“The extraordinary manhunt for the former Los Angeles police officer suspected of three murders converged Tuesday on a mountain cabin where he was believed to have barricaded himself inside, engaged in a shootout that killed a deputy and then never emerged as the home went up in flames,” boston.com reports. CBS confirms that cop killer Christopher Dorner died in the conflagration. “The man believed to be Dorner never came out of the cabin, and a single shot was heard inside before the cabin was engulfed in flames,” a law enforcement official told The Associated Press.
He’d have been there sooner, but those boots he wears have something like 38 eyelets to lace up.

Ok, so complete noob here when it comes to tactics, but isn’t a 40-man team kinda overkill? I mean the cabin can’t be that big so at most you’re probablt gonna send in 2-3 teams of maybe 6, so what to do rest of the guys do? Stand around posing for the cameras looking badass?
Since it didn’t make the Digest (possibly because I didn’t send it in) here’s the story of a middle-school teacher here in CA who has been pocket-carrying a .380 to protect his students. Apparently it was an open secret among his students (bad OpSec, dude) and post-Newtown somebody leaked it to an psycho-anti-gun parent, who reacted as one might expect.

Isn’t it great how he’s being smeared by the police and the school district in their public statements, yet the only crime he allegedly committed was possession of a pocket handgun profoundly unsuited to anything but point defense against the next spree shooter…
Obama runs a great election organization. Nobody can mobilize young low information voters like him. However, when it comes to dealing with pros he falls flat on his face. He folded a winning hand on taxes and the budget in December to an unappreciated bluff by John Boehner. He now has his minions admitting that sequestration was a ploy to trap the House Republicans but he is the one who is cornered on the budget. Does he really think that the House Republicans are going to give him the time of day on gun control? Reid will never move a Senate bill that won’t pass the House and Barry knows it. It’s all theater.
A big ol’ fire with the ATF nowhere in sight? I don’t believe it.
The People Deserve a vote, a voice and the RIGHT as well.
I dislike this man so much. How does a free nation elect a spineless hypocrite twice?
What have the millions of law abiding citizens done to this man and the Democratic party to be assailed and hated so much? Why do our rights have to be compromised?
Oh yeah, because individual freedoms is what scares them the most.
I am so ashamed that this nation reelected this poor excuse of a man. A dishonest, arrogant power hungry awful man. We must vote everyone of these losers out of office. They are a disgrace.
Obama has been saying the same BS lies for the lat 5 years. Studies show, experts all agree, polls show, overwhelming Americans agree all followed by a big fat lie. In fact the latest Gallup polls say the exact opposite of what Obama wants on pretty much everything, including gun control. I maybe can understand falling for his lies in 08 but you have to be a complete idiot to vote for him again in 12.
He also spoke about sensible spending cuts, and then lists a dozen new programs. Explain that one to me??
They deserve a vote, that is the best you can come up with? Seriously???
The whole “nukes” argument is bogus. Obammy doesn’t want to rule a nuclear wasteland. He wants as many nice healthy subjects as possible.
I’ve landed healthy White Mountain trout that flopped less than him.
Dorner peacefully surrendered to LE yesterday. The politicians and police brass ordered Dorner executed today so he could not be tried by a jury. LE put his body into the cabin setting it afire to create this fake news story. It is not know at this time if Michelle Obama will attend the funeral since Dorner was a known supporter of gun control.
Just spent the last hour on a google tangent. The Carpenter story (Merced Pitchfork Murders) is quite compelling. I also found some interesting info on the Pearl High School Shooting in which an assistant principal had to run a quarter mile to his car to retrieve his firearm and run back to stop a school shooting because he was in compliance with the gun free zone laws (until he ran back with his gun and detained the shooter until police arrived).
Anyone know what the pistol the fellow in the picture is holding? It looks vaguely like a Beretta 92 but it’s not.
Better keep an eye on this space. Police spokesman is saying right now that they have NOT confirmed a body inside of the cabin. It is still “too hot” to enter the cabin. They do not know if there is or is not a body in there.
I suppose, with a body burned too badly to visually identify, we’ll just have to take everyone’s word on who it is or isn’t.
The military has collected and stored DNA for all service members for years. No more candidates for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. If that is Dorner, he’ll be positively identified.
CNN: LAPD’s Andrew Smith contradicts earlier report that a body was found in cabin that burned in hunt for Christoper Dorner.

If I put my heart and soul into a blog, I’d try to create some revenue too. By all means advertise.
But the frame at the bottom of the page is incredibly obnoxious. Like bad enough to make me avoid TTAG.

The main reason the nuke vs. gun ownership falls flat is the reality of urban and residential planning.
Unless you live out in the boonies, chances are you are going to be living with neighbors beside, above, or below your residence. There simply isn’t enough space between you and your neighbors which doesn’t make it practical or responsible to own and store explosive devices with substantial explosive capacity (much less a nuke) in your home or on your person.
Which is why the police typically don’t carry grenades on their person. The army is allowed to carry explosives because they are in hostile warzones often surrounded by unpredictable, and unseen assailants.
That’s a big, glaring, common sense distinction.
Unless the US turns into a hostile warzone, high explosives aren’t needed by the average citizen.
I honestly wish they’d taken him alive so that the full story could have come out at his trial. He would still be headed for life-without-parole, but if there’s any truth to his allegations, justice should be done on BOTH sides of the “thin blue line”.
This man is ever so confusing…he says claims people deserve a vote, but denies the vote by spewing executive orders. That’s it. I give up. Which line do I get in for my loaf of bread?
Seems a bit too convenient, especially since I hear they didn’t find a body yet. I’ve seen people in my own town escape SWAT raids, and they definitely weren’t armed, let alone ex-Marine Scout Snipers who were armed.
End half-joking paranoia
Another anti-gun liberal POS bites the dust…good riddance MFer!

Ads are a necessary evil. I will never begrudge anyone who is working to make a living. Lord knows enough people begrudge me; despite my one hundred-plus hour, no vacation work schedule. At the same time, this bottom ad is equivalent to Ricky Bobby putting the “Wonder Bread” ad across his windshield. It definitely diminishes the content and the brand…get rid of it….fast;)
Love me some TTAG. Keep up the great work.
I cannot get to older articles from the home page. The ad does not show up properly on my work computer. It is just a blank white rectangle and there is no “x” to click on (I tried clicking where it would be, no go). When I scroll down as far as I can on the page it is not enough for the ad to not cover the links for older entries, so the ghost white rectangle is covering that link. Can you add some extra blank space to the bottom of the page so you can scroll down a little more to reveal that link from behind the ad?
Question: How does an ACLU lawyer count from 1 to 10?
Answer: 1, 3, 4, 5 . . .
The ACLU doesn’t care. How about the NRA or GOA? There must be a watchdog group that can provide legal assistance and prosecute any overreach by authorities.
The sound of a British person trying to tell me what to do makes my blood boil. I think it is ingrained in my DNA.
lol, but can he do it with a browning M2?!
