[TheTexan]

One who happened to be wearing camo and carring guns and started shooting at officers when they aproached him?

According to who, Zippy, according to who?

Drudge Report headline reads "Burned alive?"

Seems that way. They probably surrounded the place and set it on fire to flush him out or let him die by fire.

Spokesperson says they will let it burn out.

Officers putting weapons down, walking out from cover, smoking cigarettes.

Both the radioreference and the tunein scanners went down around the same time...

Either that or they shot him in the horse corral, and they're just holding back the firemen because of the ammo.

According to the guy who had his car jacked by this person.

I don't get why they're burning the place down.

Just use smoke grenades and stake the place out and if he comes out shooting then kill him but to burn the place down? wtf?

Based off of recent events I will assume that the Dorner they are cirrently roasting is actually a 6 year old Mexican child or something.

Hope the owner's insurance policy covers police abuse.

I think I missed that part >__< Still, even though I am sure it is him, there is a chance that it is somebody else.

They initially threw tear gas, might have been what started the fire.

 

[kcchiefs6465]

That fire's going to spread.

There goes the neighborhood?

Wouldn't be the first time. Anyone remember the 1985 MOVE bombing?

They literally dropped a bomb out of a helicopter and shot anyone who fled the resulting fire. Cops acknowledged shooting over 10,000 rounds.

MOVE

teargas grenades and flash bangs sometimes start fires.

Ammo in a fire is not very dangerous,,only a bit disconcerting.
Outside a gun chamber it just pops.

Often. usually even.

Press conference. Missed most of it (lost connection) but ended with spokeswoman saying she could not say for certain that Dorner was no longer a concern and that roads in the area would stay closed for "several more hours at least".

 

[CPUd]

When the fire started, someone was asking about whether or not the place had propane tanks.

Disappointed. No combat quals.

Assuming that is true..
and not just a disgruntled wife screwing with her survivalist old man.
