It is well known that the LAPD has had serious problems for decades (sadly, it's not unusual for many police to overstep their bounds in America), and this incident doesn't help, especially when they too are now responsible for innocent being hurt in their pursuit of him. His actions are reprehensible, even if he felt there was no other choice, but they shouldn't invalidate his words. If there actually is this level (or more) of corruption in the LAPD, that's just more time bombs like him waiting to go off, not to mention all the effects on innocents. If he's right, and we ignore it, we've given a free pass to police brutality, bribery, and all of those things we never want cops to be.

Here is the unedited, uncut, version of Chris Dorner's manifesto directly from facebook.
http://boywithgrenade.org/2013/02/07...ers-manifesto/ It also has the verdict in the DORNER v. LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT case. I was fortunate enough to be following this from the begining and saw the original posting on facebook before they took it down (KTTV in LA had it on their website also). The LAPD are the ones that requested it be taken down because they obviously have a reason to hide much of it. The parts that the media are cutting out show Dorner's character and political leanings, which does not fit in the anti-2nd amendment agenda the MSM is pushing. Yes, he is a left-wing, gun control freak, and the main stream media is doing damage control right now because of that fact. Thankfully there are independent media sources that saw that as a possibility and preserved the original facebook manifesto. EDIT: KTTV now has the link to the manifesto back up (after they redacted all the names of the police officers of LAPD). http://www.myfoxla.com/story/2101885...about-slayings

The spotlight needs to be kept on the LAPD and like-wise dysfunctional law enforcement as well as the people who finally snap under the bullshit.

No one ever said transition from communism to capitalism would be easy, but from there to want going back into the past? People can't be serious about that if they know what the Soviet system was about; Gorbatchev had to destroy it because it became too dangerous of a system.

Wasn't the extended Cold War generally used as evidence that the Soviet System was a failure outside an actual hot war (it did well fighting the Germans once it got its industrial head together in 1942 and 1943.) Though the Americans did about the same thing on the industrial level. Don't out tech the Germans, just outnumber them. 50,000 T-34s and 50,000 M4 Shermans do just about that even if the newer German tanks can take both on at at least 5:1 ratio. If the Germans are outnumbered by 20:1...they still lose.

Actually since the 1980s, there is no more "capitalism" or "communism".
Just "Corporatism" - it is either the American version (with banks and media at the top) or the Russian version (with gas giants and ex-KGB/government at the top).

Hey guys, noticed it hasn't really been mentioned, but what are your thoughts on the recent Horsemeat being found in Beef mince scare doing the rounds in Europe?
Latest evidence seems to indicate the source might be Romania, where horses were recently banned from the roads. I'm just glad I don't eat any processed meals (though I do like using raw Beef mince when I cook), however I probably wouldn't mind trying horsemeat, but it's wrong to label Horse as Beef. You guys think the Horsemeat could be coming from elsewhere? |

I've had horsemeat. It isn't really raised for eating so its leaner. The only problem I see is that it is mislabeled and if there are standards for raising livestock and preparation of cuts those have probably been violated as well.

Horse meat was common in supermarkets when I grew up. I can't see it as different from any other cattle. It's been on the decline for a long time due to limited supply. The last specialized butcher closed down in my area a few years back. Although lately it's seen somewhat of a comeback as the poor economy increased the availability of recreational horses. |

"Since Pakistan began building nukes in the late 1990s it has tried to screen
personnel who guard the atomic bombs to bar pro-terrorist officers and troops. This has not been completely successful and the army is concerned about the growing number of pro-terrorists officers and soldiers who have slipped past the screening and are now part of the nuclear weapon protection force."
