A lot of people ask me why I love Germany. Here is the answer!

Aschaffenberg, Germany--it was December 1968 when after being drafted by the Army I wound up in this beautiful hamlet. I was just about 15 miles from Frankfurt and was blessed to be assigned there as a medical corpsman.

It was Christmas time and I was in a strange land far away from home. I decided that since I was a guest in this nation I'd act like one.

I was compelled to learn the customs, language and culture. I stayed far away from fellow soldiers if for no other reason I liked the elegant German babes better.

I soon found that the German people were incredibly kind to me. I made some wonderful new friends and got an education few Americans ever get.

The 18 months I spent in Germany was the very best time of my life. I traveled everywhere I could. The money exchange rate was four Marks to the Dollar then. It was truly an adventure!

If I made a mistake it was not staying there and finishing my education in a medical profession in Munich or Berlin.

I never forgot the kindness and love that the German people showed me when I was so young.

Over the last 25 years I worked on the Debra Milke Death Penalty travesty in Arizona. I investigated not on her behalf but was hired by many media organizations to help them cover that nightmare.

It turned out that I discovered early that Milke was framed and told that to anyone who'd listen. It turned out I was correct once again.

The Milke case actually got me sent back to Europe three times. The last trip in December was indirectly because of my involvement with the case.

This video and narrative is a true depiction of this horrific and sad story. I commend Paul for his courage to post the TRUE facts of this case. After viewing and listening to this video post it makes me wonder how many people may be wrongfully imprisoned on the word of a homicide detective gone bad. More troubling is it took so long for the truth to come out and in the interim Ms. Milke was incarcerated and on dearth row for 25 years. She is now free thanks to Attorney Mike Kimerer and his team of Attorneys and staff. TItration 14 years, and FINALLY Justice prevailed. Again, kudos to Paul for reporting the truth.

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 ...

Gun vs. Knife

So you think because you carry and know how to use a gun that you will be able to protect yourself from a knife or cutting instrument attack with ease? For those people that think guns are more dangerous than knives, think again. More than 60% of all people shot with firearms even multiple times survive the attack. Cutting and stabbing victims don’t do nearly as well. Bullet wounds self-seal because of the elastic nature of human tissue. Knife cuts lay open and bleed profusely as the veins and arteries are opened wide. Then there are those laughably ignorant people (too many are politicians) who want cops or civilians confronted by knife wielding criminals to either shoot the knife out of someone’s hand or just shoot to wound. You’re about to see that such an effort will get you killed. Watch this video and you will see the knife can easily beat a gun in any contest.
