Should Process Servers Be Armed?

Process serving for the most part is lucrative and enjoyable way to make a living. Too many people enter this vocation without understanding or preparing for very real dangers associated with this job.

Process servers serve summonses, writs, subpoenas, and restraining orders. They sometimes are government employees, sworn or civilian Marshal's, Sheriff’s and Constable's workers or a part of private enterprise.

Those servers employed by large agencies are given beats according to their abilities and experience. Older men and women are assigned to serve only corporations, banks, hospitals and government agencies. There are no dangers associated with these types of services but for the potential of automobile accidents and such.

Eviction, debt related summonses, divorce actions and restraining orders should be served only by trained, fit and armed servers. There are only so many of these riskier papers that can be served before servers are, threatened, assaulted or someone tries to kill them.

Some jurisdictions actually write laws or try to enforce rules that take away process servers rights to carry weapons for self-defense. I’m alive today because I knowingly and intentionally violated a presiding judge’s unlawfully enacted process server’s gun prohibition. Not only did I survive the armed attack I was able to cause the prohibition to be rescinded.

Process servers serve wherever they can. Too often it’s at private homes where all manner of weapons are present. The people being served are too often intoxicated, frightened, angry and even suicidal.

Some examples I can cite is that twice men I served divorce papers on killed themselves within minutes of my visit. One man kidnapped and murdered his soon to be ex-wife and yet another went to a Scottsdale dental office and shot his wife’s employer, a dentist and another worker before being subdued by his wounded victims.

This is not a job for an adventure seeking novice. Process servers work without back-up and other than matters involving domestic violence police cooperation is non-existent.

The catalyst for this article was a particularly brutal murder of a 58 year-old process server in Loveland Colorado. The news gathering and story-telling of the local news media was really deficient on this event. I have provided several articles so my readers can try and understand what happened.

As for the question I asked about process servers being armed I wall say survival dictates that answer. Process servers should always wear seat belt when they drive and carry a reliable gun.

Rev. Michael Pfleger And The IRS May Be Meeting Soon

Chicago --Rev Michael Pfleger has his political pulpit at Chicago’s South Side, Roman Catholic, St. Sabina’s Church. Pfleger has been arm in arm and lock-step with Mayor Richard M. Daley and other far Left politicians in the political arena. Pfleger’s agenda seems to be more about saving political candidates rather than the souls of his flock.

According to recent revelations in the Chicago Sun-Times, Pfleger gave Barak Obama's campaign $1,500 between 1995 and 2001, including $200 in April 2001, just three months after Obama steered $225,000 in grants to St. Sabina programs.

When tax exempt religions push political agendas and candidates the pirates at the IRS will simply take away their free ride.

Now Pfleger claims he’s received thousands of death threats in connection with presidential candidate Barak Obama’s latest pastor problems. Pfleger also got a well-deserved public spanking from Cardinal Francis George for his latest pro-Obama political antics.

Will Pfleger be killed and become a venerated Catholic martyr? We will just have to wait and see. Somehow I suspect Pfleger will just find himself defrocked and ignored for being the crackpot he is.

The Democratic Party Is Self-Destructing…

So much for delegate deal-making.

Obama Just Threw His Own Church Of 20 Years Under The Campaign Bus.

Barack Obama moments ago resigned his membership with Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where Jeremiah Wright was formerly pastor and a Catholic priest mocked Hillary Clinton.

The Democratic Primary fight has been so much fun! Mrs. Clinton’s forces has done so much to help us all know more about Barak Obama then anyone wanted.

As Obama’s friends and associates have come out to help him he’s disavowed them one by one. Far too many radicals, bombers, racists and assorted crooks have fallen all over themselves trying to get their friend and confidant elected. The more help Obama gets the more his amazing campaign flounders over redundant gaffes.

Obama has not yet seen how he will be tarred with the brush of the criminal Chicago political organization that he was spawned from. That will come from both Republicans along with Obama’s disowned and now disgruntled pals.

Dennis Farina Cleared Of Felony Gun Charge From LAX Incident!

Los Angeles—L.A. County District Attorney Steve Cooley’s office has declined prosecution of retired Chicago police burglary detective, turned actor, Dennis Farina on that felony gun charge.

The case was referred for review to the Los Angeles City Attorney, Rocky Delgadillo for review of any potential misdemeanor prosecution against Farina.

The requirement of intent for such a gun possession charge must be present in any misdemeanor violation prosecution. Perhaps Farina will be cleared altogether very soon. Let’s hope that happens.

Drew Peterson's First Legal Shot Fired At Prosecutor On That Gun Charge

Joliet IL—Drew Peterson’s lawyer, Joel Brodsky has filed a motion on simple, plain English grounds to dismiss the complaint filed over a gun seized last November by Bolingbrook police.

When the gun was seized Peterson was a police sergeant and member of the department’s SWAT team. The rifle was equipment that was used in connection with that assignment.

Unlike many police departments across the country, Bolingbrook requires their officers to find and purchase their own duty weapons. The officers are reimbursed through their police uniform allowance. That includes any weapons used by the SWAT team.

The complexities of department technicalities about issues of barrel length are just that, departmental issues. The weapons themselves are covered under a federal law preemption that immunizes the officers from criminal prosecution under any state law. Peterson was charged under Illinois law that cannot be used against him.

Frustrated state police investigators have no evidence of murder so they took another route to disrupt Drew Peterson’s life. Perhaps someone should have bothered to read the law first.

Here’s a motion filed today in The Circuit Court of Will County, IL:

The TSA Is Really Gutting Our Economy

According to the Travel Industry Association, 41 million airplane trips were avoided last year by fellow Americans. That in turn dealt a $67 Billion cumulative cost to our economy.

A landmark survey revealed shocking information that points directly at the TSA and the misery they pile on to travelers with mindless security screening games and indignities that do nothing more that provide an illusion of security.

Flying today is a truly miserable experience.

This well researched report reveales the devastating impact the TSA's pretend security is having on our entire economy. Add to this prohibitive fuel costs and you more airlines will soon be asking for bankruptcy protection along with restaurants, hotels and other tourism generated businesses.

The tax man has been suffering too but don’t worry they will be given new tools to raid our wallets soon.

Meet A Spunky Gal In New York City...

New York--Meet young Internet broadcaster and journalist, Samantha Henig who visits Manhattan’s only gun range. Henig is a natural for television presentations. This lass puts most seasoned medium and large market TV reporters to shame.

I predict a bright and wonderful future for the talented Henig who went into unfamiliar territory and turned a great story!

Got Gas?

Westwood, Los Angeles--Just in case nobody noticed we are in trouble. Perhaps some of us are smug that we can afford the extortionate amount at the gas pump but all costs are about to follow suit. The poor and muddle-income folks are facing a depression. Jobs will start disappearing soon too.

I’m not sure just what will follow but this country is too spoiled to cope with deprivation. The far Left will have their disastrous answers that too many Americans are ready to embrace. Our economy can’t take all the phony Congressional, stop-gap, artificial fixes they’ve unloaded on us.

Our Arab oil suppliers are working against us and want to see turmoil and civil war here. How soon will it be before the food supply is interrupted?

Supreme Court’s Parting Shot Before The Summer Recess

Like so many of my readers I’m waiting for the Washington D.C. handgun ban case, D.C. vs. Heller to be decided. Checking their calendar I know they must publish their opinion before the summer recess.

June 23rd is the last Monday they will release opinions and I will go out on a limb and predict that hot potato, Heller case to be their parting shot.

The best informed guesses are a 7-2 win for The Bill Of Rights and against Liberty haters like the Mayors of New York, D.C., Chicago and L.A. I hope to hear their whining soon along with dire predictions of blood in the streets.

Whatever the decision it will be historic and an all day news event. My chances of being right about the date of release are only one out of four. Vegas should be taking bets on this one…

Ivan The Terrible Or Just Another Nazi?

Washington D.C.--Retired Cleveland autoworker John Demjanjuk is 88 years-old now living in a quiet Cleveland suburb. This morning our nation’s highest court cleared the way for his deportation.

Demjanjuk’s life has been quite an adventure since the newly formed United States Office of Special Investigations (OSI), an obscure outfit entrusted to locate and bring to justice Nazi war criminals focused on him in 1977.

They falsely got his citizenship revoked and extradited him to Israel as, Ivan the Terrible. That was a moniker for a sadistic Treblinka guard named Ivan Marchenko. Decades later, in an incredibly suggestive photo line-up Holocaust survivors picked out Demjanjuk as the fugitive war criminal.

OSI investigators produced a NAZI identity card that proved its position as to Demjanjuk’s identity as the Treblinka sadist. That ID card was later examined by Bill Flynn a noted forensic document examiner with the Arizona Department of Public Safety. Flynn was able to conclusively prove that the card was a forgery pasted together from more than one identity card of that era.

Demjanjuk was convicted and sentenced to death and set to be only the second “war criminal” executed by Israel. That changed all when the Israel Supreme Court saw the injustice and freed Demjanjuk.

Demjanjuk returned home only to be once more identified as a Nazi by the OSI and run through the courts all over again. The standard of proof is much less than required in our criminal courts and OSI succeeded in again revoking Demjanjuk’s citizenship winning yet another deportation order.

Now what’s left for the old man is finding a country to accept him. He was ordered deported to Germany, Poland or his native Ukraine. This seems like such a waste of time and money.

Too bad that Demjanjuk was not a rocket maker so he could have been a spaceflight hero like, Dr. Wernher von Braun who as a Nazi arms maker utilized Jewish slave labor to build rockets that hit London.

UK Actor Rob Knox Was Murdered by Government Craziness

The people of The UK are beyond help and hope. They’ve handed their streets over to robbers, rapists, killers and even terrorists.

With traditional snobbery the Brits have rejected use of force to avoid violent crime. People who dare hurt a criminal in the course of a deadly crime face years in prison as well as civil actions by the predators.

I guess the pacifists rule the UK with an insane idea that laying down playing dead and total cooperation with criminals is somehow good public policy. I’m sure the UK’s most hardened criminals love Merry Old England for its kind of misplaced benevolence.

I remember the case of an American woman who used a Swiss Army knife many years ago to fend off an attacker in the Tube. The woman’s attacker was not injured and the woman faced serious time in prison. That incident took the UK off of my tourism list but for an occasional stopover at Heathrow Airport.

Actor Rob Knox, 18 who will be seen in the November opening of the latest film in the Harry Potter franchise was stabbed to death protecting his brother from a knife attack. Others were hurt during this incident.

For those who don’t know or were influenced by too many Hollywood film productions, knives are far deadlier than guns at close range. Bullet wounds seal themselves because human tissue is elastic. Knife wounds leave blood vessels wide open and our bodies can bleed out in seconds even if vital organs are uninjured.

Now the UK is trying to bring an end to knives through more laws that criminals don’t care about. They have a big KNIFE AMNESTY program underway. The great chefs of the UK may just become the latest refugees seeking asylum in nearby countries that still value freedom.

To aid the Amnesty program police have set up airport style checkpoints to frisk citizens suspected of nothing. I ask, what are UK’s politicians smoking these days?

This is all as backwards as can be and here is a simple cure.
1. Legalize reasonable force including deadly force in self-defense and defense of others.
2. Legalize the carrying of weapons including handguns by any sane and law abiding citizen.
3. Protect crime victims from civil liability from the thugs.
4. Arm all cops 24/7
5. Allow for armed private detectives and security patrolmen.

By making these changes and putting the thugs on notice will greatly slow down this violent crime rate that has been directly tied to new laws and enforcement against self-defense.

Are the Brits so dumb they can’t figure out that Charles Darwin, not the government is policing their streets?
