Hysterical Response To An Armed Man Is Fun To Watch
Portsmouth, NH—Chairman Barack Obama went to town hall meeting in the, Live Free Or Die state of New Hampshire.
An anti-Obama protester, William Kostrick was present in a position well outside the meeting hall with a loaded and holstered handgun. That was his unquestionable right except in the eyes of some people who went absolutely berserk at the simple display. The man also carried a sign with a quote from a great American, Thomas Jefferson that was and is still provocative.
Freedom is here because as George Orwell said, “Men sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.”
Freedom is being threatened by the Obama regime and the threat is not idle. He and his un-American cabal has begun dismantling free enterprise, our entire monetary system and is moving to place Americans under the yoke of Socialist slavery.
We still have the right to peaceably assemble with the right to keep and bear arms. Both rights of these rights are under attack by the same people who support Obama and all his Marxist programs.
The Secret Service understands our laws and a presidential visit, does not trump freedom. They live with the law and yes some people want to and have killed our presidents. These agents have worked around a free society since the organization was created in 1865. It’s a tough job sometimes.
I once got to meet a United States President, Jimmy Carter and I carried a legal concealed weapon to the meeting. It was a real non-event other than I was under the watchful eyes of the Secret Service. Okay, I was an off duty cop but never advertised it or made national news over that fact.
I guess there are lots of people who want to assume every gun is owned or carried by evil persons. People who want to preserve freedom and our way of life like me feel it’s our duty. If they continue to take our freedom the smell of gun smoke will once again be in the air. That’s exactly why we have a Second Amendment.
Perhaps it's time for American Presidents to not be dividers and accept the form of government our founding fathers gave us.

A Silent, Two Pound Eye In The Sky Surveillance Drone In Time For Christmas!
Waterloo, Canada—It’s about to hit our sky very soon at a mere $50K per copy. It’s called the Aeryon Scout and will allow minimally skilled users to capture high resolution images of events happening below. The drone is all electric and operates silently.
Its knapsack sized package can be opened and the drone deployed from a car trunk in seconds. The initial intended end users will be security companies, police and we can count on the news organizations avoiding the high cost of helicopter air time. .
For news organizations they will be able to own the sky over crime scenes at least until police or medical helicopters are present.
The company boasts their drone will operate in bad weather and is waterproof.
I can see the Hollywood paparazzi industry jumping on this gee whiz gizmo in a New York second.
You can get more information and place your order here.

Guaranteed Free Medical Care For Criminal Aliens Under Obamacare
Washington, DC—One thing nobody wants to talk about is the absolute right to free medical care for criminal aliens under Barack Obama’s hostile government takeover of the medical and health insurance industries.
Illegal alien drug dealers, human traffickers and even killers doing their nasty business inside our borders would get the same care as our own law-abiding citizens that paid taxes their whole lives.
Call Congress today and tell them to stop Obamacare now at 202-225-3121

Drew Peterson Prosecution Is Hinged On Illegal Hearsay Evidence
Joliet, IL—They finally indicted retired Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson on a dubious count of murdering his third wife. The physical evidence of is non-existent and the exact cause of her death is far from certain. Prosecutors are relying on a brand new and perhaps Ex-Post Facto law to enable this prosecution.
As Peterson languishes in jail with an unheard of $20 million bond, his lawyers are scrambling to get him his fair day in court.
The “evidence” here is primarily double hearsay evidence. This Indictment and prosecution was enabled by the “Drew Peterson Law”, which was strictly an emotional response to a stalled police investigation by the Illinois Legislature.
They changed the law, sidestepping Drew Peterson’s Constitutional right to face his accusers. This legislative response was both unconstitutional and un-American.
They already allow prosecutors to present hearsay evidence of alleged confessions by defendants. This is where they take some burglar out of jail, put lipstick and a suit on him and let him tell his tale of hearing another prisoner confess to a jury. This usually comes in exchange for a, get out of jail free card for the babbling burglar.
Now prosecutors have even more nefarious power. They seek using the Drew Peterson Law to present testimony from someone who claims to have heard the confession from someone else who allegedly claimed to have heard it from Peterson. Only the witness repeating the double hearsay will be under oath while the others in the alleged conversation chain will not.
The logical way to deal with this is to have a final judicial ruling on the issue of this new and untested law before such testimony is allowed to be presented.
If the law is struck down this should end the prosecution unless or until more reliable and admissible evidence is located. In any event it all begins with the defense asking for a Declaratory Judgment striking the law down.
The Defense Motion is pending and the Will County State’s Attorney has the right and duty to defend this legislative effort custom made to get Drew Peterson. Despite the ruling from Peterson’s trial judge either side can be expected to appeal the ruling.
Here is that Motion:

Productive, Taxpaying Americans Have The Power To Stop Obama
Washington, DC—As the Communists has taken control of our government and placed taxpayers under siege they seem to have forgotten something. The ultimate power lies with America’s taxpaying producers.
We have the ability to shut down this rogue government with our collective clout. The government can be brought to its knees with a three-day productivity moratorium. We don’t buy anything nor do we sell anything for three day periods.
During a normally busy week every business can shut down for three days. Government employees can call in sick to work. People can refuse to buy or sell goods. A three day holiday would cost federal, state and local governments billions in lost revenue and force them to do without.
Unlike refusing to pay taxes that might bring prosecution shutting down our own businesses violates no laws.
Imagine what three-days loss of parking garage tax revenue would do to Chicago’s Daley-Burke crime families?
Why produce just to have the profits taken and redistributed those people who don’t earn them?
Every time our politicians refuse to do what we demand we simply shut down. Why do we continue to feed the monster?

Manson Family Murders Forty Years Later
Los Angeles, CA—Forty years is indeed a milestone since the nights of unbridled horror rocked Hollywood. A bunch of seemingly disenfranchised kids were misled by an older ex-con who was a charismatic aspiring musician. That group of naive kids was taken down a path straight to Hell.
The crimes were beyond unimaginable and senseless. Was this a product of a mind control experiment gone wrong? I’ve heard all the theories by the so-called experts and can except none of them. Perhaps we will never know.
One thing for sure. If there ever were crimes that justified the death penalty these were at the very top of the list. Fuhrman vs. Georgia changed all that in 1972 when the Manson Family was resentenced to life.
Mitigation
Most Americans can find any mitigation or reason for mercy for the Manson Family horrors. Excuse me for suggesting that the mad acts of first time offenders under unparalleled influence of drugs and an evil leader deserve study and perhaps some form of mercy.
It was none other than our own government that gave us LSD, an intended weapon of war gone wrong. The 1960’s users of this drug never had the right information about the risks and Hollywood made that and other drugs fashionable. Heavy LSD us by the Manson Family was well-documented.
As for Charles Manson he was no first time offender nor did he deserve to live, but what about the kids Manson twisted? They were an extreme danger and their acts deserved extreme punishment. Had these kids entered my dwelling I would have done my best to kill every last one of them in an act of justifiable self-defense.
Now these kids are senior citizens who have disavowed Manson and taken steps to change their lives. Should they be redeemed? Most or all religions of the world say yes while most Americans say no.
We do know one thing for sure. Age and disability does remove or greatly reduce the danger connected with releasing criminals. We also know that young and dangerous criminals need the confinement behind bars.
At this point in time the Manson kids are incarcerated strictly for deserved vengeance only. Their behavior in prison has been well beyond that of their peers.
As California dumps tens of thousands of prisoners on our streets early I’d like to think the old, disabled and long time reformed prisoners get preference for release. That includes the Manson family sans, Manson.
We must make room in our prisons for the young and able bodied offenders that threaten our safety.

Lady Cop Pummels Old Woman In Columbus Ohio
Columbus, OH—This came to me via a Facebook friend who works as a Cook County Public Defender in Chicago.
At this time I can’t give you background on the underlying circumstances that brought the police to this scene. You see the event unfold as the cell-phone camera owner and others agitate the police for all they're worth.
An old woman goes down hard and was bleeding after she brandished a nasty looking knife at a young policewoman. The officer properly followed her training here. The results are tragic in that the old gal somehow lost it. I’m sure the officer was herself traumatized by the entire event.
This was one of those split-second decisions cops must sometimes make. For those that don’t know it knives at close range are much more deadly than firearms.
Why The Death Penalty Needs To be Abolished
Los Angeles, CA—As most of my readers know I loathe the Marxist agenda of the Obama Administration. For those who suggest this is related to the color of his skin, I freely admit I despise Barack Obama, but only over the Red color of his politics. As for skin color, it has no significance to me.
Conservatives blast Liberals over the Death Penalty. Hard corps Socialist and Communists like Hitler, Castro and Stalin has a solid history of branding their political enemies as criminals and executing them by the millions.
Barack Obama has never taken a public stand against the death penalty. Is Obama capable of using that awesome power to kill his political enemies? Why must we wait and find out? This power needs to be taken away from our government. Sooner or later all governments abuse the death penalty and history teaches this reality redundantly.
During my early years in law enforcement murders were routinely cleared at the 85 percent level. Nearly 40 years later the murder clearance rate has stalled at 35 percent.
That seems crazy since today we have the refined investigative tools of DNA, high resolution surveillance cameras and nearly every American leaves a constant data trail with every purchase or trip on a toll road. Add to that that data can be cross checked with the surveillance video and absolute alibi evidence can often easily be established.
Notoriously unreliable eye-witness identification has been all but phased out by modern technology. The inescapable conclusion is that we have imprisoned and killed thousands of innocent people in America because of a flawed criminal justice system we love to boast about.
We can get along fine without the death penalty and save billions for the legal appeals our justice system demands. It’s far cheaper to keep people locked up for life or until they're too old and infirmed to cause harm.
If Barack Obama was really a simple Liberal he’d have condemned the death penalty long ago. Obama is not what he has been advertised and should not have the ultimate tool of tyranny.

Living In A Socialist Country? Wear The Right T-Shirt!
Los Angeles, CA—The latest rage or in some cases outrage is the artistic rendering of the Chairman, Barack Obama.
You can have this shipped to your door for a mere $28.00. All you have to do is send a money order (no checks, pay-pal or credit cards) to:
Paul Huebl
PO BOX 24055
Los Angeles, CA 90024.
Be the first Obamanomics protester on your block to pay proper homage to this total Bolshevik that occupies our Whitehouse. Fight tyranny!
LAPD Police Chief William Bratton Suddenly Walks Off The Job.
Los Angeles, CA—William Bratton announced his resignation just one year into a three-year term as LAPD’s top cop. The move is said to enable Bratton to take a post in private security.
Bratton seems to have avoided scandal, labor problems or out-of-control crime during his reign. The ride of peace and prosperity is rapidly coming to a close in the land of free money for slackers. Leaving now makes perfect sense for the 61 year-old in light of a bleak future for Los Angeles.
As California releases many tens of thousands of criminals from its prisons crime can be expected to rise off the charts. The convicts will be released into a bankrupt state that has chased far too many employers away through extortionate taxation. That’s a recipe for a total catastrophe. Bratton knows this and that he’s be better off anywhere away from the once Golden State.
This move has caught Los Angeles public officials by surprise. He also recently put his home up for sale. They will now have to scramble to find a replacement.
With California’s gun laws that protect criminals, law abiding citizens better rethink their following the unconstitutional gun prohibitions. Police will never be able to contain crime or provide reasonable protection for the public. Angelinos will have little choice but judicious use of self-help. It may be time to take one of the training programs offered by the NRA.
Bratton is expected to hold a press conference at noon today (PST). I don’t expect much light to be shed on his stunning departure.

On Meeting Clint Eastwood Today In Westwood…
Los Angeles, CA--Shopping with his wife is one of my all time favorite actors, Clint Eastwood. They were shopping at the Whole Foods in Westwood Village. I quietly complimented him on his achievements and let him shop in peace.
Eastwood extended his hand for a handshake and flashed a broad smile. As much as I wanted to have his wife take a picture of him and me it would have made a spectacle of his shopping so I ruled that out.

Obama In Popularity Free Fall
Washington, DC—As Americans begin to see past the smiling façade of Barack Obama his sinister goals are becoming obvious.
Instead of lifting the tax burdens of Americans to stimulate the economy Obama lined the pockets of crooked bankers, brokers and auto industry executives. This paralyzed the honest business competitors ending fair competition and our coveted free market.
With the increase of impoverished immigrants along with the success of our teachers unions, our electorate has become increasingly ignorant. The majority of voters can’t name the three branches of the American government. They can’t begin to understand government.
American’s collective ignorance made is easy for the former community organizer to emerge from the most corrupt political organization in America to be President. All it took was plenty of money from Communist nations and American media shills in lockstep with a Socialist agenda.
The nebulous Hope & Change agenda was only a mask for a new Marxist model. Failed political ideas with a new face, does not somehow make for a good way of life.
The cornerstone for Obama’s Socialist agenda is the hostile government takeover of the medical, pharmaceutical and insurance industries. Americans are now learning how destructive and expensive Obama’s plans are and are making themselves heard.
As Obama’s ratings deteriorate the stock market shows signs of hope. The only way to save America is to get rid of Obama, Pelosi and Reid, whatever that takes. These Communists want to enslave America under the yoke of their Marxist dream.
Communism breeds poverty and poverty breeds Communism. The middle class must be eliminated to achieve their enemy-alien goals. Remember Germany overwhelmingly supported the Hope & Change promise of Adolf Hitler. History is repeating itself
A Lonely Walk In Westwood By UCLA
Los Angeles, CA—Westwood Village is the neighborhood where UCLA is located. I took a walk there the other day with my little $200.00 Flip HD camera. The music reflects my unusual demeanor that day.
Westwood has been hit hard by the economy’s troubles as two of its many grand and historic theaters will be closing. Please enjoy the sights and sounds.

Chicago’s Local News Outlets Protect Criminals And Endanger The Public
Chicago, IL—A woman is raped, robbed and left for dead in a Chicago alley. A reliable witness comes forward and gives police a solid description of the criminal they need to capture. Police give the full description to the local news reporters.
The reporters in their zeal refuse to provide the simplest identifying characteristic of the assailant, his race. In Chicago race alone can eliminate perhaps a million potential suspects. Political correctness and the criminal are protected so others may be victimized.
Political correctness and racial sensitivity is much more important to Chicago’s journalists than public safety and the truth.
If the suspect is a White man much less attention needs to be given to local Black men.
Filtering of news is what they do under Nazi or Communist governments. Perhaps if the criminals are apprehended and the crimes cease there will be less news to be report.
Each identifier eliminates droves potential suspects, sex, race, height, weight or build, eye and hair colors are important. Clothing descriptions are also helpful.
Please give the entire description so the public will know who to report or watch so they are not victims.
I have never heard of a single valid journalistic reason to withhold this important information from viewers and reader. This has just been a pathetic practice that needs to end.
Paul Kersey, You’re Needed In Chicago’s Lincoln Park Neighborhood
Chicago, IL—In this lawless town trying to win Olympic games, roving bands of Ghetto Rats are preying upon White people. There have been numerous incidents where the cowardly Black and Hispanic predators have ambushed, severely beaten and robbed White people out walking at night.
I’m calling on that icon from those Charles Bronson Death Wish films, to come and exterminate these rats. Okay Kersey is a fictional character, but we need a real one right now with an unregistered .45 semi-automatic handgun and the skills to use it effectively. Don’t ever attempt this with a small caliber gun!
To our new hero, dress nicely while you walk and act intimidated so you can be proper bait. As they approach don’t give them the slightest chance to move before you fire no less than two shots into each offender. If they are not motionless give them some more hot lead. Simply leave the area and avoid the police after you’ve completed you assignment.
You not need be a male to fill this role and couples are encouraged to make the hood rats uncomfortable as possible. Perhaps they will return to their own neighborhoods if any survive.
If this sounds drastic, it is. This is about survival of the fittest and the Ghetto Rats are too nasty and stupid to be allowed to live.
By the way this would be justifiable homicide.
Be smart, carry a handgun, the life you save may be your own!
Black Book (2006), A Belated Crimefile Film Review
Los Angeles, CA—I don’t know how this film escaped my notice until I caught it on the Cable channel, Encore.
Perhaps distribution and marketing was limited because most of the film is in Dutch and German with English subtitles.
Black Book (2006), is based on a true adventure during World War Two. Director Paul Verhoeven (Basic Instinct, Robo Cop and Total Recall) directed this film with a superb ensemble cast led by the stunning Carice Van Houten.
This is a spy thriller about a beautiful young Jewish singer, played by Van Houten that is trapped in Nazi occupied Holland who joins the Dutch underground out of sheer necessity to survive.
Van Houten’s character suffers every unimaginable threat as she becomes tangled in a plot of Nazi criminals even worse than Hitler’s closest henchmen if that was somehow possible. The actors playing the bad guys were as good as they get.
The acting, costumes and historical detail were impeckable and second to none. The script was a masterpiece.
I have to say Black Book was on the top the best seven films I have ever seen. Don’t rent it, buy it for your personal film library.
Carice Van Houten is very busy making more films right now. She has what it takes to be the greatest leading lady ever.

Chicago’s Negroes Are Dying To Die.
Chicago, IL--After one of the coldest July's ever, Chicago’s lawless negroes did not let the enjoyment of record low temperatures deter them from their form of self-genocide. Total gun bans notwithstanding Chicago, is an overactive war zone this summer.
The latest example involves the critical wounding of six people celebrating the “life” of a local gang icon and hood rat who died due to obesity and heart problems.
The Gospel Truth Life Church at 5301 W. Madison was overloaded with admirers of the dead troll as a rival gang gunslinger opened fire.
Now the taxpayers get to eat millions of dollars of medical bills for the wounded boyz of the hood.
Will someone please teach these lads marksmanship? Pauper’s funerals are a lot cheaper than hospital life support and neurosurgery.
By the way, someone tell Mayor Daley his gun laws are only obeyed by the law abiding.
Perhaps if we hold the Olympics in Chicago there should be a new sport added. Perhaps it could be the Ghetto Shoot, Loot And Scoot Event.
Marina City, A City within A City
Chicago, IL--Shortly after returning home from Germany and the Army as a lad in the 1970’s, I had several friends who lived at this world class landmark. Two twin 60-story towers majestically rose in the skyline at State Street and Wacker Drive.
This awesome home was part of 900 apartments above a 900 boat marina, three movie theaters, restaurants, drug and grocery stores, dry cleaners, barber shop, health club, ice skating rink and a bowling alley.
During the summer I was lucky enough to have two pals with powerboats and we’d take some hot gals out for great weekends on the lake. We’d either stay in St. Joe/Benton harbor, MI or Madison and Milwaukee, WI. We really partied on those trips.
In Chicago’s notorious winters you never needed to leave home unless you had to commute to a job somewhere. Of course most of my neighbors never had to walk more than a few blocks to work since so many employers were located were also located downtown. Snow removal downtown was always the number one priority for Chicago.
The best kept secret was the rent control program that made Marina City an incredible bargain over other less grand high rises in Chicago. My one-bedroom apartment only cost me $245.00 per month when I moved in. Tenants came from a long waiting list of well screened people. Yes, it took some clout to get inside.
Later it became a condominium development and I bought my apartment for a mere $44,100.00. Today that’s just the price of a good car!
Things have changed over the years and public corruption caused difficulties for the owners that had no control over the commercial portion of the property. It seems things finally got resolved and improved there.
I dated some really beautiful young women I met while living there and even got married there on one particularly cold night when the entire Lake Michigan froze over.
St. Patrick’s Day, and the boat parades with grand fireworks insured that we had the best parties anywhere.
Like the dozen or so other cops that lived in the building I got free parking the entire time I lived there. We coppers were able to park and retrieve our own cars rather than rely on the overworked car hikers. That was no small perk.
An Arizona business opportunity came as I opened my detective agency in Phoenix. Yes, I still look back and want to somehow recapture my youth.
Who could ever forget the spectacular scene from Steve McQueen’s last movie, The Hunter. Watch that scene right here.
I want to thank Steven Dahlman for the use of his picture. Dahlman has put together a great website with the history of Marina City in words, great photographs and videos.

During the summer I was lucky enough to have two pals with powerboats and we’d take some hot gals out for great weekends on the lake. We’d either stay in St. Joe/Benton harbor, MI or Madison and Milwaukee, WI. We really partied on those trips.
In Chicago’s notorious winters you never needed to leave home unless you had to commute to a job somewhere. Of course most of my neighbors never had to walk more than a few blocks to work since so many employers were located were also located downtown. Snow removal downtown was always the number one priority for Chicago.
The best kept secret was the rent control program that made Marina City an incredible bargain over other less grand high rises in Chicago. My one-bedroom apartment only cost me $245.00 per month when I moved in. Tenants came from a long waiting list of well screened people. Yes, it took some clout to get inside.
Later it became a condominium development and I bought my apartment for a mere $44,100.00. Today that’s just the price of a good car!
Things have changed over the years and public corruption caused difficulties for the owners that had no control over the commercial portion of the property. It seems things finally got resolved and improved there.
I dated some really beautiful young women I met while living there and even got married there on one particularly cold night when the entire Lake Michigan froze over.
St. Patrick’s Day, and the boat parades with grand fireworks insured that we had the best parties anywhere.
Like the dozen or so other cops that lived in the building I got free parking the entire time I lived there. We coppers were able to park and retrieve our own cars rather than rely on the overworked car hikers. That was no small perk.
An Arizona business opportunity came as I opened my detective agency in Phoenix. Yes, I still look back and want to somehow recapture my youth.
Who could ever forget the spectacular scene from Steve McQueen’s last movie, The Hunter. Watch that scene right here.
I want to thank Steven Dahlman for the use of his picture. Dahlman has put together a great website with the history of Marina City in words, great photographs and videos.
