Haven't read the whole thing. Where were you?


I was in Granada.


I toured thru' on my motor bike thinking I'd gt some digi pics. After
about 5 , I couldn't take anymore.

At the Nothridge apartment collapse,,,,,,,,, i stood there and if i
could have cried, I would have,


I got into a punch up with some redneck ****wit who wnted his 'misus' to
take footage of him with the apartment block behind him,,,,,,,,,,,,
saying "Hey, Cool!! 14 people died here, right behind me".

I beat the **** out of him and trashed his camera,

The National Guard guys stood back asnd watched.

They came up afterwards and thanked me.
