Six guys in masks? Home invasion? Somebody's going to get hurt if this keeps up.

Not every professor is a limp-wristed milquetoast. Some of them even own guns. I really hope that the next time this happens, it ends with two or three dead hippies, and the rest in jail for decades.

Anyone doing animal research who doesn’t have a home alarm system and something with some serious knock-down capability hasn’t thought the whole thing through.

These goons are joined at the hip with the Fred Phelps gang. So filled with blind, sanctimonious hatred that they've sunk to humanity's sub-sub-basement.
Maybe one of these days they'll mistakenly break into the home of some less-meek academic -- Doug Giles, perhaps.

Your right, someone is going to get hurt. They’re going to have to put the hammer down on these idiots and make examples of them like they did to “The Family,” give em hard time.
Pretty good piece, george.

The male victim had made sure his wife and children were safe in the back of the house before he confronted the attackers. Oh, man, that means he had more than ample time to grab a gun -- if he had had one.
Keep it up, PETA loons!... See what happens to 'ya!...

While the search was taking place, protesters taunted officers, asking them to reveal their badge numbers and shining flashlights in their eyes. When officers emerged from the house carrying evidence, some of the students were following the police, taking pictures of the undercover squad car and its license plates with their cell phones.
A friend of the students who were inside the Riverside home told the Sentinel the incident was related to animal rights and SHAC. A group, called SHAC7, includes six activists and a corporation, Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty USA Inc. They were found guilty of multiple federal felonies for their role in shutting down an animal testing lab, Huntingdon Life Sciences. SHAC7 has an office in San Francisco

The University of California’s Board of Regents also sought permanent injunctions against the Animal Liberation Front, the Animal Liberation Brigade, the UCLA Primate Freedom Project and five protesters believed to be affiliated with those groups.
The lawsuit alleges that the defendants invaded researchers’ privacy, interfered with business practices and intentionally caused emotional distress.
Jerry Vlasak, a spokesman for the Animal Liberation Press Office, had earlier said underground protesters would not be moved by the lawsuit.

Well, if they keep this kind of crap up, they will be moved.. and they’ll REALLY be “underground”.
I would be torn between a shotgun, my AR or my Garand in a case like this one.

The ecoterrorist groups are prosecutable under the RICO Act, if anyone had the gumption to do it. Thanks george76.

Thank you for the extra information. You must have some good sources. I live in Santa Cruz and did not get that info.
On a more general note, it seems these various protesters depend on the value of life that those they torment/terrorize (loggers, health researchers, etc) have to insure they don't get seriously hurt. If that value of HUMAN life was not there, I wonder if they would be so "brave".

No problem, PETA has a fund to pay their legal costs if they get arrested.
