Who knows (outside of the forums here) the validity of the member-in-questions eye witness account (I realize the Irony of posting this myself... ), and if it were any other member here, I would still question the validity of the information and research it further before publishing it anywhere public and official... I would even go as far as contacting the individual and requesting permission.
(This is my way of saying; DON'T QUOTE ME ON THIS!)
I've been bit in the arse by the Toronto Star for reprinting my words in their news paper awhile back. Nothing like having the police pay a visit to me on the job with suddle hints of obstruction charges.
We're in the time now where wether or not the information is correct is not the issue to news outlets, but who prints it first. I guess everyone here who's opinion is educated just has to stay on their guard.
