Ecoterrorists Busted
Here's some good news — the Gray Lady reports that the feds have been cracking down on the violent subspecies of moonbat known as ecoterrorists. Six kooks have been indicted on charges relating to arson attacks and sabotage in the Pacific Northwest.
The arrests target the groups Earth Liberation Front and Animal Liberation Front, which operate in independent cells just like their Islamic colleagues, and who have been setting fire to and bombing research facilities, timber operations, car dealerships, ski lifts, building projects, etc., in hopes of having civilization repealed.
"We have seen an escalation in violent rhetoric and tactics," said John Lewis, the FBI's director of counterterrorism. "Attacks are also growing in frequency and size."
When these sick freaks advocate violence, it should not be taken as harmless screwballs blowing off steam. To the extent they have embraced terrorism, they need to be treated like any other terrorists — that is to say, as harshly as possible.

Glad that authorities are having some success against these terrorist wackjobs. They aren't amateurs, need to be taken seriously.
BTW, VH: here's an interesting article at The Nashif Report that gets to the heart of their mentality, something the author calls "Evolutionary Humanism." A good resource.

Won't be any time soon that we'll see a TV drama based on eco-terroroism, just on bombing abortion clinics.
We all know that the only terrorists are religious fanatics, because doing a story on eco-terrorism would reveal that Leftism is religious belief after all.

"To the extent they have embraced terrorism, they need to be treated like any other terrorists ..."
Do you mean we need to put them up in a clean, smoke-free, tropical environment, feed them 3 meals a day (most likely vegan meals), give them breaks so they can worship Mother Earth, make sure we don't offend them in any way, and make sure they have the complete works of Marx for reading material?
I think maybe we should just jail their pansy-asses and let them fend for themselves with the likes of Bruno, Rocky, and Rex for cellmates. Let them spout their bed-wetting elitism inside the pen and see how far it gets them.

These guys are responsible for 35 of the 58 terrorist attacks inside the US since 9/11.
About 1,100 attacks since 1976, adding up to $108 million in damages.
They need to be taken more seriously. Until we can get a handle on homegrown terrorists like this, it's doubtful we can do much better against the foreign born kind.

Like my old friend Mr. Gorbachev used to say:
The impostor who posted right above this one is a joke. He's just a leftist tool and worships at the same altar as the eco-terrorists, which is, no individual liberty/responsibility, it's all about the state.

Torching and vandalizing are heinous crimes. What makes scientists and law enforcement break out in cold sweats is one of these eco-terrorist groups liberating some lab animals in a study who are infected with a contagious disease.
Can you imagine Ebola? The only morbidly good news from such a calamity would be the eco-terrorists would be the first victims but sadly not the last.
They need to be caught, tried, convicted, and tossed in prison before such happens.
