FBI Arrests Alleged Ecoterrorist Charged With 2001 Arson of Logging Trucks
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A fugitive radical environmentalist has been arrested by federal officials on charges of setting fire to logging trucks in 2001, the FBI announced Monday. Michael Scarpitti has been on the FBI's most-wanted list since disappearing two years ago. He is among four activists charged with setting logging trucks on fire in a 2001 protest of a timber sale on the slopes of Mount Hood.
Three others were captured after one of them told a girlfriend about the crime, according to arrest papers. The girlfriend's father is a deputy state fire marshal.
Scarpitti, also known as Tre Arrow, has had connections with the Earth Liberation Front, a loose group of activists that the FBI has classified as an eco-terrorist group.
The FBI lists the organization as its No. 1 domestic terrorism priority.

the FBI seems to have a long list that it is rolling up. This is the fourth or fifth eco-terrorist to be arrested in as many weeks. Good for them and I hope that we catch more and get their money as well as some jail time. Go after ecoterror like they (the socialists) went after big tobacco.

Michael Scarpitti… TIMBER!
Now that he's fallen, time for cut-to-length equipment to take him from here.

He was the boner that climed up the building in Portland and our "good" mayor Vera, wouldn't let the cops break out the water cannons and wash his little turdy butt off the building.

Excellent news.
Put him in Gitmo with Mohammed and Bubba Atta. Then in 60 months see if he still thinks being a Green Jihadist Ecoterrorist is a good thing.

About time. Vera could have handed him over anytime while he was sitting on the ledge downtown. Oh nevermind, I forgot she has a hands-off, welcome terrorists policy in Portland.
