Charlie Brooker - Christopher Dorner Story

Another excelllent analysis of the news coverage of yet more murders. I almost feel guilty for getting any sort of entertainment out of these stories.

Watch, laugh and cry just a lil.

I don't think anything here can rightly be called "comedy", even *dark comedy. It is a decent critique of the typically ridiculous american *news coverage from a *british perspective of the *death of a former *law enforcement officer at the hands of his former colleagues.

But Charlie did get one thing wrong. This isn't a story we (americans) have seen a hundred times before. This wasn't the same as some nutter letting loose in a movie theater or school. This was a man who despite being clearly disturbed focused his violent outburst on those whom he felt had personally wronged him and whom he believed (and many americans believe) are corrupt to the core. I'm not trying to justify or condone what Dorner did, but I think the public's reaction to him is very different than to any previous high profile "shooter".

This video has been removed from all channels (British, Comedy, News) due to invalid channel assignment - nochannel invoked by jonny. Please review the FAQ to learn about appropriate channel assignments.

Adding video to channels (British, Dark, Death, Law, News) - requested by jonny.

...it could go 33 different ways, always gonna be pay-as-you-go
