A Marked Man

Joliet, IL—William “Flex” Balfour is inside one of America’s toughest prisons, Stateville. The population of this infamous Big House is mean and Black. Balfour is there on a parole violation and is entitled to the presumption of innocence.

The problem is that American Idol and Oscar Winning actress, Jennifer Hudson’s picture hangs in many cells there. I know that people suspected of killing children don’t normally do well in prison. I also know that the presumption of a child killing suspect’s innocence does not have much meaning to the nastiest inmates at stateville.

Balfour would not last ten minutes in any kind of group setting without catching the business end of a shank, garrote or other exotic improvised prison weapon.

Here is William “Flex” Balfour latest mug shot taken this morning and in it he does not look unconcerned.

This monster deserves whatever he gets in jail. America will be a better place with his kind gone.

I went on a tour of Stateville back in the late 70's as part of Illinois State Police Academy training. We went through "B House", which was, at the time, the place where the worst offenders were housed. The place had a sickening odor of sweat, fear and male ejaculate that could make you sick to your stomach. Some of the inmates threw urine and fecal matter at our group as we passed their cells. We were also warned not to eat the mashed potatoes in the cafeteria, as they would probably be laced with human DNA material, if you know what I mean. The place is full of animals and I think William “Flex” Balfour will fit right in, if he survives. I'm hoping he doesn't.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
