Fuck, that's only a fifth of what was offered for Bin Laden.
The LAPD must be skeeeeered.
Why the sudden bounty? Did they get something they won't let the public know?
Andrew KlavenWhat Coulter calls “Imaginary Violence from the Right vs. Actual Violence from the Left” is not an accident. Violence is an essential part of the left’s approach. The 19th century political philosopher Frederic Bastiat pointed out the fact (that Ayn Rand later popularized) that redistribution of wealth is in and of itself an unjustified use of force against the property of individuals. The fact that it’s a collective use of force in no way legitimizes it. Nor does the sanction of raw democracy which, as the old joke goes, is just two wolves and a lamb voting on what’s for supper. In Bastiat’s words:
As the force of an individual cannot lawfully touch the person, the liberty, or the property of another individual — for the same reason, the common force cannot lawfully be used to destroy the person, the liberty, or the property of individuals or of classes.
Leftism requires this illegitimate use of force — this use of violence — because free individuals simply will not do what leftists, in their wisdom, have decided is right and good.
The left has never bought into the central revelation of the Enlightenment: things are made to work perfectly fine without much control from above. This Enlightenment insight was inspired by the earlier work of Isaac Newton who discovered that God didn’t have to move the stars around in the sky or cause the apple to fall to earth. The Big Dude had cleverly put machinery in place that worked pretty much on its own. The economist Adam Smith translated this insight into economics when he pointed out that individuals working in their own interest frequently promote the interest of everyone as if by an invisible hand. The founders translated the idea into politics by creating a system in which individuals could act without too much government interference. These geniuses didn’t trust in individual goodness, not at all. They trusted in the handiwork of the Creator — that is, they trusted the overall human system was built to work without kings and aristocrats — or a democratic mob — forcing people to do what they wanted.
Jean Jacques Rousseau, the founding saint of modern leftism, rejected that Enlightenment wisdom. He hated the modern world and thought humanity had been better off in a state of noble savagery. In that state, Rousseau believed, men were truly free because their laws naturally followed the general will. If people in the corrupt modern age violated the general will, they had to be “forced to be free.”
The logic of Rousseau led to the guillotine. You can’t say: “Well, it’s no fair blaming the pundit Rousseau for the violence of the madman Robespierre.” The guillotine was inherent in Rousseau’s thought. And it’s Rousseau’s thought — his idea that individuals should be forced to follow the “general will” — that informs all leftist thinking — including, by the way, Obama’s second inaugural address.
So no, I don’t think we should be so quick to disconnect Dorner’s kill spree from the left-wing pols and pundits who inspired it. They are philosophically complicit.
The Left has to root for him. He is one of them. They are buying his act, eating it up even.
The same cops that they use to raise taxes (along with teachers and firemen) are still the PIGS of the 60s. The fact that he killed a few of them comes under the same heading as Union violence, they have right on their side, the Occupy violence, the New Black Panthers, the guillotine...
What I see are the vast majority of people calling him a lunatic that deserves to be put down like a rabid dog. But that doesn't fit your agenda, does it?
Shall we take a look at some of the comments from the right wing fucktards after the loony went postal at the synagogue a while back?
Fox11 reporting that it's a different individual who "looked" like Dorner.
A San Bernardino County Sheriff's Deputy has been killed this afternoon in a shoot out with Christopher Dorner.
They're no longer searching cars driving down from Big Bear, and they're firing gas into the cabin at this minute.
It suggests police know he's in there, and are intent on ending this thing very soon.
