Listen Now: Dan Taberski’s Manifesto
Summary
Host Dan Taberski introduces the podcast "Manifesto" by recounting the 2013 murders of Keith Lawrence and Monica Kwan by former LAPD officer Christopher Dorner. The episode explores Dorner’s 11-page Facebook manifesto, which implicated him in the killings and signaled further threats. Taberski connects this violent act to the broader concept of manifestos as tools for channeling rage, citing the Black Panther Party’s Ten Point Program as a historical example of how such documents can spark societal change.
