STAGE IS SET FOR RIOTS – DEJA VU MIAMI 1980

By on April 10, 2012 in Criminal Justice, Politics & Government, Social Issues

 

In May of 1980, five Miami-Dade police officers were acquitted of murdering an unarmed black motorcyclist. Miami went up in flames for three days. The black community, in particular, suffered mega-millions in property damage, while 18 innocent people were murdered, (and hundreds injured) most of them for no other reason than because they were white. Some were dragged from their cars and mutilated before being pounded to death. One had his tongue cut out.

Detectives called in to Liberty City to investigate those murders needed a squad of armed guards, rapidly shuffling bodies to the morgue before any crime scene investigation could be initiated.

Police headquarters was under siege. Private cars, some owned by police officers, were rolled over and burned. It was many hours and a thousand cops later, into the wee hours of the early morning of May 18th before some degree of order was restored. Black people of Liberty City wept over losing their businesses and homes. White people crowded emergency rooms waiting to hear if their loved one was going to live or die. The morgue trays were full of people who did nothing wrong but try to get home from work using their …

ZIMMERMAN, TRAYVON MARTIN AND THE MEDIA

By on April 4, 2012 in Criminal Justice, Politics & Government

 

Shortly after the Trayvon Martin killing became viral over every news station in America, Shepard Smith of Fox News was screaming into the camera: “He shot and killed this unarmed little boy!”

He was one of many journalists getting their jollies watching America pucker at the threat of an angry black populace. Photographs were plastered all over news channels showing Martin as a 13 year-old child and George Zimmerman, the alleged shooter, as a scruffy ruffian, supposedly 250 pounds. None of this was true, but the irresponsible media will never be held to account for their unprofessional conduct.

MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX, and every major newspaper in America has been stoking the flames of racial hatred by playing this up as a racist killing, inciting the likes of the most racist of all, Al Sharpton, and his sheep to pump fists in every street in America, successfully calling for the removal of a professional police chief who has done more for his country in one day, than Al Sharpton has done in his lifetime.

That little boy was 6’3″ and a tough kid from the hood. That shooter was about 5’9″ and out of shape.

People are stoked …

SANFORD SHOOTING: OUTRAGED OVER OUTRAGE

By on March 26, 2012 in Criminal Justice, Social Issues

 

     Frankly Speaking, I’m outraged over all the outrage from the sheep who follow the organizers of hate all over this country. Protesters, and the mainstream media, should step back and see where this is leading to. It’s won’t be pretty.  What’s happening is not so much a demand for justice, but a rabid search for vengeance.

     If the investigation reveals that 17 year-old Trayvon Martin was unjustly killed, and George Zimmerman committed an act of murder, he should absoultely be charged and tried. America’s legal system cites innocence before proven guilty, so that trials are held in a courtroom and not the city streets.

     This unwarranted national attention brought upon this case will alter the pursuit for justice. Any charges that are filed against Zimmerman will now render him the best dream team, pro bono, since Casey Anthony and O.J. Simpson, and we all know those results. The best of lawyers will spend whatever it takes to defend him. No public defender for this guy.

     If and when Zimmerman is tried and then acquitted, with the flames of hatred stoked to the limits by the likes of Al Sharpton, expect riots in the streets of America. …

WHY JUSTICE KAGAN MUST RECUSE FROM OBAMACARE

By on March 25, 2012 in Criminal Justice, Politics & Government

 Talk about legal prejudice. Talk about audacity.

Supreme Court Justice Kagan is about to hear arguments and rule on the legalities in one of the most controversial cases in history: Obamacare. Never mind that she has long history of being a loyal subject of Barack Obama. A long time friend from the Harvard law school, she was an Obama appointee to the position of Solicitor General of the U.S. in 2009, whose job it was to argue cases representing Obama to the Supreme Court. She was one of the president’s cheerleaders for the passage of Obamacare. She is unequivocally in the Obama camp. This justice will not, and probably cannot, approach the case with any modicum of objectivity. She owes her butt to the president.

Justice Kagan may be a brilliant legal mind, but that’s a separate issue from integrity.

Title 28, Section 455 of the United States Judicial Code provides that a federal judge:

“shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his/her impartiality might reasonably be questioned.” The same section also provides, “where he has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party, or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts concerning the proceeding; when the judge has …

THE KILLING OF DEPUTY BARBARA PILL

By on March 24, 2012 in Criminal Justice

Brevard County Deputy Sheriff, Barbara Pill, 52, was shot and killed on a residential street in Melbourne, by a petty thief on March 6th, 2012. News covereage went national. Funeral services were somber and well attended.

The suspect was being chased in a vehicle because he and his girl friend were stealing cheap furniture from a local motel. The suspect crashed the car but came out shooting. Pill’s back-up was not yet on the scene when she was stunned by bullets striking her vest. As she lay on the ground, the killer shot her in the head.

     Deputy Pill was the 21st on-duty police officer killed in 2012 in America. That same day, another female officer in Indiana was killed in a vehicular assault.

     If the standard trends continue, another 150 police officers will be killed before the end of 2012.

     Stalin once said that, “One death is a tragedy, one thousand deaths is a statistic.” With numbers, we lose sight of the human aspect and how if affects everyone.

     Barbara Pill is more than a statistic. She was a compassionate human being, a shining star within her community, a mother, a wife and a devotee

ANOTHER SIDE OF WHITNEY HOUSTON

By on February 19, 2012 in Criminal Justice, General, Social Issues

     Pardon my insensitivity.

     Whitney Houston was a great singing talent, indeed. That was a gift of nature.

     She was also a criminal. There are over a million people in our jail and prisons today, and another two million on probation for doing exactly what she did for the better part of fifteen years; buying, possessing and using illegal drugs. But she got away with it and continued reap admiration long the way.

     The sports and entertainment world, and the media in general, should stop lionizing dead idols who spent a good part of their lives using recreational (and illegal) drugs. The subliminal messages they send to impressionable young people by the millions is not only powerful, it is  infinitely damaging, and with long term consequences.

     While we know that hundreds of idols are unapologetic users of illegal marijuana, thousands more have made no secret of using heroin, cocaine and meth for recreation, which is not only illegal, they are highly addictive and destructive. When they die, mass funerals are held, long-winded eulogies of praise are heard and not a word is spoken about the horrid addiction they suffered by making stupid choices, choices that no …

TEXAS JUDGE BEATS DAUGHTER – VIDEO GOES VIRAL

By on November 3, 2011 in Criminal Justice, General, Social Issues

One never knows what’s going on behind closed doors.

People of all backgrounds, races, nationalities and education may often have character flaws which are aptly concealed in the public arena but stealthily emerge in the inner sanctum of privacy.

It was nearly seven years ago that Hillary Adams, then 16, felt that her life had been made miserable by constant and repeated abuses by her father, also sanctioned by her mother, that she had to do something. The next time she knew she was about to be beaten, she set her web cam in place and let it roll. Sure enough, Dad came through and used a leather belt the beat the crap out of her, with dear Mom standing by to egg him on.

That happened in 2004. It was not until recently, declaring that her father — a lawyer and sitting judge — needed help, that she posted the video to the net. It has since gone viral, and Judge Adams is suspended from the bench until the District Attorney can decide what to do.

Hillary’s crime, in this incident, is that she downloaded music on her computer she was forbidden to download. Hilary has a mild form …
