Los Angeles, CA--The Midvale Plaza Apartments located at 527 / 540 Midvale Avenue became the scene of a home invasion robbery last night. Six UCLA students were studying for final examinations only to find themselves being held-up at gunpoint.
Four male masked male offenders including one Black and one Asian were armed with at least one shotgun as they forced the students to turn over cash, jewelry, laptops, and their cell phones. The robbery crew tied up the students with shoelaces and forced them all to lie on the floor of the apartment.
The offenders escaped and are now being sought by UCLAPD and LAPD officers who will need all the help they can get.
The robbery makes little sense since students generally have little money. This sounds like a really dangerous crew that needs to be stopped and removed from society. Anyone with information needs to snitch on these thugs in a hurry.
Note: On January 3, 2010 there was another similar home invasion only a block away at 433 Midvale committed by a lone Asian male with a silver colored handgun.
Washington, DC—There may be benefits to this idea. What we really get is a greater Police State. This is about total control over every man woman and child.
They will be scanning your card everywhere, when you travel, vote, are stopped for minor traffic violations, visit government buildings or do your banking. The power connected to those with access to the database is absolute.
This is the kind of program that we need to resist with everything Americans can muster. To wait and see will be too little, too late.
With a national ID card our government will never be suddenly motivated to use any tool in for the apprehension and deportation of illegal aliens. Illegal aliens will still be working for cash under the table.
They will force me to obtain the national identity card over my dead body.
Burbank, CA—Another family is going to hit it big in the lawsuit lottery complaining about the “unfortunate” 14 year-old who learned too much, too soon from his sexy and hot English and Social Science teacher.
According to police sources, Amy Beck, 33 allegedly confessed to police that she had sexual relations with the male student between March and September of last year. If Beck really talked to the police she needs a mental evaluation since nobody in their right mind would do that.
For her cooperation Beck is now being held in jail on a $400,000.00 bond
Beck taught for ten years at Burbank’s David Starr Jordan Middle School until she resigned last Friday.
If I was on the criminal jury there could be but one verdict from me, NOT GUILTY.
Okay, I just don’t get it. I don’t see anything but a lucky young lad who got a special treat. If there was a crime here it was the kid blabbing.
As for damages against the school district I’d not give a red cent to anyone if I was on the civil jury.
Yes I would have a different opinion if the sexes were reversed or it was a same sex student-teacher relationship.
Can we please spend precious tax dollars on something important rather than this crap?
Chicago, IL—Adolph Hitler had absolute power during his 12 year reign of terror. Hitler’s wildest dream is about to be outdone in the Windy City if police Superintendent Jody Weiss has his way. The taxpayers of this once great city will be paying for hidden cameras to spy on themselves.
Citizen privacy has been on the ropes in modern times. With data collection, telephone records, privately operated surveillance cameras, I-pass toll roads, photo traffic enforcement, the TSA along with their naked cameras and relaxed government searching rules, there’s no escape. The only final privacy frontiers left to violate will be government bed, toilet and shower cameras.
There are those that will say, “We must do everything possible to catch criminals.” That, as they suggest just where to position the cameras. Of course it will be away, from themselves but toward their neighbors.
Is there no expense government can’t seem to incur? It’s great to live in a country than can afford to spend unlimited money on maintaining a police state.
China--Here we have loyal, brave, Kool-Aid drinking Socialists at work. We need to ask our politicians why do we trade or do any business at all with these despicable tyrants?
Karachi, Pakistan—In 2004, I began investigating Adam Gadahan in Southern California. He’d become a big news story following a captured American Taliban fighter, John Walker Lindh now doing serious federal prison time. I interviewed Gadahan's family members and people that knew him before he relocated to Pakistan.
Gadahan grew up in a rural area of Riverside County, CA. Gadahan's father still owns the goat farm there. Gadahan became a Muslim joined a Mosque in Orange County where his hot temper got his a brush with the law. His assault on another Muslim at the Mosque resulted in his only known criminal record.
Gadahan was vigorously defended by is aunt who first claimed that her nephew was not involved with al-Qaida but later suggested that he’s must have been brainwashed in Pakistan.
One thing we know for sure Gadahn made videos that threatened his former country, tried to recruit Americans to join the al-Qaida terror campaign and pissed off a lot of Americans. He also urged al-Qaida sympathetic Americans to make war here.
Gadahan was soon indicted and had a $1 million bounty placed on his head. Finally Gadahan has been captured and may face now the music for his behavior.
Gadahan was charged with Treason. The only person in recent memory to face that charge was 70 year-old lady lawyer Lynne Stewart. Stewart is doing time for that right now.
The defense of treason is protected free speech. Gadahan’s propaganda videos are all speech but really nasty speech at that.
I’m much more interested in his associations and knowledge. I’d give him immunity if his revelations could cripple or destroy al-Qaida. I’d hope they’d give this kid the opportunity to redeem himself. Of course if he can’t deliver that he can rot in prison for the rest of his life. Treason is not a capital offense these days.
Los Angeles, CA—I had a chance meeting with a TSA official high up in the food chain. I will not name this contact for obvious reasons. I will call the person, Col Klink the fictional German POW camp character from Hogan’s Heroes.
Col. Klink knew I had written scores of articles condemning the TSA and their employees. Klink also knew about a nasty run in I had two months ago at LAX. Klink said, these are just people trying to make a living at a very difficult job and they don’t deserve the constant bashing you give them. He further said, “They are only following the mandates given to them.”
I explained to Klink that that “only following orders” defense did not work for Nazi war criminals and the TSA workers should not rely on that either.
I told Klink we have a Fourth Amendment that was intended to protect Americans from warrant-less search and seizure when probable cause of criminal activity does not exist. Klink retorted with his belief that we don’t have to board commercial aircraft and that this is voluntary. I told Klink to tell that lie to people traveling because their livelihood requires it or people going to funerals of loved ones, I’m just not buying it.
The TSA does not properly select, hire, train or supervise their workers. The TSA is a total mess that’s beyond repair. It’s a jobs program gone wrong.
To begin with the searching of passengers will never preclude or even slow down the introduction of explosives or weapons on airplanes except for the passengers that care about the laws of contraband and weapons.
If wardens of maximum security prisons can’t keep weapons and drugs out of their facilities the TSA mission is indeed impossible.
I also told Klink that I believe that the government has only created the illusion of security through passenger, inconvenience, harassment and abuse. The government feels the public would believe we are unprotected and endangered without their layers of pretend security and high visibility.
Klink agreed that the TSA was involved in a security charade costing Americans hundreds of billions of dollars. Klink said Homeland Security officials would expect the airlines to go bankrupt over frightened passengers staying away especially after 9/11.
Klink said the public is ungrateful, rude and disrespectful to their officers and that bloggers like me legitimize that behavior. Klink told me too many passengers place a higher value on their perceived rights than the fragile feelings of the TSA workers and that is a recipe for unacceptable conflict.
I told Klink the TSA workers are overly impressed with their own importance. Further, I said the TSA workers view themselves as heroic law enforcement officers saving American lives and that’s pure hogwash.
Klink talked about low morale, poor self image and high turnover affecting workers in a negative ways. Klink said that they constantly reinforce to their officers that they are not cops and have very little authority to do more that contact police or federal law enforcement on an observe and report basis. Klink cited the expensive snappy new blue uniforms and gold police style badges as needed to combat their morale issues.
I told Klink that when there is a conflict or issues of attitude between his screeners and passengers that the screeners retaliate with slower and closer inspections of the passenger’s personal belongings. The passenger is treated like a criminal in a true sadistic sense and that is horrible.
Klink actually asked me, what I’d do in the way commercial air travel anti-terrorism security? Since he opened that door I hit him hard with answers.
I’d reduce the TSA employee numbers to 25% of the current strength. TSA employees would be properly selected, trained, armed and have limited police powers.
Routine searching of passengers and their luggage would end. All off duty local, state and federal law enforcement officers would be allowed to carry their loaded duty weapons.
All pilots would be required to be trained and armed with weapons to continue working. Pilots would have full police powers throughout every airport and aircraft they are assigned.
Every agent of the TSA would be engaged in criminal profiling, selecting passengers for screening based on behavior standards and suspicious activity. K-9 officers would be meeting and greeting passengers on a routine basis.
No person with a passport from a country we are at war with, declared or not, shall board our aircraft.
No citizen will ever face arrest or prosecution if they inadvertently pack or have a legal firearms or knife in their luggage. All legal property taken for safekeeping will be returned by mail or common carrier at the expense of the passenger.
The last thing that was brought up was whether I’d get involved with training TSA officers if requested. I told Klink that TSA officials would accept me for that role over their dead bodies. I told him I’d do it on a contract for my regular hourly rate.
Klink said I should have been called to testify in Congress when they were making laws. I told Klink that would only happen in a perfect world.
This is a typical TSA screener at her best playing God outside of the airport terminal. This nation is in trouble.
Los Angeles, CA—About a year ago I met the really fun veteran and hand-standing athletic champ of Saturday Night Live, Victoria Jackson. This lady is a real kick and was a true joy to meet.
Jackson is a true endangered species in La La Land since she is a Conservative. Above all she is an entertainer. Sit back and enjoy her little informative song,There’s a Communist in the Whitehouse.
Phoenix, AZ—I met J.D. Hayworth while doing investigative TV news freelancing. Hayworth was a talented sportscaster and good family man.
One day in 1993 he told me he wanted to run against the Leftist Congresswoman Karen English who among other things voted for the 1994 Clinton Gun Ban that has since expired.
Hayworth told me he was going to make an official announcement across the street from English’s office so I was there to watch the campaign get unveiled. Haworth won and English faded away.
Hayworth represented Arizona from 1995 to 2007, never lost sight of Conservative values and never once had an ethical dilemma. Hayworth kept his promises unlike most politicians but eventually lost his seat to a Liberal.
Today Hayworth his challenging that pretend Conservative and failed Presidential candidate, John McCain. McCain was and is exactly what was wrong with Congress. He voted lockstep with Clinton and Obama on most issues.
McCain tried to legitimize decades of trespassing across our borders by human traffickers, drug dealers, welfare cheats and economic refugees. He called it “Immigration Reform”. Rather than reform it was a blanket pardon for criminal acts and the reward of the keys to our treasury. The whole sickening concept gave Green Card preference to criminals over immigrants waiting in line following the letter of Immigration Law. Rather than reform McCain chose to take America down the road to ruin.
McCain ran a pathetic and lackluster Presidential campaign that never once challenged the eventual winner. Conservatives boycotted the polls because they knew McCain was a Progressive pretender.
Finally we have a chance to oust McCain and install a legitimate Conservative. Crimefile News asks that you vote for J.D. Hayworth for the United States Senate.
Cole Porter once boasted and made a bet in a bar that he could compose a song on the spot. He won that bet with this masterpiece recorded by Jose Feliciano more than 40 years ago.
Phoenix, AZ—At the Winter Range cowboy meet and shoot Eagle grips introduced the Evil Roy grip designs. They are both for the single action revolvers and 1911 .45 grips pictured here.
Evil Roy is one of the best known SASS shooters in the world. He was able to figure out a way to make the 1911 grips thinner without alteration to the bushings of the 1911. The grips as you can see are flat and not round.
The Evil Roy grips are available only at EAGLE GRIPS where the competitively priced grips can be shipped to you without delay.
These 1911 grip has generated quite a buzz around those shooters that idolize their favorite autoloader. The Evil Roy revolver grips are also available for your six-guns too.
Learn what inspired these great grips from Evil Roy himself below:
Chicago, IL—Retired firefighter Ted Kozak is a political prisoner of the State of Illinois. He is there because he dared keep and bear arms in Chicago, Illinois.
Someday it’s hoped that those despots who put him in prison be forced into the same punishment or even worse for violating Kozak’s civil rights. Kozack is not, nor has he ever been a danger to anyone.
In the meantime Kozak appears to have just been sent to the facility where he will stay until released because of appeals or when he is paroled.
As all Illinois prisons this one houses 90% miserable, African-American criminals. Kozack is probably in reasonable fear of his life every day and depression is his constant companion.
Please take the time to send Kozack a letter or card.
