In Los Angeles, a former LAPD officer by the name of Christoper Jordan Dorner who got fired after coming back from the giant Middle Eastern catbox with a bad case of the PTSD’s has been on the run in his silver Nissan Titan after killing a couple of cops who he blamed for getting him fired rather than getting him put on disability. Early yesterday morning the LAPD finally caught up with him and managed to stop him by filling the rear of his pickup truck with holes:
Silver Nissan Titan
Uhm, except it was a blue Toyota Tacoma. As you can see by zooming in on the photo above (clicky and zoomy). Being driven by an elderly paper delivery lady and her daughter. The dumbasses apparently confused the Los Angeles Times with being a deadly weapon, shooting first, stopping to identify the color and make and model of pickup truck they were shooting at only afterwards.
Congra-duh-lations, Los Angeles Police Department. Once again you show us the level of professionalism and care for civilians that exemplifies your daily duty.

Interesting picture. They seem to have thought the truck was a person itself and shot it “center of mass”, unfortunately trucks don’t have many vital organs in the tailgate and it could have escaped to fight again. Someone did think
about the glass I see and put some work into it.
Think about it though, all those holes and the people inside were only wounded.
If this is the best the ‘pros’ can do under pressure then I can see why I ‘john t citizen’ might need a 30 round clip to do the job at home by myself on a dark night.
And talking about strays, look at the upper most edge of the back window, there were more than a few ricochets.
Open season on pickups? Who’d a thunk….
What’s next?

Shall I be cynical and say that the spread of holes indicates that smaller magazines for cops might be good. Make them aim better? Just saying.
Now lets put this truck in an elementary school parking lot and see where the misses go. If that’s what a “trained” cop does, what is Johnny “School Security Guard” Doughnut gonna do.
Did you notice how the escapee looks like a character on a LA based Crime show (ncis la) ?
If the cops have opened season on pickups, I’d really hate to be that actor right now.

No, not LL Cool J!
I’m considering myself fortunate not to be an onion-headed black guy. Or a pick-up driver.
And the slaughter is not over. Let’s see who racks up a bigger death toll, Mr. “You Took My Name” or the perple that society gives the power of pepper-spraying asses and taking names. Plus I’m waiting for the first civilian to kill a muscular black lawn guy or a postal worker because he’s SURE that it’s the suspect who’s knocking on his door.
I have long anticipated a “death blossom” in which armed members of the public would react to public shooting by shooting at the shooter in self-defence, only they’d get confused and start shooting at each other, which would draw more people into the shooting spree, whee! Maybe this will be like a slow-motion roll-out of that. Devil levels in the City of Angels will go up. More mistaken shootings. Copycats. People inspired to emulate YEARS later. (There are high school kids today wanting to ape Harris and Kleebold @ Columbine.) And cops will become even more trigger-happy than they were. One of these days, we might WISH for the good ol’ times when pigs only gassed and electrocuted willy-nilly.
Chris Dorner has added a new theme to the culturally current meme of mad American mass shooter. Instead of an ejaculation of bullets like so many callow, crazy young men, he’s giving a long, slow fuck to society. He blames the cops for taking his good name, but he’ll leave a stained name in the record books. Perhaps that’s what he wants. His 15 minutes of namefamy.
Until the next worst killer comes along and tops his batting average. Dorner has yet to excel John Allan Muhammed in the D.C. snipings. Of course, Muhammed must have an asterisk in the record book for the help from his Boyd Wonder sidekick on that one. Muhammed, another ex-military man. Crazed veteran berserkers — I’m sensing that will be another societal theme. And why are all the stalker snipers black?!? How is the Nazional Whifle Association going to get equal footing?
(Speaking of which, the guy looks über bulked-up. Barry Bonds-level. A ‘roid rager? More juiced up than The Juice? [O.J. Simpson's nickname.])

I’ve occasionally fantasized about starting one by dropping some firecrackers into the middle of a wingnut gun convention…
Won’t work, wingnuts require you to check your gun at the door at their wingnut gun conventions
