Monica Quan, 28, and her fiance, Keith Lawrence, 27, were fatally shot while parking their car at their apartment complex after a Super Bowl party.

"we followed tracks from his burnt out truck but they led to nothing". Survival training 101, he knows what he's doing!

This is in my back yard and it is all we hear about. I have a friend who lives in Big Bear and he has to go through a check point to get down the mountain for work. He says that about a half a mile from the check point there is 2 suburbans parked with blacked out windows and there are AR15 barrels pointed out the windows, kill squad no doubt. This guy is never going to be taken alive.

I spend lots of time up there, every Thanksgiving actually. I have a cabin up in Fawn Skin, but I'm not going to go check it out. They've got a lot of high powered, itchy trigger fingered police up there and poor visibility.

And I'm not giving them any excuses to shoot my ass.

Is the key still under the doormat? He could use a jacket and a sammich.

I imagine it's just like First Blood up there right now, all these trigger happy cops roaming the woods, shooting at squirrels and waving tree branches. He's up in a tree, after setting up a perimeter of punji stick booby traps, eating a bobcat he strangled with his bare hands and using its pelt as a hat with bloody skin on the outside.

Maybe he went in the woods and killed himself where he figures no one will ever find him... That way their fear doesn't end.

Interesting yet very sad story.

I read his "manifesto."

If he did try to steal a boat and go to Mexico (as the OP's article suggests) it sounds like he's not doing to well.

Does he speak Spanish? He'll stand out a bit there. Does he has fake I.D.

Regardless, he seems intelligent enough and has training, ammo and fire arms.

This will not end well. It will end ugly.

I hope it ends with some serious damage to the LAPD so they must make changes for the better.

Self, would you do that ?

If they ever find him, he will have taken his own life. Usually when someone has a psychotic break and go on a rampage, the downside of when it ends is intense depression and guilt over what they did. He probably ate his own bullet by now.

I sort of believe his story about what happened to him. But he killed two innocents, he needs to be put down.

David Perdue Shot At During Search For Fugitive Christopher Dorner

David Perdue was on his way to catch some waves on Thursday morning when, according to his lawyer, a Torrance, Calif. police cruiser "slammed into his pickup and officers opened fire," reports the Los Angeles Times.
The bullets missed Perdue, but his attorney, Robert Sheahen, said his client suffered a concussion and hurt his shoulder, making it temporarily impossible for him to work at his job as a baggage handler at LAX. Perdue's car was also totaled, Sheahen told the Times.

Sheahen told the Los Angeles Daily News that the officers' actions were "violent and reckless."
The paper notes that "Perdue is a thin white man who looks nothing like Dorner" who is black and heavier set.

"In light of the officer's attempt to kill Mr. Perdue Mr. and Mrs. Perdue would like to know what, if any, disciplinary action the Torrance Police Department intends to take against the officers involved," Sheahen said in a letter sent to the department and obtained by the Daily News. "They would also like to know what the (department) intends to do to make sure that their community is not endangered like this in the future."

thats messed up!

DORNER MANHUNT: Officials worry over support for fugitive ex-LAPD officer

WEBLINK PE Special Reports: Christopher Dorner
Someone has posted fliers in Riverside bearing a picture of suspected killer Christopher Dorner in a camouflage jacket above the word ?HOPE,? echoing the iconic image that emerged during Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign.
Riverside spokeswoman Cindie Perry wrote in an email Monday, Feb. 11, that public works employees have removed about 12 of the Dorner posters, which featuring a smiling Dorner in camouflage, from the median of Magnolia Avenue between La Sierra Avenue and Pierce Street, on the city's west end.
That intersection is about eight miles away from Magnolia and Arlington Avenue, where Riverside police Officer Michael Crain was gunned down and another officer was severely wounded early Thursday.
Also, posters were removed from a commercial sign on Jefferson Street near Lincoln Avenue, where 32 of the images were arranged ?much like a quilt,? Perry wrote. Jefferson is about two miles from where Crain was killed.

Riverside Councilman Steve Adams said he believes the fliers are ?a prank of somebody with a warped sense of humor. Clearly it?s somebody trying to get attention.?
The posters aren?t the only sign that some people are trying to make a counterculture hero out of Dorner. Facebook and Twitter are full of comments from people expressing their views that the man suspecting of killing three people ? Crain and an Irvine couple ? is standing up to a corrupt, racist system of law enforcement.
In an email, Riverside Assistant Police Chief Christopher Vicino said there?s a ?small percentage of people? who dislike law enforcement, the government or both.
?We also realize that the majority of people respect and support law enforcement,? he said. ?This was never more apparent with all of the community support and empathy that the Police Department has received and continues to receive both locally and nationally.?
On Facebook, pages such as ?Christopher Jordan Dorner a Rebel? have started to advocate for the former Los Angeles city police officer who authorities said posted an online manifesto vowing to wage war against LAPD officers and their families.
Dorner, who remains at large, was fired in 2009 after officials said he made false accusations of police brutality against another officer. He is the suspect in the killing of an Irvine couple, the wounding of an LAPD officer in Corona, the slaying of Riverside Officer Michael Crain and the wounding of another Riverside cop.
Many of those supporting Dorner say they identify with his manifesto. In it, Dorner claims the LAPD is plagued by racism and injustice, and he blames the department for destroying his life.
The ?rebel? Facebook page described Dorner as: ?A REAL REBEL WITH A CAUSE! THIS MAN IS STANDING UP FOR A CAUSE HE WILL BE REMEMBERED ? HAVE RESPECT FOR A MAN WHO IS WILLING TO DIE FOR SOMETHING INSTEAD OF LIVING FOR NOTHING.?
Another pro-Dorner Facebook page reads: ?I am a man of integrity and honor, help me expose and stop the LAPD.? That page had more than 5,300 ?Likes? as of Monday, Feb. 11.
Many posts attack the LAPD as a racist organization and refer to the 1991 police beating of Rodney King, which sparked rioting a year later.
Other comments criticize the shooting by LAPD officers of two women in Torrance who were delivering newspapers early Thursday morning. The officers apparently mistook the women?s truck for Dorner?s vehicle.
One theory circulating on Facebook is that the Dorner manhunt is a government conspiracy intended to justify the taking of firearms from citizens.
Twitter also is filled with comments from Dorner supporters. Responding to a tweet asking for the community?s help finding Dorner, someone replies: ?Ahahahahahaha NOPE.?
One commenter called Dorner ?a (expletive) revolutionary ? If you haven?t already read the manifesto! (Expletive) will give you goosebumps. I hope this man goes down in history as an American hero.?
Pro-Dorner comments have also been posted on YouTube videos from The Press-Enterprise related to the Dorner story. The Press-Enterprise has disabled comments on some videos and stories because they don?t meet publishing standards.
Some Facebook and Twitter users have expressed outrage at support for Dorner.
?Internet users offer sick support for ex-cop and alleged murderer Christopher Dorner ? SOCIETY IS SICK!? read one tweet.
Mitchell Rosen, a family counselor who practices in Corona and Temecula, said online support for Dorner is often a reflection of people?s frustration with police in their own lives.
Tweeting and using Facebook is ?a third party way? of expressing that anger, said Rosen, a columnist for The Press-Enterprise. ?It pretty much gives you a veneer of insulation.?
Dorner ?certainly is not a hero,? Rosen added

I'll bet nothing happens to the cops. The cops, it seems, are more dangerous to the general public than the guy they are looking for.

^^ exactly!

a lot of the people that like his pages are saying they support looking into corruption etc but not killing innocents. a lot of people are seriously misinformed about what he did too. don't even realize the woman he killed just had the bad luck to be a cops daughter.

Most people know he was screwed over and now he's just waging his own war. Everybody has their breaking point, it just so happens that he posesses a wider range of skills than your everyday cop on the beat. I would like to see his case reopened and him exonerated, but we all know that ain't going to happen!

And the longer this goes with him not being caught is giving credence to my 1st gut suspicions, he's not up on that mountain.

He's barricaded in a cabin w/ SWAT and special forces. Regarding of tactical warfare, even if he has a diseased mind, I'm not so sure he can overcome SWAT when barricaded! He's either going to shoot it out, or they're going to put a point in his head!!!

Yeah, just seen that. Here we go....

There's been a lot of conflicting reports. But clearly this guy is on a mission! As much as I dislike the LAPD, there's not any justification shooting children or victims that have nothing to do with his issues.

I hear he shot 2 more police.

I'm with you on that one, but he vowed to go after those that wronged him and their families. And he did.

Unfortunately for him, he's not going to live to see his cliams of the LAPD be proven, unless he surrenders in front of cameras.

Updates on Christopher Dorner Manhunt - NYTimes.com

Citing a law enforcement officer, our colleagues Ian Lovett, Jennifer Medina and Michael Wilson reported on Tuesday that a body had indeed been found in the wreckage of the cabin, which caught fire and burned in the standoff with police on Tuesday. Numerous other news outlets reported the same.

But in a news conference later on Tuesday evening, Cmdr. Andrew Smith of the Los Angeles Police Department denied these reports. No body had been recovered from the cabin, he said, because the wreckage was still too hot for investigators to enter.

apparently this is tied to some area 51 shit
