Utah Execution is a Barbaric and Cowardly Act

Draper, UT—I visited the prison here several years ago on an adoption matter. It’s a clean appearing seemingly well run institution for men that have done vile and horrible things. Many are dangerous career criminals housed there that should never be set free until they’re too old to hurt anyone.

After midnight tonight Ronnie Lee Gardner, 49 is going to be escorted to and strapped into a chair and five men will fire .30 Caliber Winchester rifles at a small target on his chest.

Gardner’s crime was a despicable act. He was convicted of capital murder 25 years ago for the 1985 fatal courthouse shooting of attorney Michael Burdell during an escape attempt. He was desperate and 24 years-old back then.

It’s disturbing to me that an entire quarter of a century has passed. That much time would change anyone. There is no evidence since that mad act that indicates he’d re-offend or not find a peaceful way to somehow serve society even if it was behind bars. Killing Gardner now is almost like killing Peter for Paul’s crime.

Gardner made quite an exhaustive appeal to the pardon board. It served no purpose and was a total waste of breath.

Gardner can’t be blamed for the 25 year appeal process since he did not create it. I can’t help but to believe that the freakish delay and half of Gardner’s life was spent dreading his own killing at the hands of the government. At some point this should qualify as cruel and unusual punishment.

Gardner sat on Death Row for so long he watched young prison guards grow old and retire while he was waiting to die or get a commutation. That certainly qualifies as “hard time”.

I guess this execution is raw vengeance in its purest form. Taking a captive human to a death chamber is in itself a disgusting act. Being part of this kind of barbarism carries the mark of Cain. There are no heroes here.

I oppose the death penalty not because people don’t deserve that fate but because no government should have the power to kill their own citizens. Every government on earth will abuse that power sooner or later. I have no qualms about killing in legitimate self defense or defense of another.

As for Gardner he’s about to cease to exist or cross over to the “other side” if you believe there is one. One thing for sure his earthly tormentors can punish him no more.

Chicago Handgun Ban Should Have Protected These Armed Robbers!

Chicago, IL—Within the next two weeks legal experts expect that the United States Supreme Court will rule that the 14th Amendment incorporates the Second Amendment applying it to the states.

Simply put for the first time all 50 states can, no longer infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. The failure of the court to do this until now has allowed some states to heavily restrict or ban firearms as their gun control schemes have spun out-of-control.

The target of this action is the 30 year-old Chicago handgun ban. The law was passed with the twisted and tortured logic that robbers, rapists and killers would somehow obey the ban on handguns. The only thing that happened was the wholesale disarming of law-abiding Chicagoans. Or what I called The Mugger Protection Act. It’s only the criminals, not the law-abiding that use guns for violent crime.

The law enabled cowardly criminals to do whatever they wanted by eliminating any and all meaningful self defense capability of their victims.

Some smart Chicagoans have recently begun to ignore the ban with the awareness that it was unconstitutional. They have acquired guns and on three occasions in the last three weeks fired their guns into the bodies of dangerous and armed felons.

What are the poor rapists, robbers and killers to do now? Is there no compassion for them anymore? I know that Mayor Daley and his City Council feels that this is just not fair to them!

Adding insult to injury an accomplice of the armed robber killed in last week’s North West side failed Fullerton Pawners stickup, Preracio Williams, 23 pictured above has been arrested.

Now Williams faces a First degree Murder charge for the killing of his pal, Michael McMillan, 24 by the shop’s owner. That is of course in addition to the Armed Robbery charge. Now the poor lad’s life is ruined for sure since he won’t see freedom for many decades.

As for the late Michael McMillan, he got a sweet prison boot camp for another stickup. Now, he’s out of the gene pool.

Had the pawn shop owner respected Daley’s gun ban the two downtrodden African-American lads would have had a much better fate. I guess Daley figures that the victims are less important and expendable.

On June 3, a 27-year-old South Austin man shot and wounded a man who jumped through the window of his home as he was running away from police officers during a drug bust.

That was followed by another shooting on May 26. An 80-year-old Korean War veteran shot and killed a masked home invasion/robber in East Garfield Park. The veteran was also robbed at gunpoint last year.

Because of the Hale Demar Law, neither resident was charged with violating the handgun ban. In both instances, the slain robbers were convicted felons. It’s now expected that the pawn shop owner won’t face charges either.

Times change and now thing may turn against the unfortunate felons of Chicago.

Warren Buffett and Bill Gates want to spread their wealth and I can help!

Chicago, IL-- These two money making giants say they want to give away half of their money. Okay I want to get into this line! I need several million dollars to make my film, Come Friday about heroic Chicago policewoman Ann Leybourne. It was New Year’s morning when serial rapist and career criminal Robert Ellis stalked and kidnapped the 25 year old recruit policewoman.

Ellis kidnapped and raped nearly 50 attractive young women on Chicago’s gold Coast. On a legal technicality he was set free and his crimes continued. Some really great cops made Ellis their personal target but were never able to bag the cunning rapist. Ellis wore a surgical mask and was always armed with a gun or knife. He always struck on Friday Night. Chicago’s media dubbed him The Friday Night Rapist.

I want to employ a director, actors, extras, editors as I pump some needed cash into Chicago’s struggling economy. There will be lots of work for off duty Chicago cops.

This struggling film producer and screenwriter must have the cash in order to open some Hollywood doors to tell the exciting story of a real American role model. Yes, Ann Leybourne absolutely deserves the honor.

You generous billionaires could do something really fine. As for any profits from the film, perhaps could be turned into a scholarship program for the children of Chicago’s finest.

Flight Attendants Are good For?

Chicago, IL—For 32 years Patti DeLuna, 61 has been in the skies serving passengers for three different airlines. The past 14 of those years have been with American Airlines.

Patti had a little secret; she knew how to do more than serve peanuts and drinks. She learned how to fly airplanes long ago.

Being a commercial airline pilot was impossible in DeLuna’s younger days because you could not get the job without being a military pilot first regardless of experience or training. DeLuna went ahead and got a commercial pilot's rating anyway in 1970 and several years later became a flight attendant.

Monday was hardly a different day for DeLuna as a mid-air medical emergency developed in the cockpit. The First Officer was stricken and unable to assist the Captain with the landing of that little Boeing 767 airship.

After an announcement for pilots on board the plane got no results DeLuna sprang into action and took over the First Officer’s duties like the pro she is. Although she had not piloted a plane for 20 years she did her part bring the plane in for a routine and safe landing.

I have a friend who is an American Airlines pilot and Captain. The good captain laments that the flight attendants for the most part have no interest in learning anything at all about flying the plane. You’d think they use their position and proximity to learn if for no other reason to assist in an emergency. My friend is absolutely correct.

It’s too bad that the glut of military pilots was not exhausted earlier when DeLuna was entering the work force. Had that been the case she’d have been a career pilot, been forced to retire because of age and would be enjoying a big fat pension check right now.

Somehow I don’t think retirement would ever suit DeLuna. She has proven that she has the right stuff.

Infuriating New Airline Baggage fees Are Only Part of the Problem

Charlotte, NC—Along with all the grief associated with today’s air travel, the airlines are not helping themselves into profitability. They are adding more reasons to avoid flying altogether.

I arrived at the airport only to learn from Delta Airlines that I must fork over an additional $25.00 fee for my 25” roll-away bag each way. It was not the money that angered me but the nickel-dime low brow treatment.

I forked over the additional payment only to see panicked passengers who have avoided the charges overfilling the overhead storage bins. Smart travelers were trying to find clever ways to beat the extra charges. Needless to say the overhead bins get stuffed full before nearly half of the passengers are let on to the plane.

Loading the plane took a significant longer time and the flight attendants began confiscating small bags of passenger’s valuables that because of a lack of space in the overloaded bins. The confiscated bags included laptops and cameras that were now in for a rough ride and also being offered up as theft targets. This clearly is needless additional trauma for passengers.

I’d much prefer the airlines simply left the baggage matters to the status quo and raised the prices accordingly. Most people try to avoid waiting for checked baggage anyway.

In the long run this new baggage scheme should and will cost the airlines even more paying customers. What a dumb idea.

Another Pro-Obama Thug, This Time It’s A Congressman!

Washington, DC—Watch Congressman Bob Etheridge, Democrat from North Carolina, as he violently manhandles a passive student asking simple questions on a public sidewalk.

This is nothing more than a criminal assault and battery that deserves prosecution in both a criminal and civil court.

This is the new thuggish attitude of the Socialists of the Barack Obama Administration. Yes, it reminiscent of the Brownshirts of National Socialism’s SA that brought Adolph Hitler to absolute power.

If Etheridge escapes prosecution that’s a sure sign of the Obama Administration actually is gaining that dreaded absolute power.

Brady Campaign Is On The Ropes

They’ve changed their name many times but their mission is the same. They want what they’ve called sensible gun control. They’ve wanted to ban every gun in civilian homes in America. They’ve pushed their agenda with a loud voice for a couple of decades but now thankfully, they’re running out of gas.

The U.S. Supreme Court dealt them a fatal blow when they re-affirmed the Second Amendment in the Heller case. Now the Brady Bunch is bracing for another defeat with the McDonald case due any Monday this month.

More importantly the truth has emerged through the new media about the failure of gun control to do anything but empower and enable violent criminals. Before the Internet, with only the major TV networks and Leftist newspapers, spreading their misleading and poisonous propaganda was smooth sailing. Those days are over now

In the last two decades, the Right to Carry, has swept the nation as law-abiding citizens regained the right to protect themselves on main Street. That massive movement has shot big holes in every Brady argument they’ve ever made.

The Brady Bunch is now trying to sell their mailing list. The list would have value among Liberal and Left Wing causes. Frankly they need the money to keep their doors open and meet their staff’s payroll. Nobody wants to donate to a lost cause.

Even with a career gun rights hater like Barack Obama in the Whitehouse there is little chance of gaining ground against the latest edicts of the nation’s highest court. The future of gun control is bleak indeed.

The Liberals and leftists are throwing all their money to protect their incumbent Congressional candidates from being ousted. There’s nothing left for the Brady Bunch.

It’s Time To Let Large Cities Fail—Bailouts Must End Now!

Washington, DC—Barack Obama is at it again, enslaving taxpayers this time for yet another $50 billion to bailout cities that refused to exercise minimal fiscal discipline.

Now these Democratic Party controlled cities say they have to lay off teachers, fire and police. Of course the unbridled corruption and waste matters not as the same city officials will get another blood money bailout.

The Leftists running these metropolitan cesspools have done silly things like declare themselves as Sanctuary Cities for illegal aliens. They’ve forcing taxpayers to provide services for the trespassers.

Chicago for example misspent many tens of millions trying to win the Olympic Games. They were merely looking for more contract extortion opportunities for their own officials.

Is there no limit to bailout foolishness? These rogue cities need to be forced to tighten their belts. They need to be weaned from reckless spending. Giving money to the same horrible local politicians that created this mess is the same as rewarding John Dillinger for robbing banks.

Cities must be allowed to fail. The residents of these cities would then vote out the crooks that created the problem in the first place.

Congress needs to get the message whether it be accomplished with ballots or bullets, NO MORE BAILOUTS!

Tolerating Obama Inspired Violence

Greensboro, NC—A Barack Obama supporting thug named Governor Spencer waded into a group of peaceful Tea Party demonstrators to confront them. Spencer pushed one woman and threw a left hook striking, Nathan Tabor in the face.

The vicious an unprovoked assault was captured on video tape. The thug left without being arrested.

I have one simple question. Why didn’t the other men in the demonstration step in and beat the living snot out of the Obama thug? This is nothing more than backing down from a schoolhouse bully. Failure to fight back only empowers the bullies and brings much more of the same.

Today’s Americans don’t really deserve rights they won’t fight to preserve and protect. Standing around with signs to an administration that ignores both voters and the Constitution is a waste of time.

We cannot fight tyranny with peaceful protests. That never works. We are under the most dangerous Socialist threat this country has ever faced and must do our duty as Americans to protect and defend the Constitution. Extortionate taxation and enslavement of Americans is an act of war that can only be addressed in kind!

If we can’t fight the little fights how can we liberate ourselves from a Socialist takeover? If we don’t immediately begin to do our duty and violently defend, our freedom will perish.

Will Hate or Reason Dictate Outcome of Murder Trial?

Los Angeles, CA—The trial of Bay Area Rapid Transit cop, Johannes Mehserle has been removed from Oakland to be tried here.

Mehserle is the young cop who shot and killed Oscar Grant on a transit platform on New Year’s Day in 2009. Grant was being subdued and handcuffed by several officers when Mehserle removed his service weapon from its holster and shot Grant in the back. It sounds so simple but it’s not.

The shooting of Oscar Grant was a YouTube Sensation because several people in the hostile crowd pulled out cell-phone video cameras and captured the incident. They quickly posted the videos on YouTube with their own misleading and incendiary commentary.

In the past 40 years police agencies all over have experimented and deployed all manner of non-lethal gizmos and sprays as an alternative to force that will seriously injure or kill. Quite popular are the Tazer stun guns with police administrators and local politicians. I have taken exception to this device for a lot of reasons.

There is only so much room on a patrol officer’s belt for equipment. There is the service weapon, extra ammunition, handcuff case, baton ring, portable radio and a key ring. The more crap you add the more complicated things get. When you are required to carry a new device like the stun gun your developed, reflexes and muscle memory goes to Hell. Survival dictates that you watch your suspect and possible accomplices and not the equipment on your belt.

When it comes to police equipment it’s administrators and politicians that decide what will be carried not the officers required to carry the crap.

Apparently the reason that Grant is dead is not because of a wanton desire to kill him but the cop grabbed the wrong pistol grip. Instead of grabbing the Taser gun he grabbed the Sig .40 caliber duty pistol instead. That was an ugly mistake but a mistake none the less.

Next we have to talk about Oakland, California. Oakland is the Hate Epicenter of the United States for African-American extremists. The Black Panther Party was spawned here and cops, especially White cops are targets of hate and deadly race based assault.

Oakland’s African-American community wants the blood of this young cop. The threats against this lad are such that anyone killing him in a on the street, jail or prison would be considered a Black Hero.

There is no basis to rationally believe this was more than an accident where the victim was willingly engaged in risky behavior. You also have to believe that the young cop’s attention was fixed on his own and fellow cop’s safety when this accident occurred. Any well trained officer would be observing a 360 degree area for additional threats especially in the cop hating capital of the world.

This case was only charged because prosecutors could not deal with Oakland’s hateful African-Americans.

Can a Los Angeles jury be fair? This case does not belong in a criminal court but a civil venue where a jury should be dealing solely with the issue of civil negligence.

Watch my long time friend Christi Paul of Headline News report on violence that gave prosecutors no options but to prosecute.

Goethe Institute Promotes German Culture and American relations

Washington, DC—In our world politics and governments may change but people and their cultures remain the same.

As a young man and Army draftee I was part of the post World War Two military occupation that was still around 23 years after the war ended. I saw some amazing things in Germany. They were still repairing war damage but the smiles and friendship the people offered me was immeasurable to this Chicago boy so far from home. Serving in Germany was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

Germany had joined NATO and we were all part of the common defense against the totalitarian Soviet regime. In thousands of homes were pictures and tapestries of our President John F. Kennedy. Kennedy endeared himself to the German people with his famous, “Ich bin ein Berliner!” speech.

The German people accepted me as one of them. I went out of my way to learn and think in the German language. My host country shared their food, culture, hopes, dreams and lives with me. Fun was going to a night club were a rock group would perform the latest American hits, but with a German accent!

Too many of my fellow soldiers stayed among themselves missing a fabulous experience. In retrospect I could have stayed in Germany. The Germans had a special love for life perhaps as a direct result of the war and deprivation they experienced. Germany has been enjoying its freedom and liberty since the war ended in 1945. Germany has been rebuilt and has never looked better!

There’s nothing like a German summer lunch at an outdoor cafe or perhaps some wine a cheese on a short river cruise on the Rhine or Main. At night there’s lots of music and dancing under the stars in this exceptional country. Okay I must admit I’ve found the German women to be fascinating and beautiful to say the least.

Many German people have come to live and work in the United States as our globe has gotten smaller thanks to the jets that move us around so quickly.

A little slice of Germany exists at the Goethe Institute where you can mix and network or simply make friends. If you’re lucky enough to be doing business in Germany you will get lots of assistance making your stay there an enjoyable and even life changing experience.

Enjoy a short video of my dear friend Andrea bringing me to the 20 year Berlin Wall Falling Fest. Because of the crowded event we took the subway from the Spandau neighborhood to the center of the event at Potsdamer Platz. (The subway entertainment is provided by Eastern European musicians that are a product of the fall of communism.)

It’s not your Father’s FBI

Washington, DC—They were the Gangbusters, the brave government agents that chased bank robbers, across state lines. They created a nationwide intelligence operation to deal with all manner of crime and created a huge database of criminals, stolen property and crime statistics. they were the FBI.

The former director, J. Edgar Hoover went out of his way to court public opinion and Hollywood in a massive public relations move that constructed a rock solid image. Agents were large males educated as lawyers and accountants. There was no room for affirmative action in an agency that seemed to seek Arian perfection. The FBI has always been about image rather than substance anyway.

Hoover died and the kinder, gentler FBI evolved with a new Metrosexual makeup attitude and demeanor. They also were given loads of new jurisdiction over street crime once reserved for local police. Gone was the image created by the bureau’s founder.

The new FBI seems to score their convictions when people interviewed lie to them. That got Martha Stewart an extended free vacation at Club Fed.

Now it appears that some genius at the bureau approved a hair-brained scheme to provide some $25,000.00 to that Dutch lad, Joran van der Sloot suspected of making Natalie Holloway disappear in Aruba several years ago.

That cold hard cash was part of a very questionable sting operation funded Joran van der Sloot’s trip to Peru where he has now confessed to killing a young woman. It’s our very own FBI that became an accomplice facilitating a murder. Needless to say US taxpayers will be shelling out money to the victim’s family over liability issues. I can’t seem to find a way to justify the FBI’s involvement in that case.

In Congressional zeal to police the world we have criminalized behavior far beyond our borders. We have FBI agents investigating crimes they have no business investigating throughout the world. Crimes in Aruba should not be the concern of American law enforcement.

The FBI needs to be scaled back to record keeping and a very short list of crimes that deserve federal attention on our own soil. Their value as a law enforcement investigation agency has floundered in recent years.

The FBI’s continued jurisdiction over bank robbery is silly since they never respond to bank alarms and rarely make arrests for that crime. We have many thousands more state and local cops then when the FBI was established.

State and local law enforcement agencies have dramatically improved their ability to deal with crime making the FBI obsolete anyway. Outside of the United States Marshall, ICE, Secret Service and Postal Inspection service there is absolutely no need for federal police. The DEA, BATFE, TSA, and EPA cops are duplicated and unneeded. The duty of anti-terrorist investigation and the TSA is better made the responsibility of the US Marshall’s Service.

Obama is Owned By US Assistant Attorney General Patrick Fitzgerald

Chicago, IL- As former Illinois Governor Rod Blagovejich is being tried for political corruption involved with Barack Obama’s former senate seat Pat Fitzgerald is doing fancy footwork protecting the man that held him over in his job as top Northern Illinois federal prosecutor.

Fitzgerald would have been tossed with the rest of the Bush political trash except that he owned Obama though wiretapped phone conversations. Fitzgerald holds the keys to the Whitehouse and Obama has no choice but to give the crafty Fitzgerald anything he wants. I’d love to see Fitzgerald’s Swiss bank account balance right about now.

Fitzgerald’s arrest of Blagovejich and prosecution has seen the cover-up of evidence because only select portions of the intercepted phone calls were released in the court discovery routine process. Of course there would be a potential fat reward for any federal judge that would protect the man who could appoint him to a higher judicial office. It’s doubtful that the covered up conversations will ever see the light of day under these circumstances.

There are those that believe that Fitzgerald timed the arrest of Blagovejich early enough to insulate Obama from getting snagged into the conspiracy. That cover-up gave Fitzgerald whatever he wanted including being able to continue on inside the Obama Justice department.

Blagovejich was counting on his own knowledge of Obama’s criminal activity to provide him with protection too. Perhaps an end to the prosecution or at least a pardon in exchange for protecting Obama is in order. The same people that endorsed Boagovejich as Governor now claim he's crazy.

Blagovejich should have come clean on this mess long and snitched off Obama long ago. Now we have to hope that his defense team can artfully expose what the prosecutor and judge desperately wants to keep under wraps, Obama’s involvement in the conspiracy. Are we going to pretend that Obama was not trying to get that key senate appointment for a loyal and trusted comrade?

Blagovejich was supposed to have a Fifth Amendment right to summon witnesses for his defense. That right was violated by Judge James Zagel who won’t allow Obama to be subpoenaed by the defense.

Obama has a lot to hide and has all the help doing so that the Obama Justice department can provide.

Chicago’s Gun Free Zone is Killing Criminals Again!

Chicago, Il--For the third time in three weeks a banned handgun was used to shoot a felon during the commission of a violent crime!

It was just after 1:00 PM today when an armed robbery was attempted at the Fullerton Pawners, 5900 W. Fullerton by at least three suspects. The unidentified pawnshop owner opened fire on the robbers killing one and it’s believed he may have wounded a second. Police are intensively searching for the other two robbers at this hour.

It was just yesterday when Chicago police superintendent, Jody “J-Fled” Weis was parroting the philosophy of his boss, Mayor, Richard M. Daley.

Within the next three Mondays the United States Supreme court will tell the world about the lack of legitimacy of Chicago’s Gun Ban. Most legal experts agree the ban will end for good.



Again, the law passed by the Illinois Legislature after the Wilmette, case where Hale DeMar shot a home invader will block the prosecution of the store owner for passion of a banned handgun.

It looks like Chicago’s citizens have jumped the gun so to speak as they are getting ready for the return of their gun rights after 30 years. More lives saved by defensive use of firearms which is an absolute right for any sane, sober and law-abiding citizen.


Here is the shop's owner:

Pretending To Be Conservative—California Governor Candidates

Los Angeles, CA—I feel nauseous and begin to gag as I watch those Steve Posner and Meg Whitman campaign commercials. They both slam the other for being too Liberal as they run in the Republican primary for Governor. They both promise to be the Conservative solution when they’re both pretenders more in line with Barack Obama than anything Conservative.

They are both well established gun rights haters that love big progressive government. Neither are worthy of holding office in America.

They’re masquerading as conservatives to fool the not so sophisticated California voters who don’t know any better. These two are much more in tune with either the Loony left California Democrats or Communists.

The best man for the job and most Conservative is former Governor Jerry Brown, a Liberal Democrat that’s not been a gun control zealot. He is the most honest of the candidates and has not pretended to be something he’s not.

My guess is that billionaire Meg Whitman will get the Republican nod because she bought the most airtime to mislead gullible voters.

Killing the First Amendment with Mainstream Media bailouts Chicago, IL

Chicago, IL—While growing up in the Windy City I noticed that our top four Newspapers (Yes, there were four) used their power to influence elections. I felt this was a conflict of interest since they also reported on political scandals. They problem was that they only gave negative press to candidates they did not agree with.

Mayor Richard J. Daley was nothing like his pathetic and worthless son, Richard M. Daley who reigns over Chicago courtesy of his entitlement addicted majority.

The elder Daley was a fiscal conservative that was somewhat pro-labor. Old man Daley was satisfied with taxing less and keeping the job market lucrative for all those who wanted to work. The City of Chicago was once a great place to live, work and raise children.

The newspapers did not like the Conservative Daley and on Election Day, provided newspaper, voter’s guides that would dictate the politically correct candidates to vote for. Of course all four newspapers supported anyone running on a platform further Left that the regular Democratic Party. Their loyal followers would blindly bring their newsprint voter’s guides right into the voting booths and follow those instructions.

Slowly over the decades that destroyed the Regular Democratic Party and today you have the party of the Daley/Burke/Obama Crime Families. The new party principals were right out of Karl Marx’s teachings.

America’s large single voiced newspapers have brought us straight to Hell with Barack Obama and his thugs.

Newspapers became part of the Leftist political organizations and simply providing news took a back seat to propaganda rigging national political policy.

Television news as brought to us by the Big Three Networks closely followed with politically correct Leftist broadcasts in lockstep with the newspapers.

Talk radio and the Internet brought fairness and democracy to the way American’s get their information. The public is rapidly learning that they have been had and that the old trusted sources of information were nothing more than Leftist propaganda machines. Reader and viewers have abandoned their traditional and politically skewed media for the Internet.

Having a seemingly endless range of internet media sources Americans are no longer the captive audience of the old Leftist main stream.

Now Leftist politicians want to bail out the troubled Marxist indoctrination publications and broadcast operations with tax money. They hate voters having too much information that the Internet now provides.

Our Leftist politicians have a cure for a runaway Internet. That is to tax it to death. They are inventing similar schemes for cable TV and radio. They want to destroy the freedom of speech.

It’s far better that we have dead Leftist politicians than a dead First Amendment!

There’s Nothing Liberal about Our Bill of Rights!

I get misguided e-mails and comments particularly from a lot of my younger cop readers about my position on Due Process, Search, Seizure and many other safeguards in our Constitution.

Some assail as me as some kind of a Liberal. The biggest detractors from our Bill of Rights are Liberals and Leftists. They want more government power to control Americans.

Liberals want to limit free speech claiming it allows for hate. They want to eliminate the ability Americans have to resist dangerous criminals or a fascist government through gun rights. Liberals insist we force Americans to be searched without warrants or probable cause.

Liberals want to regulate every breath we take and have a law for every kind of human behavior. Liberals want government to snoop, sniff and search everyone in the name of public safety. They mistakenly believe that Americans should not be trusted and look for every way to over-regulate us.

We are no longer In the Land of The free or The Home of the Brave. We’ve become a Nation of Cowards as we unnecessarily search each other like criminals at, airports, public buildings and sporting events.

Unfortunately the way we find out that we have government abuse of our freedom is when a court decision is made that frees criminals. Criminal laws are challenged in the courts and the most important liberty and protections we have are decided on criminal cases. Preserving yours and my freedom is more important than keeping some criminal behind bars.

Liberals glorify victimization. Most of the horrible crimes against children happen as a result of parental neglect or worse. We turn the parents that should have protected their children into heroes and in some cases TV stars.

Most murder victims are people, who engaged in risky behavior, associated with criminals or have intoxicated themselves into utter helplessness. Victims are not heroes. A real hero is someone that has not been part of the problem and has instead protected family, neighbors or country

Gun Rights under the Second Amendment empower Americans to stop criminals in their tracks. Guns in law-abiding hands, reduces the victimization of Americans.

The Bill of Rights was the brainchild of our founding fathers. They were not a bunch of Liberals or Leftists. They understood government’s dangerous proclivity to get out-of-control only too well. They did not trust government and neither should you.

Our Bill of Rights deserves and requires we fight and sometimes must die protecting it so that we and our children have a safe, prosperous and free future.

A free society is a politically Conservative society.

Stacy Peterson’s Body Location Revealed!

Joliet, IL—TMZ.com claims that law enforcement sources said that retired Bolingbrook police sergeant, Drew Peterson blabbed to a fellow inmate at the Will County jail where he dumped the body of his fourth wife Stacy Peterson. They are planning to follow up on the tip of a jailhouse snitch.

Guilty or innocent Peterson would be savvy enough to never say anything to some fellow inmate in his lifetime.

Of course the large population of marginal and dysfunctional souls in our jails, are always looking for currency to lighten their own legal problems and will tell cops and prosecutors anything they want to hear.

What this appears to be is just an effort to taint Peterson’s chances of receiving a fair trial.

Jurors often believe that when a weak criminal case is brought against a person that the police have some strong but secret information they can’t share. Nobody wants to believe that our government would charge someone unless they were really guilty. Too often this myth is never fully broken by defense lawyers and the result is guilty verdicts.

The Will County State’s Attorney, James Glasgow is a political animal who wants Peterson convicted for the capital it will buy with voters. They never had a case and motivated the Illinois Legislature to allow for hearsay evidence in Peterson’s trial. Even with the hearsay their case is sorely lacking.

With hearsay evidence you never know who is lying. It could be the attributed source or anyone in the chain of conversation. People lie with ease even under oath. Yes, there are people that could achieve the same result through telling the truth or lying and they’d lie just for the excitement.

Will the Peterson Jury test or simply trust the evidence they get? Will the jury guess their way to a Guilty verdict because they don’t like Peterson’s public image? Will they convict simply over coincidences in facts like one wife dead and another missing?

Can a jury be made to understand that without a Corpus Delecti (body of evidence) they can’t convict? The two most difficult words to define to a jury are Reasonable Doubt. That’s a nebulous term to most people and too often a license to shirk the responsibility to be fair.

We still don’t know the exact reason for Kathleen Savio’s death or anyone’s culpability and we still don’t know if Stacy Peterson is alive somewhere. The only possible answers are guesses. Guesses are not evidence.

One thing for sure if Drew Peterson is acquitted this prosecution will cost him all of his assets, and leave him as a public pariah.

My Midlife Crisis

I wonder what life would have been like had I taken one of the other roads as a young man. I’ve had a life of excitement most people only dream about.

I’ve spent 18 months living in Germany during 1968-70, I visit India on a regular basis and somewhere in between have been back to Europe twice. In hindsight staying in Germany was an attractive option for me since I love that beautiful country and its people. What would have happened if I stayed there?

Being a cop, private investigator and investigative TV news producer has taken me to the most monumental criminal cases including the Oklahoma Bombing, The Montana UNBOMB case, The 9/11 attack on America. Death penalty cases and major felony matters along with the theater of the courtrooms have consumed a portion of my life.

From observing over 700 autopsies of murder victims to handling body recovery as a patrol officer at the crash of Flight 191 in 1979. I have always been where the action was.

I’ve also had heartbreak and trauma invade my life that I chose not to share.

Did I waste my life? Did I miss connecting with the right woman somehow? Did I waste some wonderful opportunities? Those questions cannot be answered. So far I must be happy with the life I made since it’s the only one I have.

In any event I won’t get a second chance to do it all again. That’s the hard part. I want to go back to my youth but I’m afraid that’s not possible.

What sustains me today, are the wonderful people I’ve met that I can call my friends. Loyal and wonderful people have filled my life.

Nobody can tell the story better than a man who left this earth way too early. Perhaps Harry Chapin knew his days were numbered when he sang about a lost love and a life he might have lived…

Yet Another Chicago Resident Defies Gun Ban, Shooting a Home Invader!

Chicago, IL—For the second time in a week a Chicago resident has defended his home by shooting an intruding felon with a gun outlawed under Chicago’s 30 year-old ban.

This time it happened after police were chasing Aaron Marshall, 26 for fleeing on foot after a traffic stop where narcotics were dropped. Marshall ran and selected a house to break into and possibly hide. Marshall apparently picked the wrong home in the 300 block of North Pine to invade. An unidentified home owner shot Marshall after he’d broken through a window of that house.

Marshall suffered a non-life threatening gunshot wound to the left side of his body. He was taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital where he’s being treated at this hour.

Marshall's criminal background includes a felony drug conviction in 2009 and a 2007 conviction for felony aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, court records show. Police say Marshall also is a gang member with a lengthy arrest record.

Of course Mayor Richard M. Daley has done all he can to empower robbers, rapists and killers by keeping law-abiding Chicagoans disarmed through the gun ban. Again we see another example of resistance to mayoral tyranny saving lives.

It will be later this month when the U.S. Supreme Court rules on the legitimacy of Chicago gun ban. So far in both recent incidents where citizens have used banned guns no charges have been brought by police.

Chicagoans are in the most danger while out on city streets and that problem needs to be addressed in the form of having the right to carry concealed weapons. That is expected to be addressed in the Illinois legislature after the gun Chicago ban is finally stuck down.

The Illinois Legislature addressed city gun bans after Hale DeMar shot a home invader in the Gun Free Zone of Wilmette, IL. This makes it nearly impossible for police to charge people violating the gun ban if the gun/s are discovered after a self-defense incident.

ILLINOIS LAW:

(720 ILCS 5/24-10)

Sec. 24-10. Municipal ordinance regulating firearms; affirmative defense to a violation. It is an affirmative defense to a violation of a municipal ordinance that prohibits, regulates, or restricts the private ownership of firearms if the individual who is charged with the violation used the firearm in an act of self-defense or defense of another as defined in Sections 7-1 and 7-2 of this Code when on his or her land or in his or her abode or fixed place of business.
