Briana Waters is the last member of "The Family" to be prosecuted that aren't fugitives. Her trial is sceduled for Feb 11 in a Tacoma, WA federal court.

Ecoterrorist Ping!

[utherdoul]

Set them on fire, its only fair.

[WayneS]

“Misguided”, hell.

They are ultra-left-wing terrorists and need to be named as such in the MSM....

Hahahahahahahahahahaha, like THAT is ever going to happen. Sometimes I crack myself up.

[WayneS]

One committed suicide after being arrested, eh?

Well, at least HE did his part to reduce global warming, etc.

The last one, the woman accused of being a lookout, Briana Waters, was a student at The Evergreen State College in 2001 and denies participating. Now she's a 32-year-old violin teacher in Berkeley, Calif., and a mom.

Are there any Caterpillar bulldozers in Berkeley?

[jazusamo]

LOL! Misguided is a real stretch but remember this guy writes for The Seattle Times, I’m surprised he went that far.

[vpintheak]

But all that carbon from the decomposing body!

[jazusamo]

Here's a link to a piece giving some background on these losers.

...Briana Waters, was a student at The Evergreen State College in 2001...

Rachel Corrie, Gaza terrorist protector and CAT Challenger, now six feet under, was a student at The Evergreen State College too. Especial psycho water must be served on campus.

[jazusamo]

Evergreen is mainly moonbats, students and professors.

Briana Waters a extremely left wing Terrorist was a look out for the Earth Liberation Front. These self appointed terrorists thought they were burning down research that was against their believes. We must remember Dear readers extremely left wing terrorists are not the brightest bulb in the batch. They destroy the wrong place again.
As free Americans we can only hope these misguided morons would not breed and spread their dim wits to children. No such luck Briana Water is a Mom now and you can bet your last dollar she is going to teach her children how they too can become Eco-terrorist.

[jazusamo]

Yes, she’s a mom now but she won’t have much input with her daughter? (I believe), if she’s found guilty she’s facing a 35 year mandatory sentence.

Two of her loony cohorts are testifying against her, it looks like she’s going down.

[george76]

Thanks for the ping.

Nice that she can face the music.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

They set fire to the Center for Urban Horticulture at the University of Washington because they believed one of the researchers was genetically engineering poplar trees. He wasn't.

And even if he was this is a stupid reason to burn a place down. Of course, off hand, I can think of few smart reasons to burn a building down.

[Robert357]

It will be interesting to see what happens in the court case. Judges in Washington State (even federal ones) are famous for being ultra-liberals.

While I feel that they should toss her in jail and toss the key away, I fully anticipate that one of the liberal judges around here will say that now she is a mom, and teaches children music, so she is no longer a threat to the community. It was just a youthful indiscretion (NOT!)

[jazusamo]

I hear you, you make a good point. I believe a lot depends on the testimony of these two witnesses.

During the hearing, Kolar received a suggested sentence of 5–7 years in federal prison despite facing a mandatory life sentence, Phillabaum, 3–5 years. Both Kolar and Phillabaum were released without bail following their pleas. On January 28 (29?), 2007, Phillabaum reported to a federal facility to begin voluntarily serving her sentence, but formal sentencing for both is unlikely to occur until after Briana Waters' trial. Both Phillabaum and Kolar are expected to testify against Waters and have been provided significant reductions in their recommended sentences as a result of extensive cooperation with the federal government.

I like that! A violin teacher having to face the music.

[jazusamo]

I like that! A violin teacher having to face the music.

LOL!

It's time for me to loosen up, I've been taking this much too seriously. That went right over my head.

[RabidBartender]

The trial date has been moved a number of times so far. Poor Briana has a website set up (supportbriana.org) where she begs for money and shows pictures of her child (who I honestly feel bad for).

Waters was offered a decent deal by the government, but decided to play hardball. I hope she gets the maximum sentence. These ecoterrorists need to be held accountable.
