Ecoterrorism isn't, of course.
But the message gets out anyway.
A while ago a joint RCMP, OPP and municipal police forces operation in Ontario arrested a group of young men who had been engaging in paramilitary training and buying huge quantities of ammonium nitrate fertiliser. The RCMP press representative described the subjects as being representative of a broad spectrum of Canadian society. This just before their names were read out in arraignment court and their female relatives all showed up at the courthouse wearing burkhas.
Point made without turning the police into a lightning rod.
