While scores of law enforcement officers continued to search Friday for a fugitive ex-cop suspected of killing three people, San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said he is worried about armed Big Bear residents -- whom he calls "hearty" --- taking the law into their own hands.

And that’s the way it SHOULD be. The residents SHOULD defend.

I’m not certain the locals will shoot him.

He’s becoming something of a cult hero for the left and something of a schadenfreude figure for the right.

I think he’s long-gone from the AO. He’s had almost 5 years to plan this.

I heard a young person this morning say ‘Go Dorner!’ at breakfast while the news was on.

If Dorner were in Chicago, he’d have nothing to worry about. All the law abiding citizens are disarmed and the criminals would be cheering him on.

I bet they won’t shoot up a couple of women delivering newspapers like the “professionals” did.

Sorta like the cops are doing...except they’re doing it to the wrong people.

The good ole LAT! And what a wuss of a "Mayor." Bet he'll be gone next election.

I have relatives in Big Bear who'd have Dorner gutted, skinned and on their wall as a trophy if he so much as got within rifle range of their house.

Imagine how the whole narrative changes if a gun toting Tea Party guy up there takes him out.

He will have bested LA's "finest" and taken down a military trained liberal menace.

It would send a message to LEOs that we 2nd A citizens can take of our own and know how to take down those who threaten it -- gov't and gov't criminal alike.

It would affirm the rationale behind the 2nd A in a way nothing else would be able to do by comparison.

I pray it happens that way.

FReegards!

Yes, because unlike the police, the citizens may not wait until they know for sure who they are shooting...

Shoot him on sight, bury him where he falls. Then never say a word about it.

I hate saying it but I believe it wholeheartedly.

This Dorner idiot ‘had’ to happen. And perhaps a couple more like him before people wake the hell up. I don’t want to see innocents die. But because of what the left has created, AKA guys like Dorner, the rest of society has a choice. Defend themselves as is their God given right, or die like dogs listening to their ‘betters’.

There is no alternative.

And once people remember what being an American means, we will have turned a significant corner in the fight with leftism.

“Manhunt: Sheriff worries Big Bear residents may dish out own justice”

Really? I’d be more concerned whether or not the cops hose down another two women delivering papers.

>> Sowers, 57, wore a flannel shirt and sat with his wife, Barbara, 60, who was wearing a NASCAR jacket...

... And one couldn’t help but notice the weathered corners of a Bible peering out from underneath George Sowers’ gun vest. Neither partner was too quick to offer an opinion, but calm, confident assurance was provided in the rural twang one might recall from a scene taken from Deliverance.

Is there any question why the sheriff is {{{squeal}}} worried?

If this guy 'disappears' and we never see him again or he isn't found dead or alive, it'll be time to fit tin foil hat firmly in place. The east got Sandy Hook, now the West has this incident.. By the way, hasn't the media coined a term for this yet, like LAPD DAWG or BLACK-OPS (Get it?) or something like that?

I guess California needed it's catalyst to impose their own gun grab and generate a fear of guns like CT did.
