Too bad the driver didn't snap his neck on impact. He should be FORCED to pay ALL hospital bills for the people hurt by his stupidity. Probably a jig. They always run from duh po-lice.

They probably thought it was Dorner.

Yeah we did think it was Dorner originally and a lot of us ran into the kitchen and took cover because we heard a girl scream "he has a gun." it was absolutely terrifying.

All cops are criminals with badges. Defend the 2nd amendment. It is the only way to defend yourself and not end up shot on sight by the government.

Dormer is not a threat to the community. The government is using our money to protect itself.
February 11, 2013 at 12:01 AM
Mr. Mayor, it is obvious which community is threatened, and thereby offering $1M, to protect itself from Doner. What are you willing to offer civilians as compensation when your police paramitary shoots first.

Mr. Mayor is also responsible for turning LA into a nightmare city crawling with illegals, whose collective MO is to outbreed the locals, and then take control. We're doomed.

The guy is a known gang member who was in possession of narcotics with the intent to sell.

Yikes. What made him crash? Did he just take the turn too fast or something?
