Did the Left Create Chris Dorner?

Last week, former LAPD officer Christopher Dorner went on a murderous rampage throughout Southern California, shooting seven people, including five members of law enforcement, killing three. Before he went on his spree, Dorner wrote a manifesto praising liberal policies on gun control, media personages including Piers Morgan and Chris Matthews and politicians including Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

But the bulk of Dorner's manifesto centered on his hatred for the police department from which he had been fired in 2009. He claimed in the manifesto that the LAPD "has not changed since the Rampart and Rodney King days. It has gotten worse." He accused the LAPD of widespread racism and brutality. And he traced the LAPD's racism to broad societal racism: "My first recollection of racism was in the first grade at Norwalk Christian elementary school ... I made a life decision that I will not tolerate racial derogatory terms spoken to me." He continued: "I am here to change and make policy."

When Jared Lee Loughner shot Gabby Giffords, the media immediately leapt to the conclusion that Loughner had been bathed in the water of political incivility. They attributed his shooting to a political map from Sarah Palin's website. They blamed the Tea Party.

The question isn't "IF", it's "how many"?

[JudgemAll]

Affirmative Action cop. The police is against gun control precisely because they are prisoners of this evil system benefiting for promotion the like of Dorner, at their mercy.

[onedoug]

As big city police forces go, LAPD is pretty good. Just watch for their speed traps.

As a man thinketh, so is he.

Ask yourself;
If I think "X", how did I come to think that way?
whom or what influenced or even taught me to think that way ?

We are the culmination of all that has gone before us, even we whom are 'born again' retain a lot of what was before.

So the quick answer, in my opinion is, "Yes, the left created Dorner"

It was presented to him and he ate it up.

But like Satan standing before God, and given the permission to influence Job, Satan could, in a sense state he never touched Job.

Certainly all Satan did around Job had an impact (albeit not to the point of denying God )

Thus "the Left" will state, "I never touched him"

Every boy that looked at a skin mag before he was 15 knows exactly what influence can and has done ... sometimes permanently

That's why you should home school your kids ... it's the influence.

[GreenHornet]

If the left can blame Sarah Palin for the shooting of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, then we can certainly blame them for Chris Dorner.

Try as I might, I just cannot parse this sentence, so it appears to be a non sequitor in an article asking if the left created Dorner.

I had 2 older brothers, so I saw skin mags before 15.

I’ve been married but one time, going on 25 years, 3 kids, 2 grandkids, so I guess the influence those skin mags had on me was to strengthen my heterosexuality and allow for monogamous relationships. Something tells me that’s not what you were going for.

[knarf]

I'm referring to the mental images that went into my (and your) memory bank.

That's not to say having those images are or were bad or negative, nor have a negative affect on monogomy and heterosexuality.

that IS to say, when you had .... um ... practical application class to the text ... you had a predisposition to what was to be seen, felt, or any other tactile sense .. as well as whatever impact the compare/contrast factor may have contributed or detracted from experience.

I was a physical virgin the first time ... but my mind had been infiltrated well before the first physical experience

If they did he wasn’t much of a creation as he flamed out in just 10 days.
