Eco-Terrorist Ping!

I am not surprised the media trys to make him a darling....

Look how they portray Che.

They operate at night as most criminals do. They break our laws and then want immunity pushed by the media. They are cowards one and all. They will not face rational citizens in the open with honest arguments. I clearly remember these folks spiking trees that caused great injury and death. When one refused to act as a person and chooses to act like an animal then that is how they should be treated.
A term usually used in a different conversation comes to mind. SSS. Shoot Shovel and Shut up.

Most environmentalists wouldn’t burn down a logging plant or put the lives of strangers at risk.

2 million die every year because of the environmentalists. And if you ask them to reconsider they will not.

They don't just put people at risk, they want them dead in the name of population control.

McGowan, often seen wearing a T-shirt calling President George W. Bush an international terrorist, doesn’t like it when he gets labeled a “terrorist.” “No one got hurt, no one got injured,” he whines. And while that’s true, could his buddies ensure that before the fact? Fires spread. Firefighters die in the line of duty. People show up in places where they’re not supposed to be all the time.

That's the same Bullstalin that the Weather Underground try to throw.

The Weather Underground plotted to bomb a dance at an armory. And Bill Ayers still feels he didn't do enough bombings.

Giving credit where credit is due, ELF and ALF have published some excellent manuals on how to commit sabotage. Freedom fighters might need that information some time.

The problem with both groups is that their ideology is unsound, and their tactics dangerous to life and property.

Hmmm. I wonder how the folks pushing sympathy for this man would view a movie made about a ‘pro-life’ terrorist who went around bombing abortion clinics? /S
