Biography of Chris Dorner

Chris Dorner, a 33-year-old former police officer from Los Angeles, California, went underground after declaring a hunt for his former colleagues. He made a promise to eliminate them along with their families. In a passionate manifesto, Dorner explained his actions, stating that he snapped due to the unjust "system," racism, and flaws in society. He described his childhood as a good boy from an ordinary African American family. However, he began to retaliate against racist bullies in school who called him derogatory names. After high school, Dorner joined the army, where he excelled as a soldier. His experiences in the military taught him survival skills and various methods to eliminate enemies. In 2003, Dorner left the army and found a perfect outlet for his skills by joining the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). His motivation was to fight crime and corruption and restore justice to society.

However, Dorner quickly realized the reality of the police force. He not only experienced the effects of racism but also witnessed sadistic tendencies among his colleagues and widespread corruption. These flaws shattered his faith in those who were supposed to protect and serve the citizens. Despite his efforts to expose his colleagues, Dorner was repeatedly transferred to different positions, eventually leading to his dismissal from the police force in 2009.

Desperate for justice, Dorner sought help from various institutions, but his efforts were in vain. He then decided to become a vigilante, declaring himself as judge and prosecutor. His main targets were those who had made his life miserable and anyone who contributed to the corrupt system. In his manifesto, he listed white racists, African American superiors, sadistic Latin American officers, lesbian women who dominated men, and Asian criminals as his enemies. Dorner claimed to possess all the necessary tools, including firearms and anti-aircraft weapons, to carry out his mission. He believed that he had studied police tactics extensively, making him virtually untouchable by law enforcement.

Dorner's violent actions began on February 3, 2013, when he shot the daughter of a former colleague and her fiancé. Three days later, he attempted to hijack a yacht and opened fire on police officers guarding one of his potential targets. He succeeded in injuring one guard but killed another officer and critically wounded a third. On the morning of February 7, Dorner set his car on fire and escaped in an unknown direction. In their fervor to apprehend him, Dorner's former colleagues mistakenly shot and injured two elderly postal workers who were unaware of the situation.

Currently, Dorner's manifesto has gained support from hundreds of fans, particularly on the internet. This reaction is partly due to widespread dissatisfaction with the Los Angeles Police Department's actions. It is not unlikely that Dorner will receive assistance from gangsters, anarchists, and left-wing radicals. Despite the threats from law enforcement, the social media praise for the fugitive continues to grow. The Los Angeles Police Department has offered a $1 million reward for any information leading to Dorner's capture.
