*Christopher Dorner, the ex-LAPD officer who’s the subject of a manhunt by authorities for the murders of 3 people, including a police officer, has begun to attract fans via social media.
a small, but growing segment of the online community is cheering him, referring to him as the “the black Rambo” and “the black Jason Bourne.”
So far over two dozen pages Facebook pages have sprung up. Some urging his capture and killing and some praising Dorner and his 11,000-word manifesto that alleges LAPD corruption and weaves in pop culture references and shout outs to celebrities like Charlie Sheen, Anthony Bourdain and Tim Tebow.
One page even declared “Christopher Dorner for President.”
“This page is putting forth the proposal that we the people elect Christopher Jordan Dorner as president of the United States of America. This man has done what the founding fathers did, in declaring war on the corrupt ruling class. We propose electing a man who could no longer sit idly by and watch as malicious tyrants abuse the innocent,” the community page stated.
Among the most popular of the fan pages is “I Support Christopher Jordan Dorner,” which had close to 2,000 “likes” by 3:30 p.m. Friday.
The supporter, who wisely declined to be identified, said he does not know Dorner, and his support is not for Dorner’s actions, but his cause.
“I don’t condone the acts of killing people, but I was going to try to spin it in a way that people can actually learn from him,” he told the LA Daily News during a phone interview. “It’s a perfect story about a person who wanted to just do the right thing but couldn’t catch a break. Maybe if enough people talk about it, hear it, see it, maybe some change can come out of it.”
Meanwhile, Dorner’s own official Facebook page was deactivated Thursday. Facebook officials said they do not comment on ongoing investigations but provided this statement:
“We work with law enforcement to the extent required by law, and as needed to keep the site and those who use it safe. We always seek to respond promptly to requests when we deem there’s an immediate risk to the safety of any our users.”

this guy is sick and anyone that supports him is too
armed and mobile? dear Lord, I hope they find him . . . .Fans? folks are sick.
He killed Monica Quan, the Cal State Fullerton assistant basketball coach along with her fiance, Keith Lawrence. Two young people starting their lives together. Are you serious? Fans?
The LAPD kill innocent people everyday, but I guess that’s okay. As long as he ridding the department of corrupt cops I say go for it Dorner. Capitan Quan chose to unjustly terminate Dorner’s quest to remove another corrupt cop using excessive force against a mentally retarded citizen. His daughter & her fiancé unfortunately were both collateral damage. I hope they never catch this guy.
Of course folks are going to root for someone who is giving the pigs a taste of their own medicine. I don’t like the implications though, of it being a black man. Back when I read his manifesto, I didn’t even know what was going on. I was assuming that for once we had someone who the corrupt establishment media couldn’t ignore and paint as just another nut case. He was doing very well presenting the corruption endemic in the LAPD and all law enforcement for that matter, including the feds. But he lost me with his tactics of going after the family members. Yeah, I agree that’s probably the most potent way you could hurt the pigs. But if you want to really bring down Babylon, you need to present a deluge of incriminating evidence. He had the perfect opportunity, being in the belly of the beast for all those years. Every day he should be on a mission to video tape all the police misconduct and brutality. Then upload it to the internet since MSM can never be relied on to do the right thing.
I hope there are no more innocent bystanders, but I’m interested to see how his tit for tat with Jake will progress.
There is more to this story than what the media is portraying to us! I pray for the families affected by his rampage – but his manifesto is really compelling and casts a dimmer light on LAPD and it’s cronies!!!
