It may be true that, unlike such right-wing domestic terrorists as Timothy McVeigh and Eric Rudolph, they have not been responsible for any loss of life...

More MSM lies to apologise for the enviro-nazis. They've obviously never heard of "tree spiking," where steel spikes are driven into the trunks of trees so that chainsaw blades are broken-- or worse to the chainsawyer.

Nothing much happens with a chain saw, a spike just dulls the chain in a big hurry.

It's at the sawmill where a spike can be a lethal killer.

If it's a circular sawmill, the saw is 4 to 8 feet in diameter and spinning at about 750 RPMs.

When that type of saw hits a spike, the saw can come apart in large chunks travelling at high speed, which can slice up people or anything else it hits.

In a bandsaw mill, the saw blade can break and/or come off its guides and/or wheels with similar deadly consequences.

Anyone who spikes a tree should be lashed to a log as it's run through a sawmill.

I heard somebody on the radio discussing this topic.

One point he made was that ELF et al do not claim responsibility immediately after an "incident",
but wait a few days just to make sure no one died, otherwise, they'd be admitting to a homicide.

The seeds planted in the young minds start in the universities, hotbed for eco extremism. No NeoNazi or KKK group began their indoctrination in our universities or university clubs. Ecoterrorist start their indoctrination in the campuses. The government and bloggers should concentrate their public light there.
