I did a little research on your question/statement about who got Luers. This is a link to an interesting thread on this. (First year anniversary of Jeff 'Free' Luers' incarceration [Earth Liberation Front])

Direct Quotes from Luers:

On June 16, 2000 I ignited a fire that would forever change my life. I torched 3 SUV’s. I took extra care and used specific fuels to ensure no one would be injured.

Approximately 30 minutes after the fire was lit and extinguished, I was taken into custody by 3 undercover agents who had been following me, one of whom I would later learn to be a member of an anti-domestic terrorist unit. I was arrested on Criminal Mischief One,a charge that carries about one year. In the course of one week that charge would multiply into 10 felony counts, including 3 counts of Arson One.

Getting to trial took the course of a year. By trial I had accumulated 13 felony counts, now including conspiracy with persons unknown. I was looking at a little over 100 years. I refused to take a deal.

I had never seen that remark about the " 3 undercover agents who had been following me, one of whom I would later learn to be a member of an anti-domestic terrorist unit."

I myself became aware of the attempts to burn Tyree Oil when Richard Bremer, the station manager of the Eugene police Whiteaker substation mentioned it to me.

It was upsetting, as it would have created a huge inferno that could have killed many folks.

Interestingly enough, Luer's digs were within the range of this inferno, right across the tracks at the old Chef Francico's factory/wharehouse.

Luers had been aware that I have Green Beret military training, and had probed me for information concerning explosives and other such things while I was at the old 'Out of the Fog" coffeehouse a year or so before his little monkeyshines.

I note he tried to ignite fumes eminating from jugs of fuel with burning incense sticks, and as it was unseasonably cold that morning, Tyree was kept safe by whomever sets the weather up there. I am very, very, very glad I remembered that what knowlege was given me by the U.S. Army was taught me along with a sense of responsibility to safeguard it.

Had this clown hurt or killed someone, or even been more efficient and smart in planning his little operation's orders for these crimes, I would be a very tortured soul right now.

This situation taught me a great deal, make no mistakes about that.

I should mention that Luers had shown what a tempermental and violent sort he was several times when he was at the Fall Creek tree sit.

He once beat up a kid who stole three cassette tapes. And he did it thoroughly, enjoying every minute of it.

He has also been in the hole for fighting in prison. He was badly beaten up by a common criminal also from Eugene after he took issue with that guy calling himself a Eugene Anarchist.

Thanks for the links, Grampa. The leftist Indymedia muses that: He was sentenced to an astounding 23 years for this crime, leading many people to believe that the sentence was politically motivated and intended to intimidate environmentalists.

Now I wonder what would give them that idea? -- har har.
These 'soldiers' in their 'war against corporate fascism' howl like spanked children. I thought soldiers were supposed to bear their wounds more stoically. They need to be rounded up and put in work details to clear the brush and dead trees in our National Forests.
