Los Angeles, CA —Today a jury decided that James Fayed , 48 should pay for the killing of his wife with his own life. James Fayed, a shady gold dealer was facing an expensive and difficult divorce with the victim, Pamela Fayed , 44. The FBI was investigating Fayed’s unlicensed business and Pamela Fayed began cooperating with investigators. James Fayed was convicted of Special Circumstances Murder. The plot involved, his paying $25,000.00 to a trusted employee who conspired with two others to slash and stab Pamela Fayed to death outside of her car on the third floor Century City parking garage after she met with attorneys to settle the divorce. The defense of James Fayed became hopeless when he was recorded admitting the murder to a jailhouse informant while attempting to contract for the murders of his co-defendants. The recording was played for the jury. The other three men are still awaiting trial. The trial judge is not bound by the jury’s recommendation but it would be highly...

I can’t help but to think of the hundreds of thousand of Americans who gave their precious lives so we would have the free nation. Today those who have given this nation zero have eagerly relinquished the hard won freedom in favor of a nanny police state. That is a crying shame. I was required to answer my country’s military draft and did so paying my price as an American. I can’t help but feel some guilt for being the only member of a 200 man Light Weapons Infantry Company to be sent to Germany. I proudly served as a medical corpsman during the Cold War. It was a lesser sacrifice but two years of my young life seemed like a lot back then. We must remember our brave veterans by fighting any curbs on our freedoms by enemies of our Bill of Rights. Unfortunately these foes are inside our government and Whitehouse. This fight will take all the courage we can muster.

Washington, DC—George Bush was a terrible president indeed. The Republican Party in America had lost its way with the RINOs that controlled the leadership. We became a nanny nation mired in debt. Conservative voters were disenfranchised as the Republican Party slated that Leftist, John McCain to run as president. Conservatives boycotted the polls. Chicago’s Daley/Burke Democratic Corruption Machine pushed a Black, Hyde Park neighborhood “community organizer” turned Senator to head the Democratic ticket. He was a, Saul Alinsky/Karl Marx disciple that seemed by many to offer an alternative to the Bush disaster. Today however, Barack Obama is a clear and present danger to America and enabling its rapidly disappearing freedom. Obama showed promise, at least to hopeful Liberals of running a transparent government that would get us out of Afghanistan and Iraq. Somehow the Liberals felt he’d get rid of the hated and misnamed Patriot Act , and perhaps make an effort to end the federal deat...

Chicago, IL —Most people see the danger of police work only involving death or injury in the line of duty. Interrupting armed-robberies, burglaries or entering the scene of a domestic disturbance can be dangerous. There are other risks that can ruin you life. More cops by far are victimized by life changing lies and injustice than being injured or killed. Cops can’t get a fair trial these days in Cook County should they be accused of a crime. The jury pool is loaded with cop haters and waiving a jury is no bargain when the judges are all beholding to prosecutors for political reasons. Being a cop requires becoming embroiled in disputes, temper tantrums and real violence, that is, if you do your job. The late Democratic Congressman Roman Puchinski had a drug-addicted son who was a prolific burglar. No less than six Chicago cops were lied about, fired by the Chicago Police Board and disgraced over a five-year period. Their transgression was to simply arrest the younger Puchinski fo...

Warning—there are plenty of graphic details in this story. Chicago, IL —It was May 25, 1979 at 3:15 in the afternoon. Weather in the Windy City could not be nicer. We were just told to switch to short sleeves in a uniform directive. I was on a one-man car mail delivery run and in the vicinity of West Touhy Ave near O’Hare Airport. I heard an officer come on my radio with emergency traffic saying that a DC-10 airplane was going down. There was genuine panic in that officer’s voice. Back then, I did not know a DC10 from Piper Cub, just that it was an airplane. I felt warm air hit my left arm that was out my car window. I saw a mushroom shaped cloud appear nearby. I snapped on my lights and siren and raced about two blocks to the scene. I did not know it but I was about to arrive at the largest airplane disaster to date in U.S history. The crash of American Airlines, flight #191 happened on takeoff from O’Hare to Los Angeles. A wing engine fell off, due to mainten...

Chicago, IL-- I get a lot of requests as to why the defense needs to do an investigation on behalf of someone charged with a serious crime. After all they tell me, the police have already done this and made reports that get turned over in the legal discovery process. The problem is police usually get half the real story or even less. They only focus on gathering enough evidence to charge someone with a crime. Let me say this I have yet to find a case where the government witnesses tell the truth. People lie just because they can. There are little lies and of course total fabrications. When someone’s entire life is threatened with decades behind bars a real effort must be made by the defense to learn the truth. Complainants accuse people of crime because they really happen but also for some nefarious reasons. The majority of reported criminal allegations are in fact true however the victims and witnesses tend to exaggerate the facts. Then there are the allegations made for fun, profit...

Los Angeles--The United States Supreme Court has spoken and now 46,000 bogymen must be released from California prisons. With no jobs available as it is, the prospects for honest work for these proven thugs is simply non-existent. The majority of these criminals are drug addicted and will do anything to pay the cost of feeding their habits. California is about to see a firestorm of crime like never before. A more logical way to deal with this is through ending the drug prohibition and letting out only drug offenders. Burglars, robbers, rapists and such need to stay put. With legalized drugs, their cost will fall to that of sugar or tea. These addicted convicts, won’t need to rob and murder to sustain their chosen condition. Those in prison for possession, manufacture, sale or trafficking in drugs can be released. The Drug Lords, Drug Czars and such will be forced out of business in a single day. Selling drugs will have no better profits than selling tacos. We can still maintain ...

Washington, DC —Today the U.S. Supreme Court ordered a massive release of California prisoners to relieve prison overcrowding. Prisoners had overstuffed the facilities creating a cruel and dangerous climate. Of course now the public will be at risk in the Golden State with an invasion of unemployable dangerous criminals. In a good economy these thugs would be hard-pressed to find gainful employment. We all know what they will do to make ends meet and it won’t be pretty. Burglaries, robberies and thefts are sure to skyrocket along with violence being directed at the victims that the thugs encounter along the way. Don’t be a victim, get trained and armed while you still can. You have much more that a right to keep and bear arms, but a duty to do so. It is you who must protect yourself and family. The police will never be able to deal with this wholesale criminal invasion. California’s unconstitutional gun bans must be ignored. Leftist politicians have played God with your life long ...

Today we live in a world where there are video and audio recorders everywhere. You probably have one in your pocket or purse right now if you own a cellular telephone. The problem is a patchwork of inconsistent, illogical and complicated laws that vary widely from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Many states do not restrict one-party consent recordings. Others either limit or prohibit using your cell phone capture what your own ears can lawfully hear. For example you witness a crime being committed or expect to see one unfold in your presence. What better tool could you use to document an objective and accurate record of the event than your cell phone? Of course you could try and commit what you hear to memory or even take notes. The crime in many states is simply getting that accurately accomplished through objective, cheap and available technology. The Illinois Appellate court ruled some 20 years ago that use of a recorder was nothing more than enhanced note-taking and therefore legal. ...

The Indiana Supreme Court recently ruled that citizens cannot resist police invading their homes without warrants. That’s a great ruling that will make deadly home invasions a lot easier for police impersonators. In Pima County, Arizona a SWAT team just put some 60 rounds through an Iraq War veteran that served two tours of duty there protecting America. Frankly I don’t give a rat’s ass what the cop’s claim was that justified that kind of a response. The result was frightening and just what people in a Police State should expect. We have allowed the menace of drugs to be replaced with a much larger menace of bucket helmeted, armed thugs acting under color of law to wage war on Americans. The Drug War has become far more dangerous than any and all outlawed drugs. The majority of crime in America is related to the Drug War. People are killed in police raids including innocent bystanders together with children and senior citizens. Then there are the people victimized because the addicte...

Los Angeles, CA—Pamela Fayed was savagely slashed and stabbed to death in a Century City parking garage in 2008. Her husband, James Fayed was under federal investigation for running a unlicensed gold trading Ponzi scheme. Pamela Fayed was divorcing her husband and cooperating with the FBI in their investigation when she was murdered. Today a jury convicted James Fayed who now may face the death penalty for this crime. The jury was told a horrible story of James Fayed's recruiting and paying a trusted employee who recruited two gang members that carried out the killing. They drove a red Suzuki SUV that was rented by James Fayed that was caught on surveillance tape with the killers at the garage. That evidence was overshadowed by the testimony, a jailhouse snitch that was cooperating with authorities and recorded the hapless James Fayed’s admission on tape. The remaining trio of suspected killers will stand trial separately for their roles in this saga of unbridled greed and contr...

The ever-popular practice of cops and prosecutors to issue press releases, mug shots and to parade criminal suspects before media cameras is a throw back to medieval times. The public loves to celebrate an infamous arrest and prosecution as they direct their rage towards the accused. The ever-changing media has made perpwalks more exciting than Hollywood film premiers. Everybody wants to see the latest bogeyman on public display. It’s a source for instant gratification for the morbidly curious media consumers. There is no public policy benefit to anyone as a result of the present practices. On the contrary there is great harm. The perpwalk and pretrial publicity has made television infotainment programs that channel fear and hate to every person suspected of an infamous crime. The problem is that this vile practice destroys the presumption of innocence and guarantees an unfair trial to the accused. The practice in so many jurisdictions of letting cameras into courtrooms creates...

Munich, Germany— John Demjanjuk like all Ukrainian able-bodied men were rounded up by the Nazis during World War Two and forced into slavery. Demjanjuk was forced to work as a guard at the Sobibor, Poland concentration camp where thousands perished from untreated diseases, old age, starvation and of course mass murder. There were other prisoners forced into the same guard duties at Sobinor but they were Jewish Kappos. Although a few more notorious kappos were beaten or killed by camp survivors when the Russians liberated them, none were ever put on trial for war crimes. Demjanjuk was simply a tool used by our own government’s O ffice of Special Investigations to justify their existence. OSI was funded to identify and locate war criminals that were suspected of fleeing from justice and hiding in the United States. Their record at success was dismal. In the Demjanjuk case the OSI falsely identified him as a notorious criminal dubbed as Ivan the Terrible and nearly got him hanged in...

Chicago, IL —The Reverend Michael Pfleger stood at the helm of the African-American attended St. Sabina Church . He’s currently suspended and can’t preach there after he was insubordinate and disobedient to Cardinal Francis George . Pfleger is a political gadfly preaching his ideology. Rather than to save the souls of his parishioners he has an agenda of ministering their political beliefs. He’s 99 percent political and only one percent religious. Pfleger never met a TV camera he didn’t love and when he talks it’s about political and social issues of the lunatic Left. Pfleger, a gun control zealot targeted DSA Arms in Barrington. They make high end rifles and carbines for a law enforcement and military market. They simply don’t sell their products to the general public. Pfleger brought a busload of parishioners there to picket and parade in front of media cameras. The rub here is DSA Arms does not make an affordable product that would interest Chicago’s street gangs. I guess it...

Berlin, Germany —During a major crisis of unemployment, massive national debt and starvation two political parties, Communism and National Socialism fought for power. Their plans to redistribute wealth and control private enterprise, was identical to what Karl Marx envisioned. We know the National Socialists or the Nazis won that political battle. The Nazi leader, Adolph Hitler had secret plans to capitalize on the unpopularity of Jews and others to the point of mass murder. So began a 12 year administration of terror, corruption and mass murder. Before it was over six million people mostly Jews were annihilated by this criminal regime. What they never talk about is that the Nazis were also directly responsible for the deaths of nine million good Germans. What’s amazing was the rise to absolute power of a man who was considered a great new progressive world leader. He was a man who’d grace the cover of our own Time Magazine as, “Man of the Year”, Adolph Hitler. Hitler exists to...

Chicago, IL —During a recent trip to Chicago involving a criminal trial I wanted to take my blog visitors inside the historic criminal courthouse. This is where the infamous mobster, Al Capone was tried and convicted for Income Tax Evasion. Long ago the Federal Judiciary used some of these facilities for their business too. The movie, The Fugitive starring Harrison Ford was filmed is a courtroom here too. It’s a rare day when cameras are allowed in and never during court proceedings. In 1971 a violent and dangerous criminal, Eugene “Iceman” Lewis’ attempted a daring escape from Judge Earl Strayhorn’s 7th floor judge’s chambers. Lewis, a well know militant Black thug was already under one well-deserved death sentence and was about to receive another for the cold-blooded killing of a Thillen’s Security guard servicing the Sebring Jukebox Company’s payroll more than a year earlier. Lewis took a bailiff and assistant state’s attorney hostage with a gun provided by a court clerk who...

Washington, DC —The saga of the invasion of Pakistan and killing of Osama Bin Laden has been spun out-of-control by Barack Obama and his handlers. They have lost all credibility with their inconsistent stories and multiple staged photographs. That infamous propaganda minister, Josef Goebbels would have at least gotten the stories somewhat straight as he arranged the parades and ceremonies. Obama’s secret government is something out of an Orwellian nightmare. It’s un-American and just plain wrong. Of course Obama’s supporters want to ignore Obama’s redundantly broken promises for an open and transparent government. This is just another serious sign that Obama has an agenda that’s anything but in the interest of America or even the people that supported him. What else is cooking out of sight in the kitchen of our Whitehouse? We’d better find out before it’s too late. Every dictator, despot or corrupt politician in the world came on the scene with a big friendly smile and firm hands...

New York, NY —The United Nations was created and exists with the promise of giving nations a place to debate and settle their differences without mortal combat. That was the grand theory. Instead the UN has become a puppet of the voting majority. Larger nations with dismal histories of human rights never get sanctioned. The majority pursues policies that make genocide and enslavement easier for despot leaders. One only has to study the last 60 years of African nations to see that slaughter after slaughter was ignored and ratified by UN inaction. When the UN arrives it’s always too little, too late. Today the UN as we know it wants to strip the people (individuals) of the world any right to possess firearms. This is the number one enabler of genocide as we know it. There is no holocaust on earth anywhere people have the right to keep and carry firearms. On the contrary, preceding every case of mass murder governments first stripped the people they murdered of firearms. In every case,...

Los Angeles, CA -- Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa with his appointed police chief, Charlie Beck along with other city politicians seem to love the silly idea of gun buy backs. The program was recycled Saturday here at six locations by city officials. They offered gift cards from Ralph's Supermarkets or Visa . A mere handgun would fetch $100.00 while a so-called assault rifle would garner $200.00. As always, there were no questions asked as they handed over the plastic currency to the anonymous participants. As always, most of the guns collected are worth far less than what officials paid for them. These buy backs attract gun dealers from everywhere who see the opportunity to make a small profit unloading what they can’t otherwise sell. In some cases burglars were paid for the proceeds of their crimes turning the LAPD into an illicit fencing operation. Close examination of the junk collected always shows rusted, broken and totally unserviceable firearms. Toys always somehow turn u...

Springfield, IL —The majority of the Legislature here has agreed that law-abiding Illinois residents are entitled to carry concealed weapons. The rub is that Governor Pat Quinn , a gun rights hater only wants criminals armed. The vote requires a veto-proof supermajority to pass. The bill was only a few votes shy of knocking out Quinn’s unreasonable opposition. Now the bill’s supporterS are jockeying around, looking to bring the bill back for another vote. Subject to peculiar Illinois rules it may be attached to another piece of legislation or as a strike-all measure take new life as a bill that was never sent to the floor for a vote. The fact is with a new governor or a couple of changed minds shall-issue permits will be then law of the Land of Lincoln. The fact remains that the people of the State of Illinois are tired of being victims. The resources to keep violent criminals at bay are spread too thin. The Supreme Court said that the states cannot infringe on the right to keep a...

Los Angeles, CA —After a hectic couple of months that took me to Paris, Geneva, Berlin, Amsterdam, Chicago and Pittsburg it was indeed time for a break. I was invited to spend some time with my camera shy friends, Golden Globe winning actress, singer and dancer, Ann Jillian and her husband former Chicago police sergeant Andy Murcia at the beach in Pacific Palisades. They brought some wonderful tuna fish sandwiches with them. I took a small walk along the beach to dream about my next trip to Germany. The elegant women, culture and lifestyle of Germany sends me into creativity. I so want to produce a television series for an America audience in Berlin. This was a great break from the worries of what’s happening in our world today. I hope I can share a little of the break with you all. Sit back and listen to the late (died in 2003) great, singer, song-writer and attorney Ed Townsend sing his 1958 hit, For Your Love …

It’s happing in cities all over the United States. African-Americans gather as an army of robbers by texting or social media. They strike a store without warning and forcefully grab anything in sight. Often employees and customers are beaten during these crimes. These brazen crimes cannot be dealt with by ordinary police patrols. This will take citizens fighting back using whatever force is necessary to halt the crime. Anytime there is a disparity of force with multiple offenders the use of deadly force such as shooting, stabbing or clubbing them is justified in all 50 states. Should you happen to use deadly force hanging around and waiting for police is both dangerous and ill advised. Leave the area for your safety and don’t call or talk to police out of presence of a qualified criminal lawyer. You have no duty to do that and you also have an absolute right to remain silent. As these crimes go unpunished they will become even more common. If you see a group of young Afric...

Washington, DC --Above the late Supreme Court Justice Robert Jackson is prosecuting war criminals at Nuremberg. Is it time for another such trial based on these principals? Barack Obama that campaigned on ending the two wars started by Bush? The same guy who wanted to close GITMO and give suspected terrorists Due Process and civilian trials? By what authority did Obama order the invasion of a nation not engaged in war with the U.S. and kill anyone? To enter sovereign Pakistan with soldiers and helicopters to make war on a criminal suspect, Osama Bin Laden and the members of his household is exactly what the Nuremberg War Crimes trials of October 18, 1945 were all about. One of the applicable charge that led to numerous hangings was, “Planning, initiating and waging wars of aggression and other crimes against peace.” The deliberate cover-up of evidence and destruction of Bin Laden’s remains shows the conspiracy of deceit and obstruction of justice deserving of a lot more than simpl...

Geneva, Switzerland —As I left Geneva Airport bound for Amsterdam during my recent trip I was screened for weapons. I cannot complain here be cause I have no right to claim under the Fourth Amendment outside of the United States. They searched me, and my carry-on bag allowing me to pass on to the boarding area. On my way I passed the duty free shops where all kinds of goods could be purchased. That included Victronix a Swiss Army Knife maker! I could now by a knife for my trip! When I arrived in Amsterdam things were very different. They gave us the full TSA punishment including the Naked X-Ray. I would have had to place my new Swiss Army knife in my checked baggage there for sure. That is unless I chose to outsmart or outshoot the unarmed security workers. As always the security is only as good as trained armed cops are allowed to make it. There was a shortage of them in Europe also. I thought you’d all get a kick out of the knife display at the Duty Free Shop anyway.

Washington, DC —Is Barac k Obama just stupid or something much more sinister? I say it’s the latter. I’ve always hated how Osama Bin Laden was singled out as the man behind the Sept 11 attack on America. This was an act of Muslim group think and was financed by others. Placing so much importance on Bin Laden made him a hero in the Muslim world. This also lessens the culpability of the rest of the terrorists responsible for the mass murder. The killing Bin Laden will only bring a false sense of feel good to a few incredibly ignorant people. The same terrorism will now continue without interruption. Bin Laden’s death can only fuel the holy war rather than even slow it down. Obama’s handling of this event and the burial at sea of Bin Laden was beyond suspect. The rush to make Bin Laden’s body unavailable for examination is in and of itself sinister. To not turn over Bin Laden’s body to his family for proper burial invites the same treatment for Americans killed under the control of our ...

Pittsburgh, PA —I was somewhat dumbfounded when I saw that Leftist firebrand, Rachel Maddow with a camera crew inside the NRA Gun Show here walking by the Eagle Grips booth. She was the last person I expected to see in such a Conservative lion’s den. Many of the attendees of the NRA convention were somewhat shocked to see Maddow, but they remained polite and civilized. I saw this as an opportunity for the members present to invite her participation in education, shooting and gun ownership. I have always enjoyed teaching my most Liberal friends about firearms, safety and tactics. Once they experience the defense side of firearms, years of misinformation, fear and loathing is replaced by a new understanding. The truth of the matter, like everyone else Maddow deserves the right of meaningful self-defense. The NRA is a logical place to obtain the best available training and advice on this subject anywhere. Surprisingly Maddow seems only favoring magazine size and extended background chec...

Pittsburgh, PA --I spent several days in the Steel City attending the National Rifle Association Annual Meeting and Gun Show. There were a lot of visitors and it seems the projected attendance of 70,000 may have materialized. The mood was mostly somber about the state of our nation. Most here believe our nation and its freedom is on the ropes. Barak Obama and his Czars continue to be the greatest firearm and ammunition marketing agents of our lifetimes. The fear of gun confiscation has been replaced with potential for civil war. Politicians have been denouncing freedom by continuing to push their Socialist agenda. I guess they don't realize millions of Americans are more than willing shed blood protecting our Constitution and the freedoms outlined in the Bill of Rights if needed. Extortionate taxation is enslaving working Americans that are now being victimized even more through skyrocketing gas prices that insures runaway inflation. The current energy crisis is the des...
