Need I inform you of the flaw in your idea?
The Eco-terrorists have no life; terrorism is their life. - We, on the other hand have families, businesses, and other responsibilities that prevent us from turning our lives into a continuous stream of symbolism.
As for stopping food and water being sent to them anyone sending food or water to such an eccoterrorist is engaged in a conspiracy to commit a crime and should be prosecuted for that. Employment of armed USDA agents in the capturing and prosecution of these ecoterrorists might provide a rational for the Federal government having armed them some years ago.
Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown
Yep, you have a point there.
On a serious note, think about what the enviro-nazi's have accomplished with their activism. You and I are paying through the nose.
"We have a strict no-violence code."
Tree sitting is a violent crime as the intent is to impede a person, business or logging company that has earned the right of way. Thus the tree sitter is doing much more than trespassing.
At the same time, activists say their civil disobedience -- tree-sitting, blocking roads, chaining themselves to gates -- is the only way to stop Pacific Lumber and its parent firm, Maxxam Corp.
All of the above -- tree-sitting, blocking roads, chaining themselves to gates -- are criminal acts when they are intentional... with the intent to impede a person, businesses, logging company or lumber company that has earned the right of way. Each crime that goes un-prosecuted rightfully causes taxpayers to increasingly distrust the government.
Some have given their lives to the cause.
Sometimes criminals die while committing their crimes because of their criminal acts.
In 1998, a tree-sitter named David "Gypsy" Chain died on Pacific Lumber land in Humboldt County.
What crime, aside from trespass, was he committing at the time?
And last month, a 22-year-old female protester from Portland died after falling 150 feet from a tree in the Mount Hood National Forest in Oregon.
Like I said, sometimes criminal acts cause the criminal's death. I'm only saddened that the unnamed criminal chose a life of crime in the first place because otherwise she (the unnamed criminal) might still be alive and a productive contributor to her own benefit and society.
A tree-sitter in Freshwater, who gave her name only as "Remedy," said she has spent the past 41 days in a redwood tree because she believes corporations like Maxxam are poisoning water supplies and jeopardizing salmon and birds.
There's a plethora of things that a multitude of people don't like. But unlike Remedy, the don't turn into criminals.
Jim Branham, director of government relations for Pacific Lumber, said that if Earth First activists insist they haven't called themselves eco-terrorists, "we'll accept them at their word on that."
At the very least call them criminals since that is what they are.
Speaking of reparations {g}, when and how much is the government going to give to the businesses that the government bankrupted by alcohol prohibition? Run with it when a reparations thread is posted.
All politics is local. It's time the citizens voted this bum out on his ear!
Also, this lumber company should embark on an aggressive program to post NO TRESPASSING signs on their property. When the tree-huggers cross the line, arrest them. Post guards around their plant, or else the pinkos will probably burn it down in the middle of the night. This is WAR, pure and simple. It's either trees or food on peoples' tables!
(Trees are a farm product. Lumber companies FARM trees... DUH! .... Of course all good conservatives understand, and leftists are too lame to grasp that concept!)
