There is no reason for a military air force base to be in Las Vegas. Or in any landlocked or non-border area.

The air force bases should be on the coast and/or border areas.

There is also no reason for a military "Fort" to be in the middle of the United States. What is it's purpose? Pretty sure that there aren't any more rogue Indian tribes out there anymore.
And if you have men and equipment in a fort in Colorado...it just takes more time and money to transport everything when and if you are going to war.

Shouldn't that be on the coast somewhere...or a border state? Unless it's there precisely for a "just in case we have to use it against our own citizens" reason?

I'm not claiming that is the case...just pointing out that to me it doesn't make sense. And with our govt.'s history I wouldn't put anything past them.

Just look at what they did in the "Tuskegee Experiment" for instance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuskege...lis_experiment

Or what they did at Ruby Ridge and Waco and God only knows how many other things they've pulled without our knowledge (For instance the CIA selling cocaine in the 1980's to fund illegal military actions in Nicaragua).

Nope...I have a good healthy dose of distrust for power hungry politicians. Just my personal opinion, nothing more.

It will be a small group hunting them, just like every other manhunt has been in the past.

I'm glad they did get him eventually, however, my entire point was that it was complete overkill to respond in the manner they did. Did they really need to go inside people's homes without warrants? Couldn't they have just asked the home owners if anyone was inside or not? It is this sort of thing that makes me shake my head in shame, as this sort of activity is OK, accepted, and defended now. Safety over privacy and person rights. Boggles the mind.



What's the final death toll? However many it is, it did not call for that response.



The Christopher Dorner manhunt was in 2 countries, the State of California, and in the mountains of Big Bear. They did it with 200 officers.
