Will County’s Drew Peterson Inquisition Is Disgraceful.

Joliet, IL—So you think Drew Peterson is a jerk. You also suspect that foul play may have claimed two of his four wives lives. You hate the fact that Peterson and his lawyer told anyone who will listen that he’s no killer. You believe the TV pundits like Geraldo Rivera that have declared Peterson guilty. That’s the popular and politically correct opinion these days, so why do we even bother with a trial?

Right now, our nation is giving Muslim terrorists at war with America the very rights that we are refusing a man with a 30 year, career as decorated Bolingbrook cop.

They passed that frightening, Drew Peterson Hearsay Law that denies Peterson and his lawyers the right to confront witnesses against him. They can’t and won’t be using hearsay against the terrorists, so why are we using third party gossip against Peterson?

One thing for sure, the witnesses against Peterson have all been getting fame and fortune. Pathetic and marginal people have gotten lots of TV face time as long as they would implicate Peterson into anything ugly at all.

The Will County Court has painted itself into an untenable corner. The indictment of Peterson was only based on hearsay and the court can only proceed if it determines Peterson is guilty of murder. The jury pool is destroyed forever since they all will know the judge already concluded Peterson is a killer.

Instead of following the rules, a giant end run was made to convict Peterson at any cost. The cost is way too high. Can we count on the Illinois Legislature to find creative ways for every defendant to gain a conviction when fairness and existing law won’t guarantee that verdict?

Will every defendant be subjected to all available court endorsed and ratified gossip and hearsay fantasies of every village idiot that wants to get famous?

This subversion of our criminal justice system in the Drew Peterson must not be allowed to continue. Drew Peterson’s right to a fair trial has been permanently destroyed. I’d expect this kind of extra-legal circus in some banana republic, dictator’s show trial, never in America.

Will County must be legally enjoined from any continuation of this mutant form of legal masturbation.

The prosecutors and judges of Will County, Illinois have lowered the bar straight into the toilet. They should all be ashamed to be part of this farce.

Conservatives, Republicans Or Tea Party Activists?

Fox News has become a default group support place for fear and loathing of all things Socialist. The message from Fox News is really mixed and confusing. From that Leftist Showman, Geraldo Rivera, the Liberal news Anchor, Sheppard Smith, the, regulate them to death style Progressive, Bill O'Reilly that believes he’s somehow a Conservative to that genuine Conservative, Glen Beck.

The Fox personalities are all over the political map. The ratings demographics provide true insight about how Americans really feel. Fox, a cable outlet takes the lead with the others far behind. That alone should send a loud and strong message to the politicians.

Fox News seems to be at odds with the Obama Administration policy in general. But, Glen Beck seems to be the only one who has really studied Political Science. Beck has a grasp of history and understands what’s happening.

The mainstream Republican Party has gone progressive years ago and does not have its Conservative identity anymore.

The Democratic Party has embraced Socialism and Karl Marx despite the massive failure of that form of government.

The Tea Party folks are a bunch of Conservative and Independent voters that have been disenfranchised and are tired of constant government extortion. The Tea Party people are victims of Bait and Switch promises of today’s American politicians.

The disgust Americans have for Congress and our politicians is at an unacceptable level. Obama has done one wonderful thing. He has caused massive educational efforts to understand the American process by the American people. Can we get rid of this despot before he destroys America?

The people do not like what they are learning because they want the American the founding fathers gave us not this Socialist Hope and Change manure they have been fed for decades.

The Republican Party needs to go back to its roots and expel the George Bush’s and John McCain’s that have abandoned Conservatism. It’s time for the small government, low tax mind our own business liberty lovers to get control of their own lives. The benefit would be a strong economy and good jobs for everyone.

Wars are always the product of Progressive Leftists that can’t accept the Swiss model of minding their own business. It is time for peace.

America’s Criminal Justice System Is Slipping Into An ABYSS.

Yourtown, USA—In the last four decades the rights of people accused of crimes has degenerated through various pieces of legislation. That’s happened, as our courts refused to support the Bill of Rights.

Unhealthy and dangerous changes include:

1. The near total destruction of rights involving police searches.
2. The expanded use of hearsay evidence in criminal trials.
3. Prosecution witnesses being allowed to hear other witnesses testify.
4. The admission of junk science evidence against defendants.
5. TV cameras being allowed inside courtrooms as misinformed and malicious pundits sway juries.

Germany’s judicial system took a wrong turn during the Third Reich. The People’s Court turned into a killing machine complete with filmed “show trials”. The German people thought this was an open and fair process that included defense lawyers and appeals. The German system was a total sham. The People's Court conviction rate from 1933 to 1945 was nearly 100%.

The Nazis only held those “show trials” for accused Germans. The Jews and other undesirables simply disappeared to concentration camps and the crematories.

My criminal lawyer friends all agree that we have become a police state complete with technology the Nazis would have coveted in a big way.

This is all fun until you or someone you love gets a ride in America’s version of The People’s Court. These kinds of courts are brought to you by Socialism

Why Restraining Orders Are Worthless In Stalking Cases

Orange County, FL-- Brevard County Circuit Court Judge Dean Moxley refused to issue a restraining order requested by a former Hooter’s waitress, Alissa Blanton, who had recently married. The judge felt that the petition was inadequate and ordered a hearing while declining the temporary order.

A 61 year-old stalker, Roger Troy shot the 23 year-old woman to death in her new employer’s parking lot. Troy took his own life immediately afterwards.

Now many people want to blame Judge Moxley for the woman’s murder. The blame is wrongly assigned here.

I have personally served thousands of restraining orders in similar situations. Despite serving the documents several people I served assaulted and even murdered the court protected victims. In one case I heard the gunshot as I served one man. He put a gun to his head seconds after I brought him the order.

Women’s rights groups demanded and got laws for restraining orders and to combat stalkers. These cases involve disturbed people who are in both real and imagined relationships. The key element here is disturbed people. By definition disturbed people are not rational and can be dangerous. The restraining orders are useless and prevent nothing.

The victims of stalkers are not always blameless. Some “victims” enable and even taunt their abusers bringing the violence on themselves. The mentally ill are victimizing the mentally ill.

There is a huge amount of abuse by people using the restraining order process to victimize the innocent.

Victims of real stalkers need to recognize when the problem is beyond the ability of the police and courts to protect them. Self help and sometimes relocating may be the only way to survive.

I have learned that when a stalker is beyond embarrassment he or she is really dangerous. Thankfully people on the edge don’t want their families, friends or employers to know about their behavior. Those people will stop with the mere threat of exposure.

We live in a free society and can’t deprive others of liberty because of fears of what they might do in the future. Victims need to report the conduct to police. Then they need to examine self-help solutions including obtaining firearms and the training to use them. Restraining orders are only made of flimsy paper. Law-abiding people behave without them. Dangerous people are never less dangerous because of restraining orders. Police rarely catch stalkers in the act enabling arrest. Our safety is ours, not the government’s responsibility.

Judge Moxly should not be a scapegoat for an unworkable program. Had he granted the order the result would have been the same.

Hooter’s Girls Deserve Better

Okay it’s a tough economy but One Hooter’s establishment had a work environment that must never be allowed.

Yes, I view the Hooter’s girls as a form of entertainment, but that should never degenerate into something ugly.

Undercover Boss is a reality show that provided insight into dehumanization of some young women trying to make an honest living. Hooters should always be a fun place to dine or work. What I saw was anything but fun.

Let’s hope lessons were learned by management and staff alike. Nobody deserves to be part of a carnival side show.

Are You A Law And Order Kind Of Guy? Perhaps You’re Not-- A Conservative!

There are those folks who insist they are Conservative when they are far from that philosophy. A true Conservative cherishes freedom, liberty and demands limited government.

Progressives, Socialists and rogue control freaks uniformly want to police each other and the entire world.

Socialists and Progressives love to make laws to control every aspect of everyone’s life. Conservatives don’t believe in making victimless crimes for regulating narcotics, gambling, and prostitution. Victimless crime enforcement costs taxpayers hundreds of billions and creates criminal organizations. The byproduct is these laws is out-of-control public corruption.

Conservatives believe in the Bill of Rights that protects Americans from unlawful searches, gives the right to keep and bear arms and full due process for the accused. Socialists find the Bill of Rights as a giant hindrance to their Police State.

Socialists can’t function without the death penalty. Socialists never have enough prison space.

Too many Law and Order Types have nothing in common with real Conservatives.

Arizona’s Prisoners Silenced By Soviet Style Secrecy Policy

Phoenix, AZ—Prisoners within the Arizona Department of Corrections including those condemned are not allowed to give interviews for television. Is this punishment or a successful effort to hide information?

Some suggest that crime victims would be victimized by seeing such interviews. I say that’s pure hogwash. Even the residents of the notorious Texas Death Row are allowed to speak to the media.

Most defense lawyers don’t like their clients talking until they are out of jeopardy because prosecutors can use the statements at any retrials. Convicts for the most part want to remain out of the public’s collective and short memory.

There are those inmates that want to plead their case for innocence directly to the public. There are also guilty prisoners that wish to express remorse and apologize for the despicable acts that got them convicted.

News organizations, not government policy should decide who will use the public forum. News editors won’t do this if they feel it is not newsworthy or if it will be abusive or hurtful to victims and their families.

To not allow someone convicted to raise doubts about their innocence is cruel and un-American. We’d expect this kind of policy in China or some old Soviet Gulag but never in a free country.

I have not done a state by state survey on this issue but California went the route of the Soviet Gulags years ago too. California does not believe in public records either as they operate in secret like the Communist governments they emulate.

I have to ask, Just what is Arizona hiding?

Why Is Meg Whitman Running As A Republican?

Sacramento, CA—Meg Whitman, billionaire and former CEO of EBAY is a George Soros style, Progressive Leftist. Whitman has aspirations to be California's next Republican Governor.

Whitman hates gun rights and wants taxpayers to pay for abortions and bigger government. Whitman is a pretender who will use her money to fund a campaign avoiding the Leftist agenda she supports. Uneducated voters will cast their ballot for the name they hear most often rather than issues.

There is nothing within the Republican Party that Whitman supports so why is she running as a Republican? The Republican Party needs to come out and expose this fake candidate.

Whitman can be counted on to shift policy away from what the founding fathers gave us. Whitman can be counted on to guarantee the concept of a Police State for California. Whitman’s mentality is exactly what’s wrong with California. I say vote for anyone other than Whitman.

Ignorant Press and Police Paint Hero As A Racist

Chicago, IL—Ted Kozak is a hero on his way to Stateville Prison perhaps as early as Monday to begin serving a prison term for mere possession of two collector’s war relics.

They were two prized sub-machine guns of World War Two that put Kozak in conflict with Illinois law. Illinois has banned the two collector’s items in violation of the Second Amendment to the US Constitution. Because of the state ban The Federal government will not allow registration of taxable weapons creating a bizarre “Catch 22” problem. That is why Federal gun laws are virtually unenforceable in Illinois. The appellate court process must deal with this at some point.

Sun-times reporters Frank Main and Rummana Hussain really failed to understand this story and misinformed their readers in a huge way on the Kozak story.

The most egregious part of the Sun Times story was this passage, “Posters of Adolf Hitler, a bulletproof vest with a swastika patch, a German helmet and other Nazi items were found in his home, too.” Collectors of war guns also collect the other captured items such as flags, uniforms, medals, personal letters and photographs. American collectors celebrate the victory over National Socialism and it’s despots.

The celebration of WWII through memorabilia by military collectors is to cherish the victory over a vile government and political ideal. Thankfully the good guys won that war.

There are those stupid racists and morons that celebrate Adolph Hitler, but to suggest Ted Kozak is part of that is pure slander and to publish that is libelous.

Ted Kozak never once asked about the race or religion of the men, women and children trapped in burning buildings before he went in and rescued them.

Now that Kozak will be entering a prison system where 90% of the population is African-American the erroneous Sun-Times report has placed him in danger by labeling him as a racist.

The offensive and libelous story can be found here.

Now Obama Wants To Track Your Cell Phone

Washington, DC-Barack Obama’s true colors are showing as his administration is quietly giving itself more authority over American’s private lives. They want to track your movements without a warrant by your cell phone. They don’t believe you have an expatiation of privacy.

The world’s most infamous despots would envy Obama's control over technology to track every person that does not agree with them.

Anyone who was foolish to believe that Obama would respect civil liberties better than George W. Bush was living in Fantasy Land. Bush brought us that vile Patriot Act but Obama has only expanded it and now this new outrage.

Stop Obama before he does more!

Surviving A Shooting Only Was Half The Battle

Paradise Valley, AZ—Serving court summonses and other documents can be dangerous. Sometimes the people you must serve are drunk, on drugs, angry and of course armed. Even good people don’t like bad news.

I had to serve an eviction summons on a man and his wife that had not paid rent on a large expensive home for seven months. The man was a white collar criminal who had just lost two expensive cars to the repo man who was now looking for the man’s new Chevrolet Suburban.

Legally drunk and at the end of his rope the man intended to punish me for his troubles. As I served his wife he was out trying to cut the tires of my car. I served the summons and was returning to my car in near total darkness. The angry, drunken man approached me and pistol-whipped me in the head with a .45 semi-automatic.

I was cut and bleeding from two head wounds as I drew my own five shot .38 Smith & Wesson Bodyguard and ordered him to drop his gun twice. Instead he pointed his gun at me and I emptied mine into him. He never fell or dropped his gun although he was critically wounded.

The shooting investigation proved far too big a challenge for a corrupt, inept and incredibly stupid detective of the 23 man, Paradise Valley Police department. That cop had been fired from no less than four police departments and also had a criminal record!

After 18 months the case was resolved when the man I had to shoot and his daughter plead guilty to Perjury, Evidence and Witness Tampering.

This event made me an even stronger gun rights advocate. It also reinforced my own advice to others to never tell police anything beyond asking for a lawyer.

Chicago Firefighter Gets Four Years In Prison

Chicago, IL—The Gulag has yet another political prisoner tonight. For engaging in constitutionally protected activity a political hack in a black robe, appointed by the Daley/Burke crime families ordered honorably retired firefighter Ted Kozak off to Stateville Prison.

Kozak never hurt, threatened, stole from or otherwise victimized anyone. He held two prize collector’s items for a Chicago cop who was hospitalized and later died. The items were a Thompson sub-machine gun and a Sten gun. Both are banned in Illinois but may be owned in most of free America.

The guns were never used in crimes and were kept locked in a vault. Kozak had a stellar career and is a genuine hero.

The jailing of Kozak is a huge waste of money, prison space and serves no good purpose. Kozak would have merely continued his life as a good taxpaying and honest American.

Next will be the appeal which will take longer to litigate than Kozak will spend in prison. Four years will get Kozak little more than a year behind bars. The rub here is that Kozak will be unable to care for his ailing mother.

Kozak should have been allowed to remain free pending appeal. The gun convictions involve anything but settled law. But the slime that contaminates City Hall want an example made of the fireman the same way that Adolph Hitler’s People’s Court did with those who dared to disagree with the Third Reich. Are we somehow going to feel safer tonight?
