Open Carry of Firearms in America, a good idea?

Phoenix, AZ—Let me begin by saying I’m a lifelong advocate of Gun rights.  I believe the Second Amendment and the Bill of Rights deserves protection to the point of spilling blood and death.  Politicians that advocate the abolition of any portion of our freedom belong on the gallows in my opinion.  There is a proper political way to amend the Constitution we should all respect.  That’s certainly not by a simple 50%+1 legislative vote in our Republic.

Nobody should disagree that when things go South and they do in a hurry, you need all of the tactical surprise you can get. If you think exposed carry is a deterrent you should talk to all the widows and orphans of the uniform police officers that were killed despite their exposed weapons.

There are a lot of Americans that want and demand the right to carry exposed and loaded firearms in public.  Although I too agree that this actually and already our right despite carry bans passed by some of our pathetic politicians.  

Carrying an exposed firearms lawfully even in a gun rights friendly state can earn you a permanent felony conviction, lengthy prison stretch, bankruptcy, loss of job and even family. 

Preposterous you say?  You are living in a fantasy world if you don’t believe that can happen. I have seen it happen with my own eyes numerous times in Arizona!

The story is always the same, someone sees you with a gun that either doesn’t like you, or they don’t like your gun and they simply call the police. They make a bogus claim that you pulled the gun and pointed at them in a menacing way.  The police respond and listen to the bullshit story told by your adversary, the police ask this clown to describe the weapon that he claims you used against him. 

Since you had your gun exposed, he can answer that question very easily.  Of course the cop is going to ask you for your side of the story.  You’re probably going to tell him that you never pulled your gun on the guy.

Then the cop simply takes you gun, places you in handcuffs and properly arrests you for Aggravated Assault with a firearm.  He has all the probable cause he needs because he has a complaining witness, and you possess the gun he described.  

You’re then booked into jail and brought before a judge (within 72 agonizing hours) that will set bail.  You’d better hope the judge is in a good mood and you can post the amount he or she sets. 

You now will need a lawyer that will demand thousands of dollars up front.  Prosecutors will offer you a felony plea agreement that gets you probation, lost gun rights for life, a fine and they will confiscate your gun.  Your lawyer will then suggest you take the deal because the risk for prison is far too great.  

You’re innocent, and you refuse, so now it will take over a year before you’ll be put on trial. The jury will hear the evidence and will simply take a wild guess as to who is telling the truth.  The jury is not told nor do they have a clue what the penalty for conviction will be.  The minimum penalty in AZ is five solid years in prison with no parole possible.  You could possibly win this court battle or not. 

Now I’m going to give you my six reasons why you should never carry an exposed firearm.

One:  Carrying concealed gives you a huge tactical advantage over your adversaries. Why in the world would you give that up?

Two:  Carrying exposed makes you a target for a larger thug seeking to strong arm your gun away.   

Three:  An exposed gun invites confrontations from mentally unstable people that may not end well.

Four: This too often attracts unnecessary attention and gossip you don’t want or need.

Five:  you may be falsely , arrested and convicted of a crime.

Six: Many people are unreasonably frighted by the sight of someone with a gun.  Simple kindness suggests we don’t cause them unnecessary stress. 

Let me also say for many decades Arizona only allowed exposed carry and the risk of carrying exposed outweighed the danger of being arrested for unlawfully carrying concealed, a simple misdemeanor.  

Never forget your Fourth Amendment protects you from unreasonable search and seizure.  Peaceable behavior and driving sober will do a lot to shield you and even your “unlawfully” carried concealed weapon.  

 

Correctional Departments are the Rectum of The Criminal Justice System.

 USA— Let me begin this story by telling you that our criminal justice system, and our correctional system is a total, dysfunctional disgrace.  We put people away based on the nebulous term, reasonable doubt. I don’t care who tries to define the term it comes out differently for everybody.  We have to face it that innocent people are convicted every day for a multitude of reasons, including corrupt police investigations.

Most people put in prison are there based on their own words.  These for the most part are dangerous and psychotic people that must stay in cages.  Our prisons are cruel places, particularly for the innocent. The clash of race and cultural diversity very often ends in extortion, robbery, rape and of course murder.  Prison guards cannot simply police incorrigible inmates. Many prisons let the inmates run the asylum and I say that seriously.  It’s much easier for the politicly appointed prison staffers to leave their work to the inmates. 

Our society is not smart enough to segregate our prisons, keeping those groups antagonistic to one another far apart.  Apparently, our politicians have no clue or simply don’t care what goes on in our prisons.  That as the corrections staffers release statistics that too often have more padding in them than my high school prom! 

Medical or dental care in our prisons is a continuing scandal.  The lowest bid medical contractors all seem to specialize in malpractice. A prison sentence is not intended to be the death penalty.  instead, we hope that people incarcerated somehow find redemption while they’re locked away from society.  

Let me be the first one to admit there’s no real treatment or cure for career criminals other than advanced age, major disability or death. Rehabilitation efforts are a redundantly proven to be a  lost cause. Public safety demands that criminals and psychopaths be segregated from society.  

There are plenty of non-profit organizations out there selling snake oil rehabilitation cures to our  government agencies.  The contracts are of course are then awarded most often with generous kickbacks for our beloved politicians. 

Accept in rare circumstances a child raised in a home with a bankrupt culture of ignorance, violence, theft, and substance abuse is doomed to become like his immediate elders. We choose to ignore bad cultural behavior for fears of being accused of racism.  Instead we created an absolute form of Genocide.  No race or group can escape from this.

Unfortunately we are doomed to repeat our mistakes.  

Requiem for a once wonderful Chicago restaurant. Twin Anchors is Now Dead to me…

Chicago—As a young adult in the late 1960’s I lived in Chicago’s trendy, Old Town Neighborhood.  Just a few blocks West of me on Sedgwick at Eugenie Streets stood a neighborhood bar and restaurant, Twin Anchors.  I was told they served up the best BBQ ribs anywhere.  Yes, they did!  It was a cozy place where young professionals gathered after work.  Many people found their spouses there.  As a Chicago cop it was a great choice to bring my dates.  (Back then women were nearly all, meat eaters unlike today.)

It was a marvelous place to dine especially for their BBQ pork ribs.  Cooking ribs is a real art.  Most people try hard and wind up with a greasy mess.   Fortunately for those pretenders a decent sauce can cover up a culinary disaster, but heartburn is sure to `follow.  Twin Anchors made tasty ribs that weren’t greasy or too heavy.  Their ribs were heavenly. 

While you were waiting, your server would bring you two slices of tasty black bread with butter.  You of course could begin with salad.  For a side, a baked potato was the favorite.  

The place was so popular parking was always a challenge.  The servers were prompt and friendly.  

I moved away from Chicago to open my detective agencies in Arizona and California.  I’d return to the Windy City often and visit the best restaurants of anywhere on the globe.  I was last at Twin Anchors (with a boss I had as a teenager) before the China Virus was unleashed upon the world.  It was just as I remembered.  

At the end of April of this year I returned with a lady friend I dated and took there many years ago.  She was living in the Southwestern suburbs and the geography made returning to Twin Anchors all but impossible for her but she was excited to have dinner with me there after two decades.

When crooner, Frank Sinatra came to Chicago and wanted ribs, he knew to go to Twin Anchors.  You could sit in the actual seat where he sat, and perhaps even farted if you so desire.  Also, the delightful, Bonnie Hunt movie, Return to Me was filmed there.  They rearranged the place into an italian restaurant for the film

What’s changed since my last visit you ask? A lot!  It’s now a dining failure loaded with lamest excuses, ever.  

A host seated us at a table he claimed was Sinatra’s favorite.  However in the past I was told it was the large center booth at the bar area. Why the unnecessary subterfuge? 

Our server came took our order telling us they didn’t get their delivery of potatoes that day.  I guess they’d also claim if we asked that all of the local grocery stores had the same problem.  

While we waited, no black bread or any whatsoever came to our table.  Their excuse? The bakery they bought it from has gone out of business more than a year earlier.  Chicago must have run out of all their bakeries too!  Again, the lamest of excuses. 

I ordered baked beans as a substitute for the baked potato.  It had some slimy mystery ingredient that tasted strange.  I skipped it. 

As for the ribs themselves, we both ordered half slabs but they were unusually small.  The ribs and sauce were very good but left us hungry for more.  Our complaints fell on deaf ears.  This was and will be our last visit to Twin Anchors. 

What happened to this place? My first thought was the place has new and very incompetent owners.  Or perhaps the owners retired or passed away leaving it to their children that hate the business.  Whatever happened it has been fatal,  Twin Anchors, may you, Rest in Peace. 

The Second Chicago Fire

 

The Second Chicago Fire. 

Chicago, IL -There is no possibility that Chicago can survive as a place to visit, live or work for civilized people.  We have a group of politicians that absolutely hate police and white people.  They actually want our city to be in the dangerous state of chaos.  

These politicians were elected by ignorant, woke, left-wing, useful idiots we used to call Lakefront Liberals.  Unfortunately they are influenced and brainwashed by local media.  Like Rome, Chicago is now burning. 

We already saw the commercial tenants of the once elegant Water Tower Place flee turning over their keys to the lenders.  We lost lost our iconic and gorgeous stores, terribly tarnishing the Magnificent Mile.

I used to live in and own a condo at Marina City.  The 900 apartments there were always 100% occupied, however not anymore.  The John Hancock building has also lost its luster as property values decline with every election.

At some point soon, the media organizations that are located in the violent affected areas are simply going to have to move away in order to protect their employees.  Some media organizations have enabled and facilitated so called, “Civil Rights” activists like the faux, Father Pfleger and others in their quest to extort form Chicago’s businesses and taxpayers. 

The high profile TV station storefronts along with their highly identifiable live trucks are now inviting targets for the force of dangerous thugs Chicago’s politicians have long favored over taxpayers.  Even the microphone identification flags endanger news crews today.  Cops are asked to risk their lives and careers should they dare to do their jobs.  How can we expect cops to protect news crews? They’ve been turned into a force of immovable  scarecrows by our politicians.  

Chicago’s media has given City Hall a pass on their massive corruption for decades now.  The days of exposing crime and corruption like the infamous and award winning, Mirage Tavern  story run by George Bliss of the Chicago Tribune ended long ago. They weren’t shy then about reporting on Operation Graylord and Operation Gambit.  Investigative journalism in today’s Chicago is on life support or dead. 

The only glimmer of hope is if they actually reboot and become serious about reporting what’s really happening instead of protecting the clowns of City Hall.  We have some high profile pending corruption trials like that of, world class fixer, Eddie Burke whose wife Ann is Chief Justice of the Illinois Supreme Court (how cozy is that!).  

TV news has forgotten that redundantly proven mantra, “If it Bleeds, it Leads!” If they’re sincere about keeping local news alive the must make serious changes.  The news directors and editors must leave the beds of their political friends at City Hall, The County Board and Springfield instead returning to journalism.   Real journalists do not need the cooperation of politicians or their appointed bureaucrats to gather and report news.

Chicago Reporters have lost all trust of the cops in the trenches or the decent citizens otherwise willing to risk their livelihoods providing needed tips to expose scandals and other tawdry happenings that our population needs to know.  

The media could actually save the Windy City, but only if they will do their job.  The police must be trained to once again do their job without obstruction from City Hall. 

Civilization can’t advance without strong media and law enforcement.  

George Orwell said it best, “Journalism is printing something that someone does not want printed. Everything else is public relations.” He also pointed out, that people sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Were the University of Idaho student murders the act of a Charles Manson style cult?

Moscow, Idaho-The shocking November 13 stabbing death of four students here has a familiar ring to me.  It’s the Southern California murders by the Charles Manson Cult some 53 years ago that were equally as depraved and gruesome.  Is there another cult out there with deranged followers behind this? 

I think everyone seems convinced that there was only one killer involved.  However, is there any evidence that supports a one killer scenario? 

One thing for sure and that’s the killer/s are still at large and conceivably planing the next crime.  Cops called this a targeted attack.  However that assumption must come with suspects and motivation behind this brutal slaughter.  Police apparently are nowhere near solving this horror show. 

My thoughts are that this police “targeted” theory is only an effort to prevent the gun buying panic that happened  after the Manson crimes and before their apprehensions.  Also frightened parents pulling their kids out of that school was and is no small concern. 

Nobody but me has suggested that a group of killers were involved.  That would indeed be rare but certainly possible considering the efficiency of the massacre. 

There is good news in this because as in all cases involving multiple criminals things unravel.  That’s because someone usually begins talking betraying his or her comrades.

The Media Canonization of A Predatory Mutant Monster

 

The Media Canonization of A Predatory Mutant Monster

 

The Nazi Minister of Propaganda and Enlightenment, Josef Goebbels, said it best, if you tell a lie often enough it will become the truth.  Most of us laugh that off thinking we are above that kind of influence.  Advertisers, journalists and experienced politicians all know this is a fact.

 

George Floyd was a bully, armed robber, police fighter and general monster.  He used a gun pointed to a pregnant woman’s stomach as he put his hands inside the woman's bra forcibly taking the $800.00, she had to pay her rent.  

 

Who could possibly think of a more cowardly act than that vicious crime committed by this very large, muscular ape like thug?

 

Floyd was a drug addict, with a history of abusing every illicit drug available including the very deadly fentanyl.

 

Floyd used a poorly made counterfeit $20 bill to make a purchase at a local store. The manager did not take kindly to this deceptive crime and called the police. Arriving to the scene were four cops including Derrick Chauvin.  

 

The officers conducted a quick investigation and had probable cause to arrest Floyd who was on probation and knew he’d be going back to prison.  Floyd knew that if he could break away, he might be able to hide out for a while and continue with his drug addiction.

 

Officer Chauvin and the three other rookie cops began to take Floyd into custody however Floyd would have none of it and fought vigorously complaining that he could not breathe and that he was claustrophobic.  Those were both absolute lies because Floyd was simply being removed from one automobile to another and it is impossible to talk if your oxygen is cut off.  After much fighting the officers were finally able to get their handcuffs on Floyd but they still couldn't get him into the police vehicle, and he wound up on the ground. Floyd was every bit a serious threat to the safety and lives of the officers.  While Floyd was on the ground, he had to be kept still and officer chauvin put his knee on the shoulders and head of Floyd. Floyd had calmed down, but was he playing possum?

 

While this was going on a small mob of Passersby began to yell and insult the police. Not only did the officers have to worry about Floyd but the possible imminent assault by people interfering with the arrest.  They called for an ambulance and Chauvin continued to hold Floyd down four some nine minutes.  and he died in connection with his highly toxic fentanyl and affixation.

 

One could certainly blame George Floyd for his own death and there was an additional person involved by the name of Charles Darwin.  George Floyd was a classic example of a human that was unfit to live.

 

Soon the shrill voices of the race baiters like the Reverend, Al Sharpton and that bottom feeding lawyer, Benjamin Crump.  The race card was in full play and the media begin to demonize the police and at the same time canonizing George Floyd as a Saint.  

 

As unbelievable as it sounds George Floyd was given a solid gold coffin, three separate televised funerals fit for royalty and soon memorial murals appeared all over the United States bearing Saint George Floyd who is now the patron Saint of Fentanyl.  

 

I'm sure soon they will be naming schools and streets after this despicable creature.  George Floyd should be the last person that any child should look up to as a hero or civil rights icon.

 

In the year that it took to try officer chauvin and the three other rookie cops the media screamed over and over that George Floyd was a victim who died at the hands of brutal cops that deliberately murdered him.  They used every buzzword they could and redundantly sang the misleading chorus with that infamous, nine-minute line.  

 

The Fake News Media had completely succeeded in brainwashing most of our population, the jury and anyone within earshot with the lie claiming George Floyd was murdered by police.  In the end it was obvious that Josef Goebbels was correct in his assessment about repeated lies. 

 

 

Don’t look Now But the F-Bomb has Become a Mainstream Word!

Los Angeles, CA-- It was once a non-word until it became officially a simple but vulgar noun.  It was basically the act of human courting process for pleasure and or procreation. The activity is not evil and almost always associated with love.

Polite people never used that word.  In my Catholic upbringing simple use of the word was considered a Mortal Sin!  Millions of children have had their mouths washed out with soap by concerned parents trying to discourage such language. 

The Federal Communications Commission is still quick to punish broadcasters for using the F-Bomb and six other “dirty words”.

Times have changed and the pejorative F-Bomb is no longer just a noun, it is more often used today as an agitative!  It’s used to describe something as distasteful.  The word is also used in a variety of crazy applications.

Today even polite people blurt out an F-Bomb or two at least occasionally out of sheer frustration. 

This nasty word is used today in normal conversations and nearly as often by women as men.  I was most surprised when I was drafted into television news to hear the beauty queen, news anchors and reporters with the big hair freely dropping the F-Bomb on an un-lady like, regular basis. 

These news people are hired specifically because of their linguistic creativity and extensive vocabularies.  We always heard that people who swear have a limited vocabulary. Apparently that was all a lie! 

Webster finally put the F bomb into the dictionary but only as a noun, so far: fuck noun

Definition of fuck:

1 usually obscene : an act of copulation

2 usually obscene : a sexual partner

3 usually vulgar : DAMN sense

usually vulgar —used especially with the as a meaningless intensive what the fuck do they want from me

4 usually vulgar : FUCKER

The late comedian George Carlin, Had a lot of fun in using those seven prohibited words in his routine.  The seven dirty and FCC prohibited words that Carlin first listed in his 1972 "Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television” Monologue.  These words, in the order Carlin listed them, are: shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker and tits.

I can also remember in the 1960’s when the late comedian Lenny Bruce had a special audience when he appeared at Chicago’s,  Gate of Horn nightclub on Rush Street.  It was several members of the Chicago Police vice squad. The cops sat and waited for Bruce to drop the F-Bomb and then they proceeded to shut down the show and take Bruce into custody for public obscenity.

I say let’s stop pretending and just accept the reality Fuck is here to stay.  

Sitting in Jail for Doing a Public Service Really Sucks!

  

 

You’re happy that the horrible Orange Man, was defeated and deposed to the political scrap heap.  You watched your favorite politicians ridicule and openly show their vile hatred for this mean tweeting, has been.  Most of all you believe that the China-Virus crisis was somehow mishandled by that arrogant pussy grabber with the funny blond hair.

Now you’ve really been vindicated, facilitated, enabled and finally empowered to help those politicians you love the most.  Especially your most popular and legitimate (incontinent)President in history.  

 

Every news organization you watch has redundantly told you that the wearing of cloth masks, vaccinations and abject social deprivation will make the pandemic go away.  So now you feel the need to report to duty as the MASK POLICE!  

 

That’s right you’ve been appointed to enforce the mandates your favorite politicians have dictated!  You now have the power to tell all those mask scofflaws to mask up!  The law is now on your side and your handy cellphone is ready to speed dial 911.  You know the cops will come to your aid with lights and sirens blazing away. You are now the hero that’s on the side of right out saving the world! 

 

The sad reality is you’ve only become a useful idiot for the forces of Dr. Fauci and his Chinese Communist friends that unleashed this weaponized and rapidly mutating virus on the world. The TV news propaganda has turned you into a delusional fool.  

 

The reality is street cops are overwhelmingly, political conservatives that hate the mask mandates more than anyone.  The cops will look for any excuse to put you in handcuffs, if you’re lucky.  If you’re unlucky you’ll approach some dangerous parolee, and he will simply send you off to the hospital or even the local morgue.  

 

The truth is most people have reached their mask wearing saturation point long ago and simply do what they please, including myself.

 

I have asked every physician that I know which is nearly a dozen the same question, “Is there really a scientific basis for the masks?”  They, to a one, look away from me and say some think they work”.

 

They all immediately disavow the silly cloth masks as useless.   They readily admit they are forced to wear them by the hospital administrators. Some have said that those expensive respirators do however show some promise. 

 

The only truth to this entire pandemic is that the large pharmaceutical companies have made ungodly profits with vaccines developed at “warp speed” that apparently don’t work.  That, and the politicians pushing all the mandates are furiously printing and spending money that’s backed with nothing.
