I think he is gone from Big Bear. He might have highjacked a car (and driver) or had a getaway car stashed there and is back in LA. JMO.

From the shares on his FB page, it appears he's got a bit of a fan club. Scary!

The burning vehicle seems like a diversion to me.

I also think he might be back in L.A.
I noticed cops parked at several intersections as I made my way back to Long Beach from Orange County just a while ago. Different jurisdictions, and one unmarked police car.

Don't know if this has been posted yet.

The vehicle was first reported about 8:30 a.m. Thursday in the 2000 block of Club View Drive south of Big Bear Lake.

Just saw a closeup on KCAL9 of the blue truck shot up by LAPD in Torrance early this morning. Countless bullet holes. It's a miracle the two women were not killed.

Just read part of his manifesto, these are the people who don't need weapons!

 

[Elley Mae]

I can not imagine being one of the people on the manifesto that he is upset with. What do they do if he just up and disappears.

Gosh, when I look at a map of that approximate address, it appears to be very very close to an inhabited area. I thought it was way off in the woods somewhere. All the more reason for me to believe he had another getaway car there, just waiting for him. I also wonder how quickly after the burning truck was reported did the law enforcement people get there and figure out it was his truck? We didn't hear about it until hours later. I think he had plenty of time to get away.

I feel so sorry for them, (LE) and all he has it in for.

Do we have a map yet?
How far away is Irvin, Riverside and Big Bear?
TIA

Career woes, perceived racism fuel ex-cop's anger

http://www.centurylink.net/news/rea...ass&action=4&lang=en&_LT=UNLC_USNWU00L4_UNEWS

Christopher Dorner sees himself as a crusader, a 6-foot, 270-pound whistleblower who confronted racism early in life and believes he suffered in his career and personal life for challenging injustices from bigotry to dishonesty........

Police say Dorner began carrying out that plot last weekend when he killed a woman whose father had represented him [and her fiance] as he fought to keep his job. On Thursday — the eighth anniversary of his first day on the job with the LAPD — Dorner ambushed two officers, killing one, authorities said............

Dorner has no children and court records show his wife filed for divorce in 2007, though there's no evidence one was granted. Pighin believed Dorner lived with his mother and possibly his sister. On Wednesday night, Pighin saw a white van with two armed SWAT officers in front of Dorner's house and later learned about the manhunt.............

In the latter instance, Dorner filed a complaint against two of his fellow recruits, but only one of the men was disciplined and it left him bitter, according to court records. He would later tell a colleague the LAPD was corroded by the racism of some of its officers.

Dorner graduated and served for only four months in the field before being deployed to the Middle East in 2006 and 2007. When he returned, he was assigned to a training officer, Sgt. Teresa Evans, who became increasingly alarmed at his conduct, according a summary of an interview with Evans in Dorner's disciplinary file.

The burly man with tattoos on his biceps repeatedly asked why he was not sent to reintegration training after his return from war and on one occasion, began weeping in the patrol car and demanded to be taken back to the police academy to be retrained, court documents show.

Dorner also told Evans he was building a house in Las Vegas and intended to sue the department after his probationary period was over — a conversation Evans reported to a superior............

I don't care what the he!! his excuses are. He killed an innocent young woman and her loving fiance, just because he was mad at her father. That makes his a PSYCHO, not a civil rights activist.

Okay... what made these cops fire on that blue truck with the women in it?
Just the fact that they were out during the night with their lights off?
Did they follow it to see what the people did?
Did these women yell that they were going to kill them, or point a weapon at them?

They fired on that truck from BEHIND.

What did those people do that made them fire? I can't see a way that was justified.

I would be more afraid of the current law enforcement right now... than this one deranged man.
The one deranged man can only be in one place at a time... and he is likely targeting people.
The entire LAPD can be all over at once... and who knows who might get shot.

That is freaking scary.

My personal impression-cops were on protective detail-protecting some potential target of the suspect. The blue truck showed up that looked like the suspect vehicle. I am sure they are all freaking out, especially considering on what suspect wrote in his manifesto on what is going to happen to a cop who will try to stop him during a traffic stop. It looks like they shot up the truck because it fit the description of the suspect vehicle.

But, they shot it from behind.

I nearly had a heart attack - the third guy from the left in this picture looks incredibly like my ex-husband, who is Retired Navy.....I had to enlarge the picture to make sure that it wasn't him! (Although if it WAS my ex, I guess I would have been making a phone call tonight!)

Wonder who the blond woman is in the hotel and vacation pix? Wonder if that is the ex-wife?

???? How does that contradict my post? They saw the truck, the truck looked like the suspect's, they shot at it.
