Actually, we don't know that he isn't running around like DC sniper. He allegedly killed a cop that was in a car stopped by the red light. So any random cop could be a target. He doesn't have to know the cops, and they don't have to know him. And there are lots of cops looking for him. So that makes for a lot of targets.
Yes, but jjenny, those were his targets...I'm not LE. So I'm not a target. As I said to someone else, nowhere on his manifesto does he say he's targeting middle aged, middle weight, white suburbanite RNs.
He is narrow in his selection - LE and their families. Not just anyone; not just folks going to the market or the park. The DC sniper was targeting "just anyone." No rhyme or reason (note: I'm not saying justification...) to DC Sniper...whomever he chose that day, for his own reasons, was shot.
This guy is not doing that. Dorner has a very specific list of people he is targeting.
I've said before, and I'll say it again...he's not the Night Stalker or the Hillside Stranglers. He's not even Manson and crew. He's not the usual serial killer or rampage killer. He's not going to come into my house in the middle of the night and rape and kill me, just because I live on a corner.
No, this guy is far more dangerous to a limited segment of the population...and I don't fall within his parameters. I believe he is disciplined enough, and specifically angry enough, to target LE and their families, and also perhaps naval officers and perhaps catholic leaders (he mentioned Cardinal Mahoney).
He is rampaging, but he is targeting those folks that he believes have committed crimes, in whatever sense that is.
I am in danger all the time in this city. My (late) father had a roommate who was carjacked in the same driveway I pull into daily. I was recently assaulted at a dog park. But this guy? No, I'm not on his radar...not in the least.
BTW, nothing I've said should ever be construed as supporting Dorner. Not in the least. I think he's wrong, and I agree, he is evil. But he's not a Lanza...he's not insane. He's calculating and plotting, and I suspect he's in my city now...but he's not going to go into a school and shoot up classrooms of kids just because.
No, he's got a strict code of ethics (not ethics I agree with, but still...), and he will limit himself to those targets he's already named.
And, of course I could be wrong. I could be his next target. But I don't think so...I just don't think so.
Best-
