Christopher Dorner is thought to be hiding in California’s snow-capped San Bernardino mountain

They believe burly, heavily-armed Christopher Dorner is holed-up in the wilderness of California’s
snow-capped San Bernardino mountains 80 miles east of Los Angeles.

The burnt-out shell of his pick-up truck was discovered in the nearby resort of Big Bear, where residents
and tourists have been warned to stay indoors as the search continues.

Yesterday, as a task force of 125 officers, some riding Snowcats in the rugged terrain, continued their
search, it was revealed that Dorner has become the first human target for remotely-controlled airborne
drones on US soil.

A senior police source said: “The thermal imaging cameras the drones use may be our only hope
of finding him. On the ground, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

Asked directly if drones have already been deployed, Riverside Police Chief Sergio Diaz, who is jointly
leading the task force, said: “We are using all the tools at our disposal.”

The use of drones was later confirmed by Customs and Border Patrol spokesman Ralph DeSio, who
revealed agents have been prepared for Dorner to make a dash for the Mexican border since his
rampage began.

He said: “This agency has been at the forefront of domestic use of drones by law enforcement. That’s
all I can say at the moment.”

Dorner, who was fired from the LAPD in 2008 for lying about a fellow officer he accused of misconduct,
has vowed to wreak revenge by “killing officers and their families”.

In a chilling, 6,000 word “manifesto” on his Facebook page he has threatened to “bring warfare” to the
LAPD and “utilize every bit of small arms training, demolition, ordinance and survival training I’ve been
given.”

Dorner, 33, who rose to the rank of lieutenant in the US Navy and served in Iraq before joining the LAPD,
also ominously warned that he has shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles to “knock out” any helicopters
used to pursue him.

Last night, Brian Levin, a psychologist and professor of criminal justice at Cal State University, San
Bernardino, said: “We’re talking about someone who basically perceives that a tremendous injustice
has been done to him that took his life and identity.

“Now he is, quite literally, at war.”

Dorner’s rampage began last Sunday when he shot dead Monica Quan, 27, the daughter of a former
LAPD captain, and her fiancé Keith Lawrence as they sat in their car outside their home in Irvine,
California.

Three days later, he stole a boat at gunpoint from an 81-year-old man at a yacht club in San Diego,
near the Mexican border. He abandoned the boat when he could not get its engine to start.

    The thermal imaging cameras the drones use may be our only hope of finding him. On the ground,
it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The following day, last Thursday, he was involved in a shoot-out with police in Cornona, 110 miles north
of San Diego. The officers, one of whom was wounded, had been guarding one of his intended online
targets.

Later that day, in nearby Riverside, he killed one police officer, whose name has not yet been revealed
for security reasons, and wounded a second after opening fire on their car at a set of traffic lights.

As the manhunt for him broadened across numerous police jurisdictions, police mistakenly shot and
wounded a mother and daughter delivering newspapers in a pick-up truck similar to Dorner’s.

That incident, in the LA suburb of Torrance, was astonishingly followed two hours later by another in
the same area, when police again opened fire on a pick-up. This time, there were no casualties. Hours
later, Dorner’s actual pick-up truck was found on a forest road near Big Bear City.

“He had torched it,” a San Bernardino police spokesman said. “We assume it may have broken down
before he set fire to it.”

Since then, the huge manhunt for Dorner has focused on an area where hundreds of log cabins, both
owned and rented out to tourists, are dotted around the mountainside.

“There is a strong possibility he is using an empty or abandoned one as a bolt-hole,” the police
spokesman added last night.

LAPD police chief Charlie Beck, who has pleaded on TV with Dorner to surrender, accepted he might
be “difficult to find”, adding: “He knows what he is doing. We trained him and he was also a member
of the armed forces. It is extremely worrisome and scary.”

Police have also pleaded with local residents not to try to mount a civilian vigilante force or try to
aid in the hunt for the fugitive.

However, one Big Bear resident, Dennis Pollock, said: “I did 12 years in the Marine Corps. Give me
a sniper rifle, some gear, and point me in his general direction and get out of my way.”

Another local said: “We know every inch of this terrain and could be a real help to the cops, but all
they’ve told us to do is stay at home and lock all our doors.”

Last night, America’s National Weather Center warned that the hunt for Dorner could be further
hampered by an expected snowfall of up to 6ins in the mountains. Wind gusts of up to 50mph
are also forecast, creating an extreme wind-chill factor in the already freezing conditions.

San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said: “To be honest, he could be anywhere right now.
Torching his own vehicle could have been a diversion to throw us off track. Anything is possible with
this man.”

I love how L4L uses such a misleading title for this thread. It's like he works for MSNBC or CNN.

So L4L, what's the difference between using an surveillance drone or a helicopter?

The following sentence was part of the story:

"Dorner has become the first human target for remotely-controlled airborne drones on US soil."

The website software does not allow a title that long, so I removed the least important words
from that sentence.

The title factually represents the main emphasis of the writer of the story.

I like how buck left out FOX News for misleading headlines.

And you took that one line in the body of the story and turned it into a misleading title, leading the reader to think that the drones are armed and ready to fire on contact.

Here is what should have been because it's actually part of the story title....

Won't fit?...Let's modify it....

Still won't fit?

Or you could just post the story here ( http://www.rotterdamny.info/m-1360245439/s-new/#num74 ) instead of being like Boxy and making 50 useless threads about the same subject (or are you really a Boxy alt?)

Yes L4L there is a HUGE difference between a strike drone and a spy drone....And a spy drone is no different than a manned helicopter or plane looking for someone.

I'm sorry Cicero....I'm sorry I left out Fox News.

I'm also sorry I left out the fact that you were being dicked in the a** by a $5 Schenectady whore wearing the 9 inch strapon that you got from 'Another World' bookstore while smoking a doob face down on a picture of Obama, while making your retarded post

C'mon Hannity, lighten up.  You don't need to project your suppressed homoerotic fantasies onto me out of anger.  It's ok, Fox News is still on.  I'm not sure if the "culture warriors" on O'reilly would condone your gay sex fantasies.

They sell strapons at a bookstore?

And $5 Schenectady whores. I've never seen them sell for over $3.

BUCK...c'mon....you know these jokers need sensationalism, or there is nothing for them to talk about.  They would be bored and have to
watch re-runs of Sponge Bob or something. Outside of this forum, they have NOTHING...in the real world everyone knows they are
terminally stupid, so this forum is their only outlet to vent and have a life.  

By the way, Cissy didn't spend $5...he had a groupon coupon from last two-for-one!!!  

Of course L4L, really does believe it's a bookstore....that's what he tells his family when he goes there!!!!
