You can pipe in smoke.
Smoke doesn't cause cabins to explode into flames.
Gasoline does. Flash grenades do.

Yeah, right. If "under control" means burnt to the foundation. Really, really sad they never intended to let Dorner have a trial.edit on 2/12/2013 by Olivine because: (no reason given)
Just going to add this, as I've seen too many "of course they weren't going to give him a trial" types of comments everywhere.
It seems he didn't want a trial himself. Barricading himself in the house like he did, shooting at them, killing them... he was asking to be killed one way or another. If he wanted a trial he could have had one. He could have not shot at them every chance he got. He could have surrendered in a public place. I guarantee he would have had a trial if he didn't, at every turn, fire at officers.
And don't take this as full support for the police. This is just directed towards the whole "he would never have a trial" statement. I'm not saying the police, especially the LAPD, are perfect.

How did the hostages magically get free if they barricaded the cabin?

I agree. The police are terribly hypocritical throughout this case.
Nothing like a public execution right before the State of The Union, which can be summed up in one word.
Pathetic.

If we're going into that terrain... I have no problem with the fire being deliberate - and fully expecting that this fact will be lied about from this point forward.
What is troubling is that it seems now anything that happens - even nutjobs on shooting sprees - are seen by an increasing number of people as staged false flag events. I'm nearly 50 myself and have lived long enough to know that some people simply do really stupid and horrible things for no apparent reason. But I have never before lived in a world where so many people seem to have a desire to see a mass murderer as a hero.

Well what do you think reporters are going to do? They know who patrols the streets where they live, the parking lots where they work, their childrens' schools...
