Are these attacks coordinated? Connected? Seems there is a little too much coincidence here.
Christopher Dorner’s recent crimes, media attention to his manifesto, “Last Resort,” has focused on Mr. Dorner’s description of racism within that police department and on the disturbing madness of his comments. While “racism” and “rambling” are words often tagged to his manifesto, religion, too, is present here, offering an essential vocabulary for Mr. Dorner’s justifications of his crimes. “I lived a good life and though not a religious man I always stuck to my own personal code of ethics, ethos and always stuck to my shoreline and true North,” he writes. While “No one grows up and wants to be a cop killer,” Mr. Dorner insists that his experiences as a police officer viscerally and intuitively “disgusted” him. “I saw some of the most vile things humans can inflict on others” he says of his fellow LAPD officers, people whom he calls “dirtbags” for their gallows humor at crime scenes, or for equating overtime pay with their presence at such scenes. Mr. Dorner argues that no one needs an articulated system of ethics to know that such actions are wrong. Yet Mr. Dorner also mentions Christianity, even while denying association with the religion himself.
“I’m not a … Christian,” he writes, though even “that old book, made of fiction and limited non-fiction, called the Bible,” can be held up as a model of ethics. At the very least, it cannot be used, Mr. Dorner argues, to justify racist behavior. Mr. Dorner’s stance on Christianity (rejection of the institutional church, its theology and history, coupled with respect for a basic ethical teaching advanced by Jesus) parallels stances in two popular African American religious movements, the Moorish Science Temple and the Nation of Islam. As a city cop, Mr. Dorner would surely have been exposed to these religions. A reference in his manifesto to the pun between “Justice” and “Just us” (also popular in Moorish Science and Nation of Islam circles where the pun has specific religious meanings, notably as a secret teaching regarding Jesus and the nature of salvation) stands as evidence of such religious influence.
Like Mr. Dorner, Moors reject the hypocrisy of Christianity but hold that Jesus was himself a dark-skinned Moor and that his gospel was offered as a redeeming ethical message for the pale-faced “European” nations. Along similar lines, Nation of Islam leader Elijah Muhammad portrayed Jesus as an Islamic ethical thinker when he composed his own gospel.
He served in the Marines. He claimed to be a Moor. On Facebook he posted anti police and anti-white views as well as pro Nation of Islam. He claimed he acted alone and did not want association with any group. You will see a connection soon.

How many more?
Sometimes, victims were kidnapped and brought back to safe-houses to be tortured and killed by the entire group, with their bodies afterward dismembered and discarded.
According to the later court testimony, black participants each needed to kill a total of nine white men to be awarded the coveted title of “Death Angel,” earning them the right to have their photos displayed in the Black Muslim meeting halls, while roughly double points were awarded for slaughtering white women or children, on the grounds that such killings were more psychologically difficult. Based on the number of such distinctive homicides—well-dressed black men randomly attacking whites on the street—police officials estimated that there were over 70 such killings throughout California, though based on his extensive research Howard himself believed that the true statewide total may have been close to 270 dead victims.
...
Not only did the Zebra killings represent the greatest instance of racially-motivated killings in modern American history, but the number of victims was quite possibly greater than the combined total for all other such examples over nearly the last 100 years of our history. Based on that reality, the near-absolute media blackout has been quite remarkably Orwellian and deeply disturbing. Prior to the development of the Internet, neither I nor almost anyone else would have ever encountered this important history, and I suspect that if anyone had presented us with the true facts back then, his claims might easily have been dismissed as the ravings of a lunatic.

I spent 12 years in those "boots". Over 7 years total in active combat zones and walked more than a mile. You're wrong.
