I suppose, then, that these are acts perpetrated by some militant eco-group. Do they hope to scare people away from floating down the river? Does floating down a river in a rubber boat cause ecological damage of some sort?
Hopefully, whoever is perpetrating these acts will be caught soon and made an example of before 'copycat' spikings are done elsewhere. Any river that's used by the recreational public is now at risk.
I think they are [yaa-aah!] fighting for fish rights. The Fish Fighters. Something's 'fishy' at any rate.
These lunatic eco-terrorists need to be shot on site when caught doing idiotic acts of terrorism like this.
At the very least, life in prison with NO chance of parole. This is terrorism, no different than the terrorism done by Muhammadans. The Feds need to shut down these groups like Peta, label them terrorist organizations, seize their assets and make it illegal to raize money or be associated with them.
You will get no arguments from me. As is stated in the video, these spikes could easily cause someone's death.
Hopefully, since the U.S. Forest Service has labeled this as eco-terror, perhaps this will now automatically come under the purview of the FBI or Homeland Security.
"This is terrorism, no different than the terrorism done by Muhammadans."
I'm not sure that it would be wise to re-position satellites to catch them, however. If they keep it up, a little basic technology could do the trick, along with police work. But scaring the living daylights out of them regarding 'terrorism' is a good idea.
Whoever did this most likely has limited brain capacity. A neanderthal could have laid out traps like that.
Consider this a threat you Eco-terrorists a-holes!...I find out who you are and you can kiss your sweet radical Lenin/Stalin whatever butts goodbye!...You screw with one of our last few pastimes to relax and we will find you. Could it be this scum comes from Eugene...(Moscow on the Willamette)?
Very true, and hopefully your scenario regarding the forced-demise of an enviro-wacko will come to pass, although hopefully without any harm being done to Momma Bear.
I remain baffled as to the purpose of this....it obviously requires quite a bit of trouble to install these spikes. The video showed some of the spikes in rocks which appeared to be at least a couple of feet underwater, and I suppose it could have been done at a time of low water, perhaps by one or two people in hip waders.
But why? Just to create random panic I suppose....absolutely sick and I hope that Momma Bear sneaks up behind one of these enviro-wackos and makes a snack of him.
These nut bars have migrated from all over the country to the northwest....If they see anyone enjoying themselves in their temples of worship (the great unspoiled outdoors)...they consider it being raped and must defend themselves....I know how they think....
This is very self-defeating behavior on the part of the enviro-weenies. The people on the river are probably, as a group, much more likely to support preservation of the environment. If folks get scared away from the outback, they are not going to care a whole lot if the outback gets strip-mined. When I see a tree, I am filled with the delight of nature. If I never see a tree, all I care about is the price of 2x4s down at Home Depot.
How much you wanna bet these particular nut bars are from California?
Entirely possible...The whole west coast is infected....
Do they hope to scare people away from floating down the river?
I doubt it would be Kayakers placing spikes. Those things would be just as dangerous for them.
California, Oregon and Washington....home of many whacko leftists....but home of many who would fight them....
As should the NGOs who fund them. These financiers are cut from the same clothe as are those who channel support to Al Qaida.
They are the enemy of honest, law abiding Americans and should be treated as such.
At the very least RICO should be used to investigate & prosecute all those deserving.
