03/17/2008: "Eco-Terrorism On Orcas" ”I did it to punish the rich white people of Orcas Island and make them pay for the death of the whales and the depletion of the rain forests” -Mondragon

Gabriel Thomas Mondragon, 29 years old, who recently arrived from New Mexico, explained to Sheriff’s Deputies that in an attempt to make the people on Orcas “suffer just like the whales and trees”, he attempted to use a tree limbing saw -on a metal pole- to cut through a 69,000 volt power line.

[caveat emptor]

...Being well informed on the power of high voltage power lines, Mondragon cleverly put on several pair of latex dishwashing gloves to isolate him from electrocution, and proceeded to touch saw to power line.

Definitely high on the list for the Darwin awards this year.

He survived, albeit with his clothes on fire. We have no way of knowing if he’s already reproduced.

If he hasn’t- he may find a way to do something lethally stupid in the future, thus establishing eligibility.

[MarkT]

How long will it be for this genius to have his lawyer sue the utility for allowing him to be able to break in to destroy the facility and get hurt in the process?

[Aussiebabe]

Although, the story did say he suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns below his waist to unknown parts! LOL

"I did it to punish the rich white people of Orcas Island and make them pay for the death of the whales and the depletion of the rain forests” -

Anyone see any mention of a hate crime anwywhere in there? Didn't think so.

I spent a summer in the ‘80s ferrying between Orcas and Friday Harbor. Spectacular place, the San Juans. I hope they don’t become Moonbat Central.

Truly, this article/post is such a “gem”, it needs a better teaser in the post header. How about something like “Enviro-nut meets Darwin?”... Seriously, I almost didn’t read it and it’s the funniest thing I’ve read this morning so far.

[tgusa]

Honorable Mention, anyway ...

Jack be nimble
Jack be quick
Jack burned off his *********

Being well informed on the power of high voltage power lines, Mondragon cleverly put on several pair of latex dishwashing gloves to isolate him from electrocution, and proceeded to touch saw to power line.

Mondragon was found laying on his back some distance from the line, his pants had been on fire, where they had burned away from his hips down. His gloves had partially melted, and he had “first, second and third degree burns’ on various parts of his body.

Priceless!

[humblegunner]

he wanted to protest “the death of Luna the whale"

Yeah, I wake up in tears about Luna the whale just about every day.

[Brilliant]

Since he did not die, he cannot get the Darwin Award.

But they should give him the electric chair, and if they do, I would be willing to put him on the list.

[E.Allen]

He can get the Darwin award if he’s eliminated his ability to reproduce!

[FreedomPoster]

>>Since he did not die, he cannot get the Darwin Award.

BZZZZT! Sorry, thanks for playing.

He is eligible if the event creates a situation such that he cannot reproduce. We need a medical update to fully determine the situation here. It seems quite likely this might be the rare, but not unheard of, case of a non-fatal Darwinian event.

There was a case a few years ago where a guy didn’t have a fuse for some aspect of his truck, and used a .22 round as a field expedient fix. Said round heated due to its resistance in the circuit, went off, and hit him in the privates, taking out one rock. Nearly a non-fatal Darwinian event, but not quite, thanks to the redundancy built in to that particular bodily system

Weenie roast.

[Jonah Hex]

Police are still discussing whether to charge him with AC or DC...

[shove_it]

Attaboy Mondragon - next time stand in a water puddle.

[Hacklehead]

Here’s how you end this BS. Terrorists caught in the act should be tortured to give up the names of their comrades. Once this information is obtained the terrorist is summarily executed in public by a shot to the head. His accomplises are then rounded up for trial.

[SECURE AMERICA]

WOW someone to give Al Gore competition for the Next Nobel Prize.
I read one post that there is no knowledge as to this person having already reproduced.
Lets hope not. The morons already far outweigh the rest of us.....

[Malsua]

This racist, eco-terrorist gets his comeuppance due to his complete stupidity. It just goes to show, he really is a clueless feeb.

[arthurus]

Chances are he is also white.

[MortMan]

I kind of favor “Enviro-Nut Waves to Darwin”.

[vox_freedom]

priceless.

[sionnsar]

Say WA? Evergreen State ping

FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this ping list.

Ping sionnsar if you see a Washington state related thread.

[bigfootbob]

Too late. It’s full of trustafarians.

[CaspersGh0sts]

“Chances are he is also white.”

Very unlikely. Both Gabriel and Mondragon are Spanish names. Thomas is typically spelled Tomas in Spanish, but it’s not exactly an atypical variation.

[Vicki]

We sure seem to attract them.

bttt

[mongrell]

Well this fanatic obviously had at least one accomplice. One or more of his pals had to drive him to the substation, and obviously drove off and left him when he was doing his melt down routine... One would think they should be eligible for some criminal charges as well.
Too bad the lineman who found him didn’t plug him back in for a bit and finish the job.
