There have been three other convictions recently for ecoterrorism in Oregon. One more suspect is fighting extradition from Canada. It's a good start.

These guys are domestic terrorists. 50 to life seems like a good start.

I hope the Feds are really severe on these people.
To: somniferum
Yep, and they need to serve it in federal "pound-me-in-the-a**" prison. Let them talk their eco-crap in Leavenworth.
To: somniferum
If they committed arson, they should get the penalty for arson. If they downed a power line, then they should get the penalty for destruction of private or government property. If the damage they directly caused led to other indirect costs such as delayed medical care, lost business time, etc. then they should be liable civily.
But they should not be punished because of why they did it. This would just be feeding into the same nonsense that gave us "hate crime" legislation.
To: Anti-Bubba182
And it's good that it is a federal beef. If it were state courts in California, Oregon, or Washington they'd get off when a liberal state court "accidentally" botches the case. As it is, there is a real danger of the 9th Circus overturning the conviction on appeal because the cops railroaded them by watching and catching them, and the enviralists' rights were violated when they didn't get served breakfast in bed.

It's about time. Earth First and Wildlands Project are the parents of this monster group of persons. They all need to go to jail until they are too old and crippled to ever do anything dangerous again.
To: who_would_fardels_bear
Agreed. Even if they somehow get off in criminal court, they should be sued for any industrial downtime, costs to re-install power equipment, and any delays in emergency services.
That's how the airlines handle things. If you get sloppy drunk and cause a flight to be diverted, the arrest at the gate for drunkenness and disorderly conduct is the tip of the iceberg. The airlines will sue you for the downtime of the aircraft and any related logistics problems, which can end up costing you 50 grand real easy.
To: Excuse_My_Bellicosity
That is a good point about the State courts in that area and the Ninth Circuit as well. Too bad!
I think the Feds will be very severe and if the Ninth tries anything they will be reversed, barring any grevious errors on the part of the Prosecution.

Being from Wyoming, I'm real familiar with Earth First! Those lousy pukes should all be in prison. They do all kinds of vandalism (like trashing logging and Forest Service Equipment, and spiking trees) and they sabotage equipment that causes a risk to the lives of the guys that are out earning a paycheck so that they'll hopefully quit and shut down the timber industry.
When I was in high school, I've had many insults yelled at me in public places and by slow-moving cars on the street because I liked to wear a T-shirt that said Earth Oil First! One maggot even chucked a beer bottle at me.

And what do they all have in common? I'll bet a hundred bucks... Evergreen State College.

But they should not be punished because of why they did it. Intent to cause public terror can be a crime, and I don't think it is like a "hate" crime. Seems to me to be on a level all its own.

Now if they'd follow through and link it back to PETA, Sierra and the UN. I won't hold my breath.
