This is NOT civil disobedience. There is nothing "civil" is destroying several million dollars of someone else's property.

Some idiot in Oregon, I do believe, did this to SUVs at a dealership. 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.

Many of our domestic terrorist front groups know exactly who and where the perpetrators are. Case in fact, PETA, that sent $ to one of them, but professed NOT to know where he was.

I agree, there are LOTS of these "activists" in Oregon and they often bus into Washington to start trouble at our political/business events. They will be here today as President Bush arrives - count on it. They apparently have no jobs, proving they are being funded. Please buy FReeper Carry_Okie's book. He documents how foundations get $ from big corporate donors, only to take that money and fund local terrorists activists who later riot at the corporation. His book about the environment is fascinating.
