Radical Ecoterrorist Group Topples Two Radio Towers Near Seattle
EVERETT, Wash. (AP) - Two radio station towers were toppled early Friday, and the station's manager said an ecoterrorist group's initials were left at the scene. A sign bearing the letters ELF was found near the towers, said Andy Skotdal, general manager of KRKO Radio in Everett, about 25 miles north of Seattle. The Earth Liberation Front is a loose collection of radical environmentalists that has claimed responsibility for dozens of attacks since the 1990s.
However, Snohomish County sheriff's office spokeswoman Rebecca Hover wouldn't confirm that a sign was found.
A neighbor told a 911 operator that someone seemed to attacking the towers with a bulldozer at about 3:30 a.m., Hover told The Herald of Everett. A 349-foot tower and a smaller tower were found on the ground with heavy construction equipment nearby, but deputies and a tracking dog didn't find any suspects, Hover said.
Deputies found other, unspecified evidence at the scene, Hover said.

The only thing we hate more than polluters is the bleedin' 'Liberation Front of Earth'....Splitters!
Their site lists Fox Sports commentors and they say they are an “all sports” station. Obviously the attacks are by ESPN, that explains the poor spelling.
KRKO is an AM sports radio station. Everett is in Snohomish County (which could explain the “SnoCty” part of the sign.. though there is a finances firm under the name Sno Cty Inc.)

And the Earth Liberation Front ... oh, wait ...
Typically the FBI will assign one agent to this who already has 200 other cases to work.
Now if it had been an abortion clinic there would be thousands of agents from every agency working overtime.
“What about the Popular Front, Reg?”
“Oh, he’s over there.”
“Splitter!”
Thanks for correcting me. I misread search results.

Well, the good news is that humans aren’t perfect, which means the bad guys can slip up. I’m sure they’ll check the sign, the cab of the excavation equipment, etc. Something was left behind, lets just hope someone smart is in charge to recognize these things and follow through.
Must have been those “radical pittbulls” protesting Michael Vicks return to the NFL...no other explantion
Does not look like a dozer to me.
“a loose collection”
Oh, well that’s OK then. Thanks AP for putting my mind to rest about these pranksters.
DC United fans at work
Let’s just all hope the perp got his nuts irradiated with about 50KW of radio signal real close up....
Vandalism, yes. Terrorism, no. For those who still think words mean something.
Too bad we can’t guard things that elf might attack and catch the slimy weasels (no offense to weasels) in the act and prosecute the elf out of them. Sue them and subpoena their financial records and sue the living daylights out of their backers. Toss them all in jail, confiscate their assets to repay the damage they do, and throw away the key.
They have no interest in liberating the earth, whatever that is supposed to mean. They’re terrorists and destroyers, and they really, really need to pay the piper.
