"Dem soldiers carry M-16 rifles and they might have a few bazookas we're saving for special people."

Alleged cop-killer Christopher Dorner has vanished.
More than 24 hours after Dorner allegedly shot and killed one police officer and injured two others, police say they have no idea where the former cop with a vendetta against police has gone.
"He could be anywhere at this point," Sheriff John McMahon of the San Bernadino County Sheriff's Department said today.
Police are also trying to determine whether Dorner left his burning car on the side of Big Bear Mountain and earlier dropped his badge in San Diego as diversionary tactics to distract police.
Wherever Dorner is, law enforcement officials fear that he may be heavily armed, possibly with a powerful .50 caliber rifle, which shoots five-inch long bullets that can pierce bullet proof vests and vehicles, as well as a shoulder-fired missile launcher.
Dorner, 33, a former Los Angeles police officer and Navy reservist, sparked a region-wide dragnet after allegedly killing two civilians on Sunday and releasing an angry "manifesto" airing grievances against the LAPD and warning of coming violence toward cops.
In the manifesto Dorner published online, he threatened at least 12 people by name, along with their families.
"Your lack of ethics and conspiring to wrong a just individual are over. Suppressing the truth will lead to deadly consequences for you and your family," Dorner wrote in his manifesto...

He sure has the cops scared, they shot up two ladies in a blue pickup this morning, because it ,matched the description of one he was driving.
He is the one that said he had the weapons in his manifesto. Whether he does or not, it is another element to his plan to scare the LAPD. It seems as if mentioning would preclude having them, but all bets are off on this one.
‘....which shoots five-inch bullets.”
Yeah, I laughed when I saw that, too.
Still, personally, I’d rather not be on the receiving end of a .50 caliber slug, body armor or not.
This is going to be an interesting situation. As someone else here on FR noted, unless the LAPD gets lucky in finding this guy PDQ, there’s likely going to be few police funerals in the not-too-distant future.

Apparently, many of us aren’t aware of that kind of talk. According to some individuals, they’re Special Forces, SEALS, Delta Force and everything seen on TV. They are all of that. They’ve done all of that. It’s considered to be cool and funny in some neighborhoods to talk that way. Am I the only one here who has lived in an inner city neighborhood?
She wants rules like that let's see her enforce one of them first.
LOL yes!!!
Yea, and it’s a great light weight highly mobile weapon choice when on the run from the fuzz...and that shoulder fired missile launcher is even less conspicuous...
Hope he doesn’t have a Solothurn.
Pierre. I'm a friggin cook. Got up early in the AM and had breakfast ready for thousands of GI's before mess call sounded.
And I managed to actually have the round you were talking about near enough to grab without putting on my shoes.
Not just the entire round, but a pulled bullet, as well.
Pierre, I used a cheap Chinee tape rule to make my measurements, and they were much more accurate than your high-drama, anti-firearm screed.
If you ever see me, Pierre, I'll be the guy waving a finger or two at you.
Nothing but love, baby.

I worked as a veterans representative at the unemployment office for 15 years. If I had a $5 bill for every goof who claimed to be special forces, I could buy a nice used car.
One guy claimed to be a SEAL officer who’d been captured by the Vietnamese and sent to the Soviet Union.
In my cache you will find several small arms. In the cache, Bushmaster firearms, Remington precision rifles, and AAC Suppressors (silencers).
I scanned the manifesto, so if i missed the part about the rocket launcher and 50 cal, please post a link. If they are reading a Remington M24-A2 rifle into that, then they know more than they are letting on.
This guy is playing them...he torched the truck and bolted in another vehicle he planted there.
Smart money says he’s in Texas, headed for Mexico at a unguarded border crossing.

I suspect he has a few more surprises in the hopper.
“I look at what he’s done and see it as a cry for help.”
He’ll do well on Oprah, should he live.
He doesn’t have a functional missile launcher with missile. If anything he has a one-use missile launcher tube that he bought at a Army surplus store. A useless toy that he would not be so stupid as to haul around.
Both would be ok if luring into a kill zone. For E & E, not so much, lol.
He thought the LAPD was being racist against him. Here's the Drudge link: ...motivated by racism
Funny the Obama Complicit Press has failed to report his race! Stupid me: bad crime, no race called out = Black.
You can be pretty sure if he was a White Guy we'd have already heard "with ties to racist Tea Party White Supremicist Neo-Nazi organizations" (like the Boy Scouts).
Remember: The DC snipers were a crazed, racist black buck sergeant and a teenager!! Look how many people they terrorized and for how long. And they were only caught by accident, IIRC.
