| Charred human remains have been found in the burned-out cabin where fugitive former Los Angeles police officer Christopher Dorner was believed to be, according to a sheriff´s spokeswoman. Jodi Miller from San Bernardino County sheriff´s office said the remains were found late Tuesday after a shootout that killed one sheriff´s deputy and injured another. It brings the number of murders Dorner is said to have committed to four. Authorities believe Dorner barricaded himself inside the cabin and a fire later ensued. Investigators will attempt to determine if the remains are Dorner´s through forensic tests, but it could take up to

Brilliant...So at this point they only SUSPECT it was him. There is a shootout at a cabin and it burns to the ground. What if they find it was not him ? Go to the next cabin with another armed man and shoot that place up too ? Eventually they will get the right one.

Five bucks says he read that John Grisham book and the remains ain´t his.
Kill some poor sap, drag his carcass into the cabin, get the cops to burn it.
And don´t count on ever hearing definitely that it was his body, the cops have way too much to lose by having to say ´Oh, sh*t....´

Some of the above comments lead to believe the cops are just a bunch of murderous thugs going from cabin to cabin getting into firefights with people and then torching them. Another suggest a Waco scenario all over again, that he was this person holding out in a cabin, did nothing to instigate a high profile police hunt threatening police officers with a manifesto a hit list of names, including their families (BTW, one of the fatalities he is responsible for was the daughter of one person on the hit list)and had actually carried out his threats and killed several police officers.
I can´t believe that even here we have people wanting to make this poor excuse for protein a martyr.

I think #4 may have a clue. Why did he purchase scuba gear if not to use it to breathe under ground? A prepared spot in the cellar, cover himself up so he won´t be found, and wait till the cops leave. Farfetched? Maybe, but until DNA proves the body is Dorner, I will continue to be skeptical.

I disagree, #9. This was almost certainly suicide by cop.
As for ID, waiting for an autopsy to confirm identity probably would be standard operating procedure in all jurisdictions because nobody saw the human remains before they were "charred" and identifying features are probably unrecognizable, thus a positive visual ID would be next to impossible.

Cop haters are usually folks who have gotten what they felt was an undeserved traffic ticket, or couldn´t talk their way out of a citation. Who you gonna call when crime reaches into your home and threatens your very existence? Have a gun handy and a cell phone ready to call 911. They are there to help you even if you don´t like them.
The last shot the officers heard from Dorner was him committing suicide. Saved Southern California a lot of money and no one is sad to see him gone.

#17: I agree. They heard a single shot but couldn´t determine whether it was a shot out of the cabin or within. He was dead the whole time the cabin was burning.
He did make a splash, the murdering puke. He may have had a righteous cause, but his outrageous, heinous actions have made any real sunlight on his charges highly unlikely. Good going, dunder.

On 17 July 1974, the LAPD used the same method to "subdue" 6 memeber of the SLA. The next day, an anonymous phone call to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) stated that several heavily armed people were staying at the caller´s daughter´s house. That afternoon, more than 400 LAPD officers, under the command of Captain Mervin King, along with the FBI, California Highway Patrol, and Los Angeles Fire Department surrounded the neighborhood. The leader of a SWAT team used a bullhorn to announce, "Occupants of 1466 East 54th Street, this is the Los Angeles Police Department speaking. Come out with your hands up!" a member of the SWAT team fired tear gas projectiles into the house. This was answered by heavy bursts of automatic gunfire, and a battle began.
Two hours later, the house caught fire. Two women left from the rear of the house and one came out the front (she had come in drunk the previous night, passed out, and woken up in the middle of the siege); all were taken into custody, but were found not to be SLA members. Automatic weapons fire continued from the house.
The rest died inside, from smoke inhalation, burns and gunshot wounds. After the shooting stopped and the fire was extinguished, 19 firearms—including rifles, pistols, and shotguns—were recovered. Several thousands of rounds had been fired out of the house by the SLA and police in response had fired several thousands of rounds into the house. This remains one of the largest police shootouts in history with a reported total of over 9,000 rounds being fired. Every round fired by SLA members at the police missed the officers.
Google SLA.

#20, I was wondering the same thing. Thought for a minute I had accidently entered the Daily Kos. Folks, the man had a shoot out going on with police before he (probably) shot himself. I neither know nor care how the fire started. He´s dead now and people like my cousin, a deputy in neighboring Riverside County, can breathe easier. Spare me the "evil cops" nonsense. This was a disturbed individual who had previously served his country in the Navy, and I´m sorry his life spun out of control and resulted in his death and that of several others. But the conspiracy theories being bandied about here in my favorite salon are sad.

I notice the depraved mainstream media always seems to show a picture of this monster with a big, wide grin standing next to an American flag wearing a soldier´s uniform. Makes you wonder what the msm is trying to tell us subliminally? They showed us pictures of that violent gang-banger Trayvon Martin looking like a school kid with a big smile also. But any picture of John Boehner always shows him with a mean look or a scowl.

So what will be remembered as the biggest political event of spring 2013? Naturally the death of Lady Thatcher must be the prime candidate. But there is another that has thus far consumed only a tiny proportion of the column inches that have rightly been expended on the passing of the Iron Lady yet may have more pro found and longerlasting consequences. I speak of the rise and rise of Ukip. The Eastleigh by-election, in which Ukip sensationally beat the Conservatives to second place, has of course registered in the national political consciousness.

This is written in haste, at the end of a day full of meetings. But British readers must know about the case of Dr Kermit Gosnell, which has been played down in the American media – possibly because the allegations of a homicidal abortion doctor don´t fit into their pro-choice narrative. The following quotes are taken from Conor Friedersdorf´s report in The Atlantic. You will need a strong stomach, but I urge you to read it all.

Its flavour may be more gentle than a conventional clove, but wild garlic adds a sweet pungency to many springtime dishes. Last spring a friend left a carrier bag hanging on my door. I could smell what was inside before I looked. She had returned from Wales with armfuls of wonderful wild garlic: green, lush and overwhelmingly pungent. Foragers have long known of wild garlic, also known as ´ramsons´ or ´ramps´ (Allium ursinum). In 1972 in Food for Free, Richard Mabey noted that ´for those who like their garlic strong, ramsons will prove magnetic´.

Only one of my six children has left New York for economic reasons but the strain of living in this expensive nanny state is weighing heavy on my other five and their families. As a native New Yorker, I´ve seen its middle class population decline over the years due to its neglect of blue collar families which is ironic since this is a Democrat city. With the recent arrests of several local politicians for corruption perhaps New Yorkers will pay more attention to those they put in office. Given their past indifference in local elections this is highly unlikely.

In Philadelphia, at a human abattoir on Lancaster Avenue, is where it ends, not where it starts. It starts with the perversion of language. It starts when the icons of a dissipated culture reduce a baby to a “fetus.” From there, Yeats’s blood-dimmed tide rolls rapidly in. Before long, a baby is not a person but a punishment, as President Barack Obama framed the matter in his familiar off-the-cuff iciness. Of course, to describe newborn children in their boundless possibilities and wonder would be to acknowledge, foremost, their humanity. That is why, instead, abortion enthusiasts must grope for words

LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Winters, the cherub-faced comedian whose breakneck improvisations and misfit characters inspired the likes of Robin Williams and Jim Carrey, has died. He was 87. The Ohio native died Thursday evening at his Montecito, Calif., home of natural causes, said Joe Petro III, a longtime family friend. Petro said Winters died of natural causes and was surrounded by family and friends. Winters was a pioneer of improvisational standup comedy, with an exceptional gift for mimicry, a grab bag of eccentric personalities and a bottomless reservoir of creative energy.

I’ve been writing about media coverage of abortion for many years. And so have many others. If you haven’t read David Shaw’s “Abortion Bias Seeps Into The News,” published in the Los Angeles Times back in 1990, you should. That report also explains why we cover the topic here at GetReligion.But the thing is that I’m getting kind of sick of pointing out egregious bias only to see things not just remain bad but get worse. Just think, in the last year, we saw the media drop any pretense of objectivity and bully the Susan G. Komen Foundation

On Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that 76.3 million PC units shipped during the most recent financial period, marking the biggest decline since the IDC began publishing quarterly numbers 19 years ago. “The reaction to Windows 8 is real,” Jay Chou, an IDC analyst, said to The Wall Street Journal.
