Panic In Lala Land

Los Angeles, CA—In a Nanny Government orgy, the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services has gone bananas on an investigation involving the Jackson family children.

According to TMZ.com, the 13 year-old son of Jermaine Jackson bought an electronic stun gun over the Internet. When the child welfare bureaucrats found out they went into a total tizzy.

The non-lethal device hurt nobody and the sky did not fall except over the heads of the overpaid government do-gooders who raced to conduct a major investigation and confiscate the little shocker.

Jackson family members my yet find themselves in court over this nuclear over-reaction to a non-event.

I guess the losers hired to protect Los Angeles children need to take a ride out to America’s farmland where 12 year-olds have their own .22 rifles and use more powerful cattle prods to control farm animals.

Yes, the little guy wanted a James Bond defensive device to call his own but that should not be the government’s concern unless or until the device is misused. In L.A.’s school districts I suspect packing a stun gun for protection may slow down the school bullies who may otherwise actually injure the kid.

Apparently there is also a government panic that the kids have access to the Internet sans adult supervision. I guess they don’t like to see kids learn more than they are spoon-fed at the local public schools where the educational levels are another national embarrassment.

I assume they think they are protecting kids from porn. I wonder how many children living on Americas farms have watched animals engaging in sexual activity without growing up to become axe murderers.

The L.A. County's Children and Family services, I say chill out!

New Gun Stores In Chicago?

Chicago, IL—I think it’s a safe prediction that Chicago’s gun ban will fall. The sales of these constitutionally protected items can be expected inside the city’s limits.

If you’re old enough to remember Chicago had stores that sold handguns. Marshall Field’s, Sport’s Incorporated, H. H. Harris Company and the venerable Abercrombie & Fitch were the ones that come to mind. Sadly these businesses stopped selling guns or were run out of town.

Chicago back then had an equally unconstitutional requirement that handgun buyers had a Permit to Purchase issued by the Chicago Police Department. The permits were reserved only for police and licensed security workers. The Chicago gun dealers could only ship the guns to addresses outside Chicago for those who lacked the Police Permit to Purchase. .

The reality was that Chicagoans wanting handguns simply went out to the suburbs and purchased them there. Of course Chicago gained no benefit of the sales taxes or people employed at these stores.

Chicago’s despots can be counted upon to promulgate every kind of obstruction to any decision of the Supreme Court. That’s the nature of lawless and tyrannical politicians since the beginning of time. It’s never often enough that such tyrants are removed by force by angry citizens.

Thanks to Galco International for the use of their own Lady Liberty!

Our Police State and your private communication records.

I have said before we live in a Police State. Here is more solid evidence of the tyranny we seem to accept without question.

Before E-mail and cell phones government had no access to anything but toll call records. Data collection was impossible and prohibitively expensive for communications companies. Today however that’s all changed since your movements, phone calls and internet communications are all set in stone. Your private information is being stored in bottomless data storage facilities.

Now it’s open season on all of our private communications records. It is the routine for government to obtain and use this information without a search warrant. These private records are used in administrative, civil or petty criminal matters.

The abuse of this information is endless. There is no private investigator worth his salt that can’t get this private information just to satisfy some client’s curiosity The privacy invasion is both un-American and unacceptable.

There is only one cure. We need to enact legislation at state and federal level that prohibits e-mail, web chat and phone providers from keeping the records beyond the time their subscribers have paid their bills. Further any use in courtrooms of this data must be precluded.

Enterprising Bloggers Needed To Expose Corruption

So many Americans criticize the mainstream media for not exposing corruption in government. That’s true in too many cases but in the last ten years it’s not due entirely to their sympatric relationship with the Leftist politicians.

The real reason is enterprising news reporting takes money and resources. There is a depression in the news business these days that make reporting anything difficult. Newsrooms have had their manpower slashed by half over the last decade and things are only getting worse.

This creates great opportunities for bloggers to do what the TV news and print organizations can no longer do. It costs little or nothing for you to cover a story in your back yard. News organizations must spend a bundle just for reporters commuting to their stories.

Finding and publishing public records maintained in government records and databases is always safe as long as you credit the agency keeping the records as the source. You have no liability for erroneous or falsified public records as long as you did not create them.

Learn how to use those great and inexpensive Flip HD cameras. Editing video is easier than ever. If you have a Mac computer, any Apple Store will give you free lessons on editing video.

Carry your little camera at all times and when in doubt get the video. The next step is uploading it to a host such as YouTube. Once the video is uploaded, grab the embedded code and insert that into your blog.

It’s not enough just to point and shoot the camera. You must interview people that are either witnesses or involved in the story you are covering. Never forget to ask the people you talk to if they know anyone with inside information about your story.

You must be careful not to personally endorse the statements of witnesses you publish or you may be held responsible if they mislead you. Rather than saying someone is corrupt, your story can play it safe with, “Public records (or former employee) raise conflict of interest questions about photo radar enforcement contracts.”

Every television newsroom in the nation has gone the way of the Video Journalist or Backpacker Journalist. Reporters with producers and film crews are becoming endangered species. Today they send out one reporter with camera to do it all. I say it can be done and done well if the VJ is committed to bring in the story.

Bloggers are only limited by free time, geography or the inability to share their story.

Here is a great article about how ABC News must rely on enterprising VJ’s.

Supreme Court Set To Hear Chicago’s Gun Ban Case Arguments

Washington DC—The Bill of Rights has been enshrined in America for over 200 years. This document is Americans only protection from government tyranny. The problem is our judges have been slow to strike down laws that have traded the mere promise of security over our liberty.

The Second Amendment was and is unambiguous in its strong language. Local and federal lawmakers have ignored the right to keep in bear arms enacting whatever they pleased with slim majority votes. These fools really want to repeal the Second Amendment and know Americans will never stand for that happening. So they appoint only judges that will ignore the portions of the Bill of Rights they can't tolerate.

Gun ban after gun ban has been enacted by Leftist politicians and been allowed to stand because of creative but defective reasoning that the people had a “collective” right for their government to bear arms. That ridicules analysis ignores the reality that government never needed a right to keep and bear arms. The idea fell in 2008 with the Heller Decision that made it clear that individual Americans have this right.

Now there is another equally if not more important legal question before the court. That is can state and local; governments continue ignore the Second Amendment. In general our 14th Amendment requires the states to honor the Bill of Rights but that happened, one right at a time with various cases before the United States Supreme Court. They just never got around to hearing a case on the Second Amendment until tomorrow, March 2, 2010.

It is inconceivable that the 14th Amendment only gives protections for some but not all rights. Watering down the 14th Amendment would be dangerous and allow local governments to legalize slavery or eliminate fair trials for accused Americans. This is just not a reasonable option.

The gun rights haters like Chicago’s Mayor Richard M. Daley dare suggest that outright bans like theirs are somehow reasonable controls. A ban is not control but simply a ban. The handgun ban, along with many other onerous related regulations, violates the civil rights of Americans.

There will not be any streaming audio for Americans to hear like in the Heller Case. We will have to wait until the court reporter’s, transcript of proceedings are available. When the transcript is ready I will post it here.

Don’t expect a decision from the court for several months. They could wait until just before the Summer recess in June to release and inform us of the law of the land.

A Short Cowboy Concert From Winter Range!

Phoenix, AZ—I spent about five days with cowboys from everywhere. There was a lot of riding, shooting and historical recreation buy some folks enjoying being American. This Winter Range gala happens every year at this time.

There were lawyers, doctors, plumbers, entertainers and at least one old private eye out playing cowboys and Indians on a big scale.

Here is a Cowboy Quartet telling about Wyatt Earp in song. Enjoy!

Sights And Sounds from Winter Range In Phoenix, AZ.

Phoenix, AZ—While visiting this cowboy shooting event there was something a little different. Imagine what it’s like to be a Wild West Showman’s wife…

Imagine no more while you take a peek into real cowboy marital bliss!

Sergeant Alan Haymaker’s Needless Death And Chicago’s officials.

Chicago, IL.—Town Hall is a busy police district. Cops working there like everywhere in this city are overwhelmed because of a manpower shortage.

Cops are at the mercy of the Daley/Burke Crime Families that run the town within a 50 member city council. This bunch of thieves, thugs and liars may bear serious responsibility for Sergeant Alan Haymaker’s death.

This city’s politicians once had the perfect incumbent Protection Plan. It was called patronage. They controlled nearly every city job. These workers had two functions, campaigning for the local ward boss and performing the actual work they were hired to do in the first place.

The government jobs in Chicago were all union, well paying and provided great benefits. The Federal courts took a dim view of the practice and dismantled the patronage game but only to a point. This crippled the politician’s reelection efforts and forced them to pay for campaign workers. The money for this quickly came from city contractors.

The city privatized what jobs they could and handed out huge cash contracts to their political cronies who gladly financed the campaigns and showered Chicago’s political whores with wealth. The cash was a true narcotic and spending on unneeded public works was put in overdrive.

State Street was turned into a cost prohibitive mall snarling already overloaded traffic patterns and adversely affected the stores income potential. Soon hundreds of additional millions more were wasted, turning State street back into a street.

Project after project sprang up for so called beautification that was never needed. Chicago has always had its own beauty that cost taxpayers nothing.

Huge concrete planter boxes sprang up everywhere complete with irrigation and federalization requirements for the installed plant life. There are three overwhelming problems with the planter boxes. The boxes snarl traffic, are downright dangerous and detract from the city’s natural beauty.

As a result of reckless spending by Chicago’s political prostitutes, the police department is undermanned, underfunded and crippled.

Police vehicles are in disrepair. Retreaded tires are used as officers are expected to quickly respond to hot calls where lives are on the line.

City officials found the planter boxes had another deficiency and that is the plants inside die from salt used to melt ice on Chicago’s streets. The fix here was a simple one, to skip the salt. That may have created a deadly trap for one good cop who was responding to a burglary call.

Instead of an impartial investigation of this accident and conditions leading up to it, is there a cover-up going on in Chicago right now? Many officers believe that is the case

When the Second City Cop blog and SLC publicized these facts the Mayor, Police Superintendent and others went into a rage about the revelations.

The fellow officers and family of Sergeant Haymaker will never let this outrageous act of official malfeasant conduct go unnoticed.

Chicago is in a crisis that can only be repaired when every last incumbent political creature is removed from office. Strictly enforced term limits will reduce the political corruption.

It should be a crime for any person or business to pay political contributions to any politician connected to a client’s work contract. Those businesses that work for the any should get the contracts without paying extortion to city officials.

Officer Down, Alan Haymaker.

Real Cowboys And Cowgirls Descend On Phoenix, Arizona!

Phoenix, AZ—Winter Range is held every year at this time at the World class Ben Avery Gun Range here.

Men and women come from all over the globe to return to the days of yesteryear. They wear the clothing of the period and carry and shoot the firearms of the Wild Wild West.

The properly outfitted player has two single-action revolvers, a shotgun, and a lever-action carbine. There are shooting courses that require demonstration of every weapon.

There is also the mounted cowboy shooting that combines horsemanship and shooting skills.

This event is open to the public this weekend and you will find many vendors selling everything you need to take part in this family friendly event.

Be sure to stop by and visit vendors such as Eagle Grips and Legendary Guns!

Obamacare Should Be Good Enough For Members of Congress.

Washington, DC—Barack Obama’s Socialist health care program in on the fast track to get shoved up the butts of Americans that don’t want it.

If Obamacare is so wonderful, Congress should be forced to live under it too.

Obama The All Powerful Dictator!

Washington, DC—Barack Obama is about to order insurance companies what they can charge their customers.

Low insurance rates might be nice, but in America that’s between the customer and the Insurance company. It’s called the American Free Market principal.

What’s next on this traitor’s Marxist agenda? Perhaps this despot will keep it up and yet get attested, tried, convicted and hanged.

Here is the un-American plot!

Newsgathering Tools For Bloggers

Los Angeles, CA—Many of my visitors think they can do what I do only better. Many have asked me what is needed to do so. I will reveal the not so secret needed information.

I thought I’d share with you the ultimate tools bloggers need to dazzle their visitors. The best tools will only help you if you are cleaver and aggressive enough to capture the content needed. Blogging could be a full time and well paying job if you can break news and promote your site.

You need a Computer and here I’d suggest a higher end Apple product like a Macbook Pro. A super fast Internet connection to upload video is very important.

The Iternet has great and free blog packages like Blogger or Wordpress. They provide easy instructions to get started.

You need both a video and digital camera. I suggest starting with a Flip HD model for video and a quality digital camera for high resolution stills. The Flip camera can get you in and out of difficult places without attracting attention or obstructionist security workers.

To get really great video and audio you must get a serious video Camera such as the JCV GY-H100U, High Definition camera. Whatever you get, should not use tape or DVD media. A hard drive or card media camera will make your life easy and save you hours.

If you have a higher end camera like the JVC you need one, or better yet two wireless lavalier microphones like those made by Sennheiser. Good audio is a necessity.

A tripod and two lights are a must. One is for back lighting interview subjects, and one to light the front.

Your Mackbook Pro comes with Imovie which will give you enough creative control to edit like a professional. The benefit of the Apple product is free lessons and solid support with the software at any Apple store.

You can upgrade to the industry standard Final Cut Pro that will allow you unlimited ability to do almost anything with video.

You upload your edited video on Youtube or any of the other video free hosting sites. Then you embed the video from the hosting site right into your blog with ease.

It is always better to have a helper for shooting stand-ups where you are in front of the camera. Always remember to stay conversational and not sound as though you’re reading or reciting your message. Relax and be yourself. Don’t try an emulate someone else that never works well unless you're Jim Cary.

Keep your sound bites SHORT and sweet. Place yourself in front of the action whenever you can, flat backgrounds are boring.

If you want to cover an event such as a convention get press credentials from the media relations people working with the organization you want to cover.

Don’t just film news happening. Interview the witnesses and news makers yourself. Learn how to use public records to support you stories. Shoot them and edit them into your video.

A basic Photoshop program will help you create snappy graphics for your blog.

There are schools you can attend or you can get tons of information on the Internet. Here is a handy site for more information.

You are entitled to access like any other member of the press. Get press credentials! Don't take no for an answer, ever!

Here is that sweet little JVC camera:

Mr. Obama Your Presidency Is Over

Washington, DC—You promised hope and change and divided this country like no other President in our lifetime. You brought us Socialism in giant helpings while disenfranchising the people paying for government. The taxpayers refused to fund your Marxist dream.

The people ACORN convinced to vote for you are not producers but consumers of extra-constitutional entitlement programs. They sacrifice nothing while demanding the property of those Americans paying their way. They all deserve less not more.

America’s productive citizens are rapidly learning that they need not tolerate you or your minion’s extortionate efforts to create your Marxist Utopia.

Your cronies are getting booted out at every opportunity and you know it. That's the price they are paying for ignoring taxpayer’s wishes.

You sir will be lucky to be spending the next three years living the life of a well-fed capon. Thankfully your pathetic presidency and Socialist influence is getting flushed out of the American system.

America Has Become A Police State

Americans have a short memory and those alive today don’t know what freedom was in this in this once great country.

Americans survived for nearly 175 years without identification cards or driver’s licenses. When you bought a new wallet it had a blank card you filled out so you’d get it returned to you when you lost it. There were no credit cards you used cash or checks with people and businesses that knew and trusted you.

Police could only determine who you really were by arresting you for a crime and fingerprinting you. If your prints were not already on file they had no way of knowing your identity.

It was not until the early 1980’s that you had to show identification to board a domestic flight. Illinois driver’s licenses came without photographs until 1977.

Social Security numbers were not a form of identification and were prohibited for use as such. Credit reporting and later law enforcement perverted the purpose of FDR’s Socialist retirement plan.

You could enter any building or form of transportation other than a jail or prison, including the Whitehouse without being searched like a criminal. Nobody dared suggest airline passengers or their luggage needed searching until the late 1970s.

Police waited sometimes hours to learn who the registered owner of an automobile was or whether it was stolen.

There was no video surveillance. There were no computers. All records were searched for in filing cabinets by clerks.

Technology has created a monster that has been accepted as necessary today by nearly everyone. Our crime rate was so much lower back when there was freedom.

Government was not in absolutely every aspect of our lives. Government was police and fire departments, schools, libraries, postal service and our national defense. Taxes were low and government was seen and not heard.

Government has been making laws non-stop and more often as a way to raise revenue to give us more government rather than promote public safety.

Adolph Hitler convinced the German people they needed more laws and stricter enforcement. The Germans bought into the argument of sacrificing liberty for better security. America has followed The Fuhrer's lead.

Imagine the panic of some air travelers I f the TSA vanished from the airports. The public has been fooled that the TSA is needed and actually provides protection.

Today you need some sort of license to do anything more than cut your own toenails.

Why did we ever give up our freedom? Will we ever live long enough to see freedom again?

Joe Stack: Terrorist Or Patriot?

Austin, TX—Having twice been financially destroyed, a small businessman gave up on getting fair treatment from the IRS. Joe Stack loaded his plane with fuel and used it in a Kamikaze attack against his tormentors.

I read Stack’s rambling suicide message that had valid complaints and showcased his obvious inability to get the government monster off of his back. Like Tim McVeigh’s bombing, Stack’s airplane attack was indiscriminate and subjected innocent people to death, injury and property damage. The tyrants that deserved punishment escaped.

Was Stack delusional? If so, did government tyranny put him in the emotional crisis that ignited his rage? This deserves an exhaustive investigation. Failure to do so is asking for more attacks by desperate Americans.

I don’t think the Bolshevik rhetoric and action coming from the Whitehouse and Congress reassured Stack that he was not a government extortion target. Stack sent a clear message to an out-of-control government to take its hands out of his pocket. Being punitive to Joe Stack cost the government this time. Government has been wrecking too many lives like that of Joe Stack.

George Washington, Patrick Henry and Benjamin Franklin were all terrorists willing to risk certain death for demanding freedom. They, of course were patriots of the first order who secured the freedom today’s leaders reject.

When you threaten freedom there is also a risk that you could be a target like the Austin IRS officials yesterday. American politicians are far better protected than Adolph Hitler and many of the worst despots. That protection is viewed as a license to make extortionate demands on and control the population.

These days Americans fear government when our founding fathers arranged for those roles to be reversed. Smug, safe and immune government officials are dangerous to freedom.

We have a police state by definition and government is in every aspect of our lives. We must change that equation if freedom is going to survive in this country. We have a duty to protect each other from oppressive government and we failed Joe Stack. There would never been an Oklahoma Bombing if Americans bothered to protect the rights of the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas.

Enough Americans could have assembled and obstructed the deadly ATF assault in Waco, TX. The government would never have opened fire on several thousand citizens demanding an end to the armed invasion, as they positioned themselves between the rogue government agents and the men, women and children that perished.

The only response we can expect from the Obama Administration over Joe Stack is to crack down on the rights of owners of private airplanes.

We don’t have to agree with Joe Stack or his deadly method. We should all agree that Stack and other disenfranchised productive Americans deserve our protection.

We must band together and make it clear to government officials when we have had enough. The Tea Party events have not made an impression. Is it time to increase the volume of the message that we demand freedom and liberty?

The TSA Must Begin Body Cavity Searches!

Washington, DC—Homeland Security and the TSA claims they want us to be safe from terror. They say they want to do everything possible to protect us. This is a giant scam.

They’ve shredded our Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches absent warrants or probable cause. Many Americans must travel by air and have no other option.

Today, our government treats American passengers like criminals. This is over the conduct of people we’ve foolishly allowed on our planes and soil carrying passports from unfriendly nations.

The truth is that explosives cannot be detected by even the best of our modern technology unless the bomb makers fail to clean their hands, clothing and luggage.

Explosive are found in every possible form, solids, powders, putty like plastic and liquid. This material can be concealed or manufactured as harmless appearing objects with ease.

The TSA wants you to believe they can do the impossible by treating Americans like criminals. It is all a giant lie. This is pure propaganda. If our wardens can’t keep drugs and weapons out of maximum security prisons, how can we expect the TSA to keep explosives off our planes?

It only takes a small amount of explosive compounds to blow a hole into the fuselage of an aluminum aircraft. Enough explosive can be concealed inside condoms then placed in body cavities. The scanning and sniffing equipment would be powerless to prevent this kind of concealment.

There is no shortage of other simple ways for terrorist to defeat the best efforts of the TSA to stop weapons and bombs entering our airports.

At what point do we return rights and liberty to Americans and keep the people with passports from enemy nations off our planes and soil? When do they allow trained and certified off duty cops to again fly with their sidearms? When do they insist that all pilots be trained and armed?

Our government will throw our money at any and every solution to the problem as long as it does not work.

The TSA claims their security is in layers. I submit they have given Americans layers of insult, indignity, privacy invasion and civil rights violations rather than the protection they promised.

The TSA has never once stopped a single terrorist attack.

America is a nation of cowards so let the TSA cavity searches begin.

Will County’s Drew Peterson Inquisition Is Disgraceful.

Joliet, IL—So you think Drew Peterson is a jerk. You also suspect that foul play may have claimed two of his four wives lives. You hate the fact that Peterson and his lawyer told anyone who will listen that he’s no killer. You believe the TV pundits like Geraldo Rivera that have declared Peterson guilty. That’s the popular and politically correct opinion these days, so why do we even bother with a trial?

Right now, our nation is giving Muslim terrorists at war with America the very rights that we are refusing a man with a 30 year, career as decorated Bolingbrook cop.

They passed that frightening, Drew Peterson Hearsay Law that denies Peterson and his lawyers the right to confront witnesses against him. They can’t and won’t be using hearsay against the terrorists, so why are we using third party gossip against Peterson?

One thing for sure, the witnesses against Peterson have all been getting fame and fortune. Pathetic and marginal people have gotten lots of TV face time as long as they would implicate Peterson into anything ugly at all.

The Will County Court has painted itself into an untenable corner. The indictment of Peterson was only based on hearsay and the court can only proceed if it determines Peterson is guilty of murder. The jury pool is destroyed forever since they all will know the judge already concluded Peterson is a killer.

Instead of following the rules, a giant end run was made to convict Peterson at any cost. The cost is way too high. Can we count on the Illinois Legislature to find creative ways for every defendant to gain a conviction when fairness and existing law won’t guarantee that verdict?

Will every defendant be subjected to all available court endorsed and ratified gossip and hearsay fantasies of every village idiot that wants to get famous?

This subversion of our criminal justice system in the Drew Peterson must not be allowed to continue. Drew Peterson’s right to a fair trial has been permanently destroyed. I’d expect this kind of extra-legal circus in some banana republic, dictator’s show trial, never in America.

Will County must be legally enjoined from any continuation of this mutant form of legal masturbation.

The prosecutors and judges of Will County, Illinois have lowered the bar straight into the toilet. They should all be ashamed to be part of this farce.

Conservatives, Republicans Or Tea Party Activists?

Fox News has become a default group support place for fear and loathing of all things Socialist. The message from Fox News is really mixed and confusing. From that Leftist Showman, Geraldo Rivera, the Liberal news Anchor, Sheppard Smith, the, regulate them to death style Progressive, Bill O'Reilly that believes he’s somehow a Conservative to that genuine Conservative, Glen Beck.

The Fox personalities are all over the political map. The ratings demographics provide true insight about how Americans really feel. Fox, a cable outlet takes the lead with the others far behind. That alone should send a loud and strong message to the politicians.

Fox News seems to be at odds with the Obama Administration policy in general. But, Glen Beck seems to be the only one who has really studied Political Science. Beck has a grasp of history and understands what’s happening.

The mainstream Republican Party has gone progressive years ago and does not have its Conservative identity anymore.

The Democratic Party has embraced Socialism and Karl Marx despite the massive failure of that form of government.

The Tea Party folks are a bunch of Conservative and Independent voters that have been disenfranchised and are tired of constant government extortion. The Tea Party people are victims of Bait and Switch promises of today’s American politicians.

The disgust Americans have for Congress and our politicians is at an unacceptable level. Obama has done one wonderful thing. He has caused massive educational efforts to understand the American process by the American people. Can we get rid of this despot before he destroys America?

The people do not like what they are learning because they want the American the founding fathers gave us not this Socialist Hope and Change manure they have been fed for decades.

The Republican Party needs to go back to its roots and expel the George Bush’s and John McCain’s that have abandoned Conservatism. It’s time for the small government, low tax mind our own business liberty lovers to get control of their own lives. The benefit would be a strong economy and good jobs for everyone.

Wars are always the product of Progressive Leftists that can’t accept the Swiss model of minding their own business. It is time for peace.

America’s Criminal Justice System Is Slipping Into An ABYSS.

Yourtown, USA—In the last four decades the rights of people accused of crimes has degenerated through various pieces of legislation. That’s happened, as our courts refused to support the Bill of Rights.

Unhealthy and dangerous changes include:

1. The near total destruction of rights involving police searches.
2. The expanded use of hearsay evidence in criminal trials.
3. Prosecution witnesses being allowed to hear other witnesses testify.
4. The admission of junk science evidence against defendants.
5. TV cameras being allowed inside courtrooms as misinformed and malicious pundits sway juries.

Germany’s judicial system took a wrong turn during the Third Reich. The People’s Court turned into a killing machine complete with filmed “show trials”. The German people thought this was an open and fair process that included defense lawyers and appeals. The German system was a total sham. The People's Court conviction rate from 1933 to 1945 was nearly 100%.

The Nazis only held those “show trials” for accused Germans. The Jews and other undesirables simply disappeared to concentration camps and the crematories.

My criminal lawyer friends all agree that we have become a police state complete with technology the Nazis would have coveted in a big way.

This is all fun until you or someone you love gets a ride in America’s version of The People’s Court. These kinds of courts are brought to you by Socialism
