    Buddy with the camper best get down to the local store and purchase a lottery ticket or two.............Not sure how smart it would be to go camping right in the middle of that circus. Guess he figured "Heck, ain't nothing gonna happen to me".................

    I hope the cops deliver the justice that the courts couldn't...or wouldn't.

    The crimes just continued with him. Shooting at a camper. It is a wonder someone wasn't hurt then. He sealed his own fate. I feel very sorry for the officer who had to shoot him. That is not easily resolved in your mind. I recall a lot of bullets and rocket when I was in Viet Nam. I was a medic so never shot anyone, but the violent events stay with you.

    He gets $75,000 of the $150,000 reward according to the news this morning, worth the camping trip?

    Why only half? It's a nice reward, but what the hell? Sop for the .gov if you don't drag 'em in in cuffs yourself?

    Here are the routes they closed off yesterday.
    Following Matt’s death, law enforcement set up a perimeter, closing off state Route 30 and Studley Hill Road between county routes 41 and 26 as well as those two routes.

    I wonder if you have to pay taxes on reward money?

    No doubt, I believe that is a state reward and the feds want their cut too.

    The answer is yes http://www.rhlaw.com/blog/christopher-dorner-reward-tax-implications/

    "Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) § 61 defines gross income as income from whatever source derived. IRC § 74 provides generally all prizes and awards are gross income unless it’s: (i) a qualified scholarship or (ii) transferred to a charity. The charity exception includes additional requirements such as: (i) the prize or award is in recognition of religious, charitable, scientific, educational, artistic, literary, or civic achievement; (ii) the recipient did not have to perform services; and (iii) the recipient was selected without any action on his or her part.
    The current IRC definition of gross income is the result of the 1955 seminal case, Commissioner of Internal Revenue v. Glenshaw Glass Co., in which the Supreme Court held a taxpayer has gross income when he has “an accession to wealth, clearly realized, and over which the taxpayers have complete dominion.” Thus the inclusion of reward money in the definition of gross income clearly fits within the rubric of Glenshaw Glass; a recipient has an accession to wealth by receipt of the reward."

    He can deduct the damages to the trailer and fuel&supplies for the trip may lower the burden a bit

    Haven't heard any update on the search, but I can imagine that the weather coming in will make it that much more difficult.
