Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow Destroys Lives

Joliet, IL—How many lives will James Glasgow ruin before he’s removed from office? Glasgow never met a TV camera he didn’t love. He never missed a chance to rush to judgment and destroy lives on the flimsiest of evidence.

Prosecutors in America can indict a ham sandwich with ease. Prosecutors have a two-fold duty, prosecution of the guilty and to seek justice. Too many like James Glasgow have redefined their mission to grabbing and prosecuting the nearest human and to generate as many self-serving press releases as possible.

Corrupt prosecutors love to abuse victims and their families by misleading them about the evidence and using them as media show ponies. The public can’t get enough images of sympathetic and heroic appearing prosecutors with their arms around weeping victims. Victims and their families somehow always blindly support their exploiters long after these cases are over.

That’s always great TV for the Nancy disGrace show on CNN. The Internet becomes filled with hate for the accused as the jury pool is tampered through modern technology like never before in history. Getting a fair trial anymore is nearly an impossible challenge.

Will County State’s Attorney, James Glasgow did some serious damage to Lynwood, IL police officer Brian Dorian and his family. Investigators invaded Dorian’s privacy by grabbing his cell phone records and computer data that with other evidence placed the cop far away from the murder.

Search warrants were served on Dorian’s home and vehicle as investigators went through every intimate aspect of his private life. His firearms were seized, along with clothing, computers and storage devices. It may be months yet before everything is returned.

I can’t imagine what the damage done to Dorian is worth. Prosecutors enjoy immunity and generally can get away with this stuff on a regular basis.

Glasgow can be expected to say the system worked and justice was done. Justice won’t be done until Dorian is compensated and Glasgow is removed by the voters. For Brian Dorian the system did not work and he needs somehow put his life back together.

Two Phoenix Cold Cases Still Beg For a Solution

Melanie Bernas (Left) Angelia Brosso (Right)

Phoenix, AZ—In 1992/1993 Melanie Bernas, 17 and Angela Brosso, 22 were savagely sliced up nearly a year apart in the same general vicinity.

In November, 1992 the Brosso girl went for a bicycle ride and never returned. Her live-in boyfriend reported her missing to police.

Brosso was soon found headless and her torso cut in half in a nearby park at 25th Avenue and Cactus. I saw raw video of the body captured by a TV news photographer and it was indeed hideous. That video was heavily edited before it hit the airwaves.

Brosso’s severed head was subsequently located in or next to a canal some two miles away. Brosso’s bicycle has never been recovered and no viable suspect has ever been located.

Nearly one year later in September of 1993 the Bernas girl’s severed head was found near the Arizona canal and the Black Canyon freeway. Nearby floating in the canal the rest of her cut up remains were recovered. Like the Brosso girl, Bernas was believed to be riding a bicycle that’s never been located.

Police believe that both young women were murdered by the same person. Police have a DNA material believed left by the killer but they’ve not found a suspect for a match yet.

These two crimes have left an impression on me for nearly 20 years. There is no statute of limitations for murder and this killer needs to be punished.

I can’t believe that this savage predator has not killed more young women. This killer is right out of a horror movie. We can only hope these two murders can be solved.

Burglary or Publicity Stunt?

Sherman Oaks, CA—On fashionable Ventura Blvd. there are countless little boutiques for the kind of elegant women that really ring my bell.

If you need a simple pair of flip-flops they can be had for a mere $25.00. A very sexy pair of black leather boots will set you back nearly $500.00 and that simple black dress can be yours for $450.00. I’m sure that these prices are attractive for women in the area. One place that can make any average woman look elegant is, Belle Gray by Lisa Rinna.

The owners of this place to throw a little extra money around are Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin. In the past they both had great shows and the income to match. Aging in Hollywood is unforgivable when it comes to careers, especially for women. TV actors have been pushed aside by the scores for the reality television garbage that insults our intelligence.

Over the years we’ve seen Lisa’s already plush lips swell beyond belief. I can only assume the plastic surgeons have earned a nice reward for growing Lisa’s supple pucker. Somehow I think Hollywood’s producers found Lisa’s lips were too distracting and that’s limited her opportunities.

I respect the craft of these actors who have struggled in a very tough place. I also know that the economy and entertainment changes have not been kind to either their careers or boutique. I’ve watched Ventura Blvd lose a lot of popular businesses in the last two years. There have been too many foreclosures, bankruptcies and broken hearts everywhere. People do what they must to survive.

Apparently Hamlin and Rinna have a new reality series they were promoting on a national morning talk/news show. During a live national broadcast with the happy couple, a phone call revealed a burglary at Belle Gray. The horror of it all! Google searches on the couple and Bell Gray were even well beyond a publicity agent’s wet dream come true. The gift of spontaneous tongues wagging suddenly sent their names into the stratosphere. In case you forgot who Rinna and Hamlin were, you remember now!

In the last few days, I’m sure there was no shortage of visitors to Belle Gray and business was booming.

Okay, I’m not buying it. Rinna and Hamlin had motive, means and opportunity to pull this inside job. Last night the publicity went into full reload with another burglary! This time with shadowy, film noir style surveillance video of a supposed burglar!

With a little Hollywood makeup anyone can be made unrecognizable even to their own mothers. I don’t buy this caper either especially when they let TV news cameras inside their store.

Is there really a lucrative fencing market for elegant women’s clothing that is sizzling hot?

Hamlin is said to be outraged by any suggestion this was a publicity stunt. Can he deny that more viewers to their new reality show will bring bigger paychecks? In the end unless someone can prove a false police report the two alleged burglaries and the free publicity will only put money in this couple’s pockets.

Hold the outrage Harry I’m sure nobody will prove a thing. By the way Harry, about those insurance claims?

Let me be the first to say Rinna and Hamlin have not been arrested, summoned or charged for a crime. The presumption of innocence is in fact the law. Excuse me while I put my tongue firmly in my cheek.

Will someone please put this unlucky couple in a deluxe covershot in People Magfazine so this crime wave can end?

Take a ride with me right past the scene of the “crimes”.

Justifiable Use of Deadly Force by Civilians in America

Some of my visitors have asked me to explain the circumstances were deadly force may be used in self-defense or the defense of a third person. I will keep this very simple.

In every state, laws allow deadly force to stop violent felonies in progress. That’s murder, manslaughter, robbery, kidnapping, sexual assault, residential burglary, aggravated assault, aggravated battery and arson. There are others that vary somewhat from state to state.

In your own home or place of business there are certain legal and credible presumptions in your favor that you won’t enjoy on a public street.

If you are attacked by someone with a weapon or multiple attackers (even if they are unarmed) you may use any weapon to halt the assault. The same is true if your attacker is unarmed but there is an obvious disparity in size or strength and a reasonable person would believe this assailant could inflict permanent injury or death upon you.

The use of force must end the moment the attackers cease, surrender or flee. You do not shoot to warn, wound or kill. You only shoot to stop the crime. Use the best police style ammunition available. The police use hollow point bullets for the solid reason of public safety. Those bullets are less likely to injure bystanders because a ricochet. In court you can always make that point if needed.

Unlike in the movies you need not first threaten to use deadly force or order your attackers to drop their weapons. That may be much too dangerous anyway. You may simply draw a gun and begin firing until the threat is over. Sometimes your attacker may have quick reflexes and turn around sharply as a protective measure as he takes a bullet in the back. Things like that happen.

Those few states with unconstitutional laws against possessing or carrying arms cannot simply turn your justifiable self-defense act into a crime over some gun ban. They may however try to violate your Civil Rights to keep and bear arms by prosecuting you for a weapons offense with a somewhat small penalty. After the Heller and McDonald cases from our Supreme Court, that won’t be easy for prosecutors.

Avoid conflicts, don’t use more force than necessary and with any luck you won’t have to experience this kind of mayhem. If violence comes your way you must fight fiercely, decisively and for keeps. Hesitation may cost your life or that of someone you love.

As I have said before if you use such force especially away from your home you should collect all weapons and quickly flee to avoid conflict with the accomplices of anyone you’ve injured or killed. They may be out of your sight, but close enough to confront and kill you if you hang around. Taking the weapons from the scene is necessary for both yours and the public’s safety.

Do not call or talk to police. Words like, “I just shot a carjacker!” on a 911 recording may well incriminate you and be used as a confession. The absolute worst thing you can do is lie to police. That won’t be a problem since you will say no more to police than, “I want a lawyer.”

Take the collected weapon/s to a criminal lawyer and ask him to turn them over to police. I don’t know a single criminal lawyer that would let you say anything at all to police anyway. The lawyer can tell police whatever he wants and he cannot and will not tell police what you’ve told him. The lawyer may tell police that his anonymous client was a victim of a violent crime and used self-defense.

Your lawyer will tell police that the gun, knife, club, or whatever belongs to the dead or injured criminal/s. The police will impound the weapon for examination by the crime laboratory and later evidentiary purposes. They may be able to recover DNA from the weapons or somehow trace it to your attackers. Fingerprints are almost never recovered from handguns.

Don’t expect to be allowed by your lawyer to tell anyone, including family members about this incident. The first and only time you should tell your story is to a criminal court jury deciding if your actions were justifiable as you claim.

Avoid all publicity. The media will no matter what either make a hero or a vigilante killer out of you. If the person/s you shot survive they can be counted on to claim they were only asking you for a ride not committing a carjacking. Your assailants will claim it was you that planted any weapons that you’ve recovered.

There will only be a swearing contest about the facts in court if the person/s you shoot survive to testify against you.

Chicago Gold Coast Armed Robber's Way of Life

Chicago, IL—Saturday’s night life in the Gold Coast area is always fun. Educated, well-heeled and attractive young people can meet, dine, dance and delight each other with their youth.

It’s been a relatively safe area but that’s changed. Roving bands of mobile African-America thugs are preying on people in the neighborhood at an alarming rate. Usually the creeps successfully rob, beat and even sexually abuse young couples out for a good time. The thugs always escape into the night with cash, jewelry, Ipods, cell phones and credit cards belonging to their victims.

The thugs carry all the weapons they wish knowing their law-abiding and peaceful victims will never violate those weapons bans. It’s a formula for success created and maintained by Chicago’s politicians for the thugs.

Last night for one group of thugs, luck was not on their side. At half past ten, four armed robbers forced their way into a car at gunpoint at State and Ohio Streets. They took the victim’s cash and an I-phone and then fled.

Alert 18th District officers somehow quickly found and pinched the four thugs. Two adults and two juveniles all from Chicago’s distant South side were apprehended. Aleem Minnis and Ryan Thomas, both 18 will be brought before a judge for setting bail and assigning taxpayer funded defense lawyers.

The two unidentified juveniles will get lots of love and understanding from the juvenile court; instead of punishment they deserve as they’re quickly set lose to continue their life of violent crime.

In reality the two 18 year-old thugs will get low bail they will not be able to post. After just a few months, they will enter plea agreements for probation and time served and will hit the streets and be even more violent. Their victim was White along with the cops, lawyers and judge. They will blame racism by Whites for their inconvenience and take it out in spades on their next White victims.

Why the NRA Supports Some Democrats

Fairfax, VA—In this election like never before some Conservative gun owners have criticized the National Rifle Association for supporting the campaigns of some Democrats.

I guess some people are not smart enough to understand that the NRA and its membership are all about the single issue of Gun Rights. The NRA asks politicians at every level of government to support and defend those rights. Democrats are usually weak and Republicans are usually strong for gun owners. Of course there are a minority of politicians from both sides that don’t always follow their party lines.

Having lobbied politicians for many years I have learned there are those Republicans that hate gun rights and will vote for every gun ban they possibly can. In addition there are those GOP pretenders that are just weak on this issue. On the other hand there are Democrats that have always supported gun rights.

The biggest current controversy is over NRA support for Nevada’s Harry Reid. Harry Reid is a nasty Leftist but he’s never hurt gun owners. His vote has always been on the right side of the gun issue. The NRA would be disloyal to come out in support of a new pro-Gun Rights Republican politician when Reid has always done what the NRA membership has asked him.

To demand that the NRA only support Republicans would be asking them to support Gun Rights haters like Meg Whitman, pretending to be a Conservative. Democrat and Leftist Jerry Brown who has always been decent in supporting Gun Rights, deserves the vote of Gun Rights advocates for that California’s Governor race. Meg Whitman would be a disaster for gun owners.

The NRA can’t afford to be fickle and disown their friends in the Democratic Party. On the other hand today’s GOP blindly supports plenty of pretenders who hate Gun Rights. The GOP has been infiltrated during the last four decades by Progressive Leftists and the long list of pathetic people they’ve supported for our nation’s highest office has been a disgrace. The GOP leadership is not just weak on Gun Rights but on nearly every Conservative issue.

I’d like to think that there are plenty of Gun Rights advocates out there that are smart enough to vote for the candidate that supports Gun Rights and all the other important Conservative issues. Harry Reid should be punished by Conservative voters because of his other political misdeeds, not over Gun Rights.

I think the GOP leadership has done much more damage to Gun Rights than gun owners realize. Gun owners would be better served venting their wrath on the Leftists inside the GOP leadership.

Lucille Ball, a Beautiful Genius, Major Talent and Communist Party Member

Hollywood, CA—I just finished watching another great Henry Hathaway, film noir classic, The Dark Corner (1946) starring Lucille Ball, Mark Stevens and Clifton Webb. Mark Steven’s plays a recently paroled private eye trying to rebuild his life and business. Ball plays the private dick’s new secretary. After the PI is targeted and endangered in a somewhat convoluted scheme, Ball’s clever character comes to his rescue at every opportunity. This film is available for instant play if you’ve got a Netflix account.

As a long time real life PI, I can’t imagine the luck of having a secretary like that in a million years. Together they overcome amazing odds and in case you’ve never seen the film I won’t spoil it be revealing the ending.

In The Dark Corner, Ball was a stunning 35 year-old looker that appeared much younger. Her grace, charm and acting were terrific. This is amazing in spite of the fact that Ball left, The John Murray Anderson School for the Dramatic Arts in New York City after only a few weeks. He acting coaches told Ball she had no talent!

As a child I grew up with a family TV show, I Love Lucy. It had its comic moments but it was more a comic soap opera of sorts in the lives of two couples, the Ricardo’s and the Mertz’s. Lucy was always up to mischief that usually backfired to the chagrin of her real life husband Desi.

Ball died in 1989 at age 77, when a recently repaired aorta ruptured. Aging and death is most unfair but the truth is we’re all in this together and none of us will get out alive.

What I really did not know was Ball’s age. She was already in her 40’s when she began her, I Love Lucy series. Her first husband Desi Arnez was seven years her junior.

This famous TV pioneer couple made entertainment history beginning with the three camera shoot of their series. With three cameras, scenes could be shot and edited together saving countless hours of setups and retakes.

Together they formed Desilou Productions and that led to many thousands of hours of programming that still seen and enjoyed today all over the world. Their 20 year marriage was volatile and finally ended after their second divorce filing in 1960. It’s always been said by their biographers that their love for each other never really waned, they just had difficulties mostly attributed to Desi that could not be overcome.

Not that long ago I had to do some business with Kelsey Grammar’s production company, Gramnet which was at the time located in the Lucille Ball Bungalow at Paramount Studios in Hollywood. I suspect the name Lucille Ball will be repeated hundreds of years after her death. She was indeed an artist.

When doing a little research for this story I learned that Ball actually joined the Communist Party and registered to vote that way in her earlier days. Ball’s politics were as red as her hair. The Communists always recruited members heavily in Hollywood because they knew that movie stars influence the masses. That still is the case today for sure.

The funny thing about Hollywood’s Communists, they all made huge fortunes through Capitalism. I will never be able to figure out that paradox.

Enjoy the trailer for The Dark Corner below:

Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act Improvement Bill is on Obama’s Desk

Washington, DC—Congress has passed and sent on to Obama a bill that would allow more former or retired cops to carry concealed weapons in all 50 states.

The bill gives a broader definition to a retired law enforcement officer to include those who served as Amtrack officers and several federal agencies. The bill reduces the requirements for time on the job from a minimum of 15 to ten years of service.

Former officers suffering from disabilities related to mental condition, drug addiction and felony convictions, will still not be allowed to possess firearms.
A copy of the bill Obama is expected to sign is here below:

What’s Better Nazis or Commies?

I have to laugh when ignorant people tell me that Adolph Hitler and his National Socialists were Right Wing or somehow Conservatives. That is dead wrong. National Socialism is what it says it is and was modeled directly from Karl Marx.

As the German Weimar Republic suffered during the depression following World War I two Socialist political groups fought for power. The Communists and the National Socialists had nearly identical political platforms.

It was more like an American Primary election race where two extreme left Wing candidates fought to lead the ticket. It was indeed a spirited campaign. Hitler’s National Socialists won and began wealth re-distribution. The Third Reich re-distributed the wealth of Europe’s Jews or used it to finance their spreading empire. Of course businesses and banks were nationalized in true Socialist tradition.

The Holocaust targeted Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals and Communists. The Nazis were successful in convincing most of Europe that Jews were a genetic mutation and dangerous. This concept was backed by many prominent people in the medical and scientific community. The Nazi sterilization program was modeled after those of the United States at the time.

The German people were misled into believing that the Jews were simply being forced to relocate which was true. The genocide program did not begin until nearly the end of the Third Reich and war.

The so-called, Final Solution to the Jewish Question was formulated at a 1942 meeting of Nazi officials nearly ten years after they took power in Germany. The term Final Solution was simple a deceptive code name for genocide that was a carefully guarded state secret.

Stalin and his evil empire engaged in mass murder equal to Hitler’s deeds but he targeted counter-revolutionaries and non-Communists. It was the winners of World War Two that determined who should be prosecuted for war crimes and write the history books.

The Soviets got away with their mass murder program along with the non-stop rape of women and little girls during their occupation of Germany that lasted for years. German females were simply forced to become Soviet military sex slaves. The Communists were every bit as evil and cruel as the Nazis if not more so and they got away with it.

Wherever Socialism’s flags fly, mass murder is the only way they can obtain and keep power.

Hitler’s reign was horrible indeed. It was not just because he and his SS cohorts murdered six million Jews and other assorted unpopular groups, but because he sacrificed nine million German lives in the process. Hitler was a much larger threat to Germany than the Jews could ever be.

Socialism is all about absolute power with an elite group of unaccountable leaders basking in the wealth while their nation is enslaved to support them.

Socialism is for you if you like living in a police state where:

1. Your children are rewarded for informing government on their parents.

2. TSA style checkpoints where you get frisked you like a criminal are everywhere.

3. Thousands of petty laws control every aspect of your life.

4. You want and need constant government supervision.

5. To earn the same wage as the hamburger flipper after medical school.

The only good Socialist is a dead Socialist.

European Airport Attack Rumors Are Nonsense

The fools in media and our own state department are waning travelers of non-specific threats, but their hysteria defies logic.

Yes airports have been attacked before but today they are now somewhat protected at least in Europe by cops with automatic weapons. Airports are no longer the soft attractive targets they once were.

If there are going to be Mumbai, India style attack in Europe or for that matter in the United States, they will happen in places traditionally unprotected or covered by unarmed and therefore worthless security. I’m talking about rock concerts, schools, shopping malls and churches that are filled with people. What better place for terrorism than a Gun Free Zone?

It makes more sense to threaten the hard targets and attack the soft ones. One thing for sure governments despite their claims can’t protect their citizens from terror attacks. Governments are expert in insulting and aggravating their own citizens through random searches of innocent and law-abiding people. Government loves to trade pretend security for liberty.

I will take my chances with the American second Amendment and terrorists any day over Nazi style random searches.

Why Our Education System is a Failure

Today Americans are as ignorant as ever. Americans have little understanding of our concept of government, and a shocking number can’t form a few simple sentences on paper to form a coherent paragraph.

Our Hispanic immigrants can’t read nor write in English or even their native Spanish as they proudly waive the flag of the nation they ran away from.

I have to put the blame on teachers and their Socialist controlled unions for the Conspiracy of Failure. Socialism can only exist and survive with widespread deprivation, poverty and ignorance. An educated population threatens Socialism and creates an automatic conflict of interest for our educators that actually educate.

A simple question I can put out to everyone. is what percentage of teachers you have had that was excited and inspirational about teaching you? The answer is always the same, less than ten percent.

To be a teacher you must win the attention of students. Teachers must be inspired about what they teach or they are unable to inspire anyone. Instead of inspiring they simply watch the classroom time pass. Oh what a relief it is to hear that dismissal bell.

Teachers are entertainers by default, after all they have a stage and these days have great multimedia tools to inspire kids to learn not just in class but from every possible source. Teachers must show the children just how and why the information they are getting will improve their life.

I never had a single teacher that would dare explain how knowledge and productivity can generate wealth. Kids today all want cell phones, Ipods, Computers, flashy cars, clothes and cameras. Where can they learn how to obtain these necessities?

Teachers refuse to tell our children that education is the path to major wealth. Instead teachers give our children the message that wealth is somehow evil in true Socialist tradition.

There must be some kind of a political correctness thing not to dare suggest to the kids in poor areas that their parents are parasites on society and big losers. This is precisely what the kids need to understand and that there is a very simple way out of poverty in America through education.

Teachers must be forced to entertain, captivate and inspire. Teachers have to be excited about the subject they teach and do so with visible energy. Teaching the wonders of science or telling the life and death importance of history should bring thrills to any classroom. Instead union teachers drone on at a snail’s pace sending the kids off to daydreams totally unrelated to what their class is about.

Unfortunately teachers are never taught the theatrical skills needed to do their jobs. Teaching is indeed a privilege.

I became a law enforcement/ Security firearms instructor nearly two decades ago. On weekends I taught thousands of people required classes they needed to obtain concealed weapons permits.

I taught safety, marksmanship, simple defensive tactics and conflict avoidance. I taught them what they needed to know about the law and liability of the justifiable use of deadly force.

The idea was so my students could safely keep loaded guns in their homes or on their persons for defensive purposes. Most importantly to make sure that the students could defend themselves reasonably and avoid mistakes that can get them killed or sent to prison.

I used lots of visual aids, video, to do this. Playing a few police, 911 telephone recordings of some well-known local very violent events always captivated my students. They all understood the importance and value of understanding what I was teaching as a result. All of my students graduated with an “A” even on the complicated legal issues.

If I can teach jaded adults about criminal law, why can’t math and English teachers instruct kids? The three R’s are the building blocks to wealth, productivity and the American dream.

I cannot help but to believe there has been a conspiracy to keep America poor and ignorant.

A Cure for Cuba’s Failed Socialist Mess

The Island nation of Cuba is a failed 50 year-old Socialist disaster. Poverty, a police state and government run industry has brought misery. Now a half-million people will be jettisoned from their make work government jobs. There is no productivity in places like Cuba that punish the productive.

For most of the Castro Regime Cuba was nothing but a parasite and welfare baby for the former Soviet Union. They have truly run out of other people’s money.

The problem as always is the wealthy Communist Party elite don’t want to give up their absolute power over the Cuban people. They only way to bring about their removal is by killing them. That’s always the rub. They will never just walk away.

The cure would be for the Cuban people to adopt a Swiss style government free from Marxism. They need to release any political prisoners and respect the rights of all non-Socialists as they embrace freedom and build an economy.

Cuba needs foreign investment to re-create the tourism heyday of the early 1950’s. Cuba had great hotels, world class entertainment, gambling and legal prostitution. Cuba’s prostitutes were for the most part very attractive American women. Cuba was a playground for wealthy Americans.

The new Cuban government could really boost the investments if they refused to cooperate with any other nation on tax collection matters. Letting foreigners buy some land and develop it could make Cuba a paradise on earth.

With the new freedom, there would be renewed trade opportunities. Expatriates would love to return home bringing their American won assets.

Cuba could be a nation of productivity, wealth and exciting entertainment. Don’t look for the old guard party bosses to worry about anyone’s welfare but their own.

Cuba needs some honest politicians and bureaucrats to put a democratic country were liberty and justice is a reality. Imagine Cuba with new cars on their roads and stores with the best products for people with the money to buy them.

Bullying, Society, Law and the Thought Police

Recently there have been two tragic suicides attributed to bulling. The most egregious one was a 13 year-old boy who hanged himself after being taunted because he was openly Gay. His tormentors committed no crime and won’t be prosecuted. I guess it's too difficult to imagine a kid so young being convinced he's gay.

The other case is the college student who was secretly caught on camera having Gay sex with his pal. The act was broadcast live on the Internet for the entertainment of his tormentors. When the student learned of the prank he became so distraught that he said his goodbye on Facebook and jumped off a bridge. Here there was a serious crime of wiretapping and privacy invasion. The offenders here face deserved felony convictions and prison.

Homosexuality has been a taboo on earth for many thousands of years in most societies. Gay bashing is not some new thing. There are strong religious views of some and that many other people simply find the conduct repugnant. We seem to forget that homosexual acts between consenting adults were serious felony crimes in many American states. Those laws were changed only in our recent history.

In the early 1970’s Chicagoans were routinely arrested if they appeared in public dressed in the clothing of the opposite sex. Today over half the women on Chicago’s streets could face arrest for that violation. Of course the arrests back then were prominently of gender confused men usually acting as prostitutes. That was despite the fact that the, Improper Dress or Exposure Law had nothing to do with sexual commerce.

I subscribe to the theory that Gay people can’t control their preference anymore than we can control the dominate hand that we sign our names with. Sex is a natural function we all need to engage on a regular basis within the parameters of our orientation.

I’m also convinced that it must be a serious inconvenience to deal with the sexual programming our creator has given too many of us. Imagine having to deal with being Gay, transgendered or even being a pedophile. These people are cursed with punishment for their activities wherever they go. There is no known cure for sexual deviation. It’s simply a birth defect.

There are those people that rationally but perhaps wrongly fear that these traits can become learned behavior rather than just something programmed into our DNA. They believe that homosexuality is contagious and fear for their children accordingly.

I believe that people that experiment with homosexuality always go in their pre-programmed direction in the long run. Of course there are those that simply don’t care what sex their bedmates are.

The lesser sexual deviations not discernable as dangerous such as homosexuality, gender identity disorder or some fetishes are more tolerable. In the past few decades, American society has buckled under demands for legitimization and acceptance of the most common forms of sexual deviance to a point.

Laws cannot and should not control even irrational hateful thoughts. We cannot and should not attempt legislate, brotherly love for those in society that are different. Even if you could pass such a law, would it ever change the actual thoughts in people’s minds?

There will be Gay basing as long as there are Gays and no law can change that. This is a fact that Gay people must take into account as they blend into society. Exposition of their orientation is usually the catalyst for the bullying of Gays.

Our sexual orientation or sex lives should be a private matter rather than a public display. Those who chose to advertise their sexuality may have to pay a price as they find themselves on the receiving end of discrimination in jobs, housing or even friends. Parents are also free to disown their Gay children and do on a regular basis.

I find that teasing or taunting of Gay people is certainly anti-social behavior similar to calling African-Americans, niggers. We all can be called something hateful and offensive over something we have no control, but that’s not a criminal offense. Hateful speech and thought is constitutionally protected activity. That does not make hateful speech socially acceptable and hate mongers often reap what they sew. Nobody likes mean people.

Emotional bullying is not nor should it be a crime, even if it is hateful. Certainly any, threat or act of violence is a crime. Hate on the other hand is mere thought and in America we must never create or allow for Thought Police.

Why Europe Is a Soft Terrorist Target

There is widespread talk of Muslim attacks on Europe right now. Europe may soon pay dearly for their gun bans because they are not ready or capable to defend their citizens. Germany has seen the exodus of American military forces because the occupation is long over and the cold war has ended too. They have grown soft over the last decade or two.

The men and women of the German police agencies are well trained but their 9MM handguns are minimal protection from the AK-47 select-fire rifles easily obtained by terrorists from the old Soviet territory to the East.

An attack on Octoberfest celebrants in Munich would be shocking, tragic and heartbreaking to say the least.

In the European Union there is no right for civilians to keep and bear arms. Europe has a fairly well behaved population and accordingly there are not that many police to mobilize quickly to deal with any significant organized attack.

Europe may soon get a very nasty lesson in the bad politics and hazards of gun control.

If a commando style attack like the one in Mumbai, India slaughtering 175 people, happened in some major American cities heavily armed police would respond within 30 minutes and engage any attackers. A lot of killing would take place in 30 minutes for sure, but he likelihood of serious and unpredictable armed resistance would also come from armed citizens. In any event the terrorists would very quickly meet their makers.

The same is not true in places like Chicago or New York where terrorists could quickly inflict mass casualties. The police response those places would be weak and slow with no help whatsoever from armed civilians.

Europe has lots of left over contraband war relics hidden everywhere but legal possession by civilians is nearly impossible in most of Europe. Places like Germany, France and the UK are preferential, soft terrorist targets incapable of rapid response. Civilians would be helpless as their blood runs in the streets. Of course the European politicians will never blame the gun bans for enabling the carnage.

The exception is Switzerland where able bodied men and women would break out with government issued modern select-fire automatic rifles and plenty of ammunition. The Swiss would put down the attack quickly with minimal bloodshed.

It was 1966 in the city of Austin, Texas when a deranged Charles Whitman brought his rifles and ammunition up to the University of Texas tower. Whitman opened fire killing and wounding scores of people. It would have been much worse but for many civilians with rifles who fired on Whitman’s position from Austin streets.

Eventually it was young Austin cops, Ramero Martinez and Houston McCoy who was accompanied by a heroic armed civilian named Allen Crumb who put an end to the massacre.

Had it not been for Austin’s armed civilians the death toll in Austin could have been in the hundreds.

Handguns and concealment methods

I have gotten requests for information on the best ways to carry handguns for both men and women.

Let me begin by saying we come in different shapes and sizes. This is never a one size fits all solution. We have what we have and must work with it.

I want to advise women against carrying firearms in purses. You may inadvertently arm a purse snatcher and too often women put their purses too close to children. There are great handbags for guns made by Galco Gunleather. They can be also locked if needed but it defeats the purpose of having a gun ready for immediate use.

If you’re going to carry a gun in a purse I say use a Galco product with a shoulder strap. Keep the purse very close on your weak side of your body. It can work as a De facto shoulder holster if kept strictly under control.

Galco handbags are as fashionable as you can find anywhere in the world. They are also better made than those by designers known for quality.

For well-fed men and women there are lots of options. Shoulder holsters can be great for men and women wearing jackets or opaque outer shirts and sweaters. It depends on the size of the gun and your upper body configuration.

Belt holsters can stick out through clothing like a red flag. There are low profile holsters that keep the guns close.

I’d avoid gimmicky holsters like the ones hiding behind phony pagers and such.


There are belly band style holsters. I like those that are made from elastic and nylon material to wear under shirts or other tops. They should be worn over a t-shirt (or camisole for women) to keep the gun away from your skin and body salt. There is also the issue of comfort.

Ankle holsters for the most part are uncomfortable and should be avoided by anyone who does a lot of walking and running. They are fine for someone working in a retail establishment in confined areas. You are limited by size to what you can conceal on an ankle. Boots and guns don’t mix well unless you’re into pain. You must remember tha is very difficult to run and draw a gun from an ankle holster.

Mexican carry is a real option. That means no holster. This works for larger guns provided you wear a strong and tight belt so you gun does not slide down your pants. This is also over a t-shirt at the minimum. Don’t try this with guns such as the Glock with its sensitive trigger because it’s downright dangerous.

There are only a few holster companies that make decent and safe products. They should design holsters your safety in mind. Sometimes you will find a very usable holster for your gun somewhere but be careful because some holsters can be more like booby traps when their safety snaps inadvertently move the safety levers of semi-auto pistols to the fire position.

The flagship holsters are made by Galco Gunleather. I’ve been using Galco products for forty years and they are the best found anywhere. They insist upon perfection and their research and development with their products is exceptional.

Let concealment work for you by keeping surprise on your side. Don’t tell business associates and friends that you carry a gun because in an emergency they may “out” you and put you at a disadvantage. You can avoid explanations about why you chose to carry a gun. You will also spare those irrational people you know from going into hyper-ventilation over your choice to stay protected.

Always carry as large a caliber gun as you possibly can. If you need it even a .45 ACP gun seems inadequate especially if you have more than one assailant to deal with.

Munich is the place to be right now for Octoberfest

Munich, Germany—The prettiest girls and the best beer found anywhere in the world are in this great city during Octoberfest. Sadly it’s rapidly coming to a close as the official dates are from Sept 18 until October 4th.

This is also the 200 year celebration for Octoberfest. I think that makes the beer and girls taste even better. Next year I hope to post some great video with a report for my visitors.

Californians Can Rejoice Marijuana is all but legal!

Los Angeles, CA—I don’t care what they do with drug legalization it will never cause me to become a user. Hell it’s all my physician can do just to get me to take the crap she insists that I take.

Now those happy cannabis consumers can lite up as long as they don’t get caught possessing more than an ounce, with little fear. The most that can happen now is a citation will be issued to appear in court. No arrests, no fingerprints, no mug shot and no perp walk! Of course you will have to pay your dealer for more weed since the cops will still confiscate the evidence.

They do want $100.00 from you as a fine you can pay by mail. Of course you have a right to make them prove their case in court. Let’s take a look at that cost. I have deliberately estimated this as conservatively as I can. The real cost to taxpayers could be double.

For the police stop, report, and property impound: $175.00

For a lab report end expert testimony in court: $500.00

Overtime pay for cop to appear in court: $200.00

For holding court on the matter: $300.00

Total cost to the city and county: $1,175.00

If they find you guilty their take is nearly a negative $1,100.00 (Oops! Bad idea)

If you do the math here it’s a lot better for the taxpayers if the cops just don’t get make these arrests.

This will not be so nice if you’re caught driving your car under the influence of the stinkweed you will wish you stayed home instead. Get ready for your perp walk and some very expensive high times.

This new law will not help the profits of the numerous Medical Marijuana providers since you get to cut out the cost of the doctor visit. Now there no more need for those expensive trips to Amsterdam unless you go there just to visit the pretty little dutch girls in the windows along the canal.

Stephen Peterson, Punished for being the Son of a Murder Suspect

Bolingbrook, IL—Drew Peterson was under suspicion for the death of his third wife. Peterson was also being investigated over the disappearance of his fourth wife who told friends she was leaving her husband by sneaking away. There is no tangible evidence that the missing wife has been injured or killed by Peterson.

Drew Peterson decided to deliver some of his gun collection to his Oak Brook, IL police officer son, Stephen Peterson. There is not a single shred of evidence or even a theory that Peterson’s guns were used in a crime. There is no hint of an evidence tampering case with this transfer.

It’s very common for cops going on vacation to deliver their guns to fellow cops so they won’t be taken in a burglary of their vacant home. With the actions of the State police and Will County State’s attorney’s office Drew Peterson presumably felt his arrest was imminent so leaving them in his home was a potential risk.

Drew Peterson took some guns including his infamous SWAT team rifle over to the younger Peterson for safekeeping. I think it’s also fair to say it never entered the young officer’s mind to begin measuring the barrels of his father’s guns. The only real issue was safe storage for public safety. The guns were not used in crimes before and the idea was to keep it that way.

The younger Peterson turned over his father’s guns to police officials when asked to do so rather than try to conceal them. Subsequently they arrested the elder Peterson for Unlawful Use of a Weapon (by mere possession) before they bothered to read the law, specifically the Law Enforcement Officer’s safety Act enacted by Congress.

The LEOSA enables police to own certain weapons even if their own department prohibited them for duty use. The Petersons did not make the law, nor did they somehow break it.

To put additional pressure on the elder Peterson officials have sought to punish the children of Drew Peterson. Coincidentally it’s no secret that Stephen Peterson is the default caregiver for his tender-aged siblings. The now, motherless children’s quality of life hangs in the balance of the continuing blunders of public officials.

The court decision in the Will County Circuit Court should either end the suspension of the younger Peterson from his police position or put it on hold pending further Appellate Court action.

Of course if they just want to torture the elder Peterson by punishing his innocent children they will move forward to fire the young cop. Perhaps the police and fire commissioners in Oak Brook can be fair now that they know no laws were broken by their officer. If they can’t be fair they do not deserve the public’s trust to hold office.

There is nothing different about the Peterson case that would merit the wholesale of violation of the Civil Rights of anyone. Police should continue to investigate and move forward on any and all suspects including Drew Peterson if there is credible evidence to do so.

The Will Country State’s Attorney wants Drew Peterson in prison. He above all people must respect every suspect’s rights, and the concept of Due Process of law. Right now Illinois State Police and the State’s Attorney are emulating the infamous German Justice, circa 1943 under National Socialism.

Breaking News! Drew Peterson's Gun Charge Dismissed!

Joliet, IL—Today in the Will County Circuit Court, the felony charge of possession of a short barreled rifle by retired Bolingbrook police sergeant Drew Peterson was dismissed.

Peterson’s attorneys successfully argued that the Law Enforcement Officer’s Safety Act gave Peterson sufficient authority to possess the weapon. Peterson was an authorized member of the police SWAT Team and trained with that rife in the course of his duties.

The gun charge appeared to be suspect from the beginning as merely a pressure tactic by prosecutors to demoralize and bankrupt Peterson.

Peterson is facing charges in the suspicious death of his third wife. The evidence in that case is paper-thin and hinges on inadmissible hearsay evidence.

I doubt that this will have any effect of Peterson’s unusually high bail of $20 million dollars. Peterson will have to wait for the outcome on the prosecution's appeal of an order that blocked substantial amounts of hearsay evidence.

All the effort to convict Drew Peterson is slowly self-destructing. Barring new evidence implicating him in murder, it seems doubtful Peterson will be under the cloud much longer.

Peterson’s lead lawyer, Joel Brodsky told me that this judicial decision should help Drew Peterson’s son who is facing possible dismissal from his position as an Oakbrook, IL police officer. The younger Peterson is in hot water because he held the rifle briefly for safekeeping at his father’s request.

Here is the Order from the Court:
