So you mean to tell me things are at least as fucked up as I thought !?!? Thanks for the link.  I can't watch no videos on my monitor 'cause I only got this ol' hand-me down machine.  Its weird to read.  I mean I get the strangest validation.  Seein' those ol' pictures on that other thread and links like this one make my neck hairs stand up.  As if I were looking across the field at a mighty army of darkness arrayed for battle and realisticly imagining my death.  The darkness must be embraced.  Our enemies are clever and ruthless, but they do not have courage...  

Strength and honor...

If you would have justice in this world, then begin to see that a human being is not a means to some end.  People are not commodities.  When human beings are just to one another government becomes obsolete and real freedom is born; SPIRITUAL ANARCHY.

This is important, is Mel still involved with Straight in this video? Acc. to other news articles he left Straight VA late summer or early fall 1987. That video is November, was he in another position? I hope someone can post this answer -- I can't get the video.

I hope so too. Whoever does should upload it to youtube or something.

Why can't I remember him? Did he not come into group? As I never saw the front of the building once, except for 3 minutes before the intake room. Wasn't Kelaher or w/e director in 86? Sorry, I made a point to refuse to memorized the chain of command. So it's tough for me to remember who did what jobs.

My guess would be that they did the interview around the time he split the scene, then aired it afterward.
