"Well my. my. my" I will find you"
The last Homicide Hunter Lt Joe Kenda was on last night.
I really enjoyed the series. There is a lot to the man that people don't know. Read his Bio. If he doesn't like guns, than so be it, I doubt I would if I had seen just one or two of his 387 cases.
Another short series was Deadly Recall with Det Pat Postiglione
Has a photographic memory and just tells it like it is. Watch it if you can.
Lt. Joe Kenda on Homicide Hunter’s end, how the show is produced, and what’s next – reality blurred

Deadly Recall - Season 1 - IMDb

There are several cops in our family. Some of the things they have seen make you wonder how one human could do that to another! One family member was a CSSU (same as CSI) another was a detective that got lots of child abuse cases (because she didn't have any kids). I believe they both had or have PTSD from some of their cases!
One had to view homemade "snuff" and "chicken" porn, and was so traumatized she did things to ease her own pain, that ended her life far too soon!
I commend all these hunters of evil! But what a price they pay!!!

PTSD is real, and not just for the military. Anybody who gets a heavy dose of blood and guts, whether it be military, law enforcement, fire, or EMT is gonna have dreams and other problems. Some can handle it, others not so much. I've got a few things that will bother me until I die but I've learned to handle them without any outside help, which wasn't/isn't available anyway.

Rule3,
Wikipedia is obvious but where do your other two links lead us? Nitflix? Amazon Prime?

Got to see more than my share of the bad stuff working as a PM for 12 years when in the fire dept. Two or three cases I still have a few dreams/remembrances of from time to time. They happened so many years ago but the clarity of what happened never goes away. But for the most part it was just part of the "job". One of the worst was losing one of my guys after a fire... One of the best was saving one when he had a heart attack....luckily right while we were talking. The saves keep you going. The ones you lose never go away....especially the kids

I have known Joe Kenda since we were both young patrolmen on the Colorado Springs Police Department in the early 1970's. Extremely intelligent man, also possessing (or possessed by) an incredibly dry and witty sense of humor.
Mid-1970's Joe was involved with Motorola's law enforcement division, making training films that were distributed nationally.
I moved on to an investigator job with a state agency while Joe continued up the CSPD ladder. For several years he was a sergeant on uniformed patrol. For a few years he was the public information officer, the guy making public statements and doing press releases. Always wicked smart, funny as hell when he wanted to be, very well liked and respected.
I remember Joe bringing his S&W Model 39 over to my house to have a front sight insert installed (I did a lot of those, back in the day). I think I made a holster for him years ago, when I was still pounding hides part-time as a young cop.
I am genuinely happy to see that he has continued to do very well in life.

I like real crime shows.....
...and it's interesting to me how many cases are solved with old-fashioned, hard and grueling POLICE WORK. Without it, even cases with strong forensic evidence would come to nothing.

Do you think he's anti-gun? I got that impression from the show in a couple episodes.

He probably just doesn't want every day citizens to own guns. When seconds count, the police are just minutes away.........

My wife does a lot of child welfare law. Sometimes I don't want "everyday citizens" to be allowed to have children.
I think it should be at least as hard to have children as own a gun.

Feel free to Google all the interviews with him and you can get his opinion direct.

I have no recollection of ever discussing firearms laws or policies with Joe Kenda.

I don't know a thing about Kenda, nor have I ever watched his show...so I'm not commenting about either. That said, I have to agree with Texas Star. I myself will not associate with anyone or do business with anyone who disses guns, gun ownership by Citizens, or the 2nd Amendment. Yeah, I take it personally. If you are anti-gun, you are against me. I don't go around trying to force my pro-gun opinion on others...so to the antis I say "keep it to yourself." Sorry, that's just the way it is.

Well.. for the most part I have to agree with him on this statement.
"We're not paying attention to marriage, to the divorce rate, to the absence of training on how to be a parent. We're not doing any of those things. And then we sit in shock that these things have happened."
"In today's world, right now, no one wants to take responsibility for anything. I'm a survivor or I'm a victim. No, you're not either of those things, you are responsible for your behavior and for those around you. Wanna know who's responsible for this? Go look in the mirror."
Although I am not a bad citizen I have not been perfect in all these regards.
The point about teaching people to be parents is spot on. Unbelievable how many people with kids haven't got a clue or believe that teaching morals and behavior is the schools job. Kids just growing up, both parents working and neither spending any meaningful time with the kids or setting decent examples. How many of the little monsters that are running loose are the result of such "parents"

But yet you comment without even knowing?
No one asked for you or TS to associate with Kenda. He probably will not do so with you.It's about the TV show and his remarkable closure rate and what he has seen and done.
The TV show as a show. He actually did not play the part so what is portrayed on the show or any show is not really him now is it?.
Why not Tweet him and find out all about him?
So I am guessing you don't go to lot of movies, sports events, stores or restaurants, as there lots of anti gunners there.?

I don't see where he was even pointing the finger at Mr Kenda. I don't care to have to deal with people who have an outlook very much counter to mine either...which it looked as though that is what he was addressing. I still won't watch a movie or a show with Jane Fonda in it...and in fact I find it hard to even mention her name. I too am a strong 2nd Amendment supporter and it looks as though according to Mr Kenda's comments he isn't in agreement with me. But he does say that most of the problem is people and their actions. It's never an inanimate object's fault for how it is used. Gun control truly does not work. Lets be honest...if it weren't for people we would have no crime. Am I saying I do no wrong??? Of course not... But I do take responsibility for my actions. Gun control advocates want US to take responsibility for a criminal's actions... Really makes sense.

Reread my first sentence. I was commenting on Texas Stars "Yes it does matter" statement. TS said a lot...and I agree. Like I already said...I don't know Kenda, or his show and I am really not interested in that sort of thing. I like Dirty Harry films and The Three Stooges.

I have always like Joe kinda and have a tremendous respect and admiration for him. If I was guilt of murder I would hope he would not be on my case. If so I'd just go ahead and turn myself in. Save everyone a lot of trouble.

I've seen too much that I wouldn't share with anyone who isn't LEO. I can deal with it. I do have one image of a child chained to a tree which will never be erased (fortunately she lived.)

Or "I'll never pay to see a movie (or buy a CD or buy products endorsed by...) with so-and-so in it because he (she) is one of those Hollywood (or New York or Washington Swamp) liberals who want to take our guns away."  Doesn't matter if it's true or not...it's on the Internet.

Then can then obsess about:
The show was not filmed in Colorado
There never seems to be any snow
No one ever wears heavy winter clothing
All the background vehicles and establishments were not time period correct
I believe he carried a Kimber 1911, but several scenes have them all with SW M 59 series. Not sure if that is correct.
