Prosecutors Duck Drew Peterson Trial

Joliet, IL—Prosecutors have turned tail and fled from selection of a Jury tomorrow after the Judge in the case ruled against some of the hearsay statements against retired police sergeant Drew Peterson.

Citing their wish to appeal the ruling, Will County State’s Attorney James Glascow has asked Judge Stephen White to continue the case. Because of the time involved in perfecting such an appeal the case could take six months to a year before a trial could commence.

Under those circumstances it’s now clear there is a substantial lack of evidence and Drew Peterson will likely be ordered released. Peterson has been in custody for a year since he was indicted and arrested on a charge of murdering his third wife Kathleen Savio. There is the serious issue of speedy trial rights of anyone accused of crimes in America.

The difficult part for anyone reporting this story is that motions are filed under seal and the lawyers are barred from talking about specifics of the hearsay conversations excluded from evidence.

One thing for sure, the case against Peterson always was incredibly weak and if Peterson is acquitted they won’t be able to try him again should any real evidence surface.

Prosecutors and police have been recently claiming that they’re close to locating the remains of Peterson's fourth wife Stacy Peterson who has remained missing. It remains to be seen just how true those claims really are.

Prominent defense team member, Joe “The Shark” Lopez said Glasgow. “chickened out, since he has no case.”

Peterson is expected to be released from custody in time for lunch tomorrow.


In the mean time all those people that hate drew Peterson will have to return to wringing their hands and relentlessly complaining about the rights of an accused to a fair and speedy trial.


Update 8 July: Judge Stephen White just ruled that Peterson must remain in jail. That ruling will get quick review by the Illinois Court of Appeals. I suspect Judge white did not have the gonads to do his job because of all the whiners.

New Daley Gun Ban Is Object of New Litigation

Chicago, IL—The ink was not dry on Chicago’s defiant new gun ban before a new federal District Court lawsuit was filed against Mayor Richard M. Daley and the City of Chicago. The new case is Benson vs City of Chicago.

The plaintiffs are asking that the new effort to keep Chicago’s law-abiding citizens disarmed be declared unconstitutional and an injunction be issued preventing its enforcement.

The complaint which is attached below also contains verbatim quotes from members of the City Council insulting and criticizing the United States Supreme Court as they conspire to violate the Civil Rights of Chicagoans.

The gratuitous remarks of the Council members quoted complaint are a window into their lawlessness and intent to simply defy the law of the land.

Benson v. Chicago Complaint FINAL[1]

Lindsey Lohan is a Victim of Celebrity Justice

Beverly Hills, CA—Lindsey Lohan has created the very public image of herself as a wild child. First of all she is very young and has had a life of privilege and excess that challenges her personal development. Looks, natural talent and a good agent brought Lohan as much trouble as her rewards because of a natural maturity issue.

Yes, Lohan made her bed and apparently filled it with alcohol, drugs and energetic lesbians. It’s all part of a surreal existence that fuels needed publicity and keeps Lohan’s name out there. The fact is, any publicity is usually good publicity in Hollywood. Publicity does have a serious down side. Lohan can’t even pee in privacy.

Lohan has not been served well by her own dysfunctional family, choice of friends or our government. Lohan is on the fast track to become another human life destroyed on the Boulevard of Broken Dreams.

When but a few American citizens find themselves arrested for petty ante DUI and drug violations they are never put on display in garish live TV courtroom settings. If and when ordinary people slip they are punished in a substantially more dignified manner.

A sick segment of our society wants to see Lohan or any celebrity suffer publicly for their misdeeds. These pathetic people need to get a life of their own.

Lohan seems to have a problem that perhaps 30 or 60 days in a sound rehabilitation program may help. This is more about a massive effort at tyrannical government humiliation, than an effort to deal with a kid with what everyone agrees has an illness. Jail cells are for criminals who hurt others. Lohan has only victimized herself.

In addition to Lohan’s woes the rent on her West Hollywood apartment and utilities must still be paid while she doing time and is in rehab with limited sources of income. Lohan may deserve some sanction, but instead she’s getting 100 times what she deserves through celebrity justice.

Lohan will have massive career obstacles when this punishment is over. Resurrection will be very difficult but not impossible.

Lohan should write a tell-all auto-biography while she is in the Gulag. I’m sure there’s a publisher or two around that will pay a decent advance for “Hollywood Rehab for Dummies” or “Life after Celebrity Justice”.

I don’t want to see Lohan as another Courtney Love or a female version of Gary Bussey. I’d hope that book would be the last we her about Lohan’s, wild child days. I do want to see Lohan in good health and enjoying publicity for her ability as an actress and singer.

If there is some saving grace is that 90 days in the financially strapped L.A. County Jail will actually get her less than three weeks in the slammer..

Will Lohan reclaim her life? We will have to wait and see.

NRA takes Daley to court over new gun ban law

This is an announcement from the NRA today:

NRA Supporting Chicago Residents New Suit Against Mayor Richard Daley and the City of Chicago

Tuesday, July 06, 2010

Fairfax, Va. -- The National Rifle Association is supporting a lawsuit against Mayor Richard Daley and the City of Chicago's newly adopted gun control ordinance, which violates the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling in McDonald v. City of Chicago. Last Friday, the City Council rushed through passage of this ordinance in response to the Court's June 28th decision rendering Chicago’s draconian handgun ban unconstitutional.

“The Supreme Court has now said the Second Amendment is an individual freedom for all. And that must have meaning,” said Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association. “This decision cannot lead to different measures of freedom, depending on what part of the country you live in. City by city, person by person, this decision must be more than a philosophical victory. An individual right is no right at all if individuals can’t access it.”

Just four days after the Court struck down the nearly 30 year-long handgun bans in Chicago and Oak Park, Mayor Daley and the City of Chicago enacted the most restrictive anti-gun ordinance in the United States. In the words of Corporation Counsel Mara Georges, the top attorney for the City: “We've gone farther than anyone else ever has.” The so-called “Responsible Gun Ownership Ordinance” provisions include: a prohibition on all gun sales inside the City; a prohibition on possession of firearms for self-defense outside the “home” -- even on a patio or in an attached garage; a prohibition on more than one assembled and operable firearm in the home; and a training requirement to obtain a Chicago Firearm Permit. However, range training would be impossible since it will now be unlawful to operate a shooting range inside city limits.

“The Supreme Court told Mayor Daley and the City of Chicago that it has to respect the Second Amendment. By enacting this ordinance, their response is 'Make Us',” said Chris W. Cox, NRA chief lobbyist. “The NRA will not rest until Chicago's law-abiding residents can exercise the same freedoms that our Founding Fathers intended all Americans to have.”

Recent statements from some of Chicago's city officials reflect their complete lack of respect for the Supreme Court decision. Alderman Daniel Solis stated, “the decision made by the Supreme Court is not really in the best interests of our citizens.” Alderman Sharon Denise Dixon denounced what she called the Court’s “blatant… misreading of the law.” And another city council member even went so far as to say, “[w]e’re here today because of their poor judgment."

The case is Benson v. City of Chicago.

Daley’s Defiant New Gun Ban Is Published Here…

Chicago, IL—In a move that can only be described as lawless Mayor Daley and his City Council have defied the United States Supreme Court edict under McDonald vs City of Chicago. The court has struck down the gun ban as it more importantly established that no state or local governments can infringe on the people’s right to keep and bear arms.

The written formal order is forthcoming from the 7th Circuit court of Appeals where the matter was remanded. The fact remains that the gun ban was formally and finally declared unconstitutional and gun rights infringements are forever unenforceable nationwide. .

Mayor Richard M. Daley made no bones about it saying he would find other roadblocks to keep Chicagoans from enjoying their absolute right. Daley kept his word and placed the taxpayers of Chicago in the position of being the ATM for every person that finds their Constitutional rights violated. Daley did so by conspiring with other politicians and bureaucrats under his iron fist to willfully violate Civil Rights.

Here is the final insult to the Supreme Court and every citizen of Chicago:

Gun Control July 22010

It’s Race Riot Season In California Again…

Los Angeles, CA—The jury is out deliberating on murder charges against a young White transit cop over a fatal incident at the Oakland's Fruitvale station. A young African-American wanted to hold court on a transit platform while resisting arrest. The offender, Oscar Grant, Jr. was putting on a show for his friends who were recording the altercation on their cell-phone cameras.

Fighting police is risky behavior that serves little purpose and only makes things much worse. Holding court in a courtroom instead of the streets is always a better idea, but the show for Grant’s friends had to go on.

This time something went terribly wrong and the young cop grabbed his service pistol instead of his electronic stun gun. Instead of lighting up this street performer with electricity he let a round fly from his .40 caliber pistol.

Was it an intentional act or an accident? That’s what the jury is trying to determine. To arrive at an answer the jury would have to either follow the reasonable doubt standard and free the cop or read the tea leaves and convict on a psychic guess.

If the jury either acquits or hangs on a split vote Oakland’s thugs will be out in full force. Perhaps with enough media coverage the violence can spread across the country. We may be finding out just how racially divided we are.

A race riot would not be about Oscar Grant or the young cop, but about the big picture of a divided America and opportunistic thugs waiting to burn, rape and plunder.
Police in every community with a large African-American population within California are bracing for the worst. How many innocent people will have property destroyed, be injured or killed by thugs using this verdict as an excuse for more senseless violence?

Of course after the shooting there was a pretty nasty riot in Oakland. Too bad the thugs did not get it out of their system.

Frankly I don’t see a basis for a conviction. This is a case that should have been settled in a civil rather than a criminal court. Negligence is much easier to prove there than any criminal court.

Hero Fireman May Be Freed Because of the McDonald Gun Case

Dixon, IL—Ted Kozak is a genuine hero. He is a retired Chicago firefighter who sits locked up today in a downstate prison.

Kozak never threatened, hurt or killed anyone. He had not been involved in any criminal activity in his entire life.

Kozak was a gun collector and at one point had two valuable collector sub-machine guns in his home safe. The guns were never involved in crimes and were certainly not stolen. They came from a now deceased Chicago cop pal of Kozak.

Contrary to belief machine guns were never banned by the federal government, but only taxed during transfer or manufacture. The politicians of State of Illinois however saw fit to ban them making mere possession a serious felony. Because they are banned in the state, the bureaucrats at the BATFE refuse to allow registration under the Firearms Act of 1934.

Since Kozak was victimized by an absolute and total ban on military firearms by Illinois that deprived him of his Second Amendment rights. Kozak’s possession of those two guns was and is constitutionally protected.

Since Kozak had an absolute right to own and carry these firearms according to both the Heller and McDonald cases there has never been a crime. Very simply the State of Illinois, the City of Chicago it’s police department and various members of the Area two Gun Teem violated ted Kozak Civil Rights.

Now Kozak can file suit in Federal Court and demand an order freeing him. Kozak may also be entitled to damages and attorney’s fees. Let’s hope Kozak’s lawyers are moving quickly to right this terrible wrong.

Happy Independence Day

I want to tell you all there is light peeking out at the end of the tunnel. Barack Obama is losing favor fast with the media and independent voters. His poll numbers are in the toilet waiting to be flushed.

Obama’s treason is beyond obvious now as he furiously has set about to destroy America’s free enterprise, economy and currency. His obvious goal is to replace it with a failed socialist model. I have serious doubts that Obama will be permitted finish his first and last term in our Whitehouse.

Americans have educated themselves about freedom, liberty and how we obtained it. They are also learning that keeping freedom is a constant struggle that requires blood to be shed from time to time.

We have had two great victories in the Supreme Court on our sacred right to keep and bear arms.

Please don’t become complacent. We must always let our politicians know that treason is very hazardous to their health and very life. Let freedom Ring!

How McDonald Impacts Concealed Weapons Nationwide

Chicago, IL—The major war on gun rights is over and the people won. The United States Supreme Court applied the Second Amendment to the 50 states for the very first time. That means state and local jurisdictions can no longer infringe on you rights to keep (possess) and bear (carry) arms. McDonald trumps any and all gun bans outside courthouses, commercial aircraft and correctional facilities.

Prosecutors and judges all over the country are going to stop prosecutions over weapons carrying for self-defense cold. Mayor Richard M. Daley’s new gun ban is dead before it will take effect.

Mayor Daley Says No Guns For Negroes!

Chicago, IL—Not so long ago in American history African-Americans were shut out of the voting booth through extortionate poll taxes. Blacks had no money and voting was impossible. It took a while but the courts intervened and the poll taxes were outlawed.

There was another outrageous obstacle preventing African-Americans from voting and that was literacy testing. The majority of Blacks, were just too poorly educated and could not pass the tests local governments required. If a voter could not pass the test, the voter could not vote. Again the courts finally intervened and banned the illegal practice.

A Constitutional right is just that, a right. Government can’t require anyone to either, pay for, be tested for or wait in order to enjoy a Civil Right. Mayor Richard M. Daley and the City Council have defied the law of the land and civil liberties of the people of Chicago by attempting to circumvent the United States Supreme Court’s edict in McDonald vs. City of Chicago.

The City of Chicago has done all of the above to violate the Civil Rights of Chicagoans with their brand new gun ban scheme. In order to enjoy the right to own a handgun they are requiring extortionate fees, testing, and waiting up to four months as a scheme or artifice to prevent gun ownership.

Government can require fees, testing and waiting before granting privileges such as driving an automobile. Government cannot treat Civil Rights in the same fashion as privileges.

The law-abiding African-Americans of Chicago have suffered the most because they have been at the mercy of armed criminals, an undermanned police department and early inmate release programs by corrections officials. Imagine being poor and living in the ghetto without the meaningful ability to defend yourself.

A trip any day to Chicago’s Cook County Morgue is a lesson in murder and racial discrimination. The overwhelming percentage of murder victims brought here are Black. This demonstrates both the enablement of violent criminals by Daley’s failed gun ban and preventable suffering by victims that were barred from defending themselves.

Chicago’s Aldermen and Mayor, on the other hand have the right their office gives them to carry concealed weapons. They are overpaid, part-time workers that live and work in relative safety as they drive safe cars and commute to safe locations to do their work and play. The Mayor and at least one Alderman have 24/7 bodyguard details of armed Chicago cops.

This is nothing less than a Civil Rights issue. The very ugly origin of Gun Control in America began in the South during Post-Civil War Reconstruction as a way to keep the newly freed slaves disarmed. The concept spread North as a way to keep immigrants disarmed.

If the pathetic politicians of City of Chicago were really concerned about gun safety they’d offer free classes in existing schools. Obviously they only demand it now to enable them to violate Civil Rights. Free classes on gun safety would certainly be good public policy.

It is not the fault of Chicago’s African-Americans who have been kept ignorant and needy by a Socialist run school system. The culture of entitlement addiction and gratuitous violence has been tolerated and indulged as a way to keep this population away from the American dream. Educated and elegant people just don’t vote the Socialist ticket.

This film is a real eye-opener.

Say Farewell To Gun Laws! The Floodgates are Open!

Madison, WI—The DA will be rejecting prosecution of state laws that infringe on gun rights in view of the McDonald decision handed down by the Supreme Court on Monday.

Jackson County District Attorney Gerald R. Fox said in a statement he will no longer prosecute Wisconsin's prohibitions on carrying concealed weapons, transporting uncased or loaded guns in vehicles, carrying guns in public buildings and taverns and carrying switchblades and butterfly knives. He said the Supreme Court's ruling renders those statutes unconstitutional.

Wisconsin has had some of the most restrictive gun laws on the books in the country. In recent years concealed weapons were legalized twice by the state legislature only to be vetoed by the governor.

Fox is correct in his assessment and won’t be a party to civil rights violations as a result. Of course other government officials will find themselves on the defendant’s side of courtrooms all over the country.

We can look for lots of judges to dismiss cases and prosecutors refusing them simply because they are following their oaths and the law of the land.

Criminals beware! The days of gun bans and Gun free Zones are happily coming to an end in America.

Here is Fox’s press release on the matter:

Telephone Ringtone Lands Man In Jail

Hamburg, Germany—Train travel in this great country is as good as it gets. They have electricity for your laptop, gaming device or DVD players and unlike airplanes you’re free to use your cell phones. Trains are an incredibly relaxing way to travel and at least in Germany. Most importantly to me is that you’re not searched like a criminal by TSA lowlifes before you board.

One quiet trip to this Northern city was shattered by annoying sound of an especially obnoxious ringtone. One unidentified 54 year-old man’s ringtone was one of Adolph Hitler’s more memorable speeches. The Furher ringtone gave new life to the dark promise of, “the destruction of world Jewry” if Germany was “dragged” into war.

Hitler’s reign was catastrophic to Germany and its people. Nine million Germans and six million Jews perished under National Socialism. The legal reconstruction of post-war Germany has just one caveat to free speech. No Nazi artwork, symbols, or expressions of affection for National Socialism are allowed

After the offending phone rang several times it garnered police attention after someone summoned them from the train. Police detained the passenger and seized numerous pictures, stickers and swastikas glorifying National Socialism from his belongings. Now the man faces six months in a jail cell.

My thoughts are the laws against Nazi worship backfired making the outlawed activities much more attractive because it’s illegal.

Of course if that ringtone was a speech by our own Socialist, Master of The Teleprompter, I would definitely be very annoyed to say the least. Making Obama’s speeches illegal would mean he’d never shut up.
