Why Restraining Orders Are Worthless In Stalking Cases

Orange County, FL-- Brevard County Circuit Court Judge Dean Moxley refused to issue a restraining order requested by a former Hooter’s waitress, Alissa Blanton, who had recently married. The judge felt that the petition was inadequate and ordered a hearing while declining the temporary order.

A 61 year-old stalker, Roger Troy shot the 23 year-old woman to death in her new employer’s parking lot. Troy took his own life immediately afterwards.

Now many people want to blame Judge Moxley for the woman’s murder. The blame is wrongly assigned here.

I have personally served thousands of restraining orders in similar situations. Despite serving the documents several people I served assaulted and even murdered the court protected victims. In one case I heard the gunshot as I served one man. He put a gun to his head seconds after I brought him the order.

Women’s rights groups demanded and got laws for restraining orders and to combat stalkers. These cases involve disturbed people who are in both real and imagined relationships. The key element here is disturbed people. By definition disturbed people are not rational and can be dangerous. The restraining orders are useless and prevent nothing.

The victims of stalkers are not always blameless. Some “victims” enable and even taunt their abusers bringing the violence on themselves. The mentally ill are victimizing the mentally ill.

There is a huge amount of abuse by people using the restraining order process to victimize the innocent.

Victims of real stalkers need to recognize when the problem is beyond the ability of the police and courts to protect them. Self help and sometimes relocating may be the only way to survive.

I have learned that when a stalker is beyond embarrassment he or she is really dangerous. Thankfully people on the edge don’t want their families, friends or employers to know about their behavior. Those people will stop with the mere threat of exposure.

We live in a free society and can’t deprive others of liberty because of fears of what they might do in the future. Victims need to report the conduct to police. Then they need to examine self-help solutions including obtaining firearms and the training to use them. Restraining orders are only made of flimsy paper. Law-abiding people behave without them. Dangerous people are never less dangerous because of restraining orders. Police rarely catch stalkers in the act enabling arrest. Our safety is ours, not the government’s responsibility.

Judge Moxly should not be a scapegoat for an unworkable program. Had he granted the order the result would have been the same.

Hooter’s Girls Deserve Better

Okay it’s a tough economy but One Hooter’s establishment had a work environment that must never be allowed.

Yes, I view the Hooter’s girls as a form of entertainment, but that should never degenerate into something ugly.

Undercover Boss is a reality show that provided insight into dehumanization of some young women trying to make an honest living. Hooters should always be a fun place to dine or work. What I saw was anything but fun.

Let’s hope lessons were learned by management and staff alike. Nobody deserves to be part of a carnival side show.

Are You A Law And Order Kind Of Guy? Perhaps You’re Not-- A Conservative!

There are those folks who insist they are Conservative when they are far from that philosophy. A true Conservative cherishes freedom, liberty and demands limited government.

Progressives, Socialists and rogue control freaks uniformly want to police each other and the entire world.

Socialists and Progressives love to make laws to control every aspect of everyone’s life. Conservatives don’t believe in making victimless crimes for regulating narcotics, gambling, and prostitution. Victimless crime enforcement costs taxpayers hundreds of billions and creates criminal organizations. The byproduct is these laws is out-of-control public corruption.

Conservatives believe in the Bill of Rights that protects Americans from unlawful searches, gives the right to keep and bear arms and full due process for the accused. Socialists find the Bill of Rights as a giant hindrance to their Police State.

Socialists can’t function without the death penalty. Socialists never have enough prison space.

Too many Law and Order Types have nothing in common with real Conservatives.

Arizona’s Prisoners Silenced By Soviet Style Secrecy Policy

Phoenix, AZ—Prisoners within the Arizona Department of Corrections including those condemned are not allowed to give interviews for television. Is this punishment or a successful effort to hide information?

Some suggest that crime victims would be victimized by seeing such interviews. I say that’s pure hogwash. Even the residents of the notorious Texas Death Row are allowed to speak to the media.

Most defense lawyers don’t like their clients talking until they are out of jeopardy because prosecutors can use the statements at any retrials. Convicts for the most part want to remain out of the public’s collective and short memory.

There are those inmates that want to plead their case for innocence directly to the public. There are also guilty prisoners that wish to express remorse and apologize for the despicable acts that got them convicted.

News organizations, not government policy should decide who will use the public forum. News editors won’t do this if they feel it is not newsworthy or if it will be abusive or hurtful to victims and their families.

To not allow someone convicted to raise doubts about their innocence is cruel and un-American. We’d expect this kind of policy in China or some old Soviet Gulag but never in a free country.

I have not done a state by state survey on this issue but California went the route of the Soviet Gulags years ago too. California does not believe in public records either as they operate in secret like the Communist governments they emulate.

I have to ask, Just what is Arizona hiding?

Why Is Meg Whitman Running As A Republican?

Sacramento, CA—Meg Whitman, billionaire and former CEO of EBAY is a George Soros style, Progressive Leftist. Whitman has aspirations to be California's next Republican Governor.

Whitman hates gun rights and wants taxpayers to pay for abortions and bigger government. Whitman is a pretender who will use her money to fund a campaign avoiding the Leftist agenda she supports. Uneducated voters will cast their ballot for the name they hear most often rather than issues.

There is nothing within the Republican Party that Whitman supports so why is she running as a Republican? The Republican Party needs to come out and expose this fake candidate.

Whitman can be counted on to shift policy away from what the founding fathers gave us. Whitman can be counted on to guarantee the concept of a Police State for California. Whitman’s mentality is exactly what’s wrong with California. I say vote for anyone other than Whitman.

Ignorant Press and Police Paint Hero As A Racist

Chicago, IL—Ted Kozak is a hero on his way to Stateville Prison perhaps as early as Monday to begin serving a prison term for mere possession of two collector’s war relics.

They were two prized sub-machine guns of World War Two that put Kozak in conflict with Illinois law. Illinois has banned the two collector’s items in violation of the Second Amendment to the US Constitution. Because of the state ban The Federal government will not allow registration of taxable weapons creating a bizarre “Catch 22” problem. That is why Federal gun laws are virtually unenforceable in Illinois. The appellate court process must deal with this at some point.

Sun-times reporters Frank Main and Rummana Hussain really failed to understand this story and misinformed their readers in a huge way on the Kozak story.

The most egregious part of the Sun Times story was this passage, “Posters of Adolf Hitler, a bulletproof vest with a swastika patch, a German helmet and other Nazi items were found in his home, too.” Collectors of war guns also collect the other captured items such as flags, uniforms, medals, personal letters and photographs. American collectors celebrate the victory over National Socialism and it’s despots.

The celebration of WWII through memorabilia by military collectors is to cherish the victory over a vile government and political ideal. Thankfully the good guys won that war.

There are those stupid racists and morons that celebrate Adolph Hitler, but to suggest Ted Kozak is part of that is pure slander and to publish that is libelous.

Ted Kozak never once asked about the race or religion of the men, women and children trapped in burning buildings before he went in and rescued them.

Now that Kozak will be entering a prison system where 90% of the population is African-American the erroneous Sun-Times report has placed him in danger by labeling him as a racist.

The offensive and libelous story can be found here.

Now Obama Wants To Track Your Cell Phone

Washington, DC-Barack Obama’s true colors are showing as his administration is quietly giving itself more authority over American’s private lives. They want to track your movements without a warrant by your cell phone. They don’t believe you have an expatiation of privacy.

The world’s most infamous despots would envy Obama's control over technology to track every person that does not agree with them.

Anyone who was foolish to believe that Obama would respect civil liberties better than George W. Bush was living in Fantasy Land. Bush brought us that vile Patriot Act but Obama has only expanded it and now this new outrage.

Stop Obama before he does more!

Surviving A Shooting Only Was Half The Battle

Paradise Valley, AZ—Serving court summonses and other documents can be dangerous. Sometimes the people you must serve are drunk, on drugs, angry and of course armed. Even good people don’t like bad news.

I had to serve an eviction summons on a man and his wife that had not paid rent on a large expensive home for seven months. The man was a white collar criminal who had just lost two expensive cars to the repo man who was now looking for the man’s new Chevrolet Suburban.

Legally drunk and at the end of his rope the man intended to punish me for his troubles. As I served his wife he was out trying to cut the tires of my car. I served the summons and was returning to my car in near total darkness. The angry, drunken man approached me and pistol-whipped me in the head with a .45 semi-automatic.

I was cut and bleeding from two head wounds as I drew my own five shot .38 Smith & Wesson Bodyguard and ordered him to drop his gun twice. Instead he pointed his gun at me and I emptied mine into him. He never fell or dropped his gun although he was critically wounded.

The shooting investigation proved far too big a challenge for a corrupt, inept and incredibly stupid detective of the 23 man, Paradise Valley Police department. That cop had been fired from no less than four police departments and also had a criminal record!

After 18 months the case was resolved when the man I had to shoot and his daughter plead guilty to Perjury, Evidence and Witness Tampering.

This event made me an even stronger gun rights advocate. It also reinforced my own advice to others to never tell police anything beyond asking for a lawyer.

Chicago Firefighter Gets Four Years In Prison

Chicago, IL—The Gulag has yet another political prisoner tonight. For engaging in constitutionally protected activity a political hack in a black robe, appointed by the Daley/Burke crime families ordered honorably retired firefighter Ted Kozak off to Stateville Prison.

Kozak never hurt, threatened, stole from or otherwise victimized anyone. He held two prize collector’s items for a Chicago cop who was hospitalized and later died. The items were a Thompson sub-machine gun and a Sten gun. Both are banned in Illinois but may be owned in most of free America.

The guns were never used in crimes and were kept locked in a vault. Kozak had a stellar career and is a genuine hero.

The jailing of Kozak is a huge waste of money, prison space and serves no good purpose. Kozak would have merely continued his life as a good taxpaying and honest American.

Next will be the appeal which will take longer to litigate than Kozak will spend in prison. Four years will get Kozak little more than a year behind bars. The rub here is that Kozak will be unable to care for his ailing mother.

Kozak should have been allowed to remain free pending appeal. The gun convictions involve anything but settled law. But the slime that contaminates City Hall want an example made of the fireman the same way that Adolph Hitler’s People’s Court did with those who dared to disagree with the Third Reich. Are we somehow going to feel safer tonight?

Why Hire Worthless Unarmed Security Guards?

Seattle, WA—There was a time when American security guards were all armed. The crime rate was really low but if you’re going to hire someone to prevent crime he needed to be properly equipped to do so. Otherwise, why bother at all? Insurance companies began penalizing businesses with armed guards for profit rather than risk.

The gun haters could not handle the sight of anyone armed anywhere like EBAY’s Meg Whitman who is now running for California’s Governor’s office. Whitman had unarmed security and also banned the marketing of firearms on EBAY.

The disarming of Las Vegas casino guards has led to numerous takeover robberies and killings of tourists. Slowly guns have been returning to some casinos security departments. I guess they learned guns save lives.

Schools all across America have unarmed people in security uniforms that are incapable of being more than potential hostages. We protect cash with guns but are most precious children get unarmed, pretend police and zero protection.

A Seattle bus platform became the scene of a horrible videotaped beating of a 15 year-old girl while three uniformed, observe and report bozos simply watched the girl get kicked in the head repeatedly. These security guards facilitated the crime rather than interfere and help a victim. Tax dollars were wasted on these worthless dopes.

This is an issue of political mindset that created this condition. The people that truly deserved the beating promulgated the gun free pretend security policy. It’s not too late to visit some serious punishment on the gun hating criminal enablers. They are far worse than the criminals.

$30 Million Lotto Winner Was A Giant Loser

Polk County, FL-- Abraham Shakespeare was an illiterate, petty criminal living hand to mouth as a trucker’s helper. His life changed in a big way when we won the Lotto jackpot. He got a $17 million cash payout.

Shakespeare became more popular than a rock star to people that knew him. Then there were his brand new friends like, DeeDee Moore.

Moore claimed her new friend went into hiding after giving her a $ 1 million dollar cash gift. The bad news is they found Shakespeare’s hiding place. He apparently must have buried himself under a concrete slab on property owned by his new “friend” and her boyfriend. By the way our lottery winner was very dead. Medical examiners are trying to rule out lottery fever as a cause of death at this hour.

Somehow I suspect that DeeDee is scrambling to hire a good criminal lawyer right now.

Pink Slips Set To Rain On Phoenix Police And Firefighters

Phoenix, AZ—Decades of wasteful spending has caught up with that tax and spend mayor and city council. Taj Mahal building projects along with an ambitious and unneeded light rail system put this city in bankruptcy. Of course the local politicians never wanted for campaign contributions from those profiting from out-of-control pork spending.

The Phoenix Police Department had 400 vacancies as it was and now they are firing an additional 350 sworn officers. The department is reading to collect badges, guns and other equipment from the officers they’ve spent millions to train.

This will be the first time in the city’s history that sworn officers are being laid off.

As this is happening releasing prisoners is on the negotiation table. Thankfully people in Arizona can carry concealed weapons and have seen self-defense laws beefed up in recent times.

144 Phoenix firefighters will also find themselves out of work. It may be a good time to invest in fire extinguishers and examine insurance policies.

Somehow I don’t see criminals taking over the city any time soon. In the last couple of days Phoenix homeowners have sent a couple of home invaders off to meet their makers.

As neighbors learn to protect neighbors the bad guys may find themselves on the endangered species list. Perhaps we will need more body bags and fewer prison cells.

Credit should go right where it is due, to Mayor Phil Gordon and his cohorts.

American High Speed Rail And The TSA

Washington, DC—Barack Obama wants to spend billions on high speed railroad for passenger movement in the USA. High speed rail works everywhere well. There is a unique departure from the rest of the world in the USA. Under present conditions this type of rail system will fail here.

We in the USA have allowed the TSA to do their little Nazi thing to American rail passengers. Searching airline passengers like criminals has cost the airlines as Americans have avoided flying and the indignity of submitting to police state frisking. Bankruptcies have plagued or airlines ever since.

I for one will not travel by any transportation where I must submit to searching unless I have no other choice.

We don’t need the TSA on our trains and should remove them at once. If the TSA is included in the rail the system will never realize its potential and taxpayers will suffer as usual.

Of Course even in today’s Germany you can board a fast, comfortable and enjoyable ride without being treated by a criminal.

In November I took a marvelous train ride from Berlin to Karlsruhe Germany. I was treated with dignity and class and can’t wait to take my next trip this way. I don’t want to live in a police state.

Here are some highlights to my fabulous train ride. My friends Andrea and Reinhardt brought me to the train where we said goodbye. There was no frisking or indignity on this grand trip.

Obama’s Big Speech Is His Second Presidential Campaign

Washington, DC—With the failure of his agenda despite a Congressional super majority Barack Obama has moved on with the promise of tax breaks he will never deliver. He rallied for small business with more hollow promises and rambled on for a very long time.

He confronted and insulted the Supreme Court over their recent free speech ruling that scuttled the McCain/Feingold, Incumbent Protection Act. Free speech of course is a Socialist’s worst nightmare.

Obama came off as he did in the 2008 Campaign as an empty suit.

Obama is facing mass defections by Democrats who will be paying dearly for ignoring or belittling constituents at Town Hall meetings.

Free speech is exactly what may well prevent the Obama, Socialism sales job, from putting America under a Red Socialist flag. Obama is finding out that unlike Adolph Hitler, he’s not going to see a peaceful Socialist revolution. Obama is learning that he will only be able to achieve that by battling armed Americans.

Obama is still willing to recklessly print money and destroy the economy to create a Perfect Storm as there was during Germany’s Weimar Republic. A desperate and hungry population embraced National Socialism, wealth redistribution and the end to freedom, liberty and humanity.

We are not out of the woods yet as far as Obama blight is concerned. We must be ever vigilant. The cancer of Socialism must be destroyed.

Scrapping Front Vehicle License Plates Saves Taxpayer’s Millions

Springfield, IL—Illinois is considering ending the requirement for the front plate on cars and trucks. This is a fiscally responsible move that’s long overdue.

The primary reason for front license plates has been the intense lobbying effort of the 3M Company, holder of the patent for the special reflective paint every state uses in their manufacturing process.

The rear plate is adequate for police plate reading software and the photo traffic extortion revenue programs.

In addition to their political lobbying and generous campaign contributions, the 3M Company exhibits at the Nations Sheriff’s and IACP conventions where they recruit police administrators to preserve the unnecessary and expensive front plates.

The States of California and Texas would reap the biggest cash bonanza by scrapping the front plate. Contact your legislature if you live in a state that requires two plates and help them curb the wasteful practice.

The State Of The Union And Presidency Is In A Shambles

Washington, DC—So far the Obama Administration chose the road of despotism over democracy. The massive destruction of our currency and economy was intentional so Obama could rebuild in a Socialist model. Free speech by Internet bloggers, and the likes of Glen Beck has rung an alarm that has obstructed Obama’s Socialist revolutionary goals.

The problem for Obama now is that too many Americans are refusing to surrender the form of government our founding fathers sacrificed so much to give us. The Socialist flags and the wake of holocausts that always follow, threaten peace and prosperity. Obama’s Hope and Change is no different than that offered by Stalin, Hitler, Mao and Castro.

Obama has to deal with Armed Americans and elections he can’t control. The consequences of Obama’s continued efforts to destroy our representative republic may destroy well Obama first.

Obama’s State of The Union Address will be interesting. Will this President be a lame duck for the remainder of his term or will he change direction? Thankfully Obama and his czars seemed to have set the Left Wing back 70 years. Only a successful Leftist Coup d'état can save Obama’s agenda now

California’s Onion Field Cop Killer Up For Parole

San Luis Obispo, CA—Today California parole officials will consider releasing Gregory Powell 47 years after he and his crime partner, Jimmy Lee Smith kidnapped LAPD Hollywood Division detectives Karl Hettinger and Ian Campbell at gunpoint in Los Angeles.

In March of 1963 the two criminals drove the captive officers up to farmer’s field just outside of Bakersfield and the trip culminated in an attempt to execute them. Hettinger was able to escape but Campbell was brutally murdered by the salt and pepper pair.

Originally Powell and Smith were sentenced to death but after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the famous Fuhrman vs. Georgia case the cop killers were given life and the possibility of parole.

Smith was paroled several times but kept reoffending and died in prison in 2007.

Powell never made parole and blamed former LAPD cop and author, Joseph Wambaugh for bringing him too much publicity and wrecking his chances for parole after the book and movie The Onion Field were released.

Powell who is 76 years-old educated himself in prison as an effective jailhouse lawyer and judging by some of his correspondence I have read he seems to have excellent writing skills. Powell spent most of his life behind bars and if the police protective league has their say he will stay in prison.

This update from the AP!
A California Board of Prison Terms panel found the 76-year-old Powell unsuitable for parole Wednesday after a hearing at the California Men's Colony at San Luis Obispo. It was his 12th parole hearing.

Deputy District Attorney Alexis de la Garza, who was at the hearing, said the denial was for three years.

Drew Peterson Hearing Is Theater Of The Bizarre

Joliet, Il—Retired Bolingbrook police sergeant, Drew Peterson is being subjected to the worst kind of judicial experimentation in any American court. This is now playing in a new theater that was once a Joliet courtroom. This sensational production is something right out of the spectacular Salem Witch Trials of 1692.

Peterson is charged with murder in connection with the suspicious death of his third wife. The cause of that woman’s death is far from settled since medical experts can’t agree on how she died.

Peterson’s fourth wife has been missing for more than a year and was involved in several extra-marital relationships. Is she dead? Was it Peterson or perhaps a married paramour of the fourth wife that is responsible?

The Illinois Legislature created an extra legal end run now called The Drew Peterson Law to deny the suspect any right to confront witnesses against his as guaranteed by our Constitution. A Joliet Illinois judge knows the political wind would shift against him for reelection if he does not go along with railroading the hapless Drew Peterson.

Prosecutors are putting on The Drew Peterson Hate Show utilizing everyone in the world that does not like Drew Peterson. The result is a firestorm of the worst kind of gossip that’s being blast over the major media megaphones to an ignorant public. The result will be the loss of any hope that Peterson can get a fair trial.

Is the arrogant Drew Peterson and his mugging for inquiring media photographers a good reason to destroy the Constitutional protections so many Americans have fought and died to protect? Never lose sight of the reality that you or someone you love may be the next to star in this kind of show.

Blondie Says, “The Tide Is High!”

When I was in Berlin during the 20 year Wall Fest Celebration in November this great song was played. It was perfect music for the celebration. I give you two videos, one from the Wall Fest and the other from a Blondie concert. It’s difficult to believe by Debora Harry is 65 years-old now. This song really rocks.
