Germany’s Nazi History Let’s Plan a Summer Tour!
The Nazi leader, Adolph Hitler had secret plans to capitalize on the unpopularity of Jews and others to the point of mass murder. So began a 12 year administration of terror, corruption and mass murder. Before it was over six million people mostly Jews were annihilated by this criminal regime. What they never talk about is that the Nazis were also directly responsible for the deaths of nine million good Germans.
What’s amazing was the rise to absolute power of a man who was considered a great new progressive world leader. He was a man who’d grace the cover of our own Time Magazine as, “Man of the Year”, Adolph Hitler. Hitler exists today in every nation. He’s waiting to get absolute power from naive people that love and trust him. Hitler will rise again to unleash more horror if we don’t stop him.
We must always remember, what’s past is Prologue.
I had the pleasure to live in Germany during my military obligation during the Viet Nam War. I’ve also been back several times since. I speak German and know my way around this beautiful country.
Over the decades, I have studied Nazis, Hitler and the Third Reich carefully out of a morbid curiosity of trying to learn how a nation would allow tyranny to rule.
Frankly, I still have more questions than answers. I only know this can and will happen again.
This criminal/political phenomenon is amazing to say the least. It is an intriguing study to say the least. I’m in the planning stages of organizing a tour in Germany of people that want to devote three weeks to visit the historical sites of the Third Reich.
The trip must begin in Munich, the site of the deadly and failed, November 8th 1923, Beer Hall Putsch where it all began it must end in Nuremberg where Nazi war criminals were tried and hanged.
The must see locations are in or near Berlin, Munich, Nuremberg, and Obersalzberg.
The sites include:
The 8 Prinz Albert Street, Berlin headquarters of the Gestapo and SS operations where investigations, began that included torture and ended in a trip to the People’s Court. A terror museum stands there today next to the ruins of the original building.
Berlin’s German Resistance Museum is located at the Bendlerblok. This place is dedicated to the thousands of Germans murdered by the Reich for resisting Hitler and National Socialism. This is the site where Col. Claus Von Stauffenberg worked and plotted Hitler’s assassination attempt of July 20, 1944. It is also the site where he and his co-conspirators were put before a firing squad.
The Sony Center site is the location where the People’s Court tried and condemned Germans to death for trivial things such as passing out anti-Hitler leaflets. Here you will learn about Judicial Tyranny and the ringmaster of the People’s Court, Dr.Roland Friesler.
Berlin’s Plotzensee Prison’s death chamber memorial is where the men and women that resisted the Nazis were beheaded or hanged on piano wire. In just a single night nearly 300 people were hanged in this somewhat small room.
The beautiful Lake Wansee Villa is where in 1942, 15 elite Nazis gathered to formulate the Holocaust over a two-hour luncheon that was documented in a captured stenographer’s transcript.
The site of the Spandau Prison is where Nazi war criminals who escaped hanging served lesser sentences they were given at the Nuremberg tribunals. Rudoph Hess was the last prisoner held here until he hanged himself in 1989.
The University of Munich is where the group known as The White Rose met and distributed leaflets. Dr Roland Friesler flew in from Berlin to preside over their trial. Among the murdered was 21 year old Sophie Scholl who along whith her brother Hans Scholl and their friend, Christoph Probst who were beheaded at the Stadleheim Prison.
The Memorial Site for Dachau Concentration Camp is also near Munich.
The remains or the Berghoff and the Eagle’s Nest high in the mountains at Obersalzberg are where Hitler commanded his Total War. The view here is breathtaking to say the least.
Nurnberg Hall of Justice where the primary Nazi war Crimes trials were held. The prison and site of the hangings are nearby.
Hotels, great food, and some important free days must be part of this trip.
I also have some must see films to suggest that recreate the historical events at the various locations.
If you’re interested in taking this tour click on my picture on the right side of this blog and e-mail me.
Now sit back as watch a few videos I put up that show some of these sites:

Let me take you on a tour of an historic courtroom at 2600 S. California Avenue, Chicago, IL
The movie, The Fugitive starring Harrison Ford was filmed is a courtroom here too. It’s a rare day when cameras are allowed in and never during court proceedings.
In 1971 a violent and dangerous criminal, Eugene “Iceman” Lewis’ attempted a daring escape from Judge Earl Strayhorn’s 7th floor judge’s chambers.
Lewis, a well know militant Black thug was already under one well-deserved death sentence and was about to receive another for the cold-blooded killing of a Thillen’s Security guard servicing the Sebring Jukebox Company’s payroll more than a year earlier.
Lewis took a bailiff and assistant state’s attorney hostage with a gun provided by a court clerk who was enamored with the killer. She placed the gun in a hollowed out book for Lewis. Lewis was kept in the chambers handcuffed under guard by an armed bailiff. Concealed inside Lewis’ mouth was a homemade handcuff key from a ball point pen refill. He used the key to slip one wrist from the cuffs and dashed for the gun inside the book.
Lewis then disarmed the bailiff and with a revolver in each hand grabbed the hapless prosecutor and bailiff and began his walk to freedom.
An Area Four detective, Crosette "Lee" Hamilton heard the commotion and concealed himself behind the gray steel freight elevator outside door. In the years since this even that large steel door was removed and no longer exists. Hamilton waited for the trio to pass and fired the first shot. Two uniformed officers assigned to the court from the Marquette District (010) opened fire on Lewis as he fell to the ground.
Lewis managed to wound the state’s attorney in the hand and another shot struck local lawyer, Leonard Karlin in the butt.
When we lifted Lewis’ body from the floor there was a flattened .38 standard 158 grain lead bullet on the floor, under his head. that bullet never even penetrated the killer’s head!
Within a few minutes of the shooting I personally saw, Black Panther Party, founder and now Congressman Bobby Rush was on the scene visibly angry and shaken up. To this day I believe that Rush was involved in the escape plot and was perhaps waiting in a car outside on California Ave. If Rush was an accomplice he still could be charged with felony murder of Lewis since there is no statute of limitations on that crime.
I attended the post mortem examination of Lewis and counted 22 holes from as many 18 gunshots. The Iceman would never hurt anyone again.
Within a day the presiding criminal judge, Joe power told me he was ordering big changes. Power had ordered the Cook County Sheriff, Joseph I Woods to provide his police to search everyone entering the building. Power concluded that people entering the building, are doing it as a matter choice and that the search was then consensual. For the next month 35 guns per average day were taken from court visitors surprised by the search. Thousands of knives and an astronomical amount of narcotics were recovered. There were no prosecutions of these people most of which were already convicted felons. Instead we confiscated the contraband during a three-month grace period. After that, arrests were finally being made.
This is when and where courthouses all over America suspended the Fourth Amendment and 40 years later that suspension has become a defacto revocation. The searching of courthouse visitors has spread to nearly every court in America.

The Whitehouse Credibility Gap is Out of Control
Obama’s secret government is something out of an Orwellian nightmare. It’s un-American and just plain wrong. Of course Obama’s supporters want to ignore Obama’s redundantly broken promises for an open and transparent government.
This is just another serious sign that Obama has an agenda that’s anything but in the interest of America or even the people that supported him. What else is cooking out of sight in the kitchen of our Whitehouse? We’d better find out before it’s too late.
Every dictator, despot or corrupt politician in the world came on the scene with a big friendly smile and firm handshake. We somehow forgot that Adolph Hitler was chosen as Man of The Year for our own Time Magazine. In the first two years of his Reich he was considered a masterful and progressive leader. Everything that led up to the deadliest war in history was done in secret. Secret government must be shut down where and whenever it’s discovered.
Obama’s deceptions are a clear sign of a much larger breach of our trust. We must stop him while we still can.

The United Nation’s Gun Policy, Myths and Reality
New York, NY—The United Nations was created and exists with the promise of giving nations a place to debate and settle their differences without mortal combat. That was the grand theory.
Instead the UN has become a puppet of the voting majority. Larger nations with dismal histories of human rights never get sanctioned. The majority pursues policies that make genocide and enslavement easier for despot leaders.
One only has to study the last 60 years of African nations to see that slaughter after slaughter was ignored and ratified by UN inaction. When the UN arrives it’s always too little, too late.
Today the UN as we know it wants to strip the people (individuals) of the world any right to possess firearms. This is the number one enabler of genocide as we know it. There is no holocaust on earth anywhere people have the right to keep and carry firearms. On the contrary, preceding every case of mass murder governments first stripped the people they murdered of firearms.
In every case, before they murdered the despots always claim to the people they’d later kill that the gun grabbing was for their own safety. This more than ever proves that what’s past is prologue.
The UN needs to either reassess their goals or disband. Their existence has become fraudulent since they enable the misbehavior of governments rather than improve anything at all.
The goal of the UN should be to train and arm every Law-abiding citizen on earth so they can defend themselves, families and nations. This would give parity to the formerly defenseless and stop genocide cold. Instead the UN seeks to turn their citizens into unarmed frightened sheep ripe for government atrocities.
Today the UN wants only favored governments to possess any arm at all. They are on a major march to disarm and prevent ordinary people to resist the despicable slaughters throughout the world. This effort is setting back Human Rights in a way that would make Adolph Hitler proud.
The UN is run by government leaders living high on the backs of their citizens. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts, absolutely. Under today’s UN policy governments leader are handed absolute power when there are no armed citizens to resist tyranny.
Los Angeles Gun Buy Back Program Makes Fools Feel Good
The program was recycled Saturday here at six locations by city officials. They offered gift cards from Ralph's Supermarkets or Visa. A mere handgun would fetch $100.00 while a so-called assault rifle would garner $200.00. As always, there were no questions asked as they handed over the plastic currency to the anonymous participants.
As always, most of the guns collected are worth far less than what officials paid for them. These buy backs attract gun dealers from everywhere who see the opportunity to make a small profit unloading what they can’t otherwise sell.
In some cases burglars were paid for the proceeds of their crimes turning the LAPD into an illicit fencing operation.
Close examination of the junk collected always shows rusted, broken and totally unserviceable firearms. Toys always somehow turn up in the collections. There are only a few exceptions where decent and even collectible firearms are turned in for the bounty.
Yes, there were cases of departed grandfather’s old guns being sold off. You could make a very weak argument that fewer guns are in closets that could be later stolen and misused.
The big question I always have that the media refuses to ask is, who pays for this expensive feel-good scam? The taxpayers nearly always eat this cost in most jurisdictions where these things are done. Of course this only happens in parts of the country where governments are run into bankruptcy by Liberal politicians. Any claim of corporate sponsorship rings hollow when you take into account their “charitable” tax breaks for their less than generous participation.
Do taxpayers still have the money for such meaningless and extravagant programs in this tough economy?

Concealed Carry is Far From Dead in Illinois.
Now the bill’s supporterS are jockeying around, looking to bring the bill back for another vote. Subject to peculiar Illinois rules it may be attached to another piece of legislation or as a strike-all measure take new life as a bill that was never sent to the floor for a vote.
The fact is with a new governor or a couple of changed minds shall-issue permits will be then law of the Land of Lincoln.
The fact remains that the people of the State of Illinois are tired of being victims. The resources to keep violent criminals at bay are spread too thin. The Supreme Court said that the states cannot infringe on the right to keep and bear arms in both the Heller and McDonald cases.
Studies have clearly shown that the permit holders in every other state behave remarkably well. The criminals never have the permits but never seem to be without their guns. The current Illinois gun prohibition only impacts the law-abiding citizens who bother to obey laws in the first place.
The members of the Illinois General Assembly must beware that their job security is not set in concrete. The people in need of reasonable and meaningful self-defense have long memories and they vote.

Chilling out at the Beach in L.A.
I took a small walk along the beach to dream about my next trip to Germany. The elegant women, culture and lifestyle of Germany sends me into creativity. I so want to produce a television series for an America audience in Berlin.
This was a great break from the worries of what’s happening in our world today. I hope I can share a little of the break with you all. Sit back and listen to the late (died in 2003) great, singer, song-writer and attorney Ed Townsend sing his 1958 hit, For Your Love…
The Latest Ghetto Fad Is Massive Strong Armed Robbery
It’s happing in cities all over the United States. African-Americans gather as an army of robbers by texting or social media. They strike a store without warning and forcefully grab anything in sight. Often employees and customers are beaten during these crimes.
These brazen crimes cannot be dealt with by ordinary police patrols. This will take citizens fighting back using whatever force is necessary to halt the crime. Anytime there is a disparity of force with multiple offenders the use of deadly force such as shooting, stabbing or clubbing them is justified in all 50 states.
Should you happen to use deadly force hanging around and waiting for police is both dangerous and ill advised. Leave the area for your safety and don’t call or talk to police out of presence of a qualified criminal lawyer. You have no duty to do that and you also have an absolute right to remain silent.
As these crimes go unpunished they will become even more common. If you see a group of young African Americans gathering near businesses, that may indicate a crime in its beginning stages.
Obama the War Criminal Must be Punished
Barack Obama that campaigned on ending the two wars started by Bush? The same guy who wanted to close GITMO and give suspected terrorists Due Process and civilian trials?
By what authority did Obama order the invasion of a nation not engaged in war with the U.S. and kill anyone?
To enter sovereign Pakistan with soldiers and helicopters to make war on a criminal suspect, Osama Bin Laden and the members of his household is exactly what the Nuremberg War Crimes trials of October 18, 1945 were all about. One of the applicable charge that led to numerous hangings was, “Planning, initiating and waging wars of aggression and other crimes against peace.”The deliberate cover-up of evidence and destruction of Bin Laden’s remains shows the conspiracy of deceit and obstruction of justice deserving of a lot more than simple Impeachment.
How many American mothers will never get the remains of their children killed at war because of Obama’s cruel order to deny Bin Laden’s family the ability to bury him? They can now cite Obama's handling of Bin Laden's remains as their guide.
I’m no fan of Bin Laden but the only information I ever got about his alleged crimes came from a government that’s not always candid with their people. Had there not been a rush to cover-up this event and destroy evidence America may have gotten the true story.
Barack Obama is a war criminal who now clearly deserves arrest, trial and punishment.
Airline Security is Different Elsewhere
They searched me, and my carry-on bag allowing me to pass on to the boarding area. On my way I passed the duty free shops where all kinds of goods could be purchased. That included Victronix a Swiss Army Knife maker! I could now by a knife for my trip!
When I arrived in Amsterdam things were very different. They gave us the full TSA punishment including the Naked X-Ray. I would have had to place my new Swiss Army knife in my checked baggage there for sure. That is unless I chose to outsmart or outshoot the unarmed security workers.
As always the security is only as good as trained armed cops are allowed to make it. There was a shortage of them in Europe also.
I thought you’d all get a kick out of the knife display at the Duty Free Shop anyway.
Osama Bin Laden Killing and Barack Obama’s Evidence Tampering Deserves Investigation
Washington, DC—Is Barack Obama just stupid or something much more sinister? I say it’s the latter.
I’ve always hated how Osama Bin Laden was singled out as the man behind the Sept 11 attack on America. This was an act of Muslim group think and was financed by others. Placing so much importance on Bin Laden made him a hero in the Muslim world. This also lessens the culpability of the rest of the terrorists responsible for the mass murder.
The killing Bin Laden will only bring a false sense of feel good to a few incredibly ignorant people. The same terrorism will now continue without interruption. Bin Laden’s death can only fuel the holy war rather than even slow it down.
Obama’s handling of this event and the burial at sea of Bin Laden was beyond suspect. The rush to make Bin Laden’s body unavailable for examination is in and of itself sinister.
To not turn over Bin Laden’s body to his family for proper burial invites the same treatment for Americans killed under the control of our enemies. America is supposed to be more civilized than this new cruel image created by Obama.
Barack Obama has only fueled conspiracy theories with his cover-up and evidence tampering. We are hearing different versions of the events leading to Bin Laden’s death from our government officials. They can’t keep their stories straight. There is a real conspiracy here, not just some wild guess of shenanigans.
Faked photos with the promise to release real photos and now no photos have denied the world any evidence of what really happened. This is yet another sad snapshot of Obama’s deceptive campaign promising transparency.
At a minimum the evidence and photos should have been preserved and shared with all 535 members of Congress.
Now we must suffer reasonable efforts by members of Congress to find out the truth behind the raid and killing of Bin Laden. The cover-up and evidence tampering should be both a criminal and impeachable offense.
Obama was a lawyer and knew better. Obama has acted like a third world dictator and thug. Obama must be held accountable.

MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and the NRA
Many of the attendees of the NRA convention were somewhat shocked to see Maddow, but they remained polite and civilized. I saw this as an opportunity for the members present to invite her participation in education, shooting and gun ownership.
I have always enjoyed teaching my most Liberal friends about firearms, safety and tactics. Once they experience the defense side of firearms, years of misinformation, fear and loathing is replaced by a new understanding.
The truth of the matter, like everyone else Maddow deserves the right of meaningful self-defense. The NRA is a logical place to obtain the best available training and advice on this subject anywhere.
Surprisingly Maddow seems only favoring magazine size and extended background checks for gun owners. Those are easy and forgivable mistakes for people who don’t understand tactical considerations or how truly worthless background investigations are in keeping guns out of the hands of violent criminals. Maddow can be educated!
If you somehow only think of violent criminals being armed with low capacity magazines and never working in gangs a 10-round limited magazine seems reasonable. The reality is different.
You can always tell who the novice shooters are at firing ranges. They take too much time to load magazines and don’t count their shots. You can tell the latter when you hear the tell-tale click as a hammer falls on an empty chamber.
The thought of multiple offenders like we see in liquor or jewelry store stickups never enters the minds of novice shooters. They somehow expect a fair gunfight and expect to win if they can place a few shots in their targets center mass. The thought of criminals with body armor never crosses their minds. I guess ignorance is bliss.
As for Background investigations most criminals can and do easily avoid them through illegal acquisition such as theft or criminal commerce that does not involve licensed gun stores or public gun shows. Felons of course can never be forced to fill out government forms for purchase or registration because the Supreme Court has twice ruled this violates their rights against self-incrimination.
Gun laws such as the magazine size restrictions and background checks will always only affect law-abiding citizens.
The only way to keep criminals disarmed is by imprisonment until they are too old to commit violent crimes.
In other matters, the sharp-tongued Maddow must now hate Barack Obama as much as George W. Bush. Other than his Socialist plans to confiscate and redistribute wealth, Obama has continued the most egregious government policies of Bush.
Obama has extended and given the hated Patriot Act yet more teeth. Instead of getting our troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan he has gotten us into yet another untenable war. Likewise Obama has not lifted a finger to repeal the federal death penalty.
The fact is Maddow is simply a broadcaster that wants a well-paying career and needs to satisfy her audience. She like so many are performers and showmen enjoy getting paid for their ability to captivate her fans. I can’t fault her for that.
I’d hope no reader of mine would ever want to punish Maddow for exercising her rights under the First or Second Amendments to our sacred Constitution.

Some Thoughts on the NRA Annual Meeting and Gun Show Held in Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh, PA--I spent several days in the Steel City attending the National Rifle Association Annual Meeting and Gun Show. There were a lot of visitors and it seems the projected attendance of 70,000 may have materialized. The mood was mostly somber about the state of our nation. Most here believe our nation and its freedom is on the ropes.
Barak Obama and his Czars continue to be the greatest firearm and ammunition marketing agents of our lifetimes. The fear of gun confiscation has been replaced with potential for civil war. Politicians have been denouncing freedom by continuing to push their Socialist agenda. I guess they don't realize millions of Americans are more than willing shed blood protecting our Constitution and the freedoms outlined in the Bill of Rights if needed.
Extortionate taxation is enslaving working Americans that are now being victimized even more through skyrocketing gas prices that insures runaway inflation. The current energy crisis is the design of the Obama Whitehouse that refuses any efforts by Americans seeking to harvest vast oil sources within America.
Unemployment aggravated by fuel prices is a national emergency that will soon bring anarchy to our streets if it continues unchecked. Each tax, food or fuel price increase costs jobs and that's just what the Marxists of the world want.
Americans must survive the effort to turn this nation Socialist by any means necessary. The Right to Keep and Bear Arms was intended as a tool to keep our country strong and free. Perhaps the time has finally come when our government's tyranny is challenged since the politicians we've elected have become traitors.
The shocking revelations of the Whitehouse and BATFE conspiring to ship arms to Mexican drug traffickers as they blame our gun rights for Mexico's drug carnage were no small topic of conversation. That, while these same traitors backdoor a suspension of our freedoms through an ongoing United Nations treaty, power grab is beyond outrageous.
I have no crystal ball and can't predict the future beyond one thing that never changes, and that is, what's past is prologue.

A Color Revolution In Gun Grips is Underway!
Carol Stream, IL--Eagle Grips has led the way in grip design for four decades. Comfort, control and constant product innovation is what this company is all about. The time has come for some Eagle Grips to lead gun owners into a new era of artistry and style.
I've been a fan of Eagle Grips since nearly the day of it's birth. I've been personally associated with this company assisting with product development, design and public relations for many years. I've attended trade shows and such with this company and that's kept me close to gun makers and the trends of the industry.
The attendees of NRA Gun Show in Pittsburgh, PA are in for a real treat. Eagle Grips will be unveiling the Art Jewel Collection of grips. This will send the industry on its ear like never before!
As you can see from a few samples in the picture above these new products are show stoppers! If you can attend the show beginning Friday in Pittsburg stop by the Eagle Grips Booth at the show and see these elegant treasures for yourself.
You can visit Eagle Grips at www.eaglegrips.com
See what American Handgun Magazine editor Roy Hunington has to say about these new grips.

NRA Annual Meeting is in Pittsburgh!
Gun rights, recent court victories and that Communist in the Whitehouse will be the topics of conversation as the NRA plans strategy for the next 12 months.
The exhibition hall will be loaded with the latest and greatest firearms and accessories. Needless to say there will be thousands of people with legal concealed weapons in that right to carry state. Pittsburgh will be safer than usual with more rather than less guns during the convention.

YouTube and Their Inconsistent Terms of Service Censorship
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 been easily killed because of the failure. That video was removed and at lease one blogger was shut down over the video.
YouTube must face the fact we live in a very violent world and crimes caught on tape should be left untouched to avoid covering up the these foul deeds. Journalists must be freely allowed to confront public officials with these videos when criminal escape prosecution or should people be arrested when there is no crime. YouTube should leave the news site videos alone.
What YouTube appears to be doing is not providing a forum for people committing crimes on tape as an effort to brag about their savagery. The 12 year-olds hired by YouTube to make the call are just not up to the task.
Many criminals have been identified and prosecuted for their appearance on YouTube and that's a good thing and is sound public policy. Many other criminals have escaped detection because YouTube made a bad call on censorship.
It's not an easy job being politically correct as YouTube strives to be. So they've been inconsistent and sometimes silly in their efforts to police their site. Again it's their site and they have an absolute right to be silly, arbitrary and capricious as they wish.
Gallows Humor at the Gallows, a True Story
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 in her home. Delvecchio left only to return later, uninvited as he forced his way into her home raping her after slashing the throat of her six year-old son Tony, killing the boy.
Delvecchio was profiled again in the news for yet another sensational murder. He went through the criminal justice system that was not so kind to him this time. Delvecchio was sentenced to a well-deserved death penalty for this unspeakable act.
In the 22 year fight to spare Delvecchio's life, was a young lawyer, who came to know the killer. Jed Stone. Stone said this fellow was now a different person and was worth receiving clemency. However, the appeals ran out and on 22 November 1995 George Delvecchio was set to take his last walk to the death chamber from his deathwatch cell.
Present was the warden, chaplain, guards and Jed Stone. Delvecchio was resigned to his grim fate and had given away his meager possession to other inmates like a radio he owned. He apologized to Stone he had nothing left to give him. Delvecchio discovered he had something after all, his inmate ID card! He offered it to Stone who thanked him for it as he placed it into his shirt pocket.
Soon Delveccho hugged the sad lawyer and the two began the walk to their respective places. Delvecchio headed to the lethal injection chamber and Stone to the witness room. Suddenly Delvecchio stopped and exclaimed, "there's a terrible mistake!" He said he was not in fact, Delvecchio and pointed to the astonished lawyer saying, "He's George Delvecchio and he has the ID card in his pocket to prove it!"
Amazingly Stone and his condemned client were very similar in age and appearance as the two photos above demonstrate. The ruse was accepted for what it was and Delvecchio was strapped down and killed. As always the executioner used a alcohol swab to clean the injection site to make sure the condemned man would not get an infection later.
I just had the great pleasure of working with Stone on a Chicago trial. Stone has distinguished himself in a great legal career that included the release of several notorious wrongfully convicted and condemned men such as Rolando Cruz in DuPage County.
This and other great stories are now in my briefcase and on their way to Hollywood.

Why no article about that verdict against a CPD officer?
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 can't comment further in respect to my client who has been suffering extra-judicial punishment for the eight years this case has been dragging on.
Shameful McDonald’s Attack is a Sign of Huge Troubles Ahead.
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 report.
In Chicago, gangs of Black thugs regularly organize with broadcast text messages to overwhelm, rob and beat White people in popular stores.
Anytime there are multiple attackers, victims can justifiably and lawfully use deadly force such as shooting the attackers with firearms. The victim’s don’t have to suffer injuries before they use such force.
The sad truth is most civilized Americans have no experience with personal violence or self-defense and think they can rely on police to stop this.
On television or in the movies the cops always respond immediately as if by magic and justice is always done. That impression has redundantly brainwashed most Americans into providing them with a false sense of security.
Our nation is divided and people are choosing sides for another Civil War. It is the uneducated and unskilled poverty class Welfare Zombies against those who have rejected Socialism in pursuit of the American dream.
Working Americans have supported the Welfare Zombies much too well and the process has simply turned to extortion.
Socialism has been a real form of genocide in America as it has turned millions of Blacks into ignorant thugs that only know cruelty, force and violence. Our prisons are overflowing with them to the point of bursting. The nation’s medical examiners understand this reality only too well.
The real problem is the Socialists in our Congress masquerading as Democrats and Republicans who are Hell bent on destroying our Constitution and form of government. They must be stopped and Civil War looks like it may become the only alternative.
It’s the Socialists within our government that created today’s Great Depression and they must be dealt with for their treason. We need to arrest, try, convict and punish these criminals under the fullest extent of the law.

I Brought My Gun to High School, Nobody Died!
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 box of 50 rounds of ammunition to Chicago’s Senn High School every week and no animals or children suffered. When I was drafted into the Army to defend my country I was better off for being a member of my Jr. ROTC rifle team.
What would happen today if I took two CTA buses with a cased rifle and entered my old high school? It would make national news for sure.
