‘40 Years a Prisoner’- Film about MOVE vs Philly Cops.

December 22, 2020 By Karl Leave a Comment

MOVE

How well I remember the days leading up to what seemed like just another incident of conservative urban police officials not understanding evolving radical beliefs and ideologies of the time. I'd just finished grad school in West Philadelphia, but still got  MOVE  updates from friends I'd visited in the Powelton Village area in the 1970s. MOVE MOVE  isn't an acronym. It's just the name of a Panther-esque revolutionary group that was anti-govt, anti-corp, and anti-tech. Called 'emselves … [Read more...]

Guess what special MO let a serial killer murder 93?

September 7, 2020 By Karl 1 Comment

A special MO. Sam Little

America's deadliest serial killer, Samuel Little, left a trail of 93 —maybe more— bodies...because of his special MO. I've written several blogs about serial killers, and my blog here is useful if you need some basics about this kind of multicide. It's not the same as mass murder or spree killings, for example. A special MO. How'd Little manage to get away with so many murders? He was smart, kept on the move, and used a method of operation (MO) that was difficult to investigate. Police use a … [Read more...]

White Privilege and BLM (Black Lives Matter) – explained.

July 11, 2020 By Karl Leave a Comment

White privilege and BLM collided a couple of days ago. President Donald Trump's home and signature building, Trump Tower, got tagged. None other than Democrat Mayor of New York City, Bill deBlasio (tall guy in blue shirt below), helped paint Black Lives Matter on the street in front of Trump's home. Republicans thought the tag job was bush league, but Democrats felt it wonderful that what started in Washington, D.C. a while back had made it to Trump's … [Read more...]

Unusual and Usual discrimination in America – George Floyd’s death.

My blogs and this website concern themselves in large part with unusual types of discrimination. So I write about the discrimnation in favor of wealthy, smart, or talented people. For example, the criminal justice system is biased towards many celebrities. They essentially get away with murder, as I explain in my forthcoming book, Privileged Killers. But recent weeks have shown me that we must deal with the usual kinds of discrimination in the U.S.  And it's not just the underprivileged … [Read more...]

True Crime — do these reasons explain why you love it?

August 10, 2019 By Karl 5 Comments

True crime movies with Jake, Amy, Tba, and Faye.

Some have called my book-in-progress a true crime memoir. Its working title is Privileged Killers​...and a criminologis​t​ mugg​e​d by reality.  It's tagline — ​​            When friends kill and loved ones betray him, a progressive criminologist must ditch his idealism or lose his wife and even his life.   True Crime rules...these days. Whether seen as a pure true crime story, or a hybrid true crime memoir, my book's alerted me to the huge appetite we have these days for true … [Read more...]

Smollett case: enough twists that this timeline necessary.

April 14, 2019 By Karl 3 Comments

smollett

Smollett celeb justice case has enough twists  that we need a timeline. Here's the latest. The Senior DA in Chicago dropped all charges allegedly at the behest of   Michelle Obama via her former chief of staff. Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a former Obama  insider, and the Chief of the  Chicago Police Department (CPD) were outraged and rightly so. No justice here and a total waste of $130,000 in CPD resources investigating what might've been a hoax. But just today, Inspector General Patrick Blanchard … [Read more...]

CRIME INVESTIGATION Tutorial— How the FBI does it.

November 10, 2018 By Karl 5 Comments

Candles at memorial vigil. Why a Crime investigation is needed into Borderline Bar shooting.

Regrettably, a high profile FBI crime investigation seems to be opened on a regular basis these days. Mass killings like the recent one at a synagogue  in Pittsburg are part of the reason. Counting the Thousand Oaks bar shooting this week, there have been 307 mass shootings so far in 2018. That's almost one a day in the U.S. according to the Gun Violence Archive.**   Crime Investigation and the FBI. So, the FBI is heck-a-busy doing crime investigation and other things  on top of … [Read more...]

Clarice

Thoughts about “Clarice,” spinoff from “The Silence of the Lambs.”

I managed to catch the  2nd episode of the "Clarice" series recently. It channeled the Waco cult situation, also known as  the Waco, Texas massacre.  That was the controversial law enforcement siege of a compound that belonged to the Branch Davidian religious cult. In the 2nd  episode,  Clarice … [Read More...]

Serial Killer Trading Cards

Popular Culture and True Crime – Tutorial I – Serial Killer trading cards?

About the same time that Michael Aamodt, a professor at Radford University in Virginia, started cataloguing serial killers, trading cards popped up. Aamodt's Serial Killer Data Base, compiled with the help of students, is academic, respectable. See here for a prior blog re Aamodt's Radford … [Read More...]
