"often" not always though so wouldn't be a sure thing
That's a pretty weak box under your feet Fancy. I'm not going to put a whole lot of weight in your current defense, as it's too far of a stretch to consider they would lob 7 "burners" into a wooden box full of wooden sticks and not expect at least one "burner" to ignite.
I know you like to stand steadfast on your defense of cops in general, but sometimes you really need to step off the wobbly-box and take a look from the perspective from another point of view. You'll see then just how ludicrous some of your defense is.
I'm convinced in my head that you know these pigs set this place ablaze with intent.

I'm not defending anyone - there is a review underway regarding what happened. My focus is more on Dorner not being glorified or sympathized with. If it were not for his actions, the cabin would still be standing.

Your posts don't match your focus.

I've pretty much said he made bad choices and he is responsible for what happened to him.

I don't think anyone's truly arguing that. What I keep seeing in this thread are tangents & truths being skewed against one another.
What I see in this entire debacle are a lot of wrongs, and no rights.

Isn't this ironic:
The woman that Dorner accused of using excessive force in his manifesto gave a crucial "tip" at the beginning of this investigation apparently.
Instances of doing right or doing wrong must be able to withstand being judged independently and on their own individual merit. There are very, very few instances where the taking of a human life can be justified on the basis that the end justifies the means. And this is definitely not one of those instances. Two wrongs can never result in justice. I believe that Mr Dormer was driven to do what he did by wrong doing on the part of others who were in positions of trust. But what he himself did as a result of being unable to hold those other persons to account was equally unacceptable ... for far different reasons. The final act of causing the cabin to burn raises serious questions that we will likely never be able to answer. The whole sequence of events is, in my opinion, a clear example of what can happen when social justice and inequality are tramped on by the the people in any society.
