Old Friend, Ryan Anderson, Arrest for Treason!

I had class again being a gimp. At least I was able to park closer. But it still seemed like it took forever to get to class. I got together with my group-mate. We discussed options for our project. Sounds like we will deal with network security. After class I headed back to Colfax.

I finished out the day working until past six o'clock pm. I went to the fire station at about seven pm. The Fire Commissioners were having a meeting. I sat in on it to see what they do. After the meeting Ken, Jug, and I watched the Gonzaga basketball game for a while.

I then headed home and watched CSI. After CSI I was flipping through the channels and I saw that a Ft. Lewis Soldier was arrested for treason. They flashed a picture and a name. Low and behold it was Ryan Anderson, a guy who I was friends with back at WSU. I was really surprised to learn that he had become Muslim about five years ago.

We use to hang out and talk about gun and the military. We went to see David Irving together. He came in April of Ninety-Eight. He was there to talk about the holocaust. Ryan wore a German military uniform that he had. I had also given him a ride back to Seattle one time on my way back. To hear that he went Muslim is almost a three-sixty from the way he was when I knew him. He was pretty extreme when I knew him. I was just floored by the fact that he had been arrested. I stared in disbelief.
