YouTube is not some government agency that must cater to everyone. They have an absolute right to do whatever they please with their wildly popular site. That being said many news organizations and bloggers use the site to host videos exclusively to run on their own sites. It's easy, free and convenient. It's also at times troubling. Should a blogger for example acquire some video like the McDonald's beating in Maryland it may well be taken down for its violent content. At the same time there are tons of historical videos shooing executions and Nazi atrocities. Violence is violence and either the revered name of the site or when the video was made is simply not relevant. For example a Sheriff's surveillance tape showed a suicide of a murder suspect with a .45 automatic in an interrogation room. That tape needs to make the rounds on blogs and news sites that cater to officer safety because nobody properly search that prisoner. More importantly cops could have b...

Menard, IL --This is where a truly horrible man was executed on 22 November 1995. I'm no fan of the death penalty but I remember well a monstrous murder committed by three North side, Chicago lads my own age in December of 1965. 66 year-old, Fred Christensen went for a stroll on Waveland Avenue when he encountered three boys including a then,16 year old George Delvecchio armed with a .22 caliber semi-automatic rifle. The trio robbed and shot Christensen eleven times because he only had $11.00 to surrender. This news story was big and the confessed killers said they were high on speed pills that were called "goofballs" back then. This crime and its punishment was settled in a plea agreement for Delvecchio that committed him to a juvenile institution until he was 21. He was later transferred to an adult prison but was released after only serving eight years total. They said he had be reformed. In December of 1977 Delvecchio met Karen Canzoneri and was briefly a guest i...

Chicago, IL --The winners of wars write the history books, not the losers. A serious battle was lost here but the fight to clear a good cop continues. There were seven counts of Elder Abuse Theft and seven of Official Misconduct. The judge put in the record that the convictions were not job related as he acquitted the officer of every count of Official Misconduct. That may save the officers hard earned pension. My readers need to know that no assets ever were taken and there was no victim. It's a very grey area of law with no appellate court guidance. I take the position there was never a crime but the fellow in the black robe said otherwise. Reasonable men differ and the officer's convictions are far from final. The newspaper reports were libelous when the arrest was made. They alleged crimes in the past that were never charged or actually documented. Have a little patience and wait until this is reviewed before you judge a cop with an otherwise flawless record of service....

I don’t know just where this disgusting video record of a cowardly assault was made. I’m sure we will learn soon enough. Aside for the enormous liability that McDonalds Corporation will have to assume for allowing this cowardly beating, police will be rounding up the thugs involved for a long trip through the criminal justice system. Three Black female thugs beat kick and ripped out the hair of the helpless victim. The woman is kicked while down and beaten into a life threatening seizure. The McDonald’s employees only offers token assistance to the victim. The time code of the video tape when compared to any 911 calls will show the facilitation, enablement and obvious criminal participation McDonald’s Corporation in the vicious crime. I suspect this event will cause McDonald’s to re-think their security policies and the cost of the Happy Meal will soon meet the new challenges. There has been an explosion of Black on White crime in recent years that the major media has refused to re...

Chicago, IL —The do-gooder and government nannies have prevailed to make America into a police state. They have increased violence through a series of laws that have made drugs and gun violence fashionable by simple prohibition. In our world anything that’s good is fun, fattening or illegal. The law steps in and makes things more desirable through simple curiosity. Guns, drugs, sex and violence become glorified as the status of these things are raised by those in government with wild imaginations that believe freedom is somehow dangerous. It was West Side Story , the great Jerome Robbins musical not reality that caused a massive legislative movement that outlawed switchblade knives. Simply think, what’s more dangerous, a unsheathed hunting knife or a little switchblade? That switchblade must first reliably open to be deployed. Which would have the stronger and more deadly blade? The answer is obvious this was a non-problem “fixed” through unnecessary law. I brought my rifle and a...

Washington, DC —Rather than accept severe cuts in a vastly inflated and corrupt budget the Leftists in Congress seem set on a government shutdown unprecedented during a war and we are involved in no less than three. Will this turn into the crisis that Barack Obama will use to make his move grabbing power by suspending the Constitution? When the cash no longer flows, we can expect the Entitlement Zombies to become violent and create yet another excuse to shut down liberty in America. My guess is that Obama knows his time as a President is rapidly coming to a close and may think he’s got nothing to lose. Will the desperate despot, lead us down the road to deceit despair and doom? Obama is at a dangerous crossroad, what will he do?

Washington, DC—The attacks are here, on our personal liberty and freedoms. These attacks come, not from enemies abroad but from politicians within our own government. Okay, some religious leader wants to burn Korans and hold a mock trial of Islam. This only came after repeated wholesale murder and bloodshed by Islamist maniacs. Now the Islamist murderers have stepped up their world-wide terror and our politicians want to curtail American freedom. I tolerate Muslims that can behave themselves. Islam has made a poor showing as a religion of peace around the world and because of the actions of some of their believers have terrorized millions. I will never tolerate religious inspired or for that matter any violence against innocent victims from any religion or group. I will never tolerate any compromise on hard won freedoms in America. Here some of our politicians want curb offensive thought, speech, broadcasting and publishing. These are the same politicians that go out of their way t...

We have entrusted a bunch of savage 13th Century dwelling Muslim tribes in the Mideast as our nearly exclusive oil source. They have spent decades using their position to extort from us at an unbridled pace. The Arabs relied on us and European nations for help and technology to make them very wealthy. The payback has been a giant bite to our hand that fed the bastards. Our fuel costs are dramatically skyrocketing but soon the cost of our food and anything else will be mindboggling because everything is all tied to the price of Arab oil. I see no fix this time. The Greenies have been relentlessly screaming that drilling for oil in America is bringing on Global Warming and we’re all going to die. Of course, they want us to believe that drilling for oil in the Mideast is really harmless and does not endanger anyone. That’s the logic of the Left. The Left wants to destroy the American economy and free enterprise so their motives for the anti-drilling are obvious. Now we can pay for what ...

(Peter Leibing’s famous picture of the East German soldier Conrad Schumann jumping over the Berlin Wall. Leibing’s photograph of the 19-year-old East German border guard throwing away his rifle as he hurled over barbed wire on his way into West Berlin was taken on August 15, 1961, two days after East Germany sealed off its border with the wall.) Berlin, Germany —The Russians captured Berlin at the End of World War two. The Nazis were replaced by the Socialist pigs of the USSR. The Soviet soldiers were allowed to rape the women and children of Berlin as spoils of war long after it ended. One horrid form of Fascism was replaced with another. After 12 long years of Nazi rule the people of East Germany had to endure over four additional decades in a captive nation. The many miles of wall and border guards became a massive public works project of the East German Democratic Republic . They wanted to stop the hemorrhage of citizens fleeing to freedom in the West. Scores of liberty loving...

We have all watched our government’s politicians tighten the noose around our necks for the last 40 years. Laws were passed that have taken rights of the accused under the label of “Victim’s Rights”. No rights for victims were ever enhanced through any of these bogus laws. What has happened is that those accused are obstructed from full defense investigations and those seeking to frame the innocent are enabled. It is easier to frame the accused when witness/victims are allowed to sit in courtrooms to hear all the testimony. That invites and abets perjury. More laws were passed giving government more ability to snoop through our private affairs. Court decisions have all but gutted our rights to be free from unreasonable searches in our persons, cars and homes. They told us that airline passenger searching is about combating terrorism but it is as much or more about snooping on airline passenger’s personal business. What you don’t hear about, are the cash seizures being made that ...

Americans have been fortunate in that law enforcement officers have been selected for the most part through civil service testing that includes mental health screening and background investigations. That is followed by intensive training that includes conflict resolution, law and the Bill of Rights. They are simply trained as peace officers to make peace in our world. So they can protect us, we actually license our cops to kill, invade private property including dwellings and to forcibly jail suspects under tightly controlled conditions. Accordingly we need cops that are honorable, well balanced and intelligent enough to understand the complicated laws and the Bill of Rights that we live under. The challenge of any free society is to have cops that serve and protect in the background. We don’t want cops in our bedrooms and personal business. We want friendly cops that we can trust and count upon in an emergency. This sound simple enough but it’s not. History has taught us redundantly ...

New York, NY —They are called news anchors and they are somehow graded by perceived public trust. They are somewhat pretty people, that simply read teleprompters and rarely gather any news themselves. Some make as much a $50 million dollars a year for sitting in a makeup chair and next reading, but pretending they’re just talking to the audience. It’s really somewhat phony since the story is written by producers and or reporters in the field and not the anchor. The real reporters and producers are lucky if they get a little more than $100 K per year to make the prima donnas look good. The fact is wasting so much money on the anchors guarantees a pathetic news product. News Managers bend over backwards sending the anchors to major disasters and even war zones to make it look like their stars are somehow in the trenches. It would make so much more sense to better-staff regions where lots of news is made. They do audience market research with people that have never seen anything except...

Remember when George W. Bush was president? The media plastered all the images they could of flag draped caskets returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Needless to say I could not find an similar image anywhere made after Bush left the Whitehouse. Now that the Media has a President they love sucking up to, those heartbreaking photos have stopped. The bodies continue to keep coming and soon we can expect even more from Barack Obama’s new war in Libya. Don’t count on seeing the caskets or televised interviews with grieving parents. It won’t happen as long as there is a Communist traitor in the Whitehouse.

Washington, DC —So many Americans were brainwashed by revisionist history that they made what still may be the worst president in our history a hero. Abraham Lincoln was the great divider and a ruthless despot. He shut down newspapers, ordered arrests without trials for thousands along with other outrageous acts. He simply and unlawfully suspended our Constitution. It was Abraham Lincoln who presided over the earliest genocide of American Indians. Yes, it was that known racist, Lincoln who ordered the largest mass execution in American History of 38 Suix Indians. It was the technology of the cotton gin not Lincoln, that freed the slaves. Lincoln was a dictator that wanted to rule the states and the American people with an iron fist. The sad truth is that John Wilks Booth did not shoot this bastard when he first got to the Whitehouse. Both's good deed was too little and years too late. Abraham Lincoln was just another war criminal who cheated the gallows. America cannot afford a...

Chicago, IL —If investigators really thought there was a Kidnapping/Sexual Assault involving two of their own they’d have been charged and had taken the perpwalk by now. I’m not making light of the media reports of the accusations. Right now the published reports seem to indicate that a drunken and very promiscuous young woman willingly engaged in public sex in a police vehicle, played strip-poker with the two cops when she finally degenerated into a psychotic crisis. Was a crime involved? Was it only misdemeanor, Public Indecency? Right now, Kidnapping and Sexual Assault sounds very unlikely. There are a lot of unanswered questions here. I suspect that there may be terminal police rule violations along with a boatload of humiliation. Keeping the cop's names secret will never happen. Of course the claimant and I use that in monetary terms will enjoy complete anonymity just like that phony Duke La Cross rape victim. This case begs for a complete investigation. They will be going ove...

Chicago, IL —There may have been a time when prosecutors protected cops from even valid allegations of criminal conduct. If that was the case, the pendulum has swung the other way, and with a vengeance. The current Cook County State’s Attorney ran on a political platform promising her police hating constituents she’d relentlessly prosecute police abusing their badge. That seems to indicate that she wanted to treat cops unequally and to a more punitive extent that other citizens. That seems to be the case with the way cop’s cases are handled in this administration. Prosecutors can count on Cook County juries within the First Municipal District of Chicago to be heavily stacked with police hating minorities. Knowing this is beyond unsettling to any cop trying to get a fair trial in Chicago. Any Chicago cop sent to jail or prison would be in constant danger as inmates would most certainly stalk them. Since the Illinois correctional system’s population is 95%, non-White, a White Chicago ...

When I ask Barack Obama's supporters if they’re still happy with their choice they all say how much better he was than Geor ge Bush . I guess they did not know that Bush was not up for re-election and they had other choices both in a primary and general election. Obama’s supporters are really not that smart anyway so it’s understandable. We sent our children to fight in Afghanistan then again in Iraq. I saw little value in either war that has cost hundreds of billions and sent too many of our kids, home in rubber bags. I was never a fan of either George Bush. Obama was billed as being a candidate that would get us out of these dubious wars. Obama was the one who’d lead us to peace and peaceful coexistence with the entire world. They even gave this jerk the Nobel Peace Prize he never earned! As hard as I try I cannot think of an excuse for Obama to involve us in Libya’s revolution. There are no good guys on either side of this war so why are we involved at all? Obama was an...

A huge expense that American taxpayers must fund, are the automobiles that government workers, bureaucrats and politicians use. Most working Americans must use their own cars for company business and are lucky to get the minimum IRS deduction for that requirement. Our local, state and federal governments on the other hand buy and maintain millions of cars for those privileged politicians and their appointed political hacks. Many of these cars are Cadillac Escalades or Lincoln Navigators and such. Rather than place government license plates the vehicles have civilian plates on them. Outside of military, police, fire and postal vehicles few if any other government vehicles have any markings at all. Those using them can usually take care of most of their personal needs with them. If they are observed driving outside of working hours they can always claim they were taking the vehicle to a car wash. The worst offending states are California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey and the others...

Nuremberg, Germany —Of all the Nazi’s tried and condemned to death at the main War Crimes Trial here, one stands out as a travesty of Justice. Julius Streicher was the founder and publisher of Der Stürmer newspaper, which became a central element of the Nazi propaganda machine. Streicher also published three vile, anti-Semitic books for children. Striecher was the Nazi poster boy for pure hate. He had no special government power nor did he control any aspect of the genocide. He was nothing more than a zealous Nazi cheerleader. Streicher was simply a world class Jew baiter who published hateful material. Streicher was no more than a Nazi propagandist and a hatemonger. He’s not someone that I’d ever want to have lunch or socialize with. Stricher was tried and convicted as a war criminal simply for his thoughts and published words. That was a total Orwellian travesty of justice. The subsequent hanging of Stricher was an apparently just another act judicial tyranny and murder under co...

Nuremberg, Germany —At the end of World War Two, many high ranking German military and civilians were tried and hanged for Crimes Against Humanity. In the tribunals many of these defendants raised the defense that they were only following orders. That defense was scoffed at and ridiculed since these men and women (yes, we hanged German women too) were involved in one of the greatest mass murders in history. What most casual observers did not really know, was that every member of the military had to swear a personal oath of allegiance to Adolph Hitler rather than the German people or a Constitution. The penalty for speaking out, resisting or obstructing Hitler was death. The mass gassing of Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals and mental patients was a closely guarded state secret. What few knew was that the members of the military and government that had no idea what some Nazis were doing far away in Eastern Poland. That is, beyond relocating and resettling people on account of their race or re...
