“’It’s an integrity thing,’ Chris Dorner told Enid News and Eagle. ‘I didn’t work for it, so it’s not mine. And it was for the church.’”
The military stresses integrity. It is apparently a lesson learned well by two Vance Air Force Base students.
An Enid church is a little richer today thanks to the integrity of Lt. Andrew Baugher, a Marine student at Vance, and Ensign Chris Dorner, a Navy student pilot.
The two were driving into Enid Sunday afternoon when they spotted a bank bag in the middle of the road.
After turning around, they picked up the bag and found it contained nearly $8,000. They promptly took the bag to the Enid Police Department.
Suspected LAPD Killer Found $8,000 And Returned It To An Oklahoma Church In 2002
The money belongs to Enid Korean Church of Grace, 724 W. Randolph, and the bag contained $7,792 in cash and checks.
“I thought it was a wallet. We turned around and found it was a bank envelope,” Baugher said. “We opened it and found plenty of cash in there.”
Baugher said the pair did not know if the money was lost or stolen, but took it to the police department.
“I thought it was a piece of cardboard,” Dorner said. “When we passed it I thought it was a large purse and turned around.”
When the two opened the envelope, they saw the checks and the church’s deposit slip.
Not everyone would have returned the money, but Baugher and Dorner said “it’s an integrity thing.”
Both were taught honest as children, and integrity is stressed in their military training.
Baugher grew up in Ankeny, Iowa, a small town north of Des Moines, and was raised in a church.
Dorner was raised by his mother in La Palma, Calif., in Orange County. Both men learned the value of honesty as they were raised.
“It was just the right thing to do,” Baugher said. “I have loan payments it could have taken care of.”
Baugher said he learned the pastor of the church had placed the bag on top of his car and it fell off.
Baugher, a Marine, is a member of the Joint Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training program at Vance. He hopes to fly an F-18. Dorner, a Navy officer, hopes to fly SH-60 helicopters used for search and rescue and in special operations.
“The military stresses integrity,” Dorner said. “There was a couple of thousand dollars, and if people are willing to give that to a church, it must be pretty important to them.”
He said it was “a little scary” having that much money in front of him.
Dorner said his mother taught him honesty and integrity.
“I didn’t work for it, so it’s not mine. And it was for the church,” he said. “It’s not so much the integrity, but it was someone else’s money. I would hope someone would do that for me.”
Both students received telephone calls Sunday evening from a church member, whose name they could not understand.
One phrase they did hear was, “God bless you. Thank you.”

There are so many inconsistencies on both sides its scary!!
The police say they are innocent but open fire on him as to cover something up (suspicious on many levels.) In his manifesto he says he needs to “do this” but argues that there should have been *tougher gun laws* to prevent him from obtaining his weapons (suspicious on many levels.)
I’m sorry but after reading news articles (for whatever that’s worth), listening to media outlets, reading his manifesto, and **THINKING** a little these statements just stood out to me from “his own mouth”:
1.) “…the US government which I fully support 100%”
2.) “.. Who in there right mind needs a fucking silencer!!! who needs a freaking SBR AR15? No one…. an assault weapons ban needs to be re-instituted. Period!… Gun control is no longer debatable…its a moral mandate.”
3.) “Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough, Pat Harvey, Brian Williams, Soledad Obrien, Wolf Blitzer, Meredith Viera, Tavis Smiley, and Anderson Cooper, keep up the great work…”
Here are my concerns regarding his manifesto:
1.) if he is as “tactical, trained, and deadly” as he professes, why would he make himself a target? He wasn’t a suspect until the manifesto he posted! He would have been more successful if he remained anonymous! ****RED FLAG****
2.) How can he OPPOSE the LAPD for promoting and advancing individuals rank & prestige within the department known for racism and excessive force, yet SUPPORT the US government when they knowingly hired former Nazi scientist directly after WWII & he himself admits to having to take up for a guy bullied by ‘Nazi related taunts’. Also, it is undisputed that well renowned racist were hired to some of the most prominent positions following the civil war. I’M NOT BASHING THE GOVERNMENT, JUST POINTING OUT HIS INCONSISTENCIES!! The LAPD is just a much smaller fraction and replicate of the US government overall. They stated there are “pockets of opportunity…but overall progress” and I believe the same for the government! ****RED FLAG****
3.) He stated he tried to do everything the legal way in courts and appeals, so THIS IS HIS ONLY WAY, i.e., killing. Yet he argues that there should be tougher gun laws. Well if there were tougher laws, he would not have been able to “clear his name,” nor take actions he deem “necessary.” Not to mention if someone wanted to take the law into their own hand “Following his not-so-exceptional lead” in another department e.g., NYPD, they would not have the means to “purify” the department to uphold justice. ****RED FLAG****
4.) Everyone knows the media outlets where we receive our “news” are full of biases, overly opinionated, bashing, often bigoted, and proven to be untrustworthy often pitting races against each other (in my opinion they also keep racism alive and well). Don’t say “great work” to these fuckers who only seek self-confirming reports, ‘experts’, analysis, and guests… ****RED FLAG****
I don’t want to offend anyone’s belief, or national patriotism, I merely wanted to state “facts” and “my opinion” of them. Please be kind with the comments. 🙂 thanks!!
