• Former DOJ Attorney Says Gov’t Is Making a Mistake Not Reading Boston Suspect His Miranda Rights — What You Need to Know

  April 20, 2013 at 11:47am

  In reply to skippy6.

  Did everyone up on that stage at the press conference look terrified and worried about more attacks and bombs coming in the next 2 to 72 hours? NOPE. That was not a press conference warning people about more “imminent danger” . . . that was a victory lap “take my picture so that I can use it when I run for election/reelection” gathering of “Mission Accomplished”. Damn – it’s like this Administration WANTS to mess up this otherwise slam dunk case by refusing to read him his Miranda Rights.

  I’ve said it before on several other articles . . . you had the federal, state, and local boys and a US Attorney all up on stage right after his capture congratulating each other on a job well done and saying “Mission Accomplished”. Really??? So, if the danger has been removed, and you are not aware of any other suspects or immediate danger to anyone in Boston, then there doesn’t appear to be any “imminent danger” that would allow you to skip reading him (a US Citizen) his Miranda Rights. If they would have stood on that stage and said: “We don’t know if this is over yet. We don’t know if there are other bombs out there. We don’t know if these two acted alone or were part of a larger cell. We don’t know if this capture may trigger more retaliations or bombing from other members of their cell.” If THAT would have been said – then you could make a strong case for “imminent danger.” As it stands now, if I’m that terrorist’s attorney, I go to the judge, play a copy of that press conference, and then explain to the Prosecutor and Judge that any statements made after his arrest are inadmissible – and, as the “fruit of the poisonous tree” – any evidence they obtain that leads to others being arrested must also be dismissed and the information was obtained illegally. This was a very stupid, stupid mistake. Eric Holder should have addressed this with everyone BEFORE the press conference to make it clear that there was still “imminent danger” – but he did

• Boston Bombing Suspect Is Not Being Read His Miranda Rights — Why and What Does That Mean?

  April 19, 2013 at 10:44pm

  So let me get this straight. I just watched a press conference where all the federal, state, local officials and the US Attorney for the area just announced that they have captured Suspect #2 and the threat is over . . . and that they are aware of no other suspects . . . . what a stupid, stupid, stupid press conference to hold if you are wanting to claim “immediate danger” and waiver of Miranda rights. If the guys spills more info and arrests others or reveals other cells . . . the attorney for those people will play that video conference and establish that, apparently, according to that press conference, there was clearly no “immediate danger” and the guy, a US citizen should have been read his Miranda rights. What a F*@k Up. I was screaming at the TV for someone to say “we think we have the only two suspects, but we don’t know that for sure and it is entirely possible that the capture of suspect #2 could trigger additional attacks . . . ” or something to that effect.

• The Demo Videos for a New Water-Repelling Substance Are Amazing

  Hey Blaze editors, you better watch their video – it takes two coats – a bottom and top coat to work. Cheapest you can get for a coating is to buy the quart size (bottom coating is $53, but the TOP coating is $96) for a grand total of . . . . $149.

  How many rounds to do you need? One more than is necessary to stop the threat. How many is that? I don’t know, but I don’t want to be on the wrong end of that number if/when the time comes – and no congress person should be allowed to artificially restrict that round number because they THINK they know the answer.

• Find Out Why There Were A LOT of Guns on the Set of Glenn Beck’s Show Tuesday

  January 23, 2013 at 12:13am

  Education of guns is the key. I grew up in rural America and have been around guns my whole life (I’m 40 now), but I have met so many people and new friends from urban/big city America who have never seen a gun in person, never held a gun, never shot a gun, don’t know how to hold a gun, don’t know how to load a gun, don’t know how to aim a gun, don’t know the first thing about gun safety . . . so, since they didn’t own a gun or know how to operate a gun, they felt guns weren’t necessary. So . . . I take them out to our local gun range, spend about the first 45 minutes with them just going over several different types of guns (a revolver, semi-auto pistol, and either a shotgun or AR – or both), how you check a gun to see if it is loaded, show them how they work, how you load them, how to hold it, where the safety is, where to put your trigger finger, how to aim, and how to unload and prepare the gun to be handed to another person. After about 2 hours, they are getting good a shooting and I have yet to find one person (male or female) that hasn’t totally changed their attitude about a firearm after the FEAR goes away.
  Several grown men (one a big Iowa kid and the other an Italian attorney from NYC) told me afterwards that just the presence of the guns raised their anxiety levels before I showed them how to safely handle and shoot a gun. Again, education is KEY.

  Why do I have a feeling that the follow-up questions that my physican will be asking me after “do you own a gun” will be . . . do you support: a) The Constitution, b) Freedom for all, c) a limited federal government, d) the Tea Party, e) do you watch Fox news, f) have you ever visited TheBlaze.com, g) do you respect the military, h) do you respect the Founding Fathers?

• Police: Man Shoots Administrator, Himself at Downtown St. Louis School

  January 15, 2013 at 4:56pm

  KC, Missouri has one of these shooting almost every other day. Chicago, on average, has almost two of these shooting every day. Detriot has one of these shootings every day. Heck, I bet St. Louis has one of these murders almost every other day. Why is it NOW a concern for the left? These murders have been going on in the Big cities for over a decade. NOW the media wants to cover them? I remember a situation in Kansas City, Kansas about 4 years ago where a guy set his trailer on fire, called the fire department and 9-1-1 and then started shooting first responders as they showed up. Did not see one mention of it on the national media back then. This stuff happens. Incidents like Sandy Hook are horrible but they’re the statistical aberration. The “norm” is a bunch of young adult criminals gang-banging one another — organized crime doing what organized crime does, settling disputes with flying lead instead of lawsuits and to hell with the collateral damage rained down on the law-abiding citizens.
