If so, it would be pretty typical - so many of these mass killers end up shooting themselves.

You have been on this planet 60 years(if I remember correctly) and you must know there exists unwritten codes/laws within law enforcement. I have no proof, obviously, but there is no way Big D. would have ever left that cabin alive, period. Without proof once again, I firmly believe Dorner---being in law enforcement-- knew damn well what his fate would have been had he stepped out of that cabin. Police would have shot him him down in a retaliatory move for taking out 2 or 3 of their guys.

The guy lost any right to walk on this planet when he killed two people who had no involvement in his situation... just because Dorner knew killing them would hurt the woman's father more than if he killed the father who he actually had the grudge against. I would have been fine with it if Obama had given them permission to go after Dorner with a drone.

As the Jack Nicholson's Joker said to the man he just burnt to a crisp with a electrical device hidden in his handshake: "I'm glad you're dead, hahaaha"
