On the front pages we are accustomed to seeing the spectacle of top US politicos debating the merits of torture.
Or the merits of annihilating "enemies", American and otherwise, uncharged, untried, with a Hellfire missile fired by remote control from the other side of the world.
The global architects of death and destruction now share the front page with Chris Dorner. Dorner is the former LA cop who has declared a one man war on the LAPD.
This is playing out in the media as just the latest "crazy guy with a gun" story.
It's much more than that, although it's not up to me to determine his level of craziness.
He's got a manifesto out there. It's worth a look.
If the barrios and the ghettos don't rise up to support him this time around, eventually they will rise up and support the next Chris Dorner, or the one after that.
But eventually they will rise up. Against the LAPD and against the entire infrastructure of exploitation and oppression that has kept the poor poor and the rich getting richer.
