Dorner was engaged in a shootout with federal authorities in the Big Bear area, sources ha

So Dorner has a shoot-out with police on the street in front of the cabin then runs into the cabin... What's to stop him from running out the back right away and letting them think he's holed up inside?? The cabin was not surrounded until AFTER he ran into it...

For capture and arrest.. Dead doesn't count.
No money for you.

Since they never planned on taking him alive, that money was never in jeopardy. It might as well have been $1 Billion

On CNN they said someone tried to get out the back of the cabin while it was burning and was pushed back in, but they don't know if it was Dorner.

Nothing. No one knows for certain Dorner is dead. (even if there was a body/bodies in the cabin)

I'm remembering something about how when San Francisco burnt down houses to create a firebreak during the Great Fire after the big earthquake long ago, and it went much further than was actually needed, house owners weren't able to get compensation because it was a public emergency. I doubt they'll pull that here, too bad PR, but I don't know how much suing would get them, if they are allowed to burn out humans at all.

Someone mentioned earlier about the insurance covering this loss. Most Homeowners policies exclude coverage for governmental acts:

An HO-3 policy is often called a "special form" because it covers everything except certain perils outlined in the policy. It is the most popular type of policy. The standard HO-3 policy contains these exclusions:
"Governmental action, such as the destruction, confiscation or seizure of covered property by any governmental or public authority."

I'm kind of hoping he slipped out.. or that it was not him in the first place.

It seems weird someone like him would run into a cabin knowing he would be barricaded, hell if I were him I would have hopped in the river behind the cabin and floated downstream. Or even more simply he could have just ran deeper into the woods.

insuring your home against government destruction would make the rates unaffordable.
what is the insurance agency saying about government violence?

Likewise. I hope he makes fools out of the whole damn system.

Never underestimate how cold a winter river is. Now should he had a wet suit, and a little bit of preparation, it's feasible.

But he had police choppers overhead. His only hope was to find an underground passageway of some type.

Better then burning to death in a cabin.

I don't know if this time of year there is a river that deep to give you cover up there. Maybe I'm not thinking of one but all the rivers I know are the over rock variety.

Or find a path that has enough tree cover until you're out of range of where most of the choppers are looking for him.

glad to hear it. Burning people alive, particularly if you aren't certain it is them and aren't certain they are alone seems a tad cruel and unusual.

ditto!

Hello, LA county morgue?
Yes - we have a problem. Could you find a corpse about 270 lb, pour a couple of gallons of gas on it and light it and deliver it up here to Big Bear?
Yes, a middle of the night delivery would be ideal.
Thank you!
