This extraordinary case needs to run through the Michigan Parole Board and Governor’s commutation program at a record speed. I hope that the parole board sees things the way I do and so many kind people that have stepped in to help Marie Walsh. Read today’s editorial here.

Los Angeles —KNBC-TV veteran anchor Paul Moyer told viewers about newly released information on a July 4, 2002 terrorist attack at The LAX, El Al Airline ticket counter by a suicide gunman who unleashed a bloodbath. I strongly recommend that citizens with adequate training ignore politician’s gun bans because as this story demonstrates self-help is all you have to survive the unthinkable. Carry your guns so you and others may live through events like the one Moyer reports. Read Moyer’s report and watch the compelling video here .

Susan Lefevre is on a prisoner bus traveling to a state that felt she needed 10 to 20 years imprisonment to turn her into a productive and law-abiding citizen. Michigan was dead wrong as today the stellar wife and mother, now know as Marie Walsh has become today serves as solid evidence of their misjudgment. I’m asking along with the hundreds of the fugitive’s friends and supporters for Governor Jennifer Granholm to use her commutation power in an unprecedented way in this unparalleled case. Governor has sole commutation power to set Lefevre free under Article 5 & 14 of the Michigan Constitution. That’s despite a bureaucracy that was set up to include all ten politically appointed members of the Michigan Parole Board. Usually parole boards are expected to be clairvoyant and predict which offenders are worth the risk of parole or commutation. They investigate and take a long hard look at each case before them and they nearly always vote on the side of caution against disturbing sen...

Throwing good money after bad to prop up her doomed campaign is fun to watch as long as it’s her money and not tax dollars. The real truth is but for Rush Limbaugh’s "Chaos" campaign Clinton would have run out of gas long before now. Aside from Clinton’s horrible history of deception and corruption I believe this woman is an un-American subversive. Clinton is bad for America. Mrs. Clinton would rather watch the Democratic Party crash and burn before she’d do what’s right and withdraw. Will Clinton play an extortion game on Obama? I expect Clinton will vow to haunt Obama by staying in the race until he agrees to let her be the Vice President candidate. Obama has risen out of Chicago’s Burke/Daley corruption cesspool and shows promise to run the entire nation like the dying crime-ridden metropolis. Obama may claim he’s not an un-American racist like his 20 year spiritual advisor but we all know that if you lay down with dogs you will wake up with fleas. When Obama was not...

Susan Lefevre now known as Marie Walsh has just begun a lengthy bus trip from San Diego, California to Plymouth Michigan where she escaped over three decades ago. Michigan contracts with a private prisoner transportation vendor that provides this service as authorized under a specific federal law. The bus will be visiting jails and prisons everywhere along the way where they will load and unload their high risk passengers. I suspect that this trip is the most miserable way to travel and may take as long as two weeks. Walsh will be wearing chains on her wrists and ankles during every moment she is in the bus. For Marie Walsh this may be the loneliest and most frightening trip she’s ever taken in her life. The good news for the Walsh family is that the legal machinery will begin considering requests for a sentence reduction or commutation as that bus arrives. When Marie Walsh steps off that bus she can hold her head up high and smile because the last three decades brought her a fine fami...

I did not expect American Blacks to vote for any candidates of a different skin color in a million years. Obama’s pastor did a really fine job of dividing the races. I see the usual Black precincts of Lake County Indiana are last to be counted. Of course I’m convinced they’re busy as usual stuffing those ballot boxes for their favorite color of candidate. Hillary vowed to work herself to death helping Obama should he become the party’s standard bearer. We can only hope Clinton was telling the truth! Really I’m hoping that that these contenders hate each other enough not be on the same slate ever. Now I’d like to help the Democrats and suggest that the Democratic VP choice be Al Sharpton! The Democratic Primary race is somewhat like watching the infamous and extreme Bumfights video of several years ago. As for November it will be just another lackluster General Election between politicians uniquely unfit and unqualified to run this country.

Santa Barbara --Javert of course, is the fictional policeman from that great Victor Hugo Novel, Les Misérables. Javert chased the escapee, Jean Valjean across France catching him nearly a lifetime after he had reformed and became a beloved town mayor. This is an example of lightning striking twice within a couple of months. In February, a long time, trusted and well liked University of California Santa Barbara employee, Jason Von Straussenburg , a Developmental Technician in the Biological Sciences Department was nabbed after an anonymous tipster told authorities he was really a Michigan escaped convict. The tipster was correct in fingering Roger Crona who broke out of another Michigan prison in 1972. Carona was twice sent to prison for auto theft related offenses. Decades have gone by and Crona found the good life in this beautiful coastal town. He put his larcenous ways behind him and at 61 years of age he could soon reasonably expect retirement and a nice pension. Now Crona is w...

Marie Walsh with her husband and three children. Click on picture to enlarge. Susan Lefevre is the San Diego woman recaptured after her escape in 1976 from a Michigan prison where she was serving a 10 to 20 year term. Lefevre is now known as Marie Walsh. I call Marie Walsh the modern day female, Jean Valjean from the great Victor Hugo Novel, Les Misérables. There is little precedent for this highly unusual case of sin, punishment, escape and redemption in our criminal justice system. This case involves the following facts: 1. Walsh was a 19 year-old first time offender. 2. Walsh received an unusually harsh sentence for her drug conviction. 3. Walsh escaped and was at large for over 32 years. 4. Walsh has never reoffended in over three decades. 5. Walsh has led the rest of her admirable life with her husband and three children. 6. Walsh was never involved in theft of violence. 7. Walsh is obviously no threat to public safety. 8. Walsh suffered over a year in prison and many years livi...

Springfield IL—Governor Rod Blagojevich announced plans to end inner-city violence by throwing $159 million at it. That reminds me of the time Chicago politicians gave a mere, one million dollars to Jeff Fort, head of the Blackstone Rangers aka The P Stone Nation and finally the El Rukins. Needless to say the politicians only funded the largest gang bloodbath in Chicago’s history. Just imagine what $159 million could do? Highlights of what Blagojevich wants: $20 Million for summer meaningless make-work jobs for idle youth, after school hip-hop, basketball and vocational training programs are the plan. Of course they left out any Bill Cosby style programs to change the basic ghetto culture of gangs, drugs and killing. $50 Million will be given away to fix up or acquire real estate in certain communities. The good news here is Blagojevich can only hand out $50 million to his cronies. That should bring in plenty of kick-backs for those expensive political campaigns. $40 million in gr...

How can that be when I served as an Army draftee in Germany and not Viet Nam? Yes, it’s true that the only combat I saw was those pillow fights with the local women, and they always won. Perhaps it was despite being out-numbered, I still fought them all gallantly above and beyond the call of duty? Okay I will confess to surrendering and doing what the nice ladies told me to do. The pictured Nation Defense Medal was the one I earned for simply showing up for duty. Really I’m proud of my service as a medical corpsman as though I won the Congressional Medal of Honor. I earned that medal along with an Honorable Discharge after two years required of active duty. The feds are prosecuting a despicable politician, Xavier Alvarez , 50, of Pomona, CA. Alvarez ran and was elected for office on his pretend military record platform and the Congressional Medal of Honor he claimed to have earned. Alvarez pled guilty to violating the Stolen Valor Act of 2005 which is federal misdemeanor and awaits...

Undated photo of Marie Walsh and her husband, Alan Walsh with their two daughters. After leading a law-abiding and productive life 32 years since her escape from a Michigan prison, Susan Lefevre now known as Marie Walsh is still quick to flash a bright smile. At first I could not understand how anyone could withstand being ripped from their home and loving family and not sink into a sewer of despair at the thought of resuming a 10 to 20 year prison stretch. Imagine how a wife of 23 years could handle being forced by jailers to remove her wedding ring before they apply the foul delousing spray jails commonly use on all new inmates? Walsh has been captured, put in irons and prison garb and still has an air of amazing style. She seems to be able to turn a handcuff on her wrist into an elegant, diamond tennis bracelet. For Walsh, her running is finally over. Walsh is also obviously proud of the life she made for herself, her family and friends. Above all Walsh beat the odds for prison con...

Gun violence and fears of armed confrontations inside businesses, malls and restaurants have caused massive private property gun bans in America. At first blush this seems an issue of private property rights but it’s more about simple fear and a poorly thought out solutions. Workplace violence was never a problem until our industries disarmed their security people. 45 years ago nearly every security guard in America was armed and crime was insignificant compared to today. Many say that times have changed and they’re right. Changes were made in the way we deal with crime and gun rights. As anti-gun rights hysteria spread in America the guards were slowly disarmed. Workplace violence became a new phenomena facilitated by that disarmament. Las Vegas hotels and Casinos only had armed security until the corporations gained control from those so-called Mob owners in the early 1980s. Take-over robberies never happened and crime in these places was low. Once the corporate bosses disarmed ...

This time the character Jean Valjean from Hugo’s great tear-jerker novel, Les Misérables, turns out to be a woman! Susan Leferve now known as Marie Walsh is the escaped convict that fled in 1976 from a severe 10 to 20 year prison term. She has turned her life around and lived the American dream with her husband and three children as a lawful and productive member of society. Javert the policeman, chased Valjean for his entire career all over France. The Michigan Department of Corrections has their own Javert aided by the US Marshall's service. Unfortunately, a 1832 national insurrection pre-dating the French Revolution brought death to most of the compelling characters in Les Misérables. If every offender in this country could follow Leferve’s lead by escaping and to never reoffend we’d be living in a true Utopia. We want our criminals to change their ways but it’s a very rare day when that happens. Some say it’s a terrible example to wipe LeFerve’s slate clean just because the fu...

Hell is Phoenix, Arizona in the summertime. It gets so hot you believe you’re in a blast furnace. But if you have a good imagination you can visualize this. Snow is so rare in Phoenix I had to stop and capture this video. Scott Drier will sing, Pure Imagination just for you!

America has waged a long and sordid war against gambling, pornography, prostitution and drugs. Of course we had a very bloody war against alcohol too. Vice brings the scorn of religious folks that want us all to live Christ-like. I don’t see anything wrong with being Christ-like, but for our government’s demand that we follow religious ideals. Vice crimes are a victimless classification of offenses that have purely religious origins. Sometimes people are kidnapped to work as sex slaves and that is absolutely a concern of any government. That’s not a valid excuse for government to try and regulate anyone’s sex life. There are lots of valid laws that regulate kidnapping. Today Deborah Jeane Palfrey , known as the "D.C. Madam," hanged herself rather that deal with a 55 year prison term she faced for hurting nobody. I find the penalties themselves shocking and the suicide revolting. I cannot see a lengthy prison term as somehow a better option than death. Our prisons mix ...

Please Call or write Michigan Governor Jennifer M. Granholm For a stupid teenage indiscretion in illegal drug commerce in 1975, Susan Lefevre now known as Marie Walsh was sent to prison in Michigan. She accepted responsibility and got a draconian 10 to 20 year sentence. Lefevre turned her life around and is a wife and mother of three fortunate children today. She’s avoided drugs, crime and the lifestyle that led to her going to prison. She did what less than ten percent of ex-convicts can do. She was never arrested for another offense. Lefevre felt threatened in prison and found a way to escape with the help of her grandfather in 1976. LeFevre spent the next three decades keeping a terrible secret fearing every knock at the door. That knock came last Thursday and she is on her way back to Hell. I’ve investigated this woman and firmly believe she should be forgiven and have her sentence commuted at once. I can’t imagine the horror her family is going trough right now. Here is the who...

Boomer is a two year-old African lion who ran away from home. His home was with a resident of the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg Indian Reservation near Ottowa Canada. The cat’s owner claims Boomer is only a harmless pet. I suspect that the “harmless” claim has fallen on deaf ears as police aided with helicopters are searching for Boomer right now. I heard Boomer was on his way to Chicago where he wants to become the mascot for any winning sports team. Please Boomer! Turn around and go home before it’s too late! I sure hope history does not repeat itself again...

SAN DIEGO – Susan Lefevre was a teen who made some bad choices and found herself sent to prison for a 10 to 20 year term for drug dealing by a Saginaw county court after she pled guilty in 1975. Soon Lefevre’s grandfather helped her break out of the what's mow called the Robert Scott Correctional Facility located in Plymouth and she’s been on the lam ever since. Lefevre fled to California and It’s abundantly clear she learned the lesson her lifestyle brought her. Lefevre changed her ways and chose the life of a clean living, suburban San Diego housewife, and soccer mom. According to a US Marshall’s spokesman the fugitive changed her name to Marie Walsh and evaded capture until late last week. Someone ratted out the 53 year-old absconder to the Michigan Department of Corrections. That led to her capture. Lefevre’s husband and three children were unaware of her secret. Punishment was administered but was interrupted for over three decades. Carrying around the secret and looking o...

Here are a few shots I took at the UCLA Book Festival this weekend. Free speech is alive and well at UCLA as you can see. Authors Wambaugh, Huffington, Ackerman and Elder were just a few of many heavyweights. and here is the video I shot of the event.
