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.

I checked to see if it was a radio station that carried conservative talk radio. Turned out it was sports talk radio.
Too bad it didn’t crush the idiot.
Sprots radio, huh? I figured it was a conservative talk radio tower.
will they sue Caterpillar for supplying the machine to do the job?
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.

Ahhhh! Did they think it was Fox News and conservative radio? Someone else said this may have been a Rush/Beck station?
“Freedom Fighters” struggling against “hatefilled” talk radio that is a proponent of violence.
ELF should be commended. :)
/sarcasm
Just a rumor but I heard these towers were recently constructed and that it may really be just a dispute with neighbors who didn’t want the new towers near them.
There were tow towers toppled. Did you find the other station?
Thanks for the pic, Mike.

Leftist fascists. Talk radio haters?
I dont imagine that they will be called the fascists that they are...
Umm... Since they don't work for the government, it's hard to make the argument that they're fascists.
Fascism is about government control, not anarchistic terrorism.
No doubt a “symbolic” gesture, then. Will all the talk of “localism” & FCC going after conservative talk.
Will = With

Ok you’re right...but they act like anarchist fascists. LOL

Lethal electrocution fences are next in line for these counterproductive members of society.
Bet they’ll be attending the Hemp Festival in Seattle area this weekend though.
