Crimefile’s WIND Radio interview in Chicago on Gun Rights


Chicago, IL—In light of the Supreme Court decision on the McDonald case that struck down this city’s 28 year-old gun ban, I was a guest on Big John Howell and Amy Jacobson’s drive time radio show.

It was a fast moving half-hour show. You can listen to it here.

Good job on the radio Paul. I wish you would have stayed on when the callers were on.
It was amazing I was on that show as long as I was. Big John’s style is to only get a pinch of information and shut down the guest to make way for his callers.

I don’t fault him for that since it’s his show and it seems to work for him and the station that employs him. He is like many other show hosts covering the very active drive time. During other time slots, radio pines for callers.

Your Right. I used to listen when he was working with Cisco Cotto. Cisco would shame him into admitting he was wrong (as he usually was). Amy needs to wear him down more. Big John is not a bad guy, just drinks the Democratic Kool Aid too much.

Paul you represented yourself well and related some valuable information to the public there. I don’t think too highly of that guy John Howell at WIND since the disgusting why he treated retired Sgt. John Northen during an interview relative to CDP Superintendent Jody “JFled” Weis fleeing a shooting scene. The opinion Howell voiced during your interview was certainly absurd that everyone wronged by the cities gun ban should let bygones be bygones. What is to deter the city from future civil rights violations if there is no penalty for their actions ? Howell doesn’t seem to have any common sense and I agree with the other poster that he drinks far too much of the Democratic Kool-Aid.

You mentioned in your interview how the Supreme Court ruled that criminals don’t have to register their guns. Maybe that could be an effective affirmative defense against a charge under the present illegal ordinance, say you’re a criminal and therefore exempt. Let them prove otherwise, you won’t have to prove anything yourself because to do so would be compelling you to incriminate yourself. I wouldn’t want to be the first one to try it, but food for thought isn’t it.

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...
