After grinding my teeth at years of animal rights extremist terror being ignored by the authorities or getting off with wrist slaps, it truly warms the cockles of my heart to see these adorable, patchouli-smelling, birkenstocked scamps and others of their ilk having to do actual hard time.
I assume most reading this have also heard of the other recent convictions of eco-terrorists. It took the current administration to proclaim these people our most serious domestic terror threat but finally determined, systematic multi-jurisdictional action is being taken--and how sweet it is!
I recommend a recent "Rolling Stone" article concerning how the most destructive wing of this movement got taken down. In the end, it was only a handful of pampered sociopaths who were doing this (or has someone used that phrase before?)
Suffice to say, now that eco-terror is carrying grown-up penalties, look to similar immature folks deciding to get their jollies through different means.
Too bad we no longer allow horsewhipping, tarring and feathering.
I'm confused. Did they do any damage to the facility or harm any individual? $1 million for telephone harassment and blocking their entrance?
What line did they cross from free speech to criminality?
