Thanks Lauren..... I just got introduced to the Willy Loman and the Sacha Fal site (I think the Loman site is pretty good but cant say what I think about the Fal one.. .looks rather creepy).... I think its because both the Dorner and Hastings incidents happened in my "neck of the woods" I feel more directly impacted by them. I remember driving my LO to daycare on the way to campus when I see every single on ramp with cop cars.. Im like "WTF??" We don't have cable and I guess I missed it when the Christopher Dorner incident began.. Then I got to class and all my students were going on about it. (He apparently was living a couple of blocks from my MIL's).... I find it interesting that there were call for drone strikes to get Dorner. And some conspiracy sites were arguing that Hastings was hit with a drone. Whether or not that is a fact, I think we are slowly being conditioned to accept that the government can assassinate people on American soil with drones. I also think that the Dorner case was about introducing urban guerrilla warfare to American streets (the two women in the truck being shot up by police ...)
