I'm actively resisting seeing him as the closest to a real life The Punisher that perhaps we'll ever have.

Disillusioned ex-military, ex-cop, jacked, intelligent and able to plan an extended one-man war against police. Of course we know the outcome (or do we? X files music), but in real life Frank Castle would end the same way.

But yeah I think you're right. I also remember something like that, although there has been a lot of mythologizing of Dorner and what he did after his (potential) death.

Perhaps I'm also doing that. Oh well, it's kinda fun and funny. It definitely upsets the worst hogs, so, fuck it.
