Valley Village, CA —Six men were shot and four of them have died at a shooting on April 3 at the Hot Spot Café. The men killed were identified by police as, Harut Baburyan, 28, Sarkis Karadjian, 26, Vardan Tofalyan, 31, and Hayk Yegnanyan, 25. Now the LAPD has named their suspect as Nerses Arthur Galstyan , 28 who is also wanted along with others by the BATFE for charges of selling three firearms without a license to a paid informant. Rumors have circulated that the shooting may be part of a dispute among Armenian gang members. Police are also looking for a connection between this shooting and the unsolved Hollywood murder of Karyn Safaryan at the apartment building where she lived. Neighbors have describe the Hot Spot Cafe as a meeting place for shady men and hostile to potential customers who were turned away. Police and prosecutors also disclosed that Baburyan, one of the victims, was a career criminal. He had served various prison terms for attempted auto fraud, possession of ...

Moscow, Russia —I deal with a lot of adoption cases but I find this one incredibly painful to think about. A seven year-old boy was put on a plane to Moscow with a note in his pocket he could not read. The note was from Torry Hansen , a woman who adopted the child and now wanted to rid herself of the challenges of motherhood. She merely dumped the kid on the plane like taking a bad dog back to the shelter. She claimed the kid was psychotic and complained that she was misled about the boy’s mental health. She wrote, “the child is a liability.” I’m beyond shocked at the unbelievable cruelty of this despicable act. In life we never get more than hope that our children will be perfect and healthy in every way. Kids are born every day with handicaps, defects and disfigurements but parental love conquers nearly everything. Any real mother would have done whatever it took to deal with any and all issues the boy had. In addition to being placed in a strange home the child must have suffered...

Chicago, IL —With impossible to defend allegations of cowardice, a nearly total lack of support by Chicago’s finest and the department in a management quagmire Jody Weis has little choice but to move on. Since the cowardice allegation backed by solid videotape surfaced last Friday Weis has been in hiding. He’s not returning reporter’s calls, and has absented himself from meetings. Weis is at the end of his three-year contract and his rope. There’s no way Weis can ever recover the respect of the rank and file officers. The leadership void is at crisis level as what looks to be a violent summer approaches. I expect a resignation announcement at any moment. As for Mayor Richard M. Daley he must quickly find a new superintendent that can somehow end the chaos within the department. Daley needs to pull out the stops to deal with manpower, equipment and contract issues. I can’t imagine Daley rehabilitating his act now. The City council is loaded with thugs, thieves and liars that need ...

Los Angeles, CA —All forms of news publishing is endangered as revenue is widely spread between all the new competition. Gone are the big budgets to cover stories. Newspapers have quietly sent reporters out with new inexpensive but high quality digital video cameras to gather news. Since nearly everyone connected to the Internet via broadband connections video is feasible. The tradeoff is the newspaper reporters are only chosen for their newsgathering and writing ability rather than being attractive and having pleasing voices. Newspaper reporters are dramatically less stylish in their manner of dress since their images are rarely been broadcast. The video work produced by newspapers has been pretty much reduced to interviews with newsmakers and video of events. The vanity stand ups and teleprompter news reading has not been part of the changes until recently. Okay I have a thing for those hot, leggy blond babes on FOX NEWS . They are quite the distraction. Somehow a magic filter th...

Washington, DC—Barack Obama is not missing a stroke in his stride to destroy the United States Constitution, freedom and liberty. The Great Divider is doing absolutely everything to align this country with those countries that embrace Socialism and terror. That as the traitor is destroying America’s military defense mechanism and protection. We are at a crossroads in America unseen since the Civil War and we must choose the side we will fight on. Fight we will. As we begin a period of civil unrest as the major cities collapse under impossible entitlement programs, full scale war can’t be far behind. A full half of our population is now enslaved to the other. That is an intolerable divide. Thankfully most members of our police and military will follow their oaths of office and not wage war on fellow Americans. There can be no doubt that Obama will seek aid and help from United Nations and troops from Socialist countries to complete his revolution. No matter what history demonstrat...

Cancun, Mexico —If you’ve got the money the Moon Palace resort is the place to get your batteries recharged. Great rooms, wonderful service and incredible entertainment filled nights are on the program. That's just where TV producer, Bruce Beresford-Redman (Survivor and Pimp My Ride) and his wife, Monica Beresford-Redman went to enjoy life to the fullest. Now we’ve learned that Monica Beresford-Redman was first reported missing by her husband and was later found in a nearby gutter murdered. Reportedly there is a witness to an argument by the couple before the victim went missing. An argument is hardly evidence of a domestic murder. Police have detained Bruce Beresford-Redman for questioning as a suspect. Reports indicate he had scratch marks on his body. The cause of death is pending an autopsy but police believe she was strangled by her attacker. The Attorney General's Office in the State of Quintana Roo will determine what if any charges will be brought. Considering rec...

WIND-AM 560--Thursday 8:30 AM Chicago, IL —The story of Chicago police superintendent Jody Weis public relations nightmare has gone viral. His now famous “gotta go” video is making the rounds to law enforcement officers all over the country. Amy Jacobson will have retired police sergeant John Northen and the mystery detective behind the Shaved “L.C.” Blog site as guests. I’ve been asked to call it too. It should be an interesting drive time radio show. Instead of dealing with the official complaint made by John Northen, Weis has apparently gone into hiding. He’s sent his PR flaks out to smear Northern for once suing the department over the selection process for lieutenants. One called the complaint absurd. We have yet to hear from Weis himself. Weis has yet to surface and tell us about what was so pressing that he could not assist fellow officers and endangered members of the public at the scene of an in-progress fatal shooting. Weis can never recover from this cowardice alle...

Chicago, IL—Jody Weis was never cut out to be the Chicago Police Superintendent; he was never properly trained or equipped for the job. At least the job he thought he was filling. Weis was a civilian and should have never tried to be a cop. For Weis putting on the gun, star and uniform was something of an impersonation. He’d never done that before and that was no small part of his downfall. Weis was with the FBI . The FBI does have police powers but they are never first responders to the mayhem of large violent cities. The FBI investigates federal crimes and they search for certain federal fugitives. The FBI mission has little to do with police work and making the transition from what they do to what big city street cops do is huge. Weiss somehow thought he could simply put on the uniform and parade around like a real policeman. Unlike FBI agents, Chicago cops learn to experience fear early in their careers. Imagine being a young White cop handling routine ghetto calls on the mi...

Chicago, IL —Yes, Chicago’s local media has been in the pocket of the Daley/Burke Crime Families for a very long time. They’ve killed story after story about corruption whenever they could. Now there is the Internet with its bloggers and keeping those dirty secrets has become a real challenge. The allegation of Cowardice by Chicago police superintendent, Jody Weis would have never seen the light of day in the past. It would have circulated as an unsubstantiated rumor throughout the department. The allegation itself would have gotten a City Hall whitewash job and the media would have avoided mentioning it like a viral infection. Retired Chicago police sergeant, John Northern became aware of the Weis’ conduct and how he left the scene of an in progress homicide and made a formal complaint. This kind of complaint is as serious as any since it did involve a killing and and immediate public safety action. A complaint of that nature is indeed hard news that deserves proper investigatio...

Chicago, IL —There was a non-stop Ghetto-Bloodbath On Friday. There were scores of cops, members of the media and shots were ringing out in the immediate neighborhood. Officers were calling for assistance to deal with yet another fatal shooting. Only seconds away from this in progress shooting was the sworn, armed superintendent of Chicago police, Jody Weis getting some face time with the lovely Kristyn Hartman of CBS 2 News . When he became aware of the dire emergency his words to Hartman said it all, “I gotta run!” Run he did, but away from the fellow officers and citizens that were in dire need of help? We are all waiting to find out just where Weis ran…

Munich, Germany —After months of prosecuting, John Demjanjuk who stands accused of being a Sobibor death camp guard there’s little to show for the effort. So far no living witness has been produced to place the retired Cleveland auto worker at the camp. Witnesses have testified that Ukrainians like Demjanjuk were forced to serve the Nazi’s under the threat of execution if they refused. That’s hardly evidence that Demjanjuk had done anything wrong at all. The “smoking gun” evidence is an identity card. Another identity card produced by agents of the U.S. Office of Special Investigations seemed to show that Demjanjuk was the notorious, Ivan the Terrible at yet another camp. That card was later proven to be a total forgery during Demjanjuk’s appeal from an Israeli death sentence. Demjanjuk was cleared of that allegation. Demjanjuk is accused of being an accessory to the murders of nearly 28,000 people confined at Sobibor. This trial seems to be a German government effort of post Wo...

Chicago,IL —According to a report published today by secondcityccop.blogspot.com Chicago police Superintendent Jody P. Weis has been accused by a retired homicide sergeant, John Northen of cowardice and inattention to duty. Weis was out with police patrolling in the 007 Englewood district where shooting broke out. Instead of Weis, a sworn armed officer responding and aiding his fellow officers he fled the area. A complaint was formally made and must be investigated. I can’t imagine any Chicago policemen surviving a similar complaint without being suspended for 30 days pending separation for this kind of offense. If the complaint allegations are accurate Weis needs to be removed for such disgraceful disregard for his fellow officers and Chicago’s citizen’s safety. Read SCC’s report here. An Update! I spoke with John Northen and he agreed to my posting his statement about his complaint against Jody Weis. Easter Sunday, April 4, 2010 Re: My complaint (C.R. No. 1,035,137) filed wit...

Valley Village, CA —In a Mediterranean restaurant called the Hot Spot Café, six men were gunned down around 5:00 PM Saturday. LAPD officers from the North Hollywood Division are investigating and so far not offered a motive for the carnage. Rumors are circulating that this was a dispute between rival Armenian gangs. Four of the men have died from their wounds and the other two are in critical condition at this hour. Police are looking for a heavyset white or Armenian man in his 30s who reportedly fled in an automobile. There will be a lot more to this story and I will post it as it develops. Here is an update:

Chicago, IL —Genocide is the word of the day in the Windy City. In the past couple of days there have been scores of shootings. The numbers are still coming in at this hour. The violence as usual is contained in the African-American communities. A severe shortage of police officers, the wholesale release of prison convicts and some unseasonably nice weather contributed to condition for the perfect storm of violence. Then there is the reality of the city’s gun ban that criminalizes self-defense and protects homicidal thugs as they turn my home town into a killing field. The terror that Blacks have been unleashing upon Blacks makes the deeds of the Ku Klux Klan, look pale by comparison. The real problem is that the city administration has taxed the productive and law-abiding residents into flight away from Chicago’s Socialist Utopia. What’s left is a population whose way of life is total dependence on government. They’ve been robbed of hope, dreams and self-reliance by their own Lef...

What is a police officer anymore? Why nothing more than a government extortionist! Outrageous accusation you say? Not really, let’s examine the facts. Since this country was founded we have been making laws non-stop to reduce freedom. We went on an orgy of making laws for victimless crimes. Gambling, prostitution, alcohol and drug bans are at the top of the list. We have placed speed limits on our wonderful and safely constructed highways that only contribute to accidents by creating unnecessary congestion. In recent decades we have criminalized self-defense as we allowed for laws that directly defy the Second Amendment to our Bill of Rights. Police are seen as a party to this systemic rights violation. We’ve done the same with privacy as we now require police to invade our possessions, personal records and body cavities in direct contradiction to our Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure. Frisking Americans like prison convicts has become the accepted way t...

Germany— Visiting Germany and Switzerland during the Month of November was a real treat for me. Although I lived in Germany for 18 months of my military service (1968-1970) I did not travel to Berlin back then because of the red tape involved with travel to eastern Germany. I love the German people, their language and culture. My memories of Germany are some of the most wonderful of my entire life. I made the trip to beautiful Berlin this time. My interest in learning about World War Two was nothing insignificant. So much, violence, torture and mass murder needs careful examination. Europe was indeed a dangerous place during the reign of The Third Reich . Death and destruction was a constant visitor to anyone thought Europe. This was truly a holocaust for every man woman and child. Every family lost someone and so many families were totally wiped out by shooting and bombing. What people fail to realize absolutely everyone suffered, not just the Jews. What conditions could possibly caus...

Arizona —I have no clue where this happened or who was involved. It seems that there was a parked photo radar vehicle along a freeway that needed some corrective action. Some patriots splashed tar all over the vehicle and then applied a coating of feathers. I assume that the vehicle was unusable for its extortion mission for at least a day or two. I’d much prefer to see the politicians that enable the extortion program get identical treatment. Perhaps they’d learn that government by extortion is bad government.

Washington, DC —One by one America’s largest employers are risking Barack Obama’s and Congress’ wrath as they cry foul. They are reporting significant and unmanageable costs because of the hastily and secretly drafted legislation that’s now the law of the land. Obamacre threatens every American job and will make economic recovery impossible. In retaliation the Obamacare Congressional block has subpoenaed the corporation’s records and will grill the CEO’s. No evidence will surface showing any benefit to the American economy and this will also bog down the government’s ability to collect taxes and function. Will we see this crisis become Obama’s excuse to seize and nationalize America’s corporations? If Obama tries that he can count on American people to rise in an armed rebellion against him and his cronies. There will be a gallows waiting for all those Marxist traitors. No matter what happens, I suspect the corporations will succeed in obtaining an emergency restraining order fro...

Chicago, IL—It was the very beginning of July, 1970 and I had just finished serving two years in the US Army after being drafted . I was off duty and enjoying the pretty girls at the North end of Oak Street Beach. I saw a filthy looking hippie and he was wearing a United States flag like a diaper. I viewed the sight with utter contempt. I knew there was some relatively new law that prohibited the, “improper display of the flag.” I saw a sergeant from 018 driving by and asked him if he knew about that somewhat obscure new law. He actually had a copy of it and it was a felony with no misdemeanor reducer. That was it, we arrested the hippy whose name was Joseph John Grant. It turned out he had a drug conviction and he was soon on his way to the 018 District lock-up after we called for a wagon. We confiscated the flag and inventoried it as evidence. I soon learned that Grant was unable to post the relatively low bail. Grant’s is preliminary hearing court date came up and he appeare...
