Arsonist strikes again Monday 12:08 PM PDT on Monday, August 2, 2004 The Associated Press KING An investigator from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms takes photos of the wreckage of an under construction apartment building in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood of Seattle. The building was destroyed by arson.
SEATTLE - Four more deliberately set fires were reported early Monday, the latest in a string of weekend arsons that caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage in north Seattle.
Fire Department spokeswoman Helen Fitzpatrick said small fires were set at two garages and on a piece of furniture on a parking strip. Damage from the garage fires did not appear extensive.
Another small fire was extinguished Monday morning at a paper recycling business, the Salvage Broker, in north Seattle. Damage there was minimal, Fitzpatrick said.
There were seven other fires in north Seattle between Saturday night and early Sunday; at least five of those were arson. They burned at a condominium complex, a cafe, two homes, a garage and a car dealership.
The fires came one week after a fire destroyed an apartment building being built in the Wallingford neighborhood, causing $2.75 million in damage.
IMO this could be ELF or a related eco terrorist. They have beeen threatning to start fires in the PNW in the last few months.
In the past construction sites have been their targets and big earth moving equipment.
In another story that can be found at NWCN.com they have a sereal forrest fire arsonist hitting my Washington neighbors also.
I am sure it is an ELF member... but of course, they are a protected species up there.
Does anyone know what Freeper from Washington has their ping list?
I would like to get some insight from those closer to these fires.
Grandpa Dave do you think this is valid for a enviro-whacko ping and do you know who that pinger is?
CyberCowboy777 has the ping list.
Please ping the chapter.
Not anymore they have managed to get themselves up to commiting Felonies so there peaceful tree hugging days are sooo over.
BTW We watched a documentary about the woman who did the 2yr tree sit in the tree Earth First named Nova and also interviews of the locals.
Unbelievable how this woman's mind works, it is like she is cult like brainwashed. That phoney laid back I am so filled with love act.
?.......Religion of Peace Snipers run out of ammunition?
/sarcasm
Arsonists have a Union. What are they striking for? Better pay and benefits?
I'd been to a karaoke bar that evening, and arrived back at my friend's house in the Lake City area at about 2:15, right in the middle of the string of arson fires. We talked - standing outside - until almost three, then I went home. Didn't see, hear, or smell anything, even though we were within a few blocks of several of those fires. But at least I have an alibi. :-)
Dunno maybe the building owners are paying the eco terrorist to do the arson and then pay off with insurance.....any theory is possible at this early point in time with what we know via the media.
Whom ever is behind this they are going to jail. Arson can quickly turn into murder.
Thank You for the ping.
The only strike I have heard on the news that I watch is the cement truck drivers strike up in Washington.
Yeah, that's a great incentive for ELF to stop their terror attacks. Maybe we can get the US government to cut off health benefits for soldiers wounded in action, too. (That'll teach em!)
I'm curious, if there *were* cameras present, but they didn't provide enough info to catch the perps, would the developers then be eligble for insurance under your plan?
In my view this arson thing differs little from terrorism. they should be called "terrorists" in my opinion for dstroying property, like they do in Iraq.
It was a bad play on words for the title.
