This will be worth seeing.

French Army Air Ground Team...

Cowardly.

Sorry.

You're gonna hate me but I'm only the messenger.

Burning down the house instead of attempting an arrest is unconstitutional.  It goes against what is expected of Law Enforcement and goes against all that is right.

This happened in America.  Not on a foreign battlefield.

They deployed burners....Just like they talked about....

You're an idiot if you don't take away a couple of serious lessons from this incident....the Police are now virtually an occupation army....every prior incident, Ruby Ridge, Waco etc should be looked at with knowledge that law enforcement will assasinate individuals without a second thought....and last but not least the default position of law enforcement is to do any and everything to protect themselves.

Dorner's naivete is what doomed him.  

In the end he thought that they would play by the rules.

In the end he was wrong.

UPDATE:::
Time the fuck out!  I've been getting hit by people saying that this guy was a terrorist.  Are you shitting me?  He was a murderer, a fool, a misguided idiot that couldn't handle the lumps that everyone goes through but a terrorist?  BE CAREFUL.  You're unwittingly making the case for that term to be used in an ever more casual way...you're making the case for criminals to be categorized as terrorist and the use of increasing force being used against them.  That in turn will lead to either the police becoming militarized or for the military to become even more involved in domestic operations.  Which will allow for all kinds of civil rights that you take for granted being pushed away in the domestic war on terrorism....TSA and domestic wiretapping might become a weak joke compared to what might be unleashed on the public ... You really don't realize what you're setting the stage for.

UPDATE 1:::


This guys wasn't scared at all.  He knew that Dorner was after Officers...not the general public.  Also noteworthy is the fact that the guy was on foot and could only carry so much ammo.  He had no communication with the outside world.  He was in a very isolated location with no danger to the public.  They had two concentric rings of deputies around him.  They also had several DOZEN SWAT TEAMS on the scene (as a matter of fact the rest of the southland must have gone without coverage) so escape was EXTREMELY unlikely.  So tell me again why the rush?

Dorner cornered UPDATES!

Dorner was in the area all along.  Seems like he broke into a near by house, tied up a couple and then stole their car when one of the hostages broke free and called police to report the vehicle stolen.

They got into a car chase, he wrecked out and now he's in a gunfight in the hills.

So far two LEO's have been injured and they're calling for armored vehicles to help get them out of the area.

Schools responded by going into lockdown.

Say that out loud.

A madman is on a rampage and the schools solution is to lock the doors?

Hide all the students in corners?

What a feminine solution.  And by feminine I mean what a pussy solution.  There has to be a better answer than to basically HOPE that a bad guy doesn't run into a school.  If they do and eventually someone will, then they'll have at least one class probably more of ready made hostages.

Time to put armed security in schools.

NOTE:  Fish and Game Officers are the guys that cornered him.  Interesting.  These guys can shoot and are some of the most heavily armed LEO's that no one has ever heard of.  They're the guys that go after hunters in the middle of the woods by themselves...ya know...the guys that catch poachers and stuff.  Dorner might be in a bit more trouble.

UPDATE:
They just called off the news media's helicopters.  Reports are that 40 SWAT Officers have headed up the hill.  

They're getting ready to do an entry.  A full breach.  Dorner will die bloody.  That's basically a police equivalent Company of SWAT Officers.   40 against 1?  I wonder if he will die well.

UPDATE 1:
Appears that he killed two more LEO's.  Dorner will die well.  Supposedly they have 40 SWAT Officers on scene.  LAPD is rushing another 100 SWAT Officers to the area.

They're going to do a full frontal assault on this guy.  If they had artillery they'd call it in.  I said that Dorner would die bloody and he will.  Unfortunately for Law Enforcement so will many of them.

UPDATE 2:
The police threw smoke grenades at the cabin.  The media is so idiotic that they don't realize that white phosphorus is considered a smoke grenade too.  Interesting that they gas the cabin and it suddenly goes up in flames.

General Dynamics will compete with a LAV -II Demonstrator type.

My source deep inside the workings of General Dynamics (stay safe buddy...they're paranoid) is telling me that they're going with a derivative of their LAV II Technology Demonstrator.

Interesting but it may all be academic.

The MPC probably won't might not survive.  Have you noticed that all the services have come out with contingencies in case of sequestration?

The Marine Corps hasn't.

Why?

Because the Marine Corps historically chops boat spaces first and equipment last.

You haven't heard a Marine General Officer speak on sequestration because the first move will be to reduce the ranks.  (Read a Marine Corps Times article on it here...no info on the Marines is given) If it hits as hard as some indicate I would expect at least 10,000 Marines released from their contracts for the good of the service before the end of the fiscal year.

Once they get around to equipment what do you think will be first?  The F-35 is protected.  The MV-22 is the Marine Corps pet.  The JLTV is a joint project with the Army and we're committed to buying the first 5000.  That leaves Marine Corps specific programs.  The MPC.  The ACV.  The CH-53K.

If it hits and if it sticks the Marine Corps might not seen any of those projects reach the fleet.

SOFREP takes aim at women in the Infantry.

I steered clear of this cause quite honestly I tire of Haynie and her group of apologist in the Commandant's office and USNI Blog polluting my space with their bullshit.  Luckily, we all know the truth...it won't work.  Already they're using code words to lower standards...gender-norming...developing "real" standards to measure what it takes to be an Infantryman (I guess I should call it Infantry Person) etc...But SOFREP won't swallow the nonsense and are coming out swinging on this subject...a tidbit.

Another favorite…  First it was the blacks, then it was the gays, now it is women.  No.  No, actually it isn’t.  This has nothing to do with race or sexual orientation but rather the physiology of the female gender and whether or not they can meet the standards required in the Infantry and SOF.  Please stop trying to mix other controversial issues in order to make your case.  Lets move on.Women should be allowed in combat!  They can do the job!Here, carry this 50 pound rucksack down this road for 12 miles.Well, not me but I know women who can do it!Ever notice how women making these arguments always defer when put on the spot?  It is never them who can meet the standards but rather some other idealized woman?  Please stop doing this.  Shit or get off the pot.  I see 18 year old 90-pound girls at college who think it is a great idea to put women in the front lines.  Ante up is what I say.  You’ve got no idea.Other countries have women in combat positions!Well, not really.  Everyone likes to cite Israel but their experiment with women in the Infantry is considered a failure.  Furthermore, we are the US of A.  We have the best military in the world.  No offense to Israel or any of our other allies but we don’t need to try to replicate conscription Armies around the world.

Read it all here. 

I'm trying to decide a couple of things.  I'm ready to check out on the Marine Corps and just observe and not comment.

Its not my Corps anymore and it might be time to establish a timeline of Old Corps and now the reformed/revamped/differentiated New Marine Corps.

I'm just not sure.

One thing I am sure of.  Its not the same.

The Whiskey Locker

Check out the Marine Corps' new web show, "The Whiskey Locker," every payday beginning Feb. 15th.

So sad.  So pathetic.  So trying to be hardcore when they're becoming soft, weak and impotent.

A new show named the Whiskey Locker?  Craziness in a Marine Corps that breathalyzer tests before they come on duty.  That has females in the infantry.  That has given its very soul with nothing in return to obey political masters that don't give a flying fuck about the Marines and what they stand for.

This is craziness. 

Old Corps, New Corps there is a BIG fucking difference.

Ok. This confirms it. They're scared shitless!

I mean seriously!

SOCAL Law Enforcement is in a panic over Dorner.  Let me remind everyone.  This is one guy.  Many talking heads state that if civilians decided to resist the Federal Government with AR's that they'd automatically lose.  This incident and the Beltway Sniper prove otherwise.  A small group of determined and trained individuals could tie up police in knots.  The important thing in their planning would be to not target civilians.  They (civilians) should be allowed to continue their lives and that's the secret of Dorner's success.  He is only targeting polilce and their families.

But back to why I say they're scared shitless.  Check out this vid.

VIDEO IS HERE!
Note:  Sorry all but I despise the way they embed videos.  Just follow the link to the story on their site.

You get a tip in to your lines and instead of sending a squad car or maybe two to check it out you deploy your SWAT Team?  This from people that know that out of 10,000 tips maybe one or two will be legit?

They're scared.  They're shaken.  They can't even fake like they're not anymore.  Hey SOCAL Law Enforcement....Harden the fuck up....

Sidenote:  A skin tight leopard print body suit with rolls of fat oozing from the stomach and "pouch" area is just plain nasty.  I hope Oprah gives her a makeover!

Necked down 20mm to a 50 cal..

Why hasn't anyone necked down a 20mm to a 50 cal and developed the ultimate long range crew served sniper system?

Maybe a repost but I love this plane.

LAPD Chief used the magic words with regards to Dorner.

Watching the news conference on Dorner from the LAPD.

The Chief used the magic words.

Dorner is a Domestic Terrorist.

More to come.

Dorner has 3000 followers on facebook...

This should send chills down the spine of LEO's everywhere.

They've lost the support of the public.  Its no longer a case of the Police against evil doers...Its now a view where the Police are against the average man or woman.

This is why its so important for the Military (if they had any common sense left or rather weren't so eager to lick the balls of the current administration) to distance itself from all these exercises with civilian law enforcement.  The military once had a reputation to protect.  It once was viewed as an American institution worthy of respect.  It isn't anymore. 

Getting in bed with law enforcement is one of many reasons why.

Exhibit number 5 of why Dorner must die bloody.

No bolts for Marines during inauguration!

Via Free Republic

Posted on Saturday, February 09, 2013 9:05:31 PM by SWAMPSNIPER
“Didn't know the Marines had to take the bolts out of their rifles for the Inaugural,” an email forwarded to Gun Rights Examiner from a United States Marine Corps source observed. “Wonder if someone can explain why [they] would be marching in the inaugural parade with no bolts in their rifles!”
The email linked to a YouTube video of the 57th Presidential Inaugural Parade, embedded in this column, featuring Bravo Company Marines from the Marine Barracks Washington. Sure enough, the observation in the email is confirmed by watching the video, with screen shots provided in the photo and slide show accompanying this article.

Wow.

Just fuckin' wow.

Law Enforcement body slam people daily but Dorner scares them.

Major Hat Tip to Everyday No Days Off Blog.

An individual that's upset about response time AND the fact that he was assaulted is further humiliated by the people that he called to help.

Worse.  It was a Marine Vet versus an active duty Soldier.

We can play reindeer games all day about the different services but in the end its all a brotherhood.

But not in this case.

I couldn't tell but it seems like this guy put a modified LVNR (choke hold) on the guy but from the front...it was once taught but applying it was always tricky and by the sounds of things the Soldier was suffering from having his wind pipe collapse (or at least starting to).

I went here and it seems that they kneeled on the guys while he was down.  I don't know if that's academy taught or if they just do it on the street but that is bad tactics.  It can cause death if done for too long.

If the cop isn't given some days off or worse then that tells you all you need to know.

But to bring it full circle.  These are the same cops that supposedly deal with Bloods, Crips, MS-13, Mexican Mafia, Biker Gangs, Aryan Nation and Asian Gangs etc....so with that being the case and with them able to slam soldiers without regret then why does Dorner scare them so much?

Dead man down.

I don't know what the cinema term is but this is one of those old style movies with a killer, sexy woman, and evil killer mash up with tons of gun play, tons of action -- spiced with sexual situations.

Perfect date movie.

What the hell. I'll say it. Dorner is a test model for drone use in the US. Update: LAPD tries a cheap psy-ops trick.

What the hell guys.

Remember where I talked earlier about why we didn't see the usual alphabet soup of federal law enforcement agencies involved in the Dorner situation?

My theory is because this is the perfect test case of using drones in the US in a law enforcement capacity.

With the high profile testimony this week, if people saw a bunch of FBI, ATF or DHS raid jackets at news conferences then they'd surely be asked about the subject.

With those officials no where to be found the question can't be posed to them and as is usually the case, our main stream news media is too stupid to ask the question of a person with the authority to answer...or deny the facts for the record.

Dorner will be found.  He will die bloody and drones will help do it.  

UPDATE:  LAPD is trying a cheap psy-ops trick on Dorner.  They've gone public and stated that they're re-opening the investigation into his firing.  Really?  Say that shit out loud and ask yourself if you really believe it!  This from FoxNews...

Officials will particularly re-examine Christopher Dorner's allegations that his law enforcement career was undone by racist colleagues, Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck told KCBS-TV. He also urged Dorner to surrender."If he was to give himself up, we'd be happy to hear what he has to say," Beck said.

Let's go over a few things again.  LAPD is on tactical alert.  He's killed a couple of officers, wounded another and killed the daughter of a retired officer.

He could have been trained by the Head Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan and it wouldn't happen.  Where there is life, there is hope and he took away hope from many people.  He's done.

Reaching critical mass on Seqeustration.

Its about to pop on the sequestration front.

Galrahn and the Conservative Wahoo have articles up  where they walk right to the edge of calling bullshit on the Pentagon (here and here) and even the hold its finger to the wind USNI has an author calling for a revolt of the generals over the subject (here).

Long story short.  Everyone that has an interest in military matters have finally gotten to the point of openly saying (some much more diplomatically than me) that the entire building has become politicized and that they're no longer acting in the best interests of this nations defense...instead they're acting at the beck and call of their political masters.

Chesty (Marine), Nimitz (Navy), LeMay (Air Force) and Patton (Army) would all have done things much differently than those in charge.  Each service needs to take a time out and ask what would their greats have done.

Gun Porn.

Do you like gun porn? 

Well I do and it helps to have a one stop shop instead of trying to scour the internet for the latest and greatest.  My recommendation to take care of the need?  Gunsngear.tumblr.com

He covers the latest and greatest in the industry, a little everyday carry and even a few babes with guns.  Like I said.  One stop shopping.

Why Dorner will not be captured alive.

I've noticed a few things about this Dorner incident happening in Kalifornia...

*LAPD and local agencies are jumpy beyond recognition.  These are the same guys that go up against Crips, Bloods, MS-13 and the Mexican Mafia?  Seems like one determined guy with a gun has them shitting their pants.

*As many have said.  This guy has a plan.  He could soon be "operating" nationwide.  Imagine if he decides that instead of just targeting Southern California Law Enforcement Officers he's gonna take it to any city cop across the nation (I say city cops because he appears to have vigorously avoided encounters with Sheriff's Deputies)

*Where are the Feds?  On many incidents where I believe they have no role or interests I usually see FBI, ATF and DHS raid jackets somewhere in photos.  They're no where to be found in this.  Interesting.  I have my own theories but they're too inflammatory for print.

But back to the issue at hand.

I don't think Dorner can be allowed to surrender for a few reasons...first the Cops that were killed have friends, and relatives---both factually and in spirit.  How would you feel if someone killed a brother?  Yeah.  I would lay the person responsible to waste.  If Southern LEO's get the chance then Dorner is toast.  DRT.  Dead right there.

Next an example must be set.  People like me and you ... people who have no ill will and aren't planning on committing any crimes are taking notes.  Evil individuals are too.  Unless Dorner dies bloody then society at large and crimminals in particular will take the wrong notes on what it means to go on a rampage targeting police in particular.

Dorner must die.  And its got to be bloody, and nasty.

If history is an example his rage will fade and he'll attempt to hide.  Oh well.  Too bad for ya cowboy.  You made a very rough bed.
