Former Congresswoman Gabby Gifforrds leaving the Tucson federal courthouse. Tucson, AZ —Our American founding fathers never considered the need for what we call Victim’s Rights.  Anyone accused of a crime has real rights that must be protected.  This is obviously to prevent wrongful convictions.  It’s also to prevent government officials from targeting people for persecution for any number of nefarious reasons. When we become victimized by a criminal act it is expected that we have a desire to exact revenge and show hatred against the offender.   The more serious the offense the more hate and anger is expressed by the victim and of course their family and friends. We hold the accused to account in our criminal trials.  In a criminal trial a victim was never intended to be anything more than a witness.  Witnesses really don’t need any special rights of any kind.  Their job is to simply testify truthfully. The victim is never allowe...

Jared Lee Loughner Tucson, AZ —It was on a warm January day in the “Old Pueblo” when Blue Dog, Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords  was gravely wounded and five others including a child were killed during a public, meet and greet event.   A young and very troubled mental patient, Jared Lee Loughner was allowed to roam around in public by his not so watchful keepers.    That lapse was very deadly.   Insanity as a defense in criminal law is very real.   The courts and juries rarely excuse the insane for criminal acts but in very rare cases.   Of course we will never know or understand what real demons drive people like Loughner to do the unspeakable. I can’t help but believe that Loughner was robbed of whatever ability he had to control his despicable actions.   Loughner was and is a long term threat to his fellow beings and must be segregated from society.   Is it right to kill a deranged lunatic just because he’s d...

Washington, DC —The most divisive Presidential Administration since the Civil War is in full swing. Barack Obama with his un-vetted, un-elected and un-American group of radicals did everything possible to dismantle our form of government over the past two years. Their goal is to reform America into a Socialist system of government. The Obama Administration has a serious problem. They were all but neutered by the midterm election that took the steam and momentum away from their destructive efforts. They are now desperate to create a crisis that would somehow restore their lost power. Freedoms America has lived and prospered under for 230 years have been tampered with by Barack Obama and a group of radicals that infiltrated the halls of Congress. Suspended are our rights under the Fourth, Fifth, and Thirteenth Amendments . Under the radical axe right now are our rights under the First, Second and Fifth Amendments . Tampering with American liberty is Treason. Treason is a capital offen...

Tucson, AZ —The job of defending 22-year-old Jared Loughne r will most certainly center around the issue of his competency or lack thereof. Is he competent to stand trial and assist in his defense? There are many serious red flags that say he may not be standing trial anytime soon. There seems to be little doubt that Loughner is the shooter and planned his activities. The defense has no viable direction to go other than seeking refuge under the insanity defense. That defense is more complicated and difficult than ever because lawmakers have done everything possible to foreclose this possibility. Tucson Lawyer Bob Hirsh did a masterful job of gaining freedom for a man who murdered his wife nearly 30 years ago. In 1982 Restaurateur Steven Steinberg murdered his wife in their Scottsdale home. The defense was that Steinberg’s Jewish wife was a shrew and incessantly nagged him, driving him insane until he stabbed her to death. Steinberg was acquitted and that sent angry shock-waves ac...

Tucson, AZ —The gun rights haters are quickly moving in high gear to demonize American’s right to self-defense. They blame a certain Glock 9MM semi-automatic pistol and not the deranged Hitler and Marx aficionado, Jared Lochner who used it to inflict the carnage. Lochner was in obvious dire need of mental health treatment when he lied on the federal gun purchase form slightly more than a month earlier. Where was the concern about Lochner’s bizarre behavior over the last several years? Lochner was taken to the murder scene by a taxi cab, but had he been behind the wheel of a 3,000 car he could have inflicted as much death and destruction by driving into the crowd. Lochner could also have employed a single gallon of gasoline like what was used by another maniac that destroyed the Happyland Social Club in New York killing 100 people in the process. Gun rights haters are overly obsessed with firearms to the point of phobic mental Illinois. They are irrational perhaps because they ...

Tucson, AZ -- Gabrielle Giffords is a Democratic Congresswoman who fearlessly represented the voters that sent her to Congress. Unlike so many politicians she’d spend time with her constituents and hear their concerns, gripes and hopes. She was respected and even loved by both Democrats and Republicans. If all politicians in America were like her there’d be no nasty divide as we have seen in the last two years. Conservatives can agree to disagree with Giffords and do so with a genuine smile. A pathetic drug abusing loner with a long history of exhibition of mental illness symptoms falsified a Federal (#4473) gun purchase form got a gun and went on a killing rampage. The carnage is heartbreaking to say the least. America has been paying dearly for neglect of the mentally ill for a long time. Today we have many incredibly arrogant politicians that believe they have carte blanche authority to attack the Freedom and Liberty that made America great. They wantonly assault our free mar...

Attached is the full 16 page complaint and probable Cause Statement filed by the U.S. Attorney in Federal district Court today against Jared Lee Loughner , DOB: 09/10/1988 of 7741 N. Soledad Ave., Tucson, AZ 8574. What we may not learn because of privacy laws involving medical records is that the Federal Firearm purchase form #4473 was falsified by Lochner if he concealed his mental health issues. He was rejected for military service by the Army and police were called numerous times because of his bizarre behavior. I find it difficult to believe he was not committed for mental evaluation at least once and that would have disqualified him from buying a gun. PR_Lougher_

Tucson, AZ—Let me fist say that the vile shooting at Gabrielle Giffords’ meet and greet event at a supermarket was not a political shooting. There is clear and convincing evidence that the accused shooter Jared Lochner is seriously disturbed and incompetent to make a rational judgment. Lochner’s writings show that he somehow thought people in the government were controlling his mind. Lochner’s personal politics were Leftist. We are slowly discovering that Lochner was a victim of a failed mental health system that did not act when it became clear he was suffering. A Moderate “Blue Dog” Democrat like Giffords or Judge John Roll , appointed by George H.W. Bush , were hardly the targets for any Conservative Americans. There are however many Socialists in our government that may well deserve that kind of fate for their attacks on Liberty. Now the mouthpieces of the Far Left are suggesting that hate and vitriol from Conservatives is somehow the cause of the Tucson shooting. Free speec...

Tucson, AZ —Today’s horrific shooting in Tucson that maimed or killed so many people needed to be reported. It was the weekend when most people in the news business are home with their families. The weekends are usually slow for news stories and a major story is a challenge to cover for the much smaller weekend TV news crews. All aspects of this story needed the best work the reporters, producers, photographers and assignment desk people could provide. KTVK-TV came through meeting their responsibility to quickly provide all of the relevant information to their viewers. KTVK-TV put their best on display today and I know there will be an Emmy Award or few in the future of these professionals. Sit back and watch some great reporting.

Tucson, AZ— He’s accused of killing Federal Chief Judge John Roll , gravly wounding “Blue Dog” Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords . The suspect was apparently tackled by bystanders once he ran out of ammunition. There were 16 others killed or wounded by a man that has a curious philosophy. A nine year-old child was also killed by the gunman. The Gunman, Jared Lochner is 22 year-old. Lochner like to read. His favorites include, “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’, “Mein Kamph”, “The Communist Manifesto”, “Animal Farm” and “To Kill A Mockingbird” The picture of Lochner above was taken when he was a volunteer at a book festival.

He wears contacts or glasses. Lochner has misdemeanor arrest record and had successfully participated in a diversion program that resulted in dismissal of the charge in...
