Damaged Meadowcreek Parkway Equipment Was Case Of Arson
The Thursday night fire that damaged equipment used for construction of the Meadowcreek Parkway was deliberately set. That's the ruling of the Albemarle Fire Marshal's Office. A backhoe and several other pieces of equipment were damaged by fire or vandalism at a construction site off Melbourne Road. Firefighters responded shortly before 10 p.m. Thursday. Total damage is estimated at $110,000. The FBI has been brought in to assist with the arson investigation. Albemarle spokeswoman Lee Catlin says it's too early to speculate if there's any connection between the damage and the construction of the Meadowcreek Parkway. No further details of the investigation are being released. VDOT says the damage will NOT affect the construction timetable for the Parkway.
$110K is a lot of damage - if they are caught they could be in serious trouble.
BTW I am neutral on this parkway - just don't like greenies taking matter to the street.
I would be surprised if this act wasn’t PETA-surrogate ELF (Earth Liberation Front). It’s strange that they were not listed under DHS’s ‘Left-wing Extremist’ summary for Napolitano. She and her clowns were so worried about ‘Right-wing extremist’ military folks that newly-minted Navy and Marine officers could not wear their ceremonial swords to their Annapolis graduation when Zero spoke there recently.
The left seems to think that violent protest will always be a one way street.
I don’t know if there is ELF here but would not be surprised. With UVA there are many young people and it is a very leftie place.
Left wing terror
