Los Angeles, CA —There is no shortage of radical Muslims living in the City of Angels .   Planning a bombing and firearms attack here would be incredibly easy for those determined fanatics. Instead of backpacks bombs and weapons could be brought in without notice using large shopping bags from popular retailers. Imagine how the untrained and unarmed mall guards would be running for their lives rather than confront attackers.   Gun laws in Los Angeles insure that there will not be any armed resistance to any deadly attacks.   There are lots of surveillance cameras and someone will make the necessary 911 call.   Will the response be similar to the stunning failure of the Jefferson County, CO Sheriff’s Department during the Columbine High School Massacre ? The question will be how many people with be shot, stabbed, burned with gasoline or blown up by bombs before any armed resistance begins?    The answer is to expect a majo...

Los Angeles, CA —Recently a UCLA student and water polo athlete, Hokop Kaplanyan was arrested on April 2 2013 after being accused of raping a coed in a residence hall.   The school suspended Kaplanyan after his arrest. Since the arrest the actual charge/s were not filed and Kaplanyan was released.  The matter is currently under review by both prosecutors and UCLA officials. Kaplanyan had insisted that he was dating the alleged victim and they had consensual sex.  The coed has so far avoided any media attention.  Kaplanyan’s lawyer Berc Agopoglu , used Facebook to say thet the suspension would be appealed and that his client was innocent suggesting that he’d prevail at clearing him.  Soon a group of eleven of Kaplanyan’s friends took to YouTube and posted a video of support for him.  One thing for sure the allegation is serious and may be difficult to prove.  Under our system of justice it will take more than the...

Boston, MA —The cowardly bombing of innocents here brought out the worst and best human behaviors putting them in the spotlight. We now seem to know what happened in that two young, male Muslim Jihadists used IED bombs against innocent men, women and children near the finish line of the 26-mile race. Despite real danger many fine men and women risked their lives to aid those who had their limbs blown off at the scene.   The medical community rallied to save all the lives and limbs they could.   The law enforcement community banded together identifying, locating and capturing suspects.   We really don’t know the extent of this sleeper cell of terrorists that carried out this horrible act.   We may soon learn more from the four surviving suspects taken into custody along with the items and computers seized by police. Terrorism by nature consists of random violent acts against soft targets.   Pretend preventive measures like TSA airline passe...

Tempe, AZ —Tempe criminal lawyer, Joseph Palmisano , 48 is being held for Kidnapping, Attempted Murder and Aggravated Assault today.  Apparently the lawyer’s secretary’s former boyfriend, Ryan Hall , 25 was at the law office when something went terribly wrong. Hall was conscious and talking to paramedics and police and is being treated at a local hospital where he was listed in serious condition.   Somehow this case has the familiar impression of self-defense.   It’s unlikely that the lawyer talked to police because of his training and experience.   With only one participant talking to police, cops can be counted upon to label the loser of the battle the victim as the arrest the winner as the suspect.   We will have to see how this case shakes out but the defense investigation was made for the best self defense specialist private investigator I know at www.selfdefensrpi.blogspot.com www.selfdefensepi.blogspot.com to find the necessary answers. Okay...

Boston, MA —Times are changing faster than even the news productions experts could imagine.  Ordinary people are carrying smart phones and sophisticated cameras that can even upload instantly to sites like UStream .  Yesterday the bombing was covered from nearly every conceivable angle by hundreds of cameras shooting high-resolution images.  These images undoubtedly captured the criminals responsible for this mad and cruel act. There were numerous mainstream photojournalists on the scene shooting but for few if any live broadcast cameras their images were not broadcast or published until they were first transmitted to their electronic news gathering hubs for redistribution. Some people were uploading still and video images to Internet sites as they were actually happening.  One thing for sure the world will not have to guess what happened because of the massive presence of cameras.  Courts and the jury will also see many of these images as critical e...
