I’m not sure this nutcase is all that prepared. In the video at the link it claims that after the rope got wrapped up in the propeller (Ha!) he “became frustrated”. Perhaps he had a Plan A (steal a boat) and a Plan B (okay, if stealing a boat doesn’t work, I’ll take my truck with the motorcycle and .50 cal and head to my hideout in Vegas after burning my truck at Big Bear).
But I doubt it.
I liked the part where this master criminal assassin dropped his briefcase and badge.

Excerpt:
The disgruntled ex-LAPD officer suspected of shooting three police officers Thursday morning and killing a couple in Irvine earlier this week tried to steal a boat in San Diego and flee to Mexico, authorities said....
The 81-year-old boat owner reported being accosted and tied up by a burly man dressed in black who threatened him with a gun and said he wanted the boat to flee to Mexico. But while the assailant was trying to start the boat, a rope became fouled in the propeller and the boat was inoperable, authorities said....
About 2 a.m., a citizen reported finding property belonging to Dorner on a street near Lindbergh Field, not far from the scene of the attempted boat theft. The property included a briefcase and Dorner’s LAPD badge.
lol
Three false trails in few hours.
The last thing he wanted to be was a “sore thumb” target in a flat ocean.
Convince everyone he’s headed to Mexico? He’d want that.
Badge and ID near the airport?
Convince everyone he’s headed to elsewhere? He’d want that.
Burned out truck in the San Berdo mountains?
Convince everyone he’s hiding in the snow? He’d want that.
Where is he really? I’d place good money that it’s not Big Bear. He’s warm and snug watching the LAPD tramp around in the snow, freezing their butts off, burning resources, and tiring themselves out.
In a few days when they are totally burned out it will be time for another strike and diversion.
If you were trying to flee the country via a stolen boat, would you tell the boat owner where you intended to go?
He's either incredibly stupid, or that was a deliberate ruse. I suspect he may have stolen the boat with the intent of ditching it somewhere down (or up) the coast, as another diversion, but don't seriously think he was trying to run to Mexico.
He's got you confused. Less than 3 hours after he was "frustrated" in San Deigo, he stages an ambush in Corona 100+miles north, then another 20minutes later in Riverside. He's working to a plan.
And it was an accident.
Wasn't it.
WASN'T it!!!!
The LA times reported that “ a citizen reported finding property belonging to Dorner on a street near Lindbergh Field, not far from the scene of the attempted boat theft. The property included a briefcase and Dorner’s LAPD badge.”
My question is how can an LAPD officer fired in 2008 still have a LAPD badge? Something is really fishy here. What is the evidence that Dorner did any of the things they say he has done? They say he is wanted in connection with these crimes, but where is the proof that he is the one who committed them?
They will be bringing out the drones, no doubt. This will be an excellent example of the current US policy of drone strikes on citizens without due process.
How do you know he dropped it?
I don’t think he’s a nutcase either. If he was, he would have shot the old man out of simple anger. But he didn’t.
I’m not saying he is right. But until ALL information is out you should not jump to conclusions.
Look at what the LAPD just did. SHOT 2 LADIES delivering newspapers. Upthread, someone stated they shot at 2 trucks (I did not hear about the 2nd).
He named names. Is anyone investigating his claims? Perhaps if they did, his killing spree would stop.
But of course they won’t because it just may expose the LAPD for what he claims is going on.
He mentions his girl partner, using excessive force on a mentally ill “perp”. This girl, if I remember correctly, was also cited for excessive force a couple of times.
