How far can these environmental terrorists go before our gov't prosecutes these criminals for this conduct?
Burning down businesses, vandalizing vehicles for sale, and threatening honest people is not tolerable by our barometer.
While it is tolerable to be "compassionate" towards our environmental issues, it is NOT tolerable to permit this form of domestic terrorism.
This is NOT civil disobedience. There is nothing "civil" is destroying several million dollars of someone else's property.

Time to do some very public raids on these eco-terrorists.

He ended up being sent to prison for 22 years. His supporters (the ALF/ELF types) screamed that the judge just didn't understand that this was "protest," not criminal. I think the judge understood perfectly well what this was all about.

In fact, I think I will.
Then get them all busted.

Based on their satisfaction ratings and testimonials of H2 owners, are we sure it wasn't a group of disgruntled H2 owners?

Ship 'em all to Antarctica. Let them find their own way back.

I'd prefer to see the dealers in afflicted areas post armed guards with "shoot to kill" orders.
Then again, I'm a bit of a radical when it comes to property Rights. I'm one of those nuts who believes it is perfectly OK to blow some scumbag away if they trash your place of business.

If this is legimate protest, all ELF members cars should be spraypainted and their houses burned.

Arnold owns an H2. I'm surprised the enviro wackos haven't torched his vehicle yet.

If this is legimate protest, all ELF members cars should be spraypainted and their houses burned. Spraypainting their yugos, held together by 'Visualize World Peace' and 'Gore Won' bumper stickers, would be an improvement.
And, how many tree houses would we have to torch.
I prefer to make them roommates with someone named Bubba.

Laz, you will not be able to take the smell of these people. They are kinda like the French. If you flinch when you smell them, you are busted and they will know you are undercover.

Many states do allow deadly force to stop an arson. Not that I would bother thumbing through a lawbook while it was happening. I doubt I would even bother to make sure there were Hydrashocks in the 1911A1.

If they haven't already, any dealership that carries SUV's needs to start putting up cameras that they turn on at night. Keep them in a hidden location and aimed at the SUV's.

Remember the one scene where they are exhuming the decaying corpse, and they spread that smell-masking white cream beneath their noses, on their upper lip?
That's what I'll do.

ELF has attacked and vandalized my wife's place of business on more than one occasion. We should deal with them as we deal with other types of terrorists.
