I'm a very fortunate beneficiary of privilege, it's true. It's nice to finally see many of you who've previously blasted social justice terminology actually advance an attempt at a social justice argument, though.

Here are a few questions for you:

1: How many people in America are discriminated against in this country?

2: How many of those people, no matter their circumstances, subsequently resort to killing innocent people to prove the unjust corruption in the system?

Logically speaking, your arguments would give a blank check to anyone who feels oppressed to murder civilians. Now, think this through. Everyone has different definitions of what it means to be 'oppressed.' Many of those definitions are factually inaccurate; there are people in this country who'd believe that gun control regulations would oppress them. Nonetheless, your attitude would support their personal interpretation of that 'oppression' as a right to seek violent retribution.

Lots and lots of people illegitimately lose their jobs and, if they all respond like Dorner did, there'd be lots and lots of workplace shootings.

Even still, there's a huge difference between what Dorner's doing here, and what it'd be like if, for example, oppressed minorities gathered together and declared an armed revolution against privileged institutions. As I said before: Dorner has no ideological agenda. He is NOT seeking reform of the LAPD. He is merely seeking to clear his own name. His manifesto explicitly states this.
