mountain’s peak.
Following three murders last week, one involving the death of a law enforcement officer in the line of duty, Dorner has precipitated one of the largest man hunts in California history and an award of more than $1,000,000 has been offered for Dorner’s arrest. Until this latest confrontation with police, many had believed that Dorner was long gone from the Big Bear area and most government resources were being used to monitor the border with Mexico.
Here’s the sequence of events from the sheriff’s department: Officers got a report of a stolen vehicle in the Big Bear area, and deputies responded to the area at 12:22 p.m. PT and began looking for the vehicle on the ground and from the air. “The vehicle was located at Hwy. 38 and Glass Rd. The suspect fled into the forest and barricaded himself inside a cabin,” the sheriff’s department said in a statement. “A short time later there was an exchange of gunfire between law enforcement and the suspect. Sheriff’s SWAT is on scene.” Two law enforcement officers are being airlifted to a local hospital with “unknown injuries,” the sheriff’s department said. Earlier, a high-ranking law enforcement source told CNN that two sheriff’s deputies were wounded in a shootout.

Any “reporter” worth his weight in elephant dung would have ALSO mentioned the near murder of, by lawless enforcement, hard-working newspaper delivery people.
I suppose to the author, mention of some (more valuable) lives is more worthy than giving even a passing nod to the victims of police gun violence. Shameful “reporting”.
I sure hope they take Dorner alive so we can have some judicial entertainment and something for Fox to dissect, find fault with and equate to Obama in some wild tangential way.
From my original post (which Snoopy evidently just missed):
In one of the disturbing incidents of the day, officers in Torrance opened fire on a truck matching the description of the the one being driven by Dorner when it approached the house of another officer on Dorner’s manifesto hit list. Tragically the truck was driven by a woman and her friend delivering papers as their pre-dawn job. One woman was shot in the back and another in the hand and both are expected to recover.

But my comments are not posted on the other post. They are posted on this post, where “Triple murder fugitive” and “Following three murders last week, one involving the death of a law enforcement officer in the line of duty…” warranted mention in THIS post while no summary of the innocent victims by lawless enforcement was made. I guess in your haste to be the 30 millionth poster on the interweb regarding this breaking news, you couldn’t find the time to pay homage to the victims other than law enforcement in the line of duty.
Nice try at the usual diversion and deception, GW. Your Red Line appears to be a Blue Wall.
Snoopy, the fact that you are trying to divide and argue on this post shows that you have little interest in real discussion on anything but just want to attack and diminish. Your act is growing old and tired.
Without an “attack and diminish” modus operandi, you would have nothing to post, GW. What is to discuss? You denigrate a CNN reporter and yet you fail to give fair mention of the other victims of this sad situation. You divide at every opportunity…lawless enforcement is the victim while ignoring the other victims.
Your act had been stale, moldy milquetoast since you took over this blog.
Hate to say it, but I agree with GW on this one.
Snoopy, your cliche and unnecessary verbiage – e.g. “lawless enforcement”- already warns us that you are spiteful against some perceived, and most likely non-existent, injustice. If you advocate for fair and unbiased reporting than why toss around harsh, opinionated words like “worth his weight in elephant dung” and, the most pathetic, “stale, moldy milquetoast?” Can you not see this is the very behavior to which you claim to dislike? No, you can’t. The answer is you’re a child; a juvenile who mistakenly believes that completing a few college courses equates to intellectual superiority.
