That twisted soul has lived an odyssey for the last couple of months since getting the attention of various law enforcement authorities in connection to his made up confession of molesting and murdering Jonbenet Ramsey.
Karr has drawn scorn and hate wherever he’s been sent since his arrest in Thailand. He’s now free and doesn’t even have to register as a sex offender despite his very public fantasies of molesting and murdering children.
The purpose of sex offender registration is to aid in keeping tabs on creeps like Karr. Karr will never find another school district dumb enough to hire him and I don’t think he will ever be able to move anywhere unnoticed.
We’ve definitely not heard the end of Karr, because news reporters will follow him around for many years to come. Another serious issue is that Karr is marked for murder or at least some serious assaults by thugs wanting to get famous.
Karr has given himself a huge cross the bear for the rest of his life. Karr’s getting much more serious punishment that his misdemeanor kiddyporn capper could have ever brought him in California. For John Mark Karr there is no place on the planet where he can just disappear.

Is Los Angeles D A Steve Cooley Happy Yet?
In downtown L.A. the Manslaughter trial of 89, year-old George Russell Weller is winding down. Cooley’s prosecutors have been beating up Weller before a jury over the accidental deaths of ten unfortunate souls who died when the old gent became confused while driving at the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market three years ago.
Weller made that common and well documented error of stepping on the gas pedal instead of the break pedal losing control of his Buick. It’s a phenomenon that often affects elderly drivers called “Pedal Error” and "unintended acceleration".
During this trial the best defense witnesses were some of the cops sent to investigate this horrible accident. Of course prosecutors never missed an opportunity to twist Weller’s, remorse, concern and heartbreak for the victims into some kind of confession to criminal wrongdoing.
At least the judge excused Weller from attending this grueling trial for other than appearances at the beginning and end of this circus. That decision by the trial judge was a humanitarian act.
The cost to the taxpayers and Weller for this pathetic persecution will be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. If Cooley can’t put Weller in prison perhaps he can simply kill him through stress.
Closing arguments are expected today and the case should go to the jury before the end of the week.
I’m hoping that the judge will have the courage to render a directed, Not Guilty verdict before the arguments begin, saving the jury from the trouble of laughing (or crying) this sad episode out of court.
KNBC-TV was not allowed to bring a camera into the courtroom but has provided a daily blog written by producer Cindy Vandor tracking this case. You can that blog read here.
Here is a computer anamation provided by the defense to show Weller's point of view as his car went out of control.

Watch Out Ladies The Heroes At The TSA Are Looking For This Weapon!
This is the latest item to create panic among the TSA and invite even more intimate searches of airline passengers. This is a real gun that shoots real bullets. They know just where some woman may hide this new terror tool.
I can just see sweating TSA goons waiting to explore your flesh in the name of NATIONAL SECURITY.
This little offering comes from a clever Swiss company.

No, I’m not the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s Baby!
For the record, I did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Smith!
Perhaps I should have given her a tumble. The lucky father can net a really tidy sum in child support especially after she collects the estate of that rich old geezer she married a while back in Texas. Of course you have to make a serious custody argument to the court.
Usually unwed fathers run like Hell to escape 18 years of child support payments, but now the boys are all wanting to ‘fess up to this deed.
Hey Anna Nicole, when do I get my hush money?

Childhood incident may have triggered Amish School shooting.
NICKEL MINES, Pa. - Whatever motivated 32 year-old Charles Carl Roberts, IV act of carnage happened when he was 12 years old. Roberts directed his revenge in a community of absolute pacifists that would never use any form of self-defense to survive even a deadly attack.
Roberts, a married father of three apparently wanted to kill himself and take innocent little girls with him. This local Amish school just didn't present even a minimal security challenge. This evil attack was truly like shooting ducks in a barrel.
The Amish people involved will write this sad chapter off as, God’s will and move on with their grief.
In a country with a population of 300 million people there are bound to be some highly disturbed people as well as too many violent criminals. Thanks to today’s media communications, these events are widely broadcast and published. The incidents of copycat assaults are a sad reality.
We’ve become a snitch society calling authorities on anyone who seems odd. Perhaps we need to lean more about empathy for angry people rather than scorn. Perhaps the simplest concern for Roberts by a co-worker or acquaintance could have prevented this horrible event.
It could have been much worse. Instead of using his gun, Roberts could have used a one-gallon can filled with gasoline after jamming the doors closed. There would have been no survivors.
I never considered being a truck driver because of that lifestyle of endless long and lonely shifts in some truck cab. Roberts drove his truck during long friendless nights. Perhaps Roberts had too many lonesome hours to brood about that 20 year-old event.

Democrats Are Waging A Desperate Hate Campaign to Win Control Of Congress.
Democrats seem to have forgotten the absolute lock they had on both houses of Congress for more than 50 years. It was under the ultra Left Wing Clintons and their war on American’s gun rights that brought about the change of power. Two later Presidential elections saw Democrats running Whitehouse candidates even further Left than the Communist Polit Bureau.
George Bush won because Republicans held their noses as they went to the polls to vote for this weak Liberal, Republican candidate over the only other choice.
Itching to tax Americans deeper into slavery the desperate Democrats are running the angriest campaigns ever. The Democrats have still not hatched a plan to deal with Iraq despite complaining about it for nearly six years.
The Finger Waging Clinton has emerged from his cave to mislead and deny to Americans his failure to pull the trigger on Osama bin Laden when he had several chances to do so.
Clinton’s bigger priorities were to destroy what’s left the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution and our gun rights. National defense took a back seat because Clinton and his administration were fixated on a Waco church whose members collected firearms. Church members rejected new laws passed to ban firearms and deny millions more people their rights over ancient juvenile and misdemeanor convictions. We all watched in horror as our government vaporized these men women and children even though they had no history of plans of violence.
Clinton correctly blamed gun owners and the National Rifle Association for turning a large number of entrenched Democrats out of office. That happened at the first opportunity after that famous 51-50 Senate vote to pass that now expired and not renewed Assault Weapons Ban.
Bush is weaker than ever as he pushed his Guest Worker Amnesty Plan that would financially gut this country as our own poor get victimized the most. The Iraq war was another really bad idea considering we could have given both Iraq and Iran the nuclear bomb those outlaw enemy countries deserve.
One thing is happening for sure, the people leading this country are farther than ever from what American citizens want.

The Official Crimefile Review Of The Guardian
I was given a heads up on this film nearly a year ago by long time Chicago television, crime reporter, Bulldog John Drummond. Drummond has a part playing himself in my film project Come Friday.
Drummond was lobbying me to contact Filmmaker/Director and Chicago boy, Andrew Davis for consideration to take charge of this true story of Chicago policewoman Ann Leybourne. What a gift it would be to have Davis direct my project. Davis of course gave us that great, made in Chicago film, The Fugitive. The film based on the hit TV series of the same name from the early 1960s. Indecently, the Bulldog played a TV crime reporter in The Fugitive too.
When I first saw The Guardian cast lineup, I was less than impressed but for the gorgeous and talented Sela Ward. Ward also played the cameo role of the too quickly murdered Helen Kimball in The Fugitive. It was Ward and Davis’ prior work that drew me to his latest film.
I’ve never been a Kevin Costner fan except for his role in the spy thriller, No Way Out. As for Aston Kutcher, I never took him serious for anything more than a passing heartthrob for pre-teen girls. Watching these two actors in their roles as Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers, under Andy Davis, I learned they are both terrific actors. Sela Ward was better than ever (Okay, I confess to having a crush on Ward!).
I had another problem with the film’s concept that takes us through military training in the United States Coast Guard. Being a Viet Nam era Army veteran I view basic and advanced military training as a form of slow torture that should be outlawed by the Geneva Convention. With all due respect to my friend and Marine Corps icon, R. Lee Ermey, I will save all those “Uhh Ras!” for my bowel movements. The excellent story telling actually made the military training exciting.Yes, that's Gunney making me do 20...
As for the Coast Guard water rescues, our boys and girls put their lives on the line saving others hundreds of times per year. This film showcases the Coast Guard’s capabilities that helicopter inventor and dare devil test pilot, Igor Sikorski could not have envisioned.
I say go see this film, the fine acting will surprise you for sure. The entire cast proved that a really great director knows how the get the best out of his actors.
The official site and trailer is here.

We’ve Unfairly Redefined The Term Racism
Don’t feel bad is someone calls you a racist. They probably don’t know what they’re talking about. I don’t now very many people that feel skin color or national origin means much of anything.
Hate goes with racism. Most of us hate something. I hate ignorance, poverty, blight and crime. I hate any culture that embraces those things. I call that kind of culture, the Culture Of Doom. That does not make me a racist in any respect. Unfortunately in America there are two minority groups with way too many members immersed in the doom culture, Blacks and Hispanics.
The danger is that too often we tend to assume every Black or Hispanic we see is a part of that distasteful, Culture Of Doom. Since the beginning of the human race we properly associated behavior, dress and speech with culture. Hating the Culture Of Doom does not make anyone racist or comedian, Bill Cosby would have been branded that long ago.
Members of the Culture Of Doom need to mend their ways and quit whining about racism.
Here’s the current definition of Racism:
rac·ism (rā'sĭz'əm) noun
1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.

Extreme Cell Phone Self-Abuse And Murder
You see them everywhere, creating traffic congestion and accidents as they relentlessly jabber on their cell phones. They are so caught up in their conversations they don’t move when the light turns green. They will even stop at an intersection during a green light in hope that it will turn red so they can dial yet another number.
What is the urgency for all these phone calls? I’m sure only a small percentage of cell phone self-abuser’s calls involve life, livelihood or anything important at all. The worst offenders seem to people without a job that requires they be so connected.
I recognize the need for the cell phones and wonder how we ever did without them. We now have an entire generation of people that don’t have a clue about the days when every telephone came with a cord tethering them to some wall.
The experience of searching for a phone booth in a driving rain is something our 20-somethings will never know. Clark Kent’s secret identity would be endangered today without the phone booths he used to transform into Superman.
When I was last in India I discovered that the shoeshine boys and even my elephant driver had cell phones. Cell phone self-abuse is Global malady.
Lately I’ve been getting a perverse pleasure out of seeing frustrated cell phone self-abusers getting on my elevator as their cell phone call is dropped as the signal fades.
If you fall into this hopelessly connected category please seek therapy. If you don’t we all may see a new kind of serial killer arrive on the scene, The Cell Phone Assassin! He hunts for people yakking on cell phones and kills them.
Can you imagine the above the fold banner headlines there’d be? A new panic will strike America. Perhaps with a little help from the Cell Phone Assassin, we can reduce accidents and get traffic moving for a change. One thing for sure all drivers would be more attentive. Out of the carnage something new and wonderful would develop in America, cell phone discretion.
Here are some very important cell phone calls originating in L.A.'s trendy Westwood area today. Sit back for a moment and imagine just how important all these calls really must be.

YOUTUBE And Copyright Violations
I can’t argue that every artist, performer and producer does not have the right to control their work, image and intellectual property. Then came YOUTUBE breaking all the rules. They let people put up whatever video they please and merely provide free hosting. The villains if any there are just happen to be the posters of the material, not YOUTUBE.
There are a gaggle of lawyers waiting to gut YOUTUBE claiming they are the copyright abusers hoping to sue them out of existence. They want YOUTUBE to police what the public posts there. I say they should not have to. The lawyers can locate individual abusers like me and take me to court instead. YOUTUBE’s users are on the honor system!
I say take a deep breath, and try to first determine if this service is not simply helping the artists. There are so many artists that have fallen out of the spotlight and their work can’t be seen anywhere who have been reborn on YOUTUBE. The result a new marketplace has been found where they can sell their stuff.
I have a solution! Let the artists sell their CDs and DVD’s with any exhibition of their work. After I stole the Jack Webb clip I went out a bought a boxed set of Dragnet DVD’s to enjoy. Had I not seen the clip and discovered what a lost treasure it was, I would have never bought the DVDs.
Grabbing and posting local TV news clip with proper credit promotes that TV station’s news product. That’s international publicity that station can’t buy anywhere.
My hope is that the courts don’t hang YOUTUBE for what their users do. This is not the same as the Napster.com case. Thousands of users like me post original material that they create. Viva YOUTUBE!

Gun Free Zones Are Killing our Children!
A major failed experiment of Liberals across the country was to establish GUN FREE ZONES. The concept is simple enough, to ban all firearms within certain areas.
There was no better place to start this grand idea then in our schools. Perhaps a message could be sent to the children that guns are evil and only for killing! It’s double duty, prohibiting and demonizing guns at the same time!
That GFZ concept is usually announced with bold red-letter signs. Additional efforts are taken such as placing minimum wage, poorly trained, guards with empty holsters and metal detectors at the doors of these institution.
In theory the GFZs should work. The reality is that they only work to insure a homicidal maniac can quickly gain control of the Gun Free Zone and kill as many of our children as he pleases. The Gun free Zones and unarmed security guards are no match for a determined and armed assailants or terrorists.
When the so-called Mob gave up control of the Las Vegas hotel/casinos,to new corporations, their gun-shy executives disarmed their security at first opportunity. The result was an, unprecedented surge in take over robberies and killings of tourists. The new Las Vegas executives soon learned their mistakes and re-armed their security staff members. The crime wave has all but ended.
The United States Postal Service used to have armed mailmen assigned to security duties before the creation of the uniformed postal police. These mailmen were disarmed and not replaced by the postal police. The postal police were never in every post office like the armed mailmen. They are called the same way you’d order a pizza, but the pizza would arrive first.
Predictably the new term, “goin’ postal” was born. Disgruntled and disturbed employees began to settle their scores right there without interference from anyone armed. The funeral directors got an increase in business.
As corporations across the country soon adopted the empty holster, guard programs another new term was born, “workplace violence”. The same thing happening in the postal facilities happened in factories everywhere.
When the GFZ programs fail the administrators then waste good money after bad on more metal detectors and empty holster guards. The gun-hating administrators refuse to admit the failure of their experiment. They just can’t seem to learn the lesson that guns are for protecting and saving lives.
You would have though after the tragedy at the Columbine High School, Colorado school officials would have learned something. Obviously they did not.
If you are responsible for the safety of a business, school or other institution sell your metal detectors and hire trained and armed professionals and let them run the security programs. If you have an empty holster guards who can’t be trusted or trained to use a firearm, get rid of them.

Chicago Museum Set to Reopen September 30th
When I was a kid growing up in Chicago I discovered a terrific free museum near the Intersections of Clark Street and North Avenue. This was The Chicago Historical Society. Over decades I would spend countless hours inside viewing incredible exhibits that covered every American war, The Fort Dearborn Massacre, The Chicago Fire, The Haymarket Riot and so much more.
There was a jewel. That was the Lincoln exhibit containing the actual furnishings, including the very same bed that Abe Lincoln died in along with all the other furniture. They recreated that boarding house room to every detail. (The actual linens and bloody pillow are preserved at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC where they recreated the missing furniture.) This was also the place to learn how and why Chicago became the city it is today.
This museum boasted the finest gun collection found anywhere in the country. Examples of every kind of firearm could be seen here until guns were demonized in 1968. During the 1970s, as fast as the liberal gun haters on the board of directors could, that fabulous gun collection disappeared and dwindled to just a few. The museum was a victim of political correctness and an insidious form of censorship. I can’t help but reason that the Museum’s board became a tool for revisionist history with that move.
Over a year ago the museum closed for retooling and remodeling. With that came a name change to satisfy the lowbrow inhabitants of Chicago. It will be reopened as, The Chicago History Museum. I will visit the new institution on my very next trip to Chicago. I will reserve my opinion of the changes until I’ve seen them with my own eyes. Yes I’m suspicious and distrusting about more revisions to Chicago’s history.
There are few signs of any of the exhibits that captivated me as a child and young adult on the museum’s website. I can only hope that have not destroyed more history in the name of political correctness.

The Colonel Has Left The Range
A giant in the firearms rights and training world, Colonel Jeff Cooper has passed on. He was an educated man and understood what made this country great. Cooper founded his Gunsight training facility in Arizona that went a long way to keeping cops and law-abiding citizens safe. Cooper was an author and wrote thousands of articles throughout his career.

Repealing the Fourth Amendment
We don’t need no stinkin’ Fourth Amendment! That’s the battle cry this morning from Republican Congressman, Geoff Davis of Kentucky. He’s authored a new anti-drug and anti-weapon law that would require every local district to develop search policies – including strip searches that come with built in civil and criminal immunity against prosecution for teachers and staff.
They are calling this un-American legislation, THE STUDENT TEACHER SAFETY ACT OF 2006. The House passed this trash bill on a voice vote, bypassing the committee process and with no way to hold individual members of the House accountable for their votes.
How did a clown like Representative Geoff Davis get elected in the first place? He’s just another politician who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution and then attempts to amend it, avoiding the proper political process for amending the Constitution.
I offer no excuse for this but believe Davis must be incredibly ignorant or just plain insane. Perhaps he thinks we should adopt the policing methods of North Korea? I don’t think even Hitler’s Nazis would have adopted this kind of strategy.
In the early days of America Geoff Davis would have faced a large crowd of men carrying torches who would have hauled him off for an educational session on some fun things that can be done with tar and feathers.
However today’s people that inhabit America have no use for the Bill of Rights that hundreds of thousands of our soldiers have fought and died defending.
I’m trying to figure out what most parents would say about schoolteachers and school employees frisking, fondling and striping their children in the name of public safety?

Quick! Stop The World For More TSA Panic
This time it’s the Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Somebody forgot he had a small Beretta .25 in his carryon case this morning. When he remembered it was time to quickly leave to avoid being jailed for pure and simple forgetfulness.
The TSA Nazis captured the gun and the bag so whatever threat they thought they had was over. Flights were unnecessarily delayed for 90 minutes anyway as they evacuated two concourses and frisked every passenger again.
Where does the TSA find the morons that make these stupid decisions? The TSA dopes won’t rest until all the airlines are bankrupt.
I suspect the gun's owner is on video tape and they even have his name and address from his bag. With any luck even so they still may not be able to gather enough probable cause to arrest anyone. Our desperado needs to remain silent and only ask for a lawyer if they come looking for him.

Katrina Victims Ravaging Houston
"When the `Katricians' themselves are quoted as saying the crime rate is going to go up if they don't get more free rent, then it's time to get your concealed-handgun license.” a voice on Houston radio proclaims. Gun shop owner and radio talk-show host, Jim Pruett, voiced this ad. Of course this has become a war of words between the Liberals and Conservatives of this Texas metropolis.
Natural disasters take lives, destroy property and levy an emotional toll on humanity. They also bring out the best and worst of human behavior.
The first response by criminals is always looting and as police are unable to deal with or prevent crime the gangsters naturally escalate their lawlessness. Of course the law-abiding victims of such catastrophes were the obvious prey for the armed thugs.
During and after the evacuations of New Orleans the despot Mayor, Ray Nagin ordered police to rob law abiding citizens of their legally owned firearms and ammunition leaving them helpless unable to defend against the roving gangs of home invasion robbers and rapists. Unfortunately a tyrant politician put the police on the wrong side of the law as the courts soon ruled. It’s amazing some citizen resisting the armed robbery of his firearms did not kill some cop. If that happened it would have been a justifiable homicide. No honorable cop should ever violate his oath of office to enforce some crackpot politician’s obviously unlawful directive.
The generous citizens of Houston opened their homes and arms for the victims of Hurricane Katrina taking in, a quarter-million refugees. They came to Houston in busses, some chartered and other stolen. The crime rate and murders began to soar as a result. With 120,000 evacuees remaining after their free money ran out the crime rate won’t be coming down any time soon.
Houston police say that Katrina evacuees are suspects or victims in 59 of Houston's 262 homicides between January 1 and August 26. That the upper-middle-class, West Houston residents have blamed evacuees for violent crime rates that have increased almost 14 percent in one district and homicides that have nearly doubled in another.
Within two weeks of the Katrina refugees being kicked out of Houston’s hotels I was sent there on an assignment. They were making serious renovations to hotels everywhere in town because of the wanton and outrageous destruction to the rooms and property of the inns caused by their former guests. Most of the hotel employees where I checked in were bitter for their experience with these freeloaders.
It’s too bad the Katrina refugees could not be sent to a city that voted to ban handguns. Anyone foolish enough to support gun bans deserve a lesson too many Katrina evacuees are only too willing to provide.

Accused Chicago Cops Released On Bail
Bail is most important for innocent people accused of crimes. It’s not the issue of freedom so much as the pressure for other prisoners to win their own freedom by claiming you confessed to unsolved crimes. This and a whole host of things that can and do interfere with fair trials happen to people forced to stay in custody.
The four accused officers were ordered held on outrageously high bail not heard of outside First Degree Murder cases where the death penalty cannot be imposed. Of course the prosecutors are very unhappy but bail is no small part of the Bill of Rights. Yes cops have rights too.
The four officers were arrested on September 7 and still face multiple charges including armed violence, home invasion, aggravated kidnapping and delivery of a controlled substance.
Now let the justice system grind through this mess and hopefully the right things will happen. The officers can receive as much as 30 years behind bars if convicted. I hope these cases are only hot air and that the officers are actually innocent. Somehow I think the states witnesses are going to turn out to be a bunch of liars. Stay tuned.

Maria Bello naked in a film with me?
I’ve wanted to be in a film with this stunning actress ever since we met in a Marina Del Rey deli. Well it actually happened and she got naked too! I have a speaking cameo early in the film but unfortunately I’m not in that scene with Bello. William Macy had the real fun!
This is a NC-17 rated film that just opened in the theaters. Its called THIS FILM IS NOT YET RATED. This film is a documentary that exposes the inner workings of the Motion Picture Association of America, film ratings system.
Filmmakers, Kirby Dick and Eddie Schmidt a couple of years ago first contacted me about their project. They wanted to determine who at the MPAA made ratings decisions and to determine possible conflicts of interest in the process. The independent filmmakers felt that the ratings deck was stacked against them in favor of their competitors, the major studios. I was none too eager as an actor/screenwriter to get into this mix and anger many of my potential employers.
Our filmmakers went with a colorful, middle-aged, self-professed dyke PI to do the job. There is a lot of humor involved with the unmasking of the anonymous raters and appeal board members. There is also a not so subtle suggestion that these people have a conflict of interest because of their other roles in the film industry.
I expect some serious fallout over Dick and Schmidt’s exposé to come from the powerful MPAA and the studios that created that organization.
Film information and trailer is here.

They’re Pledging Allegiance To The Mexican Flag In American Schools?
Dateline Freeport Texas--Nothing that goes on in our schools supported by American taxpayers can surprise me anymore. Is this Liberal or just simple insanity? What was Velasco Elementary School’s Principal Sam Williams thinking when allowed a Mexican Independence Day celebration complete with a pledge of allegiance to the Mexican flag in a school supported by American taxpayers?
Anyone that wants to support a foreign government is free to leave our soil for good and do so. It’s beyond bizarre to see Mexicans who choose to leave that country, trespass on our soil celebrate anything involving that corrupt government while sucking the benefits of a free education from loyal Americans.
Sam Williams needs to be removed from any and all American government payrolls for this slap in the face to every American he facilitated. Williams is a disloyal American has since apologized in an effort to keep his job. It’s too late and we must let every educator in America know this kind of activities will not be tolerated in our schools.
You can hear a radio program in Houston where this even was the hot topic of talk radio yesterday. It’s the Chris Baker show on NewsRadio 740 KTRH.
