Lincoln, MT —In 1978 a two-decade bombing campaign began that untimely took three lives and maimed some 23 people.   Ingeniously hand constructed bombs were delivered, mailed or otherwise planted targeting people involved with advanced technology.   It was an effort to intimidate those involved to obstruct and discontinue their efforts. I worked on this massive investigation myself for among others, ABC News .   The FBI dubbed the bomber as the, " UNABOM " (UNiversity & Airline BOMber).   Their agents meticulously reconstructed the bombs in their investigative process that consumed many of their entire careers.     Everyone was trying to guess the reasoning behind this frightening serial killer’s actions.   The New York Times received a somewhat strange letter on April 24, 1995.   The author promised "to desist from terrorism" if the Times or the Washington Post published his manifesto, Industrial Society and Its Future (al...

Milwaukee, WI —I guess the reporters in this town were all off enjoying their Sunday at Home.  A mass shooting at a Sikh Temple is apparently not worthy of any meaningful attempt at reporting.  Other than a few video and photojournalists that captured some material the media had nothing.  The reporting was limited interviews of a few on scene Sikh worshipers with more questions of their own than answers.  This important news story was totally produced and reported by police spokesmen!  There were simply weak rewrites of what officials reported rather than anything resembling enterprising efforts to explain this important story.  The media failed to notice the suspect’s vehicle that’s surely been towed by police.  That would have been an important thing to do.

ABC News has suggested that Sig Arms has endangered the nation by revealing that the Air Marshall’s service pistol is now the P 250 Compact in .357 Sig . Their sensational claim is that the bad guys could somehow benefit from this information. All semi-automatic handguns operate in similar fashion and law enforcement stopped using revolvers long ago. There are no secrets about these semi-automatic firearms that have not changed much in nearly 100 years! This knowledge is nothing special and releasing it in no way places anyone in harm’s way. This will however cause silly people who don’t know better to wring their hands because the “experts” at ABC news did this story. As for the weapon and caliber chosen, I’d have rather picked the .45 ACP version but have no problem since the Air Marshall’s ranks include metrosexuals and women that might find the more powerful caliber intimidating. I can’t imagine why they chose the double action only option. That reduces the ability of user of ...
