Christopher Dorner is Still Alive

 Conspiracy theorists have united behind what they see as another rush to judgment in the reporting of the demise of suspected killer Christopher Jordan Dorner. After posting his “manifesto” online as a way to vindicate his dismissal from the Los Angeles Police Department, he allegedly shot and killed two people in Irvine, a police officer in Riverside, and a San Bernardino sheriff’s deputy. His ten day rampage supposedly came to an end when he barricaded himself inside a cabin in the San Bernardino mountains; law enforcement fired tear gas into the structure that caught on fire; a single gunshot was heard; and a body was recovered after the building burned to the ground.

Members of conspiratorial movements on both the left and right have wasted no time in citing the lack of proof that this case is truly over. Old timers note how the Supreme Court whitewashed the Kennedy assassination with the Warren Commission findings back in the middle of the last century. Of course those on the right quickly point out how the current administration continues to hide the actual birthplace of the president. Fingerprints, birth certificates and dental records aside, all of these theories provide alarmists with much to be concerned about whether or not there is any validity to them.

As a citizen living in Southern California within an hour drive of where this carnage took place, and having watched live on local television the standoff at the cabin unfold, I must admit it was a relief when the announcement of the body being found was reported. Then, two days later to hear authorities confirm it was Dorner’s body brought a sigh of relief. However, when one longtime conspiracy theorist pointed out the inaccuracies of the live reporting it brought into question the reporting of his death. For example, as we watched aerial shots of the woods and cabin in the mountains the reporters kept saying Dorner tied up a maid and her daughter and stole their white or silver pickup. Turns out he actually bound up the couple who owned the place in Big Bear where he had hid for several days while they were away. He took their purple Nissan, and didn’t get the pickup until he carjacked it later. Where did the maid story come from? How did they miss the purple car? Is Christopher Dorner really dead?

So, what if you are a rational thinking person and accept that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and the president was born in Honolulu? You probably want to know what would motivate anyone to conceal the truth. This same source says it is most likely the right wing attempting to hide the incompetence of law enforcement agencies. She thinks it might have gone as far as finding him a place to disappear to in some clandestine Nazi hideout in Argentina, in order to restore economic prosperity to the ski resort community.

Those who posit the cover up theory on the right point out it was the left wing media who kept alluding to portions of his manifesto as a need for further gun control. Dorner was apparently amazed at the ease with which a deranged individual, such as himself, could purchase so many guns and large quantities of ammunition. His death, according to gun advocates who adhere to strong conspiratorial beliefs and are certain the president comes from Kenya, makes his manifesto a kind of martyred testimony for the left.

Bolt your doors tonight. Sleep with your gun under your pillow, because even if you’re just the second cousin twice removed of someone responsible for Dorner’s dismissal from the LAPD you are still at risk as long as he is still out there.
