Remember Anthony Haynes’ agonizing death in the America’s Buffalo Soldiers Re-Enactors Association? Remember “Col” Charles Long? Well he was the first program owner held responsible in the death of a client in a boot camp program, who had to actually serve some jail time. He is now out after serving 5 years. He is still claiming he is NOT responsible for Anthony’s death. And he will continue his running his program, only treating adults instead. “Adults” probably refers to people between 18 and 25 years old, an age group that is still somewhat vulnerable to being held against their will and mistreated. It should be interesting to see what arises from Chuck Long, especially now that he’s done some time behind bars. We will be keeping an eye on this guy for sure!
