A group that uses the Internet to spread its message of using arson and sabotage to save the Earth and hails Unabomber Ted Kaczynski as one of its heroes is terrorizing Michigan.

Or at least it says it is.

The calling card ELF was left in spray-painted letters at the scenes of two arsons that destroyed four luxury homes under construction, including a pair of homes in Macomb County's Washington Township on Tuesday.

The Web site touts past targets and includes directions on how to build a time bomb so clear a grade-schooler could probably build one.

The directions would have to be THAT clear so these mental midgets could even try to manage a bomb! What a group of pathetic, moronic, ignorant, LOSERS! Their parents were probably RDDB's, to quote Dr. Savage (aka Red Diaper Doper Babies).

Note to Craig Rosebraugh and ELF:

There are intelligent ways to get your message out. Only morons resort to violent acts to 'send a message' (look at the arab terrorists). Grow up.

One more thing, people in my neck of the woods will defend themselves and their property.

"These properties aren't sold, security is lacking and they are open to everyone," Egbert said. "People can walk in and case the houses."

The association has posted a $15,000 reward. . .

Why is security lacking? The builders need to hire riflemen who are well qualified to deal with targets at night. Many states allow for use of lethal force in dealing with arsonists. Spend the $15,000 on worthwhile security.

I wonder what the law would say about using tracers on arsonists? It sure would be tragic if their bucket of fuel/oil mix were to catch fire while they were carrying it...

The picture says it all....a bunch of total rejects who are using terrorist acts as an attempt to instill fear. Out in the open, they're still losers.

10-4. Sounds like perfect justice to me. These arsonists - all of them actually - are monsters.
