When You Lay Down With Dogs You Wake Up With Fleas


What would possess a woman to husband shop at the Illinois Department of Corrections? What woman would expose a young boy to a dangerous criminal in her own household?

The answer is Julia Hudson whose mother and brother were shot dead in what Chicago police have described as an act of domestic violence. Hudson brought a terrible plague upon her family and neighborhood.

An additional heartbreak is the apparent abduction of Hudson’s seven year-old son, Julian King. Young King is the only known witness to the killings and it’s highly unlikely that he was allowed to live knowing what he knew.

A violent man convicted of Carjacking and attempted murder generally does not make the most eligible bachelor list. That did not prevent Julia Hudson from endangering her own family by bringing a predatory creep into her family’s home.

One family member who escaped the carnage was the gifted singer and Academy Award winning actress, Jennifer Hudson. Jennifer Hudson had already moved to a much safer, Near North Chicago high rise apartment building.

William “Flex” Balfour has not been charged with this new high profile crime so far. Balfour should have served at least triple the time he got for his last despicable act of violence. Illinois residents should be mad that this mutt was allowed to return to the streets.

Illinois and Chicago politicians Mayor Richard M. Daley and Barack Obama think the cure for violent crimes like this is gun control. Keeping criminals like William “Flex” Balfour behind bars will do a lot more than any gun law. This is precisely why today Chicago is the Murder Capitol of America.

There are some difficult lessons to learn here both for women who like bad boys and American politicians entrusted with lawmaking.

There is no question that Balfour is the leading suspect here. If Balfour was left behind bars for his last terrorist act we would not be suspecting him for the new crimes and presuming his innocence under our laws.

If there is good news it's that Balfour is about to be returned to prison for violating his parole. They can keep him locked up until next May with no new charges.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
