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.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"In an age rife with media-inspired confusion and political cowardice, we yearn for a decent, caring, deeply human soul whose grasp of the problems confronting us provides a light by which we can make our way through the quagmire of lies, distortions, pandering, and hollow self-puffery that strips the American Dream of its promise. How lucky we are, then, to have access to the wit, wisdom, and willingness of Thom Hartmann, who shares with us here that very light, grown out of his own life experience."
