Manhunt for ex-soldier who shot police chief's daughter and killed policeman (SEND IN THE DRONES)
Express (UK) ^ | 2/10/2013 | Mike Parker

Posted on 02/10/2013 4:20:08 PM PST by WhistlingPastTheGraveyard

Police plan to use spy drones in the hunt for a Rambo-style ex-soldier and policeman who has murdered three people and vowed to kill again.

They believe burly, heavily-armed Christopher Dorner is holed-up in the wilderness of California’s snow-capped San Bernardino mountains 80 miles east of Los Angeles.

The burnt-out shell of his pick-up truck was discovered in the nearby resort of Big Bear, where residents and tourists have been warned to stay indoors as the search continues.

Yesterday, as a task force of 125 officers, some riding Snowcats in the rugged terrain, continued their search, it was revealed that Dorner has become the first human target for remotely-controlled airborne drones on US soil.

A senior police source said: “The thermal imaging cameras the drones use may be our only hope of finding him. On the ground, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

Drones with FLIR capability changes everything.

Everybody will stand out like neon lights in the darkness, no matter how well camouflaged they are.

I have absolutely no sympathy for the mass murderer Dorner however the media appears to be covering for the dangerous clowns known as the LAPD-——http://theconservativetreehouse.com/2013/02/10/wtf-bulletgate-why-a-difference-print-media-vs-video-media-in-lapd-accidental-shooting/

This guy is a typical libtard who had to write down his non-important thoughts for everyone, and then act out in order ot get his silly opus read. Then the axle on his getaway vehicle breaks, very unusual. Stupid driving perhaps? Got stuck and broke it trying to get it out?

Or was it a sly trick to throw the law off his trail? Which is more likely? Screwup or crafty diversion?

He had to leave some gear and guns behind, you can only carry so much. He probably decided to travel lighter after the truck problem.

So what’s this fool done lately to garner all the “genius” talk?

Imagine being in your back yard naked, or making love and having some drone circling overhead with the operator getting his thrills.
I am quite happy to no longer be in the new USSA.

Remember that one Foreign Service Officer who was married to the Moslem woman from Syria, who used to hang out at the pool in Jeddah? He was an Asst GSO. He converted to Islam, but considering the amount of gin & tonic he put away,he really wasn’t too pious.

I hope they don’t start firing Hellfires at innocent people

As long as you aren't in a truck you should be OK...

Sounds perfect to me.
I’d have left a bit of blood on things to make it look like I cut myself trying to fix it....but still, a good idea.

I’d be using cellphones in creative ways.... would make for a lot of confusion and wasted effort.

He didn’t expect to break an axle. Took what weapons he could, torched the rest with the disabled truck. Guns n ammo is heavy stuff.

What's new this week is the Justice Depertment memo clearing the way for drones to kill Americans (not just illegally spy on them).

Two days later, we have our first target.

What timing!

Indeed.

What an effective plot to open the door to using drones in major metropolitan areas in the U.S. every day of the year, for the rest of time.. “To find criminals”. Almost as effective as Sandy Hook for overturning the Second Amendment.

My guess is he is holed up somewhere either dying of dead from the elements.

Camouflage is just blending in to your surroundings. If you appear as a neon light, your surroundings should too.

I don’t think he’s a genius. His “manifesto” makes it pretty clear, the dude’s a pop-culture obsessed loser with the depth of a shallow puddle.

I just think he planned this out well in advance. And the fact that he’s an Ellen DeGeneres-watching fatass doesn’t mean he’s not cunning. Animals can be very cunning... so can a delusional self-absorbed douche bag like Rambro.

Rambro doesn’t like the cold or snow. You can bet he’s laying low in LA and has people hiding and taking care of him
