Officer Shot By Career Criminal Gunman Is In Stable But Serious Condition.

She’s a wife and mother who is struggling to survive this morning in a local hospital. Her copper husband, Tim Pearce is somehow coping with the aftermath caused by the bleeding hearts that run California’s criminal justice system.

The now dead armed robber, James Fenton McNeal, 52 who shot officer Kristina Ripatti twice, had served multiple prison terms for crimes that included robbery and murder. We must ask ourselves why do we keep electing politicians who insist on the failed policies of letting repeat offenders roam our streets while insisting we be saddled with insane gun laws that only restrict the rights of the law-abiding?

California’s draconian gun laws are enforceable only on the law abiding and never prevent thugs like McNeal from obtaining and criminally using their guns. McNeal is yet another poster boy that proves gun laws just don’t work. It’s long past the time for reform of California’s gun laws to return to the law-abiding their right to carry concealed weapons for self-protection.

We can only hope our hero officer, Kristine Ripatti and her family can somehow quickly heal from this horrible ordeal both physically and emotionally. Officer Rippatti deserves all of our gratitude for having that special courage to confront and deal with a desperate armed robber.

After working in prison system for 4 years, California liberals wants this to be a make me feel good state. Inmates in the California prison system have more rights then the officers who watches them. We had one LT. say we should treat them like family members. So, that is why they keep coming back to prison, prison is a hotel stop for them. There's no incentive for them to stop coming back.

Kristina and Family, I was watching tv today and stumbled across Extreme makeovers home edition which aired your family's new home. Although I have watched many episodes of EMHE I must admit that this episode really jerked at my heart and left me compelled to locating you on line and leaving a message. Kristina, I dont know how it feels to be in your shoes right now but as a Rehabilitation Nurse I have worked with so many people who have had spinal cord injuries and i must say that I have found that the key to any recovery, including yours is a positive attitude and the support of a strong family in which both of the keys you possess. I know in my heart you will walk again if you aren't already. Recovery takes time and sometimes longer than we as humans may want to endure but Kristina I know you will make it through. You really touch my heart and I must admit I cried through the entire episode but not out of sorrow. I cried because I want so much for you and your family have you whole, complete, and back on that surf board as well as being able to do all the things your heart desires. I am keeping you all in my prayers and wishing you the best in everything from the absolute bottom of my heart. And before I forget....To your husband, you are awesome and I truly beleive that you and Kristina are meant to be. I also believe that God put you in Kristina's life for a reason and during such a trying time you have showed us all what a real man is capable of and more so a role model for husbands and fathers alike. Again I am keeping you all in my heart and Kristina, continue to stay strong,and when you take those steps just know that you have a friend here in Virginia cheering you on. From my heart to yours, Chalanda Billups (Landalaya12478@yahoo.com) Feel free to keep me posted on your recovery and if you just want a friend to talk to I am always here.:)

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

America Will See Its Worst Race Riot Yet This Summer

Star Prosecution Witness, Rachel Jeantel Sanford, FL —Yes, the George Zimmerman trial here has thousands of African-Americans getting ready for some serious bloodletting. I don’t want to make idle and dire predictions but this nation has never been so divided and racially sensitive.  Our African-American President took sides on this case at the very beginning.  That ratified a George Zimmerman guilty verdict in the minds of millions. There’s just one little problem, and that is the murder case should have never been filed.  It was filed purely for political reasons despite the fact that it was a simple justifiable homicide.  Zimmerman was on the block watch lookout program and followed a suspicious Trayvon Martin after he used an improper entrance to a gated community.  Zimmerman was acting as the eyes and ears of the Sanford Police Department. Martin did not like being followed and knew that he could easily beat up the out-of-shape...
