Battle for Chewelah 1987

Saturday morning in march of 1987, a Sniper started shooting followed by a riot of Students of the local High school and the day ended with a Hostage standoff at the libary and here is the video of that day. I was first on scene for the sniper then KREM, KXLY showed up for the Riot and KHQ was last to show up for the Hostage standoff, my guess they were out drinking the night before, the reporter was Wayne Haverly of KIRO TV.

Wow this is going back.

I even noticed former Chewelah Chief of police Murphy wobbling along towards the end of the video, he had to be the inspiration behind Chief Clancy Wiggum in the Simpsons cartoon, the similarities are uncanny. LOL

Chewelah Rocks!

I remember getting encircled by those guardsmen. There was no way of getting out from in-between them when they marched me off.

Did they send you to Gitmo?

Still here. Luckily Mr 'bama is gonna get me out.
