Fighting tyranny is one thing. Killing someone in the process is wrong.

If he was fighting tyranny with non-violent actions, I would say that was a good cause. If he were blowing up empty police cars, throwing tea into the harbor, or something which got peoples attention, but did not kill or injure anyone, I could understand it.

I assume the NRA will be suggesting that all their members get their guns and go hunt Dorner. After all the solution to one nut with a gun is an armed mob.

This is an odd poll question. So far the only support he is getting is from the anti-gun nuts and not the other way around.

If you enjoy golf, you are a golf enthusist or it is your hobby, likewise with skiing,hikeing horseback ect. If you enjoy shooting, reloading, gunsmithing or hunting you are a "gun nut" looking for someone to shoot. Do I have the definition of gun nut right?

Nobody should believe anything said by the LAPD or the media until they have read Dorner's words for themselves. I am so glad I don't live in LA any more, but unfortunately Daryl Gates and his ilk have been sniffing around the Portland police department for decades and as a result we have the same kind of corrupt, psychotic attitudes that the LAPD has in spades.

While I hate to condone the killings, I understand what he is trying to do and in a choice between the LAPD and Dorner, I choose the latter.

Aw c'mon "mkiprc"... choose a serial killer over the police?! Like choosing skinheads over the KKK. WHUP-ti-do.

Hello All

Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

Please follow us across to hartmannreport.com - this will be the only place going forward to read Thom's blog posts and articles.

From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
Eric Utne, Founder, Utne magazine
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
Paul Hawken, coauthor of Natural Capitalism and author of The Ecology of Commerce
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Right through the worst of the Bush years and into the present, Thom Hartmann has been one of the very few voices constantly willing to tell the truth. Rank him up there with Jon Stewart, Bill Moyers, and Paul Krugman for having the sheer persistent courage of his convictions."
Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth
