If you actually go around to the different sites and take a good hard look at the pictures these are definitely NOT hardened militants. There was a diverse group of protesters at the hilton yesterday in the age groups from 4years old up to 60+.

If you really want to talk about extremists what about the ever friendly anti abortion groups who put out death warrants on abortion doctors?

It's one thing to sabotage logging equipment, quite another to support and attempt murder in cold blood....

You can tell what people think by just looking at them? And what makes you think this crowd was "diverse"? Diverse to me, means diversity of thought. I love the strawman you put up about "anti-abortion groups" who target abortionists. I'm sure you won't find any supporters of murder here. The Nazi's were worse than those who sabotage logging equipment too, but so what? What does that prove? That they have the right to do it? Wrong. And don't think for a second that those environMENTALists aren't dangerous. Spiking trees certainly is deadly. That's why they do it.

Try reviewing the pictures again....As always, the hardened militants mix in with the bulk of the protesters so they are not singled out easily by the police.....Then they attempt to incite others around them.. When the cops finally move in, as the militants both know and want to happen, they run and leave the bulk of the crowd to "face the music"......

How you get from an agressive environmentalist rally to anti-abortion efforts here is the US is puzzling...By all standards (including US Dept. of Justice numbers) the number of radical environmentist crimes in both property and human injuries (inc. death) far exceed anything the anti-abortion crowd has proferred. Especially the past two years....It's one thing to sabotage logging equipment, quite another to support and attempt murder in cold blood....

"It's one thing to sabotage logging equipment, quite another to support and attempt murder in cold blood...."

It's obvious that by that statement you do not have a complete understanding of what spiking a tree does to a logger with a chain saw. I suggest you go visit the rehabilitative ward in a hospital in the NW and talk to some loggers who have experienced it. Or perhaps try the cemetary or talk to their family and friends.....

Spiking a tree should be considered attempted murder. Saw mill blades are huge, and they pretty much explode when they hit the spike.

Besides, abortionists are murderers.
