Immediate Lessons From The LAX Attack By a Lone Suicidal Maniac

Los Angeles, CA—We are quickly learning about suicidal gunman Paul Anthony Ciancia, 23 who shot up Terminal 3 at LAX Airport.

Ciancia had one of those ugly black guns outlawed in his home jurisdiction of Pennsville, New Jersey and within the not so golden state of California.

We will learn about Ciancia's frail mental health and how he broke various gun bans and restrictions already in place.  Again we learn that gun laws are only obeyed by the law abiding who are left defenseless and at the mercy of armed thugs.

Ciancia’s parents put out a frantic call to police after the troubled lad sent disturbing suicidal texts to his brother.

Assuming he survives his UCLA Hospital stay we will learn a lot more about Ciancia’s psychiatric failure in some courtroom.

Ciancia suddenly taught us that our airports are still soft targets and that determined thugs can easily defeat the Security Theater Gauntlet posed by the TSA.   Imagine what three armed terrorists could have done after they breached the TSA barriers within seconds like Ciancia?

Let me also say that terrorists could even more simply gain access to any airport tarmac quickly and virtually unnoticed to do mayhem to any jet filled with passengers.

We must remember that our jets are not made of bullet or bomb resistant material but soft and light aircraft aluminum.  A small truck bomb could kill hundreds on one of our normally filled to capacity planes.

The TSA does little but destroy the employability and lives of people that absent-mindedly leave lawfully owned firearms in their suitcases.

When it’s suggested that forgetfulness is no excuse we seem to forget our own female family members.  Every day they forget and leave expensive lotions and beauty potions in their carryon’s only to see them confiscated by TSA workers.

The TSA practice of disarming pilots, off duty or retired cops and military members only makes our soft airport targets even more vulnerable.

Overall the TSA is one of the more worthless jobs program ever created.  Putting the hard corps unemployed into police style costumes has done nothing to make anyone safe.

The real less here is we will only get more of the same because our brain-dead politicians will never understand nor accept reality.

Anti-Gunrights Thought Police are in Our Schools

Let's purge these bastards from public payrolls!

Today’s LAX Gun Free Zone Shooting

Los Angeles, CA—This morning, Pennsville, New Jersey native Paul Anthony Ciancia, 23 was apparently a ticketed passenger.  His parents as described him as being suicidal.  Allegedly Ciancia removed a carbine and stormed the TSA checkpoint easily breaching it entering the passenger terminal area.  LAX police officers responded to this engaging and critically wounded the lone gunman.

As many as seven were injured and one TSA worker was killed.  Ciancia is believed to be under FBI guard in critical condition after surgery at the UCLA Reagan Medical Center.

The media is erroneously referring to the TSA workers as “law enforcement officers”.  They are not and law enforcement officers nor can they enforce any laws.  They are not vetted, trained or qualified to do more than report what they see to the real police. 

Media morons have been rambling on calling TSA workers “brave men and women” sending me looking for a big barf bag!  The TSA is nothing more than actors in the security theater jobs program.

If anything this shows the ineffectiveness of the TSA security program.  The local cops had to respond and deal with Ciancia’s assault.

Imagine if a few as six terrorists breached the TSA gauntlet.  They would have easily neutralized armed cops as they gained access to any planes connected to jetways.

The real protection really rests with trained and armed pilots that make a tiny percentage of flight crews. 

This incident was so over policed that it cost airlines and taxpayers millions in disruptions. Passengers missed weddings, funerals pre-paid vacations and business meetings.

They forced hundreds of thirsty and hungry stranded passengers to the street.  How difficult would it have been to obtain and distribute water to these victimized passengers? 

Traveling by commercial airlines has become an expensive and necessary evil rather than an enjoyable experience.  TSA and airline workers visualize themselves as prison guards as they abuse passengers under color of law.

I can’t wait to hear the TSA workers whining for their own gun rights as they deprive everyone else.  Bureaucrats will try to dream up more way to abuse passengers in the name of security.

Airports are like any other Gun Free Zone inviting violence with inexcusable vulnerability.

The Official Crimefile Review of THE BOOK THIEF

Geoffrey Rush and Sophie Nélisse shot with my iPhone

Los Angeles, CA—I made sure I was in town to catch this film screening at the Daryl Zanuck Theater on the Fox Film Studio Lot.  What a treat it was!

The Book Thief is a film adapted from the Markus Zusak book by the same name.  It’s a story about life in Germany during that dark period of 1933-1945. 

It’s a joint offering from Fox 2000 Pictures, Studio Babelsberg of Berlin.

It’s about a young and illiterate girl, Liesel Meminger played by Sophie Nélisse.  Liesel gets taken by Nazi social services from her mother and sent to an older couple for adoption.  Liesel has to adapt to a new and somewhat frightening wartime life in different surroundings. 

Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson play her new parents who are struggling to make ends meet during wartime.  They seem mismatched but Rush's character cuts the ice as he turns on the charm. 

The story surrounds Liesel’s thirst for literacy and a new sometimes larcenous love for books.  Books were very expensive back then and they were yesterday’s version today's laptop computer.  

The police state was no picnic for German citizens who had a real and genuine fear of their government.  Liesel's new parents have a little intrigue of their own in their home  

This film is both a real thriller and tear-jerker.  First time feature film director, Brian Percival, masterfully directed this film.  All of the actors are wonderful. 

I don’t want to give too much information and spoil the film.  You will love it along with the  John Williams musical score.  The costumes and props were perfect.

It’s one of the best films I’ve ever seen. It’s a breakout vehicle for young Sophie Nélisse who is sure to win an Oscar Nomination for her terrific acting. 

I was thrilled to meet and chat with Rush, Nélisse and Percival about this exciting film that will be in you local theaters in early November. 

Cop Facing Felony Charges For Shoving DUI Suspect Caught on Tape.

Cassandra Feuerstein

Skokie, IL—The Cook County State’s Attorney announced that felony charges were brought in a criminal complaint against 19-year veteran Skokie police officer Michael Hart, 43. 

Last March, another officer of the Skokie Police Department arrested Cassandra Feuerstein, 47 for DUI. She was brought into the station where Feuerstein was subjected to the routine booking process that includes fingerprinting and photographing.  

Officer Hart was assisting in that effort but apparently the woman became uncooperative and resisted the process. 

At some point Feuerstein refused to be photographed and as she was being returned to a holding cell she fought that effort with both hands to prevent that from happening. 

There is video with a view inside the cell but none to show what happened outside the cell door.

Officer Hart is seen giving Feuerstein a hearty shove into the cell when the unthinkable happened.  The woman went face first into the sharp edge of a concrete bench suffering some regrettably nasty injuries. 

Feuerstein has had to since undergo reconstructive facial surgery.  She’s also suffered vision and dental problems as a result of this event.

What this excessive force?  Did Feuerstein bring this upon herself by physically resisting Hart’s command and being placed in the cell?  Did officer Hart have malicious intent?

I can’t help but pity Feuerstein in that her resistance did not justify the injuries.  On the other hand I’m convinced that officer Hart never intended to inflict any injury whatsoever.  He was simply trying to get her back into the cell.

I fault the design of the cell itself having a bench with sharp concrete edges.   The facility architect and designers apparently did not take into account the fact that violence often takes place in such holding cells because drunks and mentally deranged people are the most likely to inhabit them.

The risk is equal to police officers when they must restrain or remove prisoners that resist them. 

As for Feuerstein she was apparently drunk since she entered a plea agreement and paid a fine for the DUI.

The shove itself doesn’t bother me because I’ve shoved my share of angry or drunken arrestees.  I’ve never seen such an outcome result like that, ever.

I consider this an accident, nothing more.  Was this a crime?  I just don’t see that being the case.

Hart knew full well the cameras were watching and he obviously knew his every move was recorded.  That makes a pretty solid case that he'd not intentionally injure the woman. 

This is a matter that belongs in the civil courts.  I’m horrified that a man’s career, retirement pension and liberty is jeopardized over this incident.

Officer hart is in need of a good lawyer and defense investigator.  This case needs to be tried in court rather than by the gossip of police haters.

Hart has been charged with Aggravated Battery and Official Misconduct.  Cook County Circuit Court Judge Israel Desierto has ordered that Hart held on a $75,000 bond.  It’s unknown if Hart has yet retained a defense attorney. 

I don’t know anything about Feuerstein’s background but I can’t help but feel the horror of the outcome of the officer’s shove. 

I’m not however convinced that officer Hart could have ever envisioned the injuries resulting from that shove. 

Hart is expected to appear in court on November 20, 2013 to face these charges.

Military Tactics and Rules of Engagement are Now Civilian Police Procedure

Chicago, IL—I can remember the days when the Chicago Police Department rejected the idea of SWAT teams as a horrible idea.   They did not want the public relations fallout from the SWAT concept.  They recoiled at the idea we would become urban commandos.

They did have so-called heavy weapons training but that only involved the Ithaca Model 37 .12 gauge shotgun, the .30 US M-1 Carbine and a few 308 hunting style scoped bolt action rifles.  These weapons were kept in wagons dubbed, The War Wagon and they were dispatched to difficult crime calls. 

Ballistic vests were yet unheard of and our issued batons were made of wood.  Our required duty weapon was a Colt or Smith & Wesson revolver chambered for a .357 or .38 special round.  We were issued 12 round of .38 special ammunition.  They were solid lead, round nose 158-grain bullets that bounced off most car windows.

Later they went to a hollow point all lead .38+P round that was somewhat better.  We were allowed a second firearm either semi-automatic or another Colt or Smith & Wesson revolver.  Many chose the Dirty Harry .44 magnum Model 29 or 1911 .45 semi-auto pistols.  Now they heavily restrict the types of secondary handguns allowed.

Today they operate something they call the Hostage and Barricade Unit.  It’s a SWAT team by another name.  They have adopted military methods and now they have all that commando equipment.

The militarization of police agencies is reminiscent of the darkest times of Germany 1933-1945.  They created the Brown Shirts (SA) and later the SS to do things most honorable military men would be ashamed to be involved with. 

At a rapid pace our police have been ignoring our Bill of Rights and advancing on Americans with military tactics and rules of engagement.  That is frightening for sure.

The response by Boston authorities to raid homes and remove families at gunpoint while they were looking for the marathon bombing suspects was incredibly un-American and wrong.  That was absolute TYRANNY!

The above photograph speaks for itself; police should not be pointing military style rifles at our faces absent a real threat or probable cause.  

I can’t help but believe that our own government has nasty plans for those of us that disagree with the administration’s Red politics.
