California wants You do outrun your attacker’s bullets!

California Assemblymember Rick Zbur must have taken a masterclass in legislative lunacy because his latest bill, AB 1333, is a masterpiece in stupidity. Zbur, a Democrat with an apparent soft spot for criminals, wants to narrow the standards for justifiable homicide—translation: make it harder for law-abiding citizens to defend themselves.

The bill, introduced in February, is his answer to stand-your-ground laws, which allow people to use deadly force when facing a serious threat. But Zbur thinks that’s just too much freedom for the peasants. His bill would declare homicide not justifiable if:

• You’re outside your home and could have run away instead of defending yourself. (Because clearly, criminals will wait politely while you flee.)

• You were engaged in mutual combat or “provoked” the attacker. (Which means what, exactly? Making eye contact? Wearing the wrong political hat?)

Zbur insists this is about stopping “vigilantism.” Apparently, in his warped view, fighting back against an armed attacker makes you the problem, not the criminal trying to harm you.

This bill is so idiotic that even California’s usual cast of soft-on-crime politicians should be embarrassed. Instead of helping victims, Zbur wants to make sure they have only two choices: get assaulted or get arrested.

Let’s hope AB 1333 meets a swift and well-deserved death—preferably in the legislative graveyard, right next to whatever common sense Zbur once had before he decided criminals deserve more rights than their victims.

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 ...

Tyranny, Government Corruption and Democide

Americans like to think they are exceptional. Yet most couldn’t tell you the first thing about how governments, like clockwork, repeat the same bloody cycles of tyranny and collapse. Everyone assumes the Nazis hold the crown for worst government in history. Sure, Hitler’s crew were sadistic thugs who industrialized murder. But “the worst”? Not even close. They just happened to do their killing during a time when cameras, film, and bureaucratic obsession with record-keeping made their atrocities impossible to hide. If Goebbels had been working with the technology of Genghis Khan, you’d barely have a postcard left to prove it. History is littered with tyrants who weren’t so kind as to leave photo albums of their mass murders. The Turks tried to erase the Armenians. Stalin starved Ukraine into submission during the Holodomor, then doubled down by purging his own people until the bodies stacked higher than Lenin’s promises. Mao made Stalin look like an amateur, turning his “Great Leap F...
