3 more plead guilty in Oregon to ecoterrorism
Trio were part of group that planted bombs around western U.S.
July 21, 2006
EUGENE, Ore. - Three more people pleaded guilty Friday to being part of an ecoterrorist cell that planted fire bombs around the West.
The trio are accused of trying to stop logging, wild horse roundups, genetic engineering of plants, sport utility vehicles sales and expansion of a ski resort into endangered lynx habitat.
In pleading guilty, the three admitted they were part of the Earth Liberation Front and Animal Liberation Front, loose-knit groups of environmental activists that claimed credit for arsons in recent years throughout the West.
The pleas in U.S. District Court brought to six the number of people indicted on conspiracy and arson charges. They have agreed to cooperate with the investigation into 16 attacks that occurred from 1996 to 2001 and caused more than $20 million in damage in Oregon, Washington, California, Wyoming and Colorado.
Three others pleaded guilty Thursday, three are fugitives, and four are scheduled to go on trial Oct. 31.
Those pleading guilty were Portland disc jockey Chelsea Gerlach, 29; Stanislaus Meyerhoff, 29, Gerlach's high school classmate; and Susanne Savoie, 29, an employee at a group home for the developmentally disabled.
Meyerhoff and Gerlach admitted to a number of attacks, including firebombing a police station in 2000. Meyerhoff and Savoie admitted setting fire to a lumber company in 2001, and Savoie pleaded guilty to setting fire to a tree farm.
Prosecutors recommended prison sentences of 15 years for Meyerhoff, 10 for Gerlach, and five for Savoie.

We should be doing whatever we have to to get these vermin to give us the names of all acccomplices.
Catching three should be the thread that unravels the whole thing.

There have been about a dozen or so arrests to date involving this ring and it looks like these three may be cooperating with the FBI.
Here's another of the little darlings:
Bye bye a**holes. I hope you end up pinned to a lifer with AIDS.

Can we get video of how they walk now compared to after 30 days in the hoosgow? Thanks!
"The trio are accused...." The Brits may use singular subjects and plural verbs but in American we don't.
American sports casters obit writers, and celebrity hacks are the worst at using such poor grammer.
"There have been about a dozen or so arrests to date involving this ring and it looks like these three may be cooperating with the FBI."
Glad to hear it; thanks for the info.
This was a real spot of good news last week; six of these turds pleaded guilty, and I think that ELF/ALF are just about over. There are still two or three people on the run, but I have no doubt that the Terrorism Task Force will catch up to them eventually.
Bottom line on all of these people is that they were easily facing multiple life counts in prison if they had gone to trial, because every one of them spilled the beans on the others, and one chose suicide rather than face charges. Ultimately the sentences will all be far too short considering all of the damage this group did, but their domestic terrorist days are finally over...

Please notify me via FReepmail if you would like to be added to or taken off the Oregon Ping List.
I would hope that each is given the maximum amount of confinement (it's a plea deal so no such luck) in leau of the financial restitition these bums can't pay).
Ping...
