The Brittany Spears Meltdown Is Complete!

Marriage and motherhood has taken its toll on Spears who will soon never have to complain about paparazzi cameras chasing here around anymore. Her young husband, Kevin Federline has insured her quick retirement from show business with this videotaped offering of their private moments.

Airline Security Insanity Must End.

Political correctness and ethnic sensitivities protects nobody from terrorists.

We are at war. The only threat comes from those we are at war with. Our enemies are Arab Muslims. To deal with this very real threat they sent in the clowns when we needed the cops.

We train the inflexible TSA clowns to disregard reality to make sure every airline passenger suffers the terrorist treatment not just the usual suspects. We allow the TSA clowns to waste time, effort and money as they treat Americans like the enemy terrorists. We just don’t have our eyes on the ball here.

The only effective security we can maintain is through profiling by professional, trained and equipped law enforcement officers. The non-law enforcement, TSA clowns we hired will never be up to the task.

Additionally we must allow trained and sworn police officers to travel with their firearms. We should encourage them with free flights or flights and greatly reduced fares.

We have never put in place an armed gauntlet of cops to deal with any group of armed terrorists that dare invade our airports. What we have in place could never stop a group of 12 well-trained and armed men on a suicide mission.

We are too busy frisking our fellow Americans to deal with the real threat from Arab Muslims.

We need help, but don’t send in the clowns… Send in the cops!

The Official Crimefile Review of World Trade Center

Frankly, I could not imagine a two-hour feature film telling the story of 9/11. That was just not possible. Screenwriter, Andrea Berloff and director Oliver Stone told a compelling story. A difficult feat since the whole world knows what happened and how this ended. I expected the NYPD and NYFD folks to be skeptical of this project’s resemblance to reality.

New York is a magical place, with its great restaurants, fabulous non-stop entertainment and character. The Wall Street area where the WTC stood is like no other place on Earth. I’d been there before and since the destruction of the towers. The buildings were nothing short of majestic.

In one scene they used the unique fence around the historic St. Paul’s Chapel that still contains George Washington’s special pew. Alexander Hamilton is buried in the adjacent cemetery. During the rescue and recovery operation that was where the cops, firemen and other recovery workers ate and slept for many months. The walls inside were covered with cards and letters from, cops, firemen and children sent from all over the world. That fence was also where photos of lost loved ones and memorial material to the known dead were part of a heartbreaking display.

There are millions of stories that surround 9/11 and the thousands killed and maimed. Families were destroyed and the lives that were not snuffed out were changed forever. I’m sure that the stories of the other dead heroes were no less compelling for making a movie.

This film was about two New York Port Authority cops, John McLoughlin and William Jimeno along with their families. These folks lived the horror that most of us watched on continuous TV news coverage.

The film is a must see. The actors were wonderful with all of them carrying their weight. Maria Bello, Nicholas Cage, Michael Pena and Maggie Gyllenhaal gave Oscar caliber performances. They made this film all too real. Oliver Stone and his crew made the words on the paper script come alive. I expect that the nominations will be many here.

Yes, be sure to bring the Kleenex tissues when you go to see this one.

It was about a year ago on a Sunday afternoon that I went to Jerry’s Delicatessen in Marina Del Rey. There I met the beautiful Maria Belo, who plays John McLoughlin's wife, her boyfriend, Dan McDermott and their good friend actress, Camryn Manheim. I was minding my own business eating my pastrami sandwich when Maria and Dan’s little boy slung a spoon full of strained carrots that hit me in the head! Maria and Camryn all but gave me a shampoo and blow dry getting the mess out of my hair. We all had a good laugh. Sadly, I only recognized Camryn although Maria looked familiar. Soon I was able to chat with Maria and Camryn at a function of the Screen Actor’s Guild.

See the trailer here.

Buy A Private Jet While You Still Can.


This will be the only way you can get around the TSA silliness. Three and four hours added to each way to every flight along with unprecedented aggravations from the low wattage TSA folks who are now in siege mode. I don’t expect things to improve.

I anticipate and huge increase in corporate sales of jets and planes. There’s also a rosy picture for pilots and crewmembers needed to haul the wealthy around so they can avoid the perils of the unwashed flying the unfriendly skies.

In the meantime I will do my best to stay of airplanes. I am not afraid of the terrorists; I simply refuse to put up with the indignity and abuse the TSA will put me through.

CNN has reported American passengers crying during their commercial flights today and clapping once their flight landed safely. That's so pathetic and a sign of how cowardly we’ve become. I’m starting to be ashamed to be an American anymore.

TSA Is In A State Of Siege Today.

My pity goes out to anyone who has to fly today. The TSA will be in NASTY MODE as they ransack your luggage and belongings like Viking warriors. Self-importance of the little airport Nazis will be in overdrive in response to the latest sensational United Kingdom terrorist plot. Why do I fear the TSA screening gauntlet more than any terrorist?

Expect the body cavity searchers to begin. Do you know how much explosive can be carried in human body cavities? The answer for those that don’t know, enough explosives to bring down a 747 can be hidden inside any woman.

At Least This Inmate Won’t Be In Charge Of The Asylum Anymore…

I’m pleased to report that Cynthia McKinney won’t be recording votes in the halls on Congress anymore. She was and is clearly a nut job that needed to be removed from the public payroll. As Gladys Knight sings, "She’s leaving, on that midnight train to Georgia."

Goodbye dear Cindy, don’t let the door hit you in the can on your way out.

Another Poor Little Black Boy Shot for No Reason By Chicago Police

Here we go again. A couple of African-American teens armed with pellet handguns pull a street stick-up near what’s left of the Cabrini Green Housing Project. Soon officers confront a suspect, 14 year-old, Ellis Woodland who produces his gun and got exactly what he deserved, a trip to the hospital intensive care unit.

Predictably a large group of neighborhood troublemakers and street gang hoodlums converged on the 18th District station to protest the shooting. The ex-convict, son of a slain Black Panther Party Leader, Fred Hampton, who is also a felon was leading the mob. Fred Hampton, Jr. was quoted, "Another black man has been shot down by the police. "Excessive force is putting it mildly. Our babies aren't even immune to this."

I see the usual misdirected anger. It’s time to recognize the culture of violence, crime and the failure of parents to steer their children away from this conduct. Instead they celebrate and glorify the behavior with pride as a part of being Black. African-Americans in places like Cabrini Green murder each other at a rate much higher than the Ku Klux Klan did Blacks since post Civil War reconstruction.

African-Americans need to change their culture in America, learn to value education and be a part of a great country. Instead too many practice their own brand of racism and apartheid, rejecting any culture that’s not lawless, violent or that involves hard work.

As for the officers, I thank God they are safe after their encounter with the armed savages.

Brain dead Lawmakers In L.A. Love Gun Control At Any Price

Gun laws for the sake of making gun laws. They can’t get what they want and that’s total destruction of the Right To Keep and Bear Arms. They won’t rest until every law-abiding citizen has been forced through gun bans to turn in every gun or anything that even looks like a gun. The next best thing they can do is to stay awake nights in order to dream up some new law that would bring about the incremental end to all gun rights.

Here we go again with a wonderfully stupid idea. L.A. City Council members want to make it a crime not to report a stolen or lost firearm within 48 hours. That sounds simple until some gun owner discovers a missing firearm and can’t remember when he saw it last. Reporting the crime now may bring prosecution under this legislative abomination. What will happen? The stolen gun will now never be recovered and police will never get the chance to arrest the criminal for theft of a firearm.

Upon the expiration of 48 hours and one minute the hapless gun owner can’t be forced to report anything. Why you ask? Because the Fifth Amendment, absolute right against self-incrimination kicked in ending any requirement he had to report the theft. Now we have unintended consequences. The theft will never be reported.

If anything the government should do everything to encourage reporting the loss or theft of firearms. If the lawmakers could stick to making laws that affect criminals rather than the law-abiding they might someday reduce crime and violence.

Only In California Can You Cash In Because You’re A Convicted Sex Offender!

The latest California insanity is for convicted rapists and child molesters to sign leases, move into apartments and then inform their new landlord they’ve been convicted of rape or molesting children.

What happen next is truly amazing! The sex offenders offer to move out for a cash settlement usually in the thousands of dollars. The chagrinned landlords actually pay this legal extortion for fear the word will get out to the other tenants of their new neighbor. The landlord have little choice in the matter.

California does not allow landlords to use past criminal sex offenses to deny housing to potential tenants. California's Bolshevik politicians don’t want the poor sex offenders to suffer more punishment than state law dishes out on theses dangerous deviants.

Why Do I Think This Sniper Monster May Be Innocent?

I have a huge problem accepting the theory handed out by police that 33 year-old Dale Shawn Hausner is a serial killer. Hausner does not live in the world of intrigue and paranoia and is proving to be really a sociable fellow.

Having a full time job at the Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport for nearly a decade, Hausner also was working part time as a photographer and bartender. When you add that he’s involved with a cable access TV show and cares for his own pre-school daughter where could he find the time to stalk and kill strangers?

Police ballistic evidence will be either non-existent or very weak since a shotgun was apparently used in the attacks. This case will be won or lost by a battle of surveillance videotape and data from gasoline purchases and cell phone records.

Today Hausner gave a jailhouse interview and freely answered all questions until his court appointed Public Defender, Garrett W. Simpson got there and gagged him, shutting down the chat fest. Hausner's demeanor was as straightforward as I’ve ever seen in over 30 years.

The press conference law enforcement officials gave last Friday announcing the arrest of monster snipers was very reminiscent of the Litchfield Park, Arizona, Buddhist Monk Massacre of the early 1990s. In that case too, police officials spent more time congratulating themselves for their horrible police work than offering evidence.

Four boys from Tucson were framed and put through months of pure Hell as prosecutors demanded the death penalty. In the end the Tucson boys were vindicated and freed. The boys also lightened the Maricopa County treasury by many millions of dollars.

The immediate evidence to justify the arrests will be found in search warrant affidavits and police reports. We can count on the officials hiding these documents only if their case is really lame. If they have real evidence they will shout about it from the rooftops.

I predict officials will hide everything from public view opting for a secret Grand Jury Indictment instead of a public Preliminary Hearing to make their case for probable Cause.

I’d ask County Attorney Andrew Thomas to tread carefully here and shut this down quickly when the evidence just doesn’t add up correctly.

Stupid Fireman Tricks!

Here are some firemen with too much free time, a clothes dryer and a cell phone video camera try out for a Darwin award.

It’s The Media And Their Pundits Who Are Running Our Wars!

With the unprecedented instant coverage of the Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon and Israel conflicts, our Television media has the ability to influence our government like never before in history.

The media pundits are pulled from huge lists and used depending on what the news editors want our government to do. Tell me it ain’t so, Joe?

Politicians care about one thing, re-election and will do anything to please the media. That’s why we need term limits more than ever. It is true and downright spooky.

The Old Bolshevik Is Really Dead…

His reign of absolute power over the island nation of Cuba has ended. Castro’s cronies want to hang on in their world where the dictator’s incumbency is guaranteed by raw power and support from other Communist nations and too many Communist leaning American politicians.

It was our own Leftist politicians that provided protection for the Castro regime by making laws that prohibit the Cuban ex-patriots from assisting in the overthrow of that despot. The laws created to prevent the American government from killing foreign tyrants were the brainchild of Castro’s Communist allies who are or were members of the United States Congress.

Three weeks ago a Cuban friend alerted me that short wave radio traffic suggested that Castro had died. Apparently that has been a popular and persistent rumor.

This time the radio traffic was different. It was based on sighting of crying women and solemn government bureaucrats in and around Castro’s residence. My friend is not sure that Castro was even still alive to undergo the reported surgery last week.

The Cuban government’s silence today is deafening as the Bolshevik bastards called up their reserves and went into high military alert to deal with an anticipated insurrection led by Cuban folks wanting an end to that hideous form of government and the leftovers of the current regime.

I Played My Last Slot Machine

I’ve never been much of a gambler. I don’t think I’ve ever risked more than $110.00 on games or slot machines. When in Las Vegas, Atlantic City or the Indian gaming casinos I would give in to the temptation of watching the coins in my pocket disappear into those, hypnotic one-armed bandits. The sound of the coins dropping into the machine’s payout bowl makes great for music and excitement.

In case you don’t know as of a couple years ago, all of the gambling Mecca’s slot machines have gone to the new IRS friendly paper system. That’s right! No more sound of the coins dancing in and out of the Machines. The thrill is all gone for me and I thank the casinos for helping me keep my coins at times when I’m stuck in the Las Vegas airport.

I’m really glad the wage grabbing IRS can get their money from the fools redeeming their winning vouchers. I just don’t play anymore…

Monster Sniper Does Not Fit The Profile Of A Serial Killer


The art of behavioral science is a lot older that that popular Thomas Harris book and later film, Silence Of The Lambs. That of course is the concept of building profiles of the kind of suspect that would be responsible for a crime. Scientists have been trying to learn about what makes killers and criminals. The theories are numerous but the real facts are elusive. However, the fruits of modern police profiling efforts have resulted in stopping many serial killers in their tracks.

Killers responsible for the types of crimes such as stalking and shooting strangers bring to mind certain traits and demographics that become a common denominator or profile to help cops. These Phoenix sniper suspects, Dale Hausner and Samuel Dieteman don’t really fit the mold. Especially when examining Hausner’s background. Hausner is way too social and involved in too many productive activities unlike most serial killers.

I’m drawn to the concept that Truman Capote outlined in his book, IN COLD BLOOD. In that tale of woe, experts believed that the two killers alone could not be capable of their horrible crime. But when the two different personalities were combined that mixture created a third very volatile and monstrous result.

Somewhere in all this hocus-pocus, six innocent people were murdered and scores were wounded or otherwise traumatized by these crimes. If the law enforcement officials are right in their assertions that Hauser and Dieteman are the killers. It’s clear that the pair somehow became addicted to hunting their fellow human beings for sport. Apparently we all live in a very dark world.

Will we ever be able to find, isolate and manage the crime gene that can control the human mind? The fact is nobody will really care to learn from this duo but will instead put them both on the fast track to getting lethal injections at the Florence Arizona Prison Death House.

Police K-9 Killed By AN Officer

Police K-9 Killed By AN Officer

Yes, I love dogs. They are nicer, loyal and certainly make our lives richer. Some dogs like Seeing Eye, helper or police K-9s have real jobs that they live to perform. I don’t know what went wrong here but I’m sure it was no small heartbreak for the handler of “Dago” today.

Here’s the sad tale of Dago from WLS-TV in Chicago.

I have my own wonder-dog, Gypsy. She’s a private eye K-9. No she she’s not a trained killer she’s just a wonderful friend.

Monsters Have Been Found And Arrested In Phoenix!

Monsters, not suspected monsters but REAL MONSTERS according to officials now stand accused of being behind the killings and wounding of numerous innocent people over the past year. I’m amazed to see these law enforcement pros risk creating huge adverse, pre-trial publicity blunders here.

These authorities claim to have now linked these monsters to the killings of six people and wounding of 17 others, mostly pedestrians and bicyclists, since May 2005 in the "Serial Shooter" case.

This morning Phoenix politicians and law enforcement held a half hour Love In where they said that two men in their custody were monsters. I say Love In since they spent no less than 25 minutes saying how wonderful they and their efforts were to apprehend the monsters. The two monsters were spotted on surveillance video connected to a area Wal Mart arson cases by BATFE agents.

The two, so-called monsters are Dale Shawn Hausner, 33 and his Pal Samuel John Dieteman, 31 are in the police confessionals (interrogation rooms) as we speak. Will they be smart enough to say, I want a lawyer? Nah, that’ll never happen.

Dale Hausner is a photographer and bartender who has his own website where he mugs with boxers Bernard Hopkins, Mike Tyson and others. Hausner has been in local Phoenix courts for a slew of traffic violations. Hausner was also convicted of shoplifting and failure to appear in court according to Peoria Arizona City Court records.

Dieteman had his share of traffic citations and was wanted on an outstanding shoplifting warrant from the Glendale City Court.

Hausner's website was shut down so here are a couple of photographs...

Is TMZ.com Boss Harvey Levin A Cyberspace Troll?

I’ve only met Levin once and that was last October when TMZ.com was being launched. Levin is a sharp lawyer, promoter and TV producer.

TMZ.com is a website/blog not unlike Crimefile. The difference is a staff of two-dozen seasoned photographers, producers and webmeisters in the TMZ stable and the non-stop popular Hollywood gossip. TMZ’s content along with well paying sponsors keep TMZ afloat. Crime Guns and Video Tape is still just a labor of love.

The Mel Gibson DUI/Jew baiting rant is Levin’s hottest story yet. For Levin this is his breakout and vindication as the Captain of the TMZ ship. Levin’s job is to continue throwing gasoline on this bonfire and make TMZ a household name.

Is Levin hurting an alcoholic for his own gain? I don’t really think so. I see this outrageous event ending in a huge love-in where Gibson comes out healthy, wealthy and wise from the hype. America likes to forgive the high profile repentant.

In the very end TMZ's Managing Editor, Harvey Levin will somehow make Mel Gibson even more popular and sell more tickets to his movies.

Gun Hatred making National News

This was no news story. However some editor thought this was somehow newsworthy. Okay it could hazard if the wrong person found the item. Anyone please tell me how it any worse than someone leaving keys in a 3000 pound automobile that the wrong person may drive away? Here nothing happened but some Associated Press newsbunny’s imagination ran away with the possibilities here. The moral of this story may be that Glock 21 is a poor substitute for toilet paper. My suggestion is your newspaper may work better for that purpose!

The “story”…
