It was a System Breakdown Not Lax Gun Laws allowed the Batman Killer’s Weapon acquisitions

Aurora, CO.--James Holmes was more than a little disturbed.  We are learning that this troubled lad had raised numerous red flags to his mental condition that were ignored.

When a reporter initially contacted the suspect’s mother after the killings, she relayed that she knew her son was behind the massacre.  In the coming weeks we will find out that Holmes’ parents were desperately trying to get mental treatment for their son.

Holmes was a student in Colorado but a lawful resident of California.  That would have made any gun purchases in Colorado a federal felony crime.  The key evidence here was if he was paying his school out of state tuition fees.

When Holmes filled out the required FFL #4473 form for each firearm acquisition, he did not disclose his past mental health history as required.  Had he done so, the transfer would have been automatically denied. 

The FBI gun transfer instant background investigation failed to disclose his mental health history.  This is much more about the fight between mental patient privacy vs. public safety needs.  Mental health providers routinely withhold vital information from law enforcement, especially in California.

For authorities to say, “the firearms were purchased legally” was overly broad and way too premature.   It could be said that the dealers transferring the guns followed the law.  That’s just not the same thing. 

When Holmes attempted to join a gun club his obvious abnormal behavior was immediately noticed and his membership and dues payments were judiciously declined.

There was no oversight whatsoever of the sale oh his most deadly weapons.   Fortunately they were never successfully deployed.  They were the explosives.  By some miracle Holmes actually warned the police about how he his booby-trapped his apartment.

Explosives are nothing more than a mixture of relatively common chemicals and the connection of a detonation system.  With a little knowhow anyone can obtain and create explosives similar to what destroyed the Oklahoma Federal building.  Frankly there is no way to regulate the sale of bomb-making materials.  Police can only arrest after bombs are assembled and discovered or if a conspiracy to manufacture or use a bomb is somehow exposed.

The true status of the mental state of James Holmes will be made public in open court in the following weeks.  His only viable defense will be based on his inability to appreciate his conduct or to aid his lawyers.  Holmes has been living in a fictional comic book world envisioning himself as the master criminal known as the Joker.

Prosecutors will try and suggest that Holmes is legally sane and will argue the elaborate plans are proof that Holmes is competent.  That will be an uphill battle. 

At this juncture I’m convinced that James Holmes will not be standing trial but sent off for decades of rest and relaxation in a secure mental health facility.

As for this incident being the catalyst for revival of gun control efforts I’d say the public just got yet another sad but important education.  There has not been a mass shooting outside of a so-called Gun Free Zone in decades.  The public would much rather have had an armed George Zimmerman sitting in that theater audience than see so many innocents wounded and killed.

Americans have grown desperately tired of being forced to submit to thugs, rapists, robbers and killers without the ability to employ meaningful self-defense.  The false promise and abject failure of Gun Control has been exposed at every level.  We are also leaning that the long time and total civilian gun ban of Mexico has done absolutely nothing to prevent or even slow down the 50,000 murders there just last year.

Update:  The mother of James Holmes explained that some ABC producer quoted her incorrectly.  That makes perfect sense after the accused the killings on a Tea Party member with a similar name.

Gun Free Zones Don’t Deserve our Patronage, Boycott the Bastards

Most Americans live in states that have taken steps to allow its citizens the right to meaningful Self-Defense.  In many states however the corporate leaders somehow have been given the authority to trample on our self-defense rights by posting notices banning firearms. Such was the case at the Aurora, CO movie theater where the Batman Massacre happened.

I have a lot of friends that have told me they just ignore those signs like they don’t see them.  The way many of the signs are posted it is reasonable to raise the valid defense that the notice was insufficient avoiding conviction on a trespass charge.   

I say look for the signs and if they have created a Gun Free Zone, why give them your business and hard earned cash?  If it’s a shopping mall its all a better reason to give your money to Amazon,com and punish the offending business.

Now some are suggesting that TSA style gropers be brought in to our shopping malls and movie houses to help them enforce their Gun Free Zones.  That would and should put any mall that tired this straight into bankruptcy Hell.

Liberty loving Americans need to vote with our wallets.  Simply boycott every Gun Free Zone.  That will send a quick and clear message to the retailers.   Cancel your store issued credit cards and tell them you won’t do business with them until they respect your liberty and personal safety.  

At least a third off all Americans strongly support gun rights and any malls losing a full third of their revenue would have to change their ways in a hurry or simply shut down.

The largest offender in the nation is Minnesota’s Mall of American.  They should become the biggest target of gun owner’s wrath.  Our might is not because of our guns, but because of our hard earned money.  We can take the Gun Free Zones and make them a sad chapter of history. 

Please pass this on to as many gun owners as you can so we can make a difference.  

Emergency Medicine is Saving More Gunshot Victims than ever Before!

Aurora, CO—The Batman Massacre and the statistics everywhere demonstrate that gunshot wounds are now fatal less than 10% of the time.  The Viet Nam War and thousands of ghetto shootings have given medical providers the experience necessary to really save our lives.

Gunshot wounds are puncture wounds that self-seal because of our elastic skin and tissue.   Knife wounds are far more complex because blood vessels remain wide open from the cutting.    I know this only too well from my days as an Army medical corpsman.

Taking care of victims of violence is really like being a plumber.  You must quickly stop the leaks and replace the lost fluid through IV infusion.  That’s where the EMTs come in.  Once at the hospital X-Rays are taken and any wounds to the chest or abdomen must be opened and the damage repaired with quick and skillful fingers along with sutures.  Sometimes bullets can remain inside your body inflicting less trauma than trying to remove them.   I’ve seen bullets that have somehow worked their way to the skin a decade after a shooting and then get removed easily!

By far the most difficult cases involve spine and brain injuries.  Our vital organs cant function without signals from our brains carried through our spinal cords. 

Some of our vital organs such as kidneys, lungs, come in pairs and we can get by most of the time with just one well-functioning organ.  The liver and many other organs can be saved even if seriously damaged.

A man I shot is actually living a normal life today after five hollow point bullets struck him from my .38, J frame S&W.  If I had not shot him he surly may have died prematurely as a result of two huge impacted and seriously infected gallstones the size of his thumbs.  He was avoiding the doctors for his pain and serious alcoholism.   The trauma surgeon luckily spotted and corrected the problem by mere chance. 

Thankfully the miscreant was unable to operate his Colt Gold Cup .45 after one of my rounds did serious nerve damage to his arm.  May attacker’s injuries were critical but he was soon stable and out of danger because of excellent care at Scottsdale memorial Hospital/Osborn.

The victims of the Batman Massacre were shot by high velocity rounds fired from a .223 rifle.  They are much more deadly than the average handgun bullets. 

Our hospital emergency rooms and fire departments are staffed with true miracle workers.  In the ghettos of Chicago I’ve dealt with people that have survived as many as three separate shootings! 

No, it’s not like on TV where the man is shot and the bullet forces him over a car and into a plate glass window.  For you folks that depend on firearms for self-defense you really need to spend quality time on the range.  Of course your goal is to defeat and stop your attackers not kill them. 

I tell my CCW students that their best protection is always conflict avoidance.  You may shoot an attacker who more than likely will be able to inflict serious injury or death upon you in the process.  That can happen even minutes after you’ve shot him even if his wounds later prove fatal.   After they’re shot criminals can usually still stab, slash and shoot.  

Was the Batman Killer, James Holmes a Victim of Government Mind Control Experiments?

Aurora, CO—The entire nation has learned that a gifted scholar, James Holmes somehow went off the deep end killing and maiming scores of movies goers.  

Thankfully these incidents are not something we have to deal with often even with our 300 million plus population and recently reaffirmed gun rights.

Normally when people are involved in horrific event such as the Batman Movie Massacre they have displayed lots aberrant behavior before they manifest such extreme misconduct.  Usually these troubled souls have been arrested, hospitalized or discovered doing lower profile criminal acts long before anything really serious happens.

James Holmes was a gifted student that took a wide turn from a path of excellence to dropping out of his PhD program.  Holmes then commits mass murder and absolute mayhem.  We are all asking ourselves why and no one has rational answers.

There has been a massive local, state and federal investigation into the history of this 24 year-old neuroscience scholar.  So far nobody can even begin to explain the demons that were apparently driving James Holmes. 

I’m now looking into the science of neuroscience as I begin to suspect that the answers may lie there. 

It’s no secret that our government has over the last six decades have conducted absolutely barbaric experiments on human subjects.  They include American military servicemen that were drugged, hypnotized and programmed in every possible way as robotic drones.  

We also now know that the Obama Administration facilitated hundreds of murders including two of our own federal agents via their Fast and Furious gunrunning scandal.  The motive for that effort was simply to create a propaganda advantage for their gun control propaganda efforts.  It has all backfired and now the nation’s top prosecutor is in Contempt of Congress and may face disbarment and worse.

Are the evil architects behind Fast and Furious above using mind control experimentation on a patsy to create yet another propaganda opportunity?  Are we somehow supposed to pretend our own government would never do such a thing? 

Our own government has been caught red-handed doing this over and over.  Lives have been destroyed in the process and government has never once been held accountable.  Is the Obama Administration somehow above this kind of behavior?

We must demand the answers here.

James Holmes may not have to face the death penalty if convicted of the Batman Murders.  Colorado has the death penalty on the books but since 1977 only one man was executed and that was Gary Lee Davis who was given a lethal injection on 13 October 1997.

Exploiting The Batman Mass Murders for Political Gain.

Mass Murder Suspect James Holmes. 24

Aurora, CO—The nation is saddened by this the senseless killings by a gunman taking advantage of another Gun Free Zone.

The Liberal gun rights haters won’t let the investigation unfold or the bodies of the dead get cold before they suggest all manner of blame.  The Tea Party has already been blamed and I’m waiting to hear that it’s Bush’s fault.

I too need to investigate and weigh in on this tragedy but first I need some simple facts.  Just who is 24 year-old James Holmes? How does one transition from a promising medical student to mass murderer? 

PhD students don’t usually surface in violent events so there must be a lot to learn about mental health system failures and such here.  We can all guess what motivated this guy or where his weapons came from.

The deadly explosive devices police say he placed in his apartment were not purchased at some local Walmart.  

Before I begin to assign blame I will have more than wild and unsupported accusations to make.  I’m sure this disturbed fellow placed lots of information around the web we can study.  Let’s look for it and then we will talk.

By the way I don't think this will somehow win votes for Obama. 

Prisons and Jails Could Save Needed Millions with E-mail and Skype for Inmates.

Our prisons uniformly hate the idea of making any technology available to inmates.  Prisons and jails by necessity employ really low wattage folks that cannot grasp even the simplest of computer tasks.

Right now any mail to inmates must be opened, read and examined for cleverly concealed narcotics.  That costs a bundle and sometimes seriously delays the mail to the inmates.

They need not make computers available to inmates but they could create inmate e-mail accounts for purposes of simply receiving the mail.  Two things swill happen.  For one, the inmates will get more mail but the likelihood of smuggled narcotics is totally eliminated.  The second is that it will be a lot easier for staff members to save the communications for intelligence and investigative purposes.

If e-mail was instituted it could be a perk granted or withdrawn as inmate behavior dictates. 

I’m also a big fan of Skype.com to replace maximum-security non-contact visitation.  Why waste resources searching and dealing with visitors when they need not even enter prison facilities?

Pass this idea on to prisons and governors everywhere.  Inmate families are usually poor and prisons are located far away from them. Why victimize families for what an inmate has done? 

The Big Mistake by the Obama Birth Certificate Forger

Phoenix, AZ—Sheriff Joe Arpaio deserves criticism for the treatment of prisoners not convicted of crimes being held in his jail.   Those are arrested people that deserve the presumption of innocence that Joe’s punitive jail mocks.

Joe failed in his selection of a disloyal Chief Deputy that had been a really poor choice.  On the other hand a loyal and fine man was castigated and banished from his administration in error.  Joe is a lot of things and perfect is not one of them.  I have known Joe from before he was elected. 

I do agree with him on many issues. 

I have to respect the science of document examination and the evidence there points to the forgery pictured above.  There are also serious signs that the forger of the Obama birth certificate released by the Whitehouse did not understand codes and numbers associated with the document.  Analysis of the numbers and code revealed that the document is not genuine.  The evidence is more than compelling.

The biggest error came as a result of the age of the document forger.  He or she was obvoulsy too young to be aware of correct terms used to classify what we today call African-Americans.  The creator of the phony document listed Obama’s race as African.  That is a huge red flag because that term was not applied as a race title until well into the 1980’s.  That term and the moniker, Black would have been considered politically incorrect and racist back when Obama was born.  The proper term throughout history until the late 1970’s was Negro. The government did not change this until well into the 1980s.

Additionally the United States government standardized the acceptable terms for all identification documents.  Eventually Negro became an apparent derogatory term that sensitive politically correct Americans abandoned in the 1980’s.

This so-called birth certificate document was the product of a criminal conspiracy.  It needs to be investigated by Congress and the State of Hawaii.   The problem here is politics prevents the orderly administration of justice.  Democratic politicians have total control and are breaking the law by obstructing justice. 

Law and order has broken down in America and the government is now lawless.  All Americans have a duty to insure justice is done.   

Video--Hundreds of African-Americans Attack and Rob Wal-Mart

Jacksonville, FL—A mob of more than 300 violent African-Americans were caught on video storming, looting and doing major damage to a local Wal-Mart here last night.  Make no mistake this is terrorism and it's happening here.  Where is Homeland Security and Janet Napolitano? 

Is this the first major shot fired in an American race war?  There are sure to be more attacks before our summer is over.  The major media is doing all they can to play down the disturbing racial aspects of this vicious attack. The video has been removed by YouTube I guess it was too explosive. The truth is explosive and lots of people can't handle the truth.

Chicago Cops And Duty Disability Pension Issues

Chicago, IL—A local newspaper did a front-page story on cops who were deemed injured on duty and unable to do police work.  The story seems to suggest abuse and malingering by those injured while protecting others.

They cited a few officers that went on to new careers and have left the city never to return.  I can’t really see how this is newsworthy.  Millions of people receive similar benefits, though most are from private insurance plans.  Some of the insurance plans are far better than others.  The City of Chicago is self-insured.

Cops must say fit as they face injuries constantly.  People assault cops on a regular basis and a busy cop gets slammed into walls or worse routinely.   The rough stuff for cops begins in training where recruits are injured in defensive tactics and physical agility classes.  The human body can only take so much abuse.

The City of Chicago used to have a light duty program for injured cops.  I remember a cop confined to a wheelchair that was assigned as a police dispatcher despite his double leg amputation.  He proudly wore his police star and gun every day.   He lived to work in his chosen profession.

For some reason the city became committed to disarming injured cops whenever they could.  The Illinois courts however ruled that a disabled cop on pension was still a peace officer and could carry a gun whenever they wanted to do so.

Cops like anyone else have the right to convalesce anywhere they choose including Europe.

It was the city that made some peculiar rules  that prevented officers from working limited duty assignments.  Frankly many of them would rather remain somewhat active in a limited capacity than to vegetate at home doing nothing. 

If an officer can’t work at the position he was hired for he should not be penalized for attempting to take up another career.  Perhaps some think these cops should just curl up and die rather than try and function.

Officer Jim McMullan was nearly killed and remains a quadriplegic after being shot on duty.  He began a second career as a TV reporter at WBBM-TV.  Needless to say that was an overly ambitious effort that could not be sustained because of the excessive cost to transport the crippled officer around town to work.  He has since began marketing applesauce from a family recipe.  Is it fair for the city to try and destroy this officer’s attempt and staying useful?  This hero is only alive because he has had the will to not let his devastating injury destroy him.  

I guess we can extend this discussion to Social Security that gives disability benefits to criminals and drug addicts because they are unemployable.  Members of Congress and politicians everywhere get wonderful benefits.

We generally consider public safety workers worthy of the promise that if they are injured taking risks on our behalf that they will be treated well.   We cannot lose sight of what we ask these men and women to do for us.  We must continue to protect them and their future. 

The American Economy and Way of Life is as dead as Dillinger

Washington, DC—We are over-populated with the ignorant, the needy and criminals.  Government at every level is over-bloated and cannot be sustained.  Pensions everywhere are bankrupt or will be very soon. 

We have taxed the productive people to the point of forcing them to flee a very real form of slavery.  We have become  a police state.  American citizenship has been greatly devalued.

There is little incentive to manufacture products here.  The nation is at a point of despair.   With our massive economic downturn government at every level has grown and become even more oppressive.

Soon you can expect critics of government corruption and mismanagement to be silenced and their words banned as Hate Speech. 

Every business we drive away from our shores brings unemployment.  That takes significant numbers of productive people and places them on the dole.  In turn creates more helpless dependents that become too discouraged to ever be productive again.

We’ve allowed or public school system to become a program for day care, complete with free breakfast and lunch.  American teachers have been programed into being uninspiring, pathetic and totally mediocre.   Teachers have been reduced to only being concerned with their unions, tenure and seniority. Our children graduate from high schools as barely functional illiterates. 

We have let our politicians turn the Drug War and threat of terrorism into a massive freedom stealing, government jobs program.

We have forced Americans and legal aliens to compete with millions of illegal aliens for work, housing, medical care and government entitlements.  The illegal aliens manage to unlawfully find their way into the voting booths supporting politicians that give them our precious tax money.

We are getting much closer to the society envisioned by the prophetic, film Soylent Green.  Euthanasia, forced abortions along with more enslavement and misery is in our future. 

Passports and the ability to leave America will be reserved for the politically connected.   A new, Berlin Wall is in the making.  It’s only a matter of time before our citizens  begin to risk their lives to immigrate to non-Communist nations.  Will we be imprisoned or perhaps shot if we are discovered trying to flee?

The upcoming Presidential election simply is a race between two known Socialists.  No matter who wins, Americans lose.  The two-party political system in America is dead.

Perhaps the only salvation will be for freedom loving Americans to take to arms as our founding fathers knew we would have to some day.  What that means is we will suffer some serious population reduction in the form of yet another horrible human  holocaust.

We can either choose to live as slaves to a Fascist police state or we can re-earn our freedom through massive human sacrifice.  The entrenched Socialists in the Congress and Whitehouse have no intention of simply restoring our Bill of Rights. 

Governments are never the solution and always the problem.  Our founding fathers understood this only too well. 

If I sound pessimistic it’s because of the fact that what’s past is always prologue.  It is the inherent failing of the human race.   A second and much bloodier Civil War is inevitable in America.

It’s time for a Chicago Parking Meter Revolt

Chicago, IL—I got a rude surprise the other day when I went to lunch with a delightful Belgium actress. We went to an old hangout, R.J. Grunts near Clark Street and Dickens Ave. I did not know about the new pay stations and there were none in sight.

I parked and we had a nice lunch. When I returned I discovered that some civilian issued my borrowed Hummer two computer-generated citations. I also failed to notice that the vehicle I was driving was missing a front license plate. I was sandbagged and became an extortion victim to the tune of $110.00.

Because of this crappy experience I have purchased my last meal in Chicago, ever. I will only dine in the suburbs from now on. I won’t shop or buy gasoline in that city. Chicago won’t get a dime from me ever again.

If I had any free time at all I would have destroyed as many parking pay stations as I could for sweet revenge. I know my cop friends have no interest in catching anyone destroying these devices that are strangling everyone with excessive fees and draconian enforcement.

The machines are there for one reason, corruption.   In days gone by getting seats in popular restaurants at noon was a challenge. Not anymore because, like me the former customers have little interest in supporting crooked politicians and their friends.

 I’m so glad I don’t live in Chicago anymore.

Surviving Crime at Chicago’s Marina City

Chicago, IL—I lived at Marina City for about eight years during the 1970’s.  It was a safe place, well at least people thought so, but I soon learned ignorance was bliss.

In this nice building containing 900 apartments there was a grocery store, drug store, dry cleaners, a three screen movie theater, ice skating rink, bowling alley and health club.  Of course don’t let me forget the marina below that could at one time store 900 boats. 

I was one of several cops that lived in the building. As cop we had perks such as the ability to park and retrieve our own cars.  The parking garage needed all the help they could get keeping local thugs from stealing cars or vehicle contents.  Of course our encounters with criminals were, for the most part  kept under wraps as not to disturb the residents. 

I liked to walk to Pizzeria Uno or the Billy Goat to bring back some of what I consider the more important food groups.  Occasionally I’d encounter prolific African-American criminals  out on the prowl looking for victims at night.  I had tombstone courage back then and usually a large gun or even two to deal with anything dangerous. 

I also handled security at an off-duty gig at the old Continental Trailways Bus Terminal at 20 E. Randolph.  Sometimes it was a chore to be able to avoid trouble while walking to this job because of the local thugs.  Yes, I made numerous arrests near Marina City over the years.

Crime in the building was somehow considered rare to Marina City residents.  I guess two known murders, a dozen home invasions in a decade qualifies as rare. 

Of course there was that one-man crime wave during this period by one of the brave knights hired by the building to keep it safe.  Al Washington was an armed and uniformed guard licensed and working for The Andy Frain Security Company. 

Somehow Washington got ahold of the master keys to the apartments.  This was during the transition period when the building was being converted to condominiums.  Washington simply entered apartments and took whatever he could carry.  Cash, guns jewelry, cameras simply vanished.  We could only imagine what the highly identifiable and recognizable Washington would have done to anyone who discovered him in the act.

During that period there were more than a few people that were thought to have committed suicide after they fell, jumped or were pushed off their balconies.  It was always the same, their bodies created a monumental mess and police would find their apartment doors locked.

It was manager Morris Swibel, not the cops that cracked this case by grilling the nervous and sweating Washington in his office.  Swibel suggested that the security guard wipe the sweat off his face.  Washington pulled out a handkerchief  from his pocket and the master keys popped right out on Swibel’s desk!  I can’t prove Washington murdered anyone but I can’t help but think about that suicide scenario.  Of course Washington had the keys, motive, means and opportunity. 

If you wonder why I write about this now, it is to educate the residents of Marina City and similar yuppie apartment dwellers of the very real dangers that they often don’t appreciate.  These are the same people that wear seat belts while driving cars and helmets when on bicycles.  But they’re never prepared for the very real possibility rape, robbery, or murder.

My neighbors in the 1970’s were no different than today’s residents.  They thought that the cops and building security workers were quick and efficient.    The truth is that that’s a myth for sure.  There’s never a cop when you need one.   Jim Reardon was both a cop and armed when he was murdered in the walkway by the old  Marina City coffee shop.

Folks, despite what you have been brainwashed to believe.  It is you, not the police or security workers responsible for the safety of you and your families.  Most city dwellers are simply brain dead when it comes to planning how to survive. 

A whistle, cell-phone or a can a pepper spray is truly worthless in the face of a determined attacker.  You are going to take a trip to the hospital or morgue if you are not prepared to take meaningful steps to protect yourself.   You need training and a handgun as much or more than seatbelts and helmets.

Don’t worry about Chicago’s unconstitutional gun laws.  They are no longer enforceable anyway.  Training is important as well is a sufficient size gun.  Use the gun if you must then flee for your own safety after you use it because your attacker/s may have more accomplices nearby. 

Do not call police or answer questions if they contact you after a shooting.  Ask for a lawyer.   You have no duty to report your use of deadly force or answer questions.  Any lawyer will tell you that cooperating with police after a shooting s a terrible idea. 

Go home, settle down and be glad you survived.

It’s time that you reevaluate your own worth as a person.  You are important to your families, employers and friends.  You have an absolute duty, not just a right to protect yourself.  Don’t let Chicago’s pathetic politicians deprive you of your right to exist. 

If you wound or kill an attacker,  it was him not you that sealed his fate.  You also will be doing others a favor by incapacitating a dangerous felon perhaps forever. 

Creatively Dealing With Mob Violence without Firearms

Chicago, IL—I had lunch yesterday with a lovely retired lady cop in the Windy City.   She has enjoyed retirement as she plots her exit from Illinois tax slavery and this corrupt and bankrupt metropolis.

After lunch I walked this gal to her car and we talked about how the law abiding citizens and how they are forced to become bait for mobs of thugs by unconstitutional gun laws forced upon them by moronic politicians.  To my surprise she had a very creative and effective solution!

With the plague of criminal Flash Mobs violently assaulting tourists and yuppies in Chicago's Loop and Near North Gold Coast areas people need protection. 

Of course because of HR 218 (The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act) she can carry a loaded firearm nearly anywhere she wants.  But her first line of defense is not the gun!  She’s got a big can of Raid Insect killer!

As scientists have raced to find non-lethal and non-toxic sprays like tear gas and pepper spray that will only temporarily disable an attacker there are other ways.

The pepper sprays are not so reliable.  Drunks  and insane attackers don’t respond well to the gentle applications of the non-lethal stuff.

The answer is in the deadly chemicals the Insect killer provides.  Permanent blindness and death can result with the application.  Of course you need to get the spray to your attackers before they get to you.  The Wasp and Hornet spray is perfect because it’s designed to spray 20 feet to kill entire nests of these aggressive insects.

No cop can arrest anyone for mere possession of a spray can even though many jurisdictions have gone out of their way to ban even non-lethal defense weapons!

Of course deploying insect spray on an attacker must be because your attackers have reasonably placed you in fear of being beaten, robbed, raped, seriously injured or killed.  Anytime you have more than one attacker deadly force through the use of deadly weapons are justified.

It’s really very simply spray your assailants directly in the eyes and faces.  Let the thugs suck in the fumes of today’s version of Zyclon B!  Then make your escape.

As always if the police are able to locate you later you should immediately say nothing beyond requesting to have a lawyer.  Don’t deny or admit anything!  Of course telling them you had to use the spray to defend yourself may well get you arrested.

The Fourth of July Meaning is lost on the American IPhone Generation

Most young Americans don’t really understand the significance of the Fourth of July beyond fireworks and a holiday.  They don’t seem to understand or care that this was the day a brave and emerging nation said no to extortionate taxation, big government and tyranny.

As long as this generation have their IPhones, IPads and filled Starbucks cup life is beautiful.  They are far more concerned with manufactured, no talent celebrities of today’s mindless reality television shows than the heroes that made their comforts possible.

They more than willingly line up at every airport like frightened sheep for the government goons hired by TSA.  The IPhone generation, just don’t see the staggering loss of Liberty anymore than Germany’s population did in1933.  They certainly don’t understand what drove the brave American heroes of 1776 to stand up against tyranny instead of simply cooperating with their government.

The Drug War and the War on Liberty have destroyed our hard won freedom over the last five decades.  We are being taxed at a rate that would be absolutely unimaginable to the signers of the Declaration of Independence. 

In the last 236 years, ambitious lawmakers have manufactured every possible kind of exception to our precious Bill of Rights.  Today they are viewed as counter-productive to public safety and security or some relic of history that’s no longer needed. 

Politicians have brainwashed the IPhone Generation into believing that government can make all of their most important personal decisions for them. 

Frankly the signers of the Declaration of Independence knew that a complacent population would someday allow liberty and freedom slip away.  They gave us the right to keep and bear arms and free speech.  Our politicians have curbed these rights as dangerous.  Today speech against government is considered Hate Speech.

The second Amendment was intended to be especially dangerous to despotic politicians.   Our founding fathers absolutely intended for the population to replace ballots with bullets whenever liberty was threatened.  

Our founding fathers made sure that every public official would be required take an oath to support, defend and protect the Constitution before they could hold office.   The IPhone Generation simply turns their eyes away when our politicians tamper with liberty.

The IPhone Generation must not care much about their children. 

IPhone and IPad Video Journalism is for You Too!

I don’t care where you live on this planet history is constantly being made.  You can either, observe and trust your memory or capture events forever on a quality camera. Trust me making videos pays!

I’m a believer in using the raw power of capturing moments that will otherwise be lost forever, especially when there is no discernible cost involved.  When in doubt I shoot video with the best camera I have available.

When it comes to video the rules are simple, hold the camera as still as possible, get as close as possible to your subject and let  every shot roll for at least 15 seconds.  Keep the camera rolling gathering more video not less!  Only use the zoom when you can’t come in for the close-up.  Tight zooming without a steady tripod increases camera shake dramatically and shaky video is trash.

Always shoot the video horizontal and never vertical.  Your video needs to conform with our wide screen TV sets.  

The other thing you need to do is ask questions to the subjects you're shooting on video.  Here is an example, you are shooting video of person being placed in the back seat of a police car.  You can quietly shoot the video or ask the suspect, why is he being arrested?  He may try to convince you his actions were justified or confess to a crime.  Whatever he says to you is always pure gold!  Keep them talking!  Smart cops won’t interfere with your questions because they know that the more a suspect talks the more they will incriminate themselves. 

Getting up close is the only way you can get good audio when using a camera’s on board microphone.  Trust me, you need good audio.  Professionals use wireless hand-held or Lavaliere clip on microphones kept close to the sound source.  You will be okay with you your on board microphone as long as you stay close as possible.

The latest versions of the IPhone and IPad come with amazing cameras for both still and video photography.  You can easily and professionally edit what you shoot in the $5.00 IMovie app.  IMovie even provides titling, music and sound effects you can add! It can be done on the IPhone but editing is much easier on the IPad or a laptop computer.

Always carrying a camera is like buying a 24/7 lottery ticket,  it can pay big bucks at any second!  Being in the right place at the right time and capturing video pays!  Media giants are waiting to write you a generous check for anything newsworthy. 

Over the last several years I have been paid handsomely for video I never expected would even seem interesting.   Video shots of historic moments like the Rodney King beating,  Kennedy assassination, Kent State Shooting, or celebrity missteps can sometimes bring you a six-figure check.  

You have the need to always carry a cell phone so when making that purchase why not make sure it has a topnotch little HD camera built in?

Practice deploying that camera quickly.  You don’t want to be fumbling when you could be capturing history and earning the price of that badly needed new car. 

Everyone should learn how to do a simple reporter’s package.   That is the typical TV news story that should not be longer than two minutes in length.  You shoot, edit and later add narration of an event.  Practice on a simple project like the building of a tree house or your kid’s first lemonade stand.  Don’t forget to interview your kids on camera!

Never give your video away for free just so you can see it on TV.  Don’t load it up on YouTube either unless you have exhausted efforts to sell what you have captured.   The media buyers will tell you what to do with the video and you will be precluded from revealing to others what you were paid. 

Below is the first test video I captured and edited on my new IPad.   I finished the job and up loaded it on YouTube in less than 15 minutes!  This exercise was done by me simply so I could become familiar with the IPad and IMovie app.   The sound is both natural and the added effects built in to the IMovie application. 

Here is a second IPad created video that shows what I had for lunch one day near Chicago.
