Law Enforcement Sikhs Turbans And Terrorism Video

For more than 35 years I’ve been close to a Sikh family that emigrated from India and continued here. The family name is Singh, which does not provide much information since all Sikhs are named Singh. Sikhs have demonstrated their discipline, bravery and loyalty in various military units throughout the world. I actually met a U.S. Army (Indian born) Sikh drafted just like me in 1969 who was allowed to wear his turban while assigned as a medic. He made sergeant really quick.

Sikhs only make up three percent of the India population and are one of the more peaceful cultures in the world. The men are not supposed shave or cut their hair. They must wear turbans, a bracelet, called a kara and they are also supposed to always carry a dagger called a Kirpan. The Kirpan is in conflict with many weapons laws throughout this country. I’m really not sure why since I’d always trust a Sikh I’ve never met before, any day over a strange American.

I’ve had the great fortune to be a guest in India and have seen much more than American tourists ever do in that emerging and productive country.

The infamous events of 9-11 have brought disgrace on some turbans, but not the Sikh turban. Since the Sikh religion began 600 years ago the Muslims have targeted the Sikhs for murder and torture. Sikhs are truly a kind and peaceful group that deserve our protection and friendship. The Sikh turban is different than those we’ve seen on the heads of Arab terrorists.

The L.A. County Deputy sheriff that arrested Mel Gibson is Jewish

This makes the Gibson’s tantrum story much more understandable. It was Gibson’s angry reaction once he learned he was getting arrested. Nearly every cop in America has been the target of those personal, verbal attacks where the drunk driver throws every insult under the son at us. Deputy James Mee who is Jewish was on the receiving end of Gibson’s offensive rant.

Gibson was and is a big shot in Malibu and as such felt he should be immune from arrest, at least in his own mind. When Gibson was not getting out of being arrested he acted like a spoiled kid. This also explains why this arrest and the conduct was leaked to TMZ.com and published worldwide.

The four pages of Deputy Mee’s report that TMX.com published was obviously designed to make a case for the tabloids rather than the court. The other side of the coin here is that anyone who tries to offend a cop does so at their own peril. It’s fair to say Gibson got what he deserved. Usually the goofs we arrest who pull this crap have nothing to lose and nobody ever cares what they call us. This time it was very different.

Gibson's war of words was directed at one cop, not evry Jew on the planet. That does not make this right but understandable. Gibson was not simply going home but to a jail cell at least for a little while.

Gibson has taken responsibility and profusely apologized for his temper tantrum. I think that Deputy Mee also sees that his anger may have influenced his handling of this arrest. There is no winner here.

The Wrath Of Hollywood Jews Blacklisting And Collateral Damage

Hollywood is the land of dreams. Hopeful writers, actors, producers, and an entire food chain of artist wait sometimes years for a chance to work on a worthwhile film project. ABC had recently green lighted a mini series that revolves around a pair of lovers trapped during the Holocaust.

Some 25 years ago there was another TV mini series called Holocaust that launched the careers of at least two of today’s mega actors, Meryl Streep and James Woods. I personally know too many actors and writers that are on the verge of living in their cars in order to fulfill their dreams of entertaining their fellow man. For the lucky ones, they finally receive an offer for their first big break that they’ve sacrificed so much to win.

Imagine you’ve waited years for your chance and your new project involves actor/director Mel Gibson and ABC cancels your job. Now you won’t get the chance to put food on your table. Apparently that’s exactly what’s happening as ABC exacts retribution against Mel Gibson for his drunken anti-Semitic rant.

I want to ask ABC and Rabbi Marvin Heir, dean and founder of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Jewish human rights group that asked that this project to be cancelled to please reconsider blacklisting Mel Gibson. Why? Because of the collateral damage that will be done to so many other artist’s livelihoods that were intended to work on a meaningful project.

Forgiveness would send a much larger message to the wealthy Gibson and bigots everywhere that blacklisting him while punishing innocent and needy artists can never accomplish. I ask, if being a Jew means that you never have to forgive anyone?

Here is more directly from Mel Gibson: Tue Aug 01 2006 11:10:45 ET

August 2, 2006 -- There is no excuse, nor should there be any tolerance, for anyone who thinks or expresses any kind of Anti-Semitic remark. I want to apologize specifically to everyone in the Jewish community for the vitriolic and harmful words that I said to a law enforcement officer the night I was arrested on a DUI charge.

I am a public person, and when I say something, either articulated and thought out, or blurted out in a moment of insanity, my words carry weight in the public arena. As a result, I must assume personal responsibility for my words and apologize directly to those who have been hurt and offended by those words.

The tenets of what I profess to believe necessitate that I exercise charity and tolerance as a way of life. Every human being is God’s child, and if I wish to honor my God I have to honor his children. But please know from my heart that I am not an anti-Semite. I am not a bigot. Hatred of any kind goes against my faith.

I’m not just asking for forgiveness. I would like to take it one step further, and meet with leaders in the Jewish community, with whom I can have a one on one discussion to discern the appropriate path for healing.

I have begun an ongoing program of recovery and what I am now realizing is that I cannot do it alone. I am in the process of understanding where those vicious words came from during that drunken display, and I am asking the Jewish community, whom I have personally offended, to help me on my journey through recovery. Again, I am reaching out to the Jewish community for its help. I know there will be many in that community who will want nothing to do with me, and that would be understandable. But I pray that that door is not forever closed.

This is not about a film. Nor is it about artistic license. This is about real life and recognizing the consequences hurtful words can have. It’s about existing in harmony in a world that seems to have gone mad.

Jews Police Reports Forgiveness And The Mel Gibson Meltdown

Harvey Levin’s TMZ.com told the story of Mel Gibson’s arrest in Malibu, California by L.A. County Sheriff’s deputies. It was a tale of bigotry and sexism by an admitted alcoholic while under the influence.

The words we say can too often hurt, insult and inflame others. The primary attack here was against Jews. Gibson's suggestion among others was that Jews were the cause of all the wars.

Anti-Semitism is as old as humanity. For some reason Jews have always been singled out for contempt by most other cultures. I’m no expert on this subject by any means but I have an idea for any and all Jews Gibson has offended.

The best way to show Gibson and all those who exhibit hate against the Jews is to take the high road. That is to openly accept Mel Gibson’s apology and show forgiveness for his outrageous conduct. Instead of trashing Gibson show him that Jews can be kind and forgiving. I would hope all Jews would extend their forgiveness, love and help as a real example of their own humanity and teachings.

Having been a cop and after looking over the debacle involved with TMZ’s so-called police report cover-up story angle, I concluded that TMZ assertions are incorrect. I must say that the four pages of a report published by TMZ was not up to normal police reporting standards anywhere in America.

On a DUI arrest officers are simply to establish probable cause for the arrest. That includes the driving behavior that led to the stop, the officer’s observations of the driver’s condition, level of impairment and all sobriety tests performed. Writing pages documenting every goofy thing that the suspect says is never called for unless they are criminal threats that bring additional charges.

If Harvey Levin’s accounts are true that the arresting officer was ordered to re-write his report that was no a cover-up but an effort to make sure the report is up to acceptable police agency standards. I suspect that a very offended officer that wanted to expose Gibson’s drunken statements for additional punishment wrote those published pages of the report. Cooler heads obviously prevailed at the Sheriff’s department.

Remember police reports are to document crimes. Drunk driving is a crime but dumb anti-Semitic rants are not.

Video taping of the suspect’s activities and statements is always proper so that a court and jury can later see for themselves the level of the suspect’s impairment in order to pass judgment.

A side note: Apparently the high profile actor also referred to a lady Sheriff’s sergeant as, “Sugar Tit’s” (please excuse me for grinning here). Why do I suspect that this poor gal will carry that new moniker throughout her entire police career?

My Favorite Elton John Song And Video

This artist’s lifestyle is not my taste at all. The guy is definitely twisted. However nobody can deny that Elton John is a major talent. This song/video was written/performed shortly before the fall of the Bolshevik bastards and the Berlin Wall. The timing was incredible for sure. If you have not heard this or seen this video you’re in for a treat. If you’re old enough to remember this you know it rocks…

Lame Advice Handed To Frightened Phoenix Residents

Phoenix is caught up in a media sensation right now. There are two separate serial killers on the loose. One rapes and sometimes murders women. The other uses a small caliber rifle or pistol and shoots apparent strangers he sees or various animals. In any event your chances to win the lottery are still thankfully greater than becoming a victim of these criminals.

Media reports have put a rapist or sniper behind every bush. Along with the media’s fear mongering, and the requests by Phoenix Chief Jack Harris for residents to be watchful as the gadfly self-defense “experts” have come out of the woodwork. These morons are advising people to use their house keys like a knife and to blow a whistle to deal with an armed killer rapist and the serial sniper. These recommendations are beyond insane and will get people killed.

Simply get proper training and a reliable handgun to carry or go hide under your bed. Otherwise follow the advice of the cop's cop Jack Harris and report suspicious activity to the police. You'll never see Chief Harris giving people bad advice. Jack Harris is what cops call the "Real Police" unlike most bosses.

I’m trying to figure how the unarmed do-gooders from the Guardian Angels can have any effect on these crime patterns by parading around in red berets and white t-shirts. I don’t downplay their potential deterrent role in New York subway cars when no cops are present. Perhaps the sniper can zero in on a red beret in order to get more attention.

Unless the predators stop or go away on their own, this problem can only be solved if these offenders are caught in the act by a citizen or cop armed and trained with a firearm.

The Meat Market Killer offers to help police...

I somehow predicted it would or should come to this. Convicted Meat Market killer, Bill Bradford now wants to help police with the now famous photo leads that languished in boxes for more than two decades before getting deserved attention. However he’s getting the cold shoulder from authorities that perhaps rightfully claim that Bradford’s help would be self-serving.

Bradford is on death row but in Liberal California that’s almost meaningless. His chances of getting executed are almost no better than winning the lottery. So what do the cops have to lose? He may never get the hot needle or when it happens he’ll be too old to feel punished.

The need to gain closure for victim’s families must outweigh the desire to kill Bradford. My God, if the cops won’t I’ll go up to San Quentin and get the information from him myself!

If Bradford has left bodies lying around and can close those cases, the state can save millions in further appeal and trial costs. Bradford through his attorney, Darlene Ricker can agree for him to spend forever behind bars without the death penalty. Bradford is not in Texas where they operate an efficient killing machine.

Trying Bardford for new crimes is truly beating a dead horse. The appeals from the new cases assuming he was convicted would take many more decades and the cost to the financially strapped state would be staggering. Remember taxpayers are picking up the tab for the defense as well as the prosecution. I’m sure the lawyers for both sides would disagree with me what I say it’s like burning huge stacks of money that could take care of children, seniors or help crime victims.

If Bradford can’t put cases to bed then there’s nothing to give him in return. What do we have to lose?

Here's the history to this post.

The Official Crimefile Review of MIAMI VICE

Fellow Chicagoan, Michael Mann took the concept of an elite unit of Drug War soldiers and made a great TV series. The series made fashion, music and art history as the salt and pepper teem of Crockett and Tubbs mixed business with pleasure. The series was pure entertainment despite some of the far-fetched episodes.

I confess to hating the Drug War even more than the blight drugs bring. Without the Drug War the Drug Czars from both sides would have to get honest jobs. Miami Vice is the only good product of this failed war.

The film was great and really far-fetched as the old heroes, now with new faces, those of Collin Farrell and Jamie Foxx. Michael Mann’s shoot-out scenes are as real as they could be. I almost felt the need to duck and grab my own gun! Isabella, played by Li Gong proves to be quite a distraction for the crime fighting, Sonny Crockett.

The cars, boats and planes were as fabulous as you’d expect.

Michael Mann himself wrote the script, and I fully expect at least two sequels from him down the road. Of course, I want a role as a crook or an inept police boss in the next one! Do you hear that Michael? Oh and before you ask, I have a card from The Screen Actor's Guild!

This was worth the price of the ticket and I’ll want to own the DVD when it hits the street.

Great story but a really Lame interview

Last night KNBC-TV did an “exclusive” interview of an ex-wife of serial killer suspect Bill Bradford. That woman is Cindy Horton. Instead of reporter Ross Becker getting the real information he copied the style of Oprah or Jerry Springer. Becker went for the emotions of that failed marriage instead of asking Horton about Bardford’s habits, lifestyle and the other women in his life. The questions Becker could have but never bothered to ask:

Did Bradford ever tell you he killed anyone?

What places did you live together (with at least street intersections).

Did Bradford use drugs?

Did you ever see Bradford victimize anyone else?

Did he ever allow anyone else to victimize you?

Did he involve anyone else in crimes that you knew about?

Do you know any of the other women in the photographs?

There was a telling portion of Horton’s interview when she volunteered to Becker that she was asked by the cops to pretend to be on Bradford’s side and try and get him to incriminate himself. If true, that act by police was absolutely unlawful. Bradford was in custody and as a police agent; Horton had the duty to again inform him of his right to remain silent. If Bradford had a lawyer at the time this would have had an impact on the case itself. Any statements by Bradford to Horton would have been kept from any trial jury. My question to Bill Bardford's appeal lawyer, Darlene Ricker is, would this new information from ex-wife Cindy Horton become yet another appeal issue?

Here’s the KNBC-TV reports and video.

Taking a baby hostage is not a good idea.

I don’t know where this happened but it looks like Europe judging by the Beretta machinegun and the police uniforms. This guy was holding a nasty looking knife on a small child. I think this was a little too risky but it looks like a good result. Warning this video is not suitable for all viewers.

L.A County Sheriff’s Press Conference regarding 54 Photos Of Potential Victims

Here is the unedited and entire 35-minute news conference with questions and answers held on July 25, 2006 at the LASD Homicide office in Commerce, California. This is where the now famous collection 54 photos of women found in convicted killer Bill Bradford’s possession, more than two decades ago were unveiled.

Is Bill Bradford an incredibly prolific, serial killer who stalked his victims in the West Side L.A. meat markets from 1975 through 1984? As of today at least half of the women depicted in Bradford’s photo collection are now purported to be alive and well.

Why am I somehow convinced that some of these women in the photographs are even on Bill Bradford’s visiting and pen pal lists at San Quentin? Stay tuned…

The women’s photos are here

This Cop is really in the doghouse!

I’m talking about the four-legged cop. Somehow I suspect that pup knows something about that cop he’s biting that we don’t. Over the years I’ve learned to trust the judgment of our K-9 friends.

When A Prosecution Expert Witness Lies Under Oath To A Jury…

A life without parole sentence stemming from a guilty verdict against Andrea Yates for drowning her own five sons was overturned because a government expert witness lied under oath. The request for new trial could have gone either way but for a fair-minded ruling that gave this case to a new and untainted Houston, Texas jury.

The second verdict speaks for itself. I can’t imagine anybody thinking what Andrea Yates did was not a clear and solid sign of total madness. The poor woman was bonkers and being punished for what she had no control over. Justice was done today. Get well Andrea.

As for the perjuring expert witness, when will his perjury prosecution begin?

Who Is In Prison Today For This Man’s Crimes?

I can’t help but believe that languishing in some prison death row cell an innocent boyfriend, husband or admirer of a woman murdered by handyman and photographer Bill Bradford. Bradford toured the country in his Pace Arrow motor home killing women along the way. Bradford reportedly told the jury during the penalty hearing portion of his last trial, “Think how many you don’t even know about.”

Here is the very latest!

Meet the L.A. Meat Market Killer.

An unassuming young man toured California, Oregon, Texas, Illinois, Florida, Kansas, Michigan, Louisiana and all points in between. Our boy traveled in a Pace Arrow motor home and rode on a Harley Davidson motorcycle. His local California fashionable haunts were alive with pretty women dancing to disco music. The Pink Elephant and Burning Tree-Chestnut Room bars in Santa Monica were loaded with women seeking their dream of an entertainment career. What some of the ladies found made Mr. Goodbar seem in hindsight like Mr. Right.

William “Bill” Bradford was a freelance photographer and handyman with a special talent to meet, photograph pretty women and get them to shed their clothes. They’d pose in sexual positions sometimes with other strange men as Bradford snapped the pictures. Soon the unfortunate women would be found raped and strangled or simply disappear.

This was all going on before DNA profiles and the data advances of computers to sort information. 1975 through 1984 brought on a spree by what may now be the record holding serial killer.

Today Bradford is 60-years old and safely behind bars for nearly a quarter century on Death Row in San Quentin for the murders of Shari Miller, 21 and Tracy Campbell, 15. One body was dumped in an L.A. parking lot and the other in a Northern county desert area. There’s no rush to bring Bradford to Justice since he’s more likely to die of old age than a lethal injection in the California criminal justice system.

To date L.A. County Sheriff’s detectives claim to have three solid new cases and are soon to solve more. Detective Dickie Adams retired only to find himself brought back to work on cold cases. Adams soon discovered all the photographs and loose ends in the Bradford file. Noting advances in data collection and DNA he dusted off boxes of evidence and spent nearly a month to bring us to today’s revelations.

The other jurisdictions where Bradford spent time have yet to be notified this early in the current investigation. There’s certainly no rush to do more than figure out who these women are and where the bones are buried. Bringing closure to victim’s families seems to be the only real mission now.

Since Bradford is going to die of old age and the new cases have not even begun it would make more sense to make a deal with Bradford getting him off of Death Row in exchange for cooperation from the man who told the members of his jury that they had no idea how many more victims are out there.

In each and every case considered solved the victim’s end began in a trendy hot meat market.

54 Women Murdered On The West Side Of L.A. And Nobody Noticed?

Breaking News

The women disappeared from 1975 and 1984 from Santa Monica, Culver City,West Los Angeles and Venice.

Right now L.A. County Sheriff’s detectives are being tight lipped about the crimes other than to say the investigation got a kick start tip pointing to convicted killer of two women and Death Row inmate William Richard Bradford, 60. Apparently Bradford kept a photo collection of his victims that’s been located.

Bradford must have been very creative in disposing of the remains of his victims. Polce believe he disposed of them in Northern Los Angeles County. Look for a press conference today at 3:30 PM where more details will be released. The information is being released because police hope to learn more information from the public to identify and locate the women in Bradford's photographs.

If these women were in fact murdered by a single killer he’d hold the record for any serial murderer in the United States.

Here is information and photographs of the victims...

Technical Virgin Fired from PBS Kid's Series

Young Kid’s TV show host Melanie Martinez was fired in a New York second after telling her employer of two-spoof videos she had done as the www.technicalvirgin.com virgin.

The show she hosted for PBS is called, "The Good Night Show" designed to get toddlers ready for bedtime.

"PBS Kids Sprout has determined that the dialogue in this video is inappropriate for her role as a preschool program host and may undermine her character's credibility with our audience," said Sandy Wax, network president.

You never know what can destroy a career. Sit back and relax as you watch both of these exciting video shorts that was a really bad idea.

Ass Kissing Award of the Week

Washington DC-- On July 10 police commander Andy Solberg spoke to residents who had gathered to express concern about the slaying of Alan Senitt.
That sounds simple enough right? It was until Solberg spoke frankly about yet another horrible murder in the Murder Capital of The United States.

A White campaign worker Alan Senitt, 27, for former Virginia Gov. Mark R. Warner was robbed and had his throat slashed as he and a female companion returned from a movie. Police said the attackers then attempted to rape Senitt’s companion in the upscale Georgetown area.

Who could guess the race of the killers? Deadly senseless violence in Washington DC is nearly the exclusive province of African Americans.

I can’t and won’t apologize for that sad truth. We can argue about the social issues but that’s not going to change the fact that African Americans are behind nearly all the bloodshed and mayhem in our nations capitol. Of course the African Americans thugs don’t let their own neighborhood boundaries stop them from better pickings in nearby fashionable Georgetown.

THE QUOTE:
The good police commander had a lapse of the reality of overly sensitive residents of The Murder City. He let this quote pass his lips: "I would think that at 2 o'clock in the morning on the streets of Georgetown, a group of three people one of whom is 15 years old, one of whom is a bald chunky fat guy are going to stand out. They were black. This is not a racial thing to say that black people are unusual in Georgetown. This is a fact of life."

Police Chief Charles H. Ramsey reassigned but today reinstated Solberg after taking "corrective action.". That corrective action included the offending police commander’s big smooch on the asses of the overly sensitive African-Americans.

So now we have yet another quote from the hapless commander, "I was wrong, the remarks were insensitive, and I have learned a lot in the past few weeks," he said Monday. "Anything like this should certainly give rise to some serious self-examination ... and I'm doing that."

He learned all right! Solberg learned how to kiss overly sensitive African-American asses really well.
