Dorner: What Lessons are there?

[JC5123]

Yep.
Unless it is a big, 'one giant step for mankind' type uprising, .gov will smother the little attempts before they get started......DHS has plenty of ammo these days, you know.

Off site storage. Isn't that nice of them.

Well, yeah, if you know where they are!

All it took in 1775 was one shot at the critical moment.
Some sources claim that shot was fired from the Lexington Tavern, possibly by Sam Adams who was present at the time.

Just look for a big box marked .gov property. It's a good bet you'll find something good in there.

With my luck it will be 5 years worth of tax records

My take on Dorner is: "don't start vast projects with half-vast ideas." He had no pre-planned escape route, bounced around from target to target, tried to make a hide-out in the mountains but was foiled by a broken axle, abandoned guns & ammo in his burning vehicle, left tracks in the snow, successfully hid in plain sight of police but bolted too soon. Essentially he planned little after the murder of one cop's daughter and fingered himself with his "manifesto". LAPD wanted him dead from the beginning and they got their wish. Lesson: Screw with one cop, inherit the entire force...no questions asked.

Plan your fight and fight your plan while keeping it stupidly simple.

Or you could luck up and find a shipment of guns destined for Mexico.....

[tombogan03884]

Bet I know where I could sell the ones I didn't want to keep too.

Remove the race and cop factor, and Dorner was just another murdering crackpot who did himself in when cornered. Newspaper articles are full of them. Especially recently.
