1. They're gonna Dorner him

[zappaman]

2. "They're gonna Dorner him"

What does that mean?

[gcomeau]

3. That "D" is next to "C" on a keyboard. -eom

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. Name of Big Bear Lake, CA shooter a few months ago.

[zappaman]

6. I know that.

but I want to know what the poster means by "Dorner him".

[Posteritatis]

7. Means to execute him on sight. (nt)

[geek tragedy]

10. Dorner wasn't executed, he was tear gased and committed suicide. nt

[Posteritatis]

12. I know, but people still spin it that way. (nt)

[zappaman]

13. You mean kill a murderer who is trying to kill you

and seemingly wants to go out in a blaze of glory?

Not sure that applies here but it certainly might.

"execution"

[Posteritatis]

14. *shrug* I'm defining a term. Don't shoot the messenger. (nt)

[octothorpe]

23. There will be a few people who will claim they murdered these two boys...

I don't think they will be too well received though.

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. see post 7

[geek tragedy]

11. Tear gas nt

[zappaman]

15. No.

Apparently Dorner was "executed"...according to some in this thread.

[geek tragedy]

18. Yeah, just like the older brother here was 'executed' nt

[Blue_In_AK]

4. I certainly hope not.

I want him captured alive so that we can get to the bottom of the motivations for this.

We have people on the comment section of our local newspaper calling for the deportation of all Muslims (despite the fact that some Muslims have been Americans since slavery days). I just want to some clarity on what was behind this assault so these haters will shut up.

[Trajan]

17. well ... it would be nice if the suspect would comply

and get down on the ground so Mr. Policeman can arrest him alive ...

Some fellas don't want to go out like that ... they want fireworks and excitement ...

[justiceischeap]

8. Why the hell would they Dorner him?

(Burn him alive using gas canisters) when they want to know if he's connected to someone else? It makes absolutely no sense.

[geek tragedy]

16. Dorner wasn't burned alive, he shot himself in the head rather than surrender

after they used tear gas.

[justiceischeap]

19. The poster was implying they were going to burn him alive

*I* know he shot himself first.

[geek tragedy]

20. There's not much chance of them burning him alive if he's able to move his legs.

[justiceischeap]

21. Depending on how quickly they get to him (it appears he's injured).

I want him alive.

[panAmerican]

22. Yes, he shot himself, but he wouldn't have made it out alive

I did mean "Dorner him" in terms of tear gassing the place.

When someone commits acts like that, and they get cornered, it's hard to justify attempting to spare their life. Maybe he'll surrender, maybe he won't; if there's no clear indication of which decision the person will make, the outcome is usually fatal.
