Feds Arrest Two for Eagle Creek Arson (Oregon - Logging Protesters)

KGW-TV Portland ^ | August 13, 2002

The Oregon FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force arrested two people today in connection with an arson fire that damaged log trucks in Eagle Creek in June of last year. Two others were indicted and are being sought.

The truck fire happened near where protesters were camped out to block the now-canceled Eagle Creek timber sale.

Federal prosecutors said the suspects face up to a million dollars in fines and 30 years in jail.

A well-known Portland activist is among those indicted. Michael J. Scarpitti -- who goes by the name Tre Arrow -- is most known for living on a ledge of the U.S. Forest Service building in downtown Portland two years ago in a timber protest that lasted eleven days. Officers are searching for Scarpitti, along with activist Angela Marie Cesario, to arrest them in this developing case.

Twenty-year-old Jacob Sherman and 25-year-old Jeremy Rosenbloom were indicted by a federal grand jury shortly before today's arrests at their residences. They made an initial court appearance this afternoon and trial was set for October 16th.

Investigators said these arrests are a key breakthrough in the investigation into the ecoterrorism arson case at Eagle Creek. The damaged log trucks belong to Ray Schoppert Logging Company, which had a contract to log the 1,030-acre Eagle Creek timber sale. The sale was the subject of prolonged protests and has since been canceled.

Court documents do not link the four suspects to the ecoterrorism groups ELF or ALF, but said the incinerary devices used to torch the Eagle Creek logging trucks were similiar to the formula used to set Ross Island Sand and Gravel trucks on fire in a similar case. The Earth Liberation Front claimed responsibility in that arson but the case is still pending.

Glock Rocks is on our side and despises these eco terrorists as much as we do! Trust me on this one!

[Grampa Dave]

I think that good juries could be found in Klamath Falls, Medford, Grants Pass, and Cave Junction and even semi liberal Brookings after the fires this past month or so.

[Grampa Dave]

Yep, and then try them, convict them and put them on a chain gang to work to undo the damage they did.

Tre Arrow
a.k.a. Michael Scarpetti

[B Knotts]

Should be "Scarpitti." My typo.

[Catspaw]

After having our area become a target for eco-terrorists--mink releases, arson of a feed mill and who knows what else--the state and the feds cracked down on them & put a few in prison, more in jail. It wasn't a dismissal of the charges or a little fine-the Powers that Be hauled one guy back from Europe. They ended up spending considerable time with "real" criminals & they weren't very happy.

The problem has decreased significantly in the past couple years. Facing significant prison time & actually serving that time for their crimes has been a real deterrant. There ain't no tree tea oil in the Big House, or any vegan diet in the Wisconsin Prison System.

Go this website, Stop Eco Violence, for a reality look at these criminal Green Jihadists and what they have done to innocent Americans: (Stop Eco Violence)

[B Knotts]

I could rustle you up a good jury in East Multnomah County, where I live.

[Nuke'm Glowing]

LOL, good point! I forgot about those cities, the last bastions of America there!!!!

[Grampa Dave]

They have one of Tre's buddies locked up in an Oregon Prison for a couple of decades for burning up a million $'s of SUVs in Eugene.

The watermelon creeps roaming Eugene and Portland think that the crime was him going to jail. I understand he has met and came out on the short end of a couple of discussions with Bubbas who don't care for his agendas.

Up to now, these eco terrorists have been treated like a spotted owl or someother rare and endangered creature in Oregon. Time for that Bravo Sierra to come an end.

There are just a hand full of these eco terrorists. The feds need to put a $100,000 bounty each out for Tre and his female POS.

Set up a reward for evidence submitted to jail some of these eco terrorists. Reward those who turn in the info and then try the eco terrorists up, find them guilty and lock them up for a few decades with Bubba and LeRoy as their cell mates. This eco terrorism will stop.

The final thing is to track down the donors to these violent eco terrorists. Then make them financially responsible for the terror their dollars bought. For example Peta funds ELF/ALF. PETA scumbags and donors should be tried in civil court and made to pay like trible damages. A few cases like that will help to stop this Bravo Sierra.

Thanks!

As an Oregonian citizen, could you start a wanted thread on Free Repubic. I will be off line most of this evening and most of tomorrow with family business. If you can't maybe Ebuck or Archie Bunker on steroids, Salvation or some Oregon citizen can put up a vanity and a wanted thread. Maybe the moderator will allow it as breaking news.

Back hoe, can you get this clymer's picture out to your great list of good people? Same goes with Mad Fly and the other enviral pingers.

[Grampa Dave]

I love to have you as a jury foreman with a "rustled up" Jury or your peers, try this POS!

[Grampa Dave]

Please add this picture of this eco terrorist to every message you post to or reply to on Free Republic until he is caught. Lets put a huge Green Light alert out to find this eco terrorist criminal. B Knotts, thanks for this quick picture.

Unfortunately they'lll be branded political prisoners. It seems a leftist can kill a man but because he's a leftist any incarceration is "political".

[glock rocks]

here's a 8.6 megabyte real video movie of treeboy. look for the charlie manson eyes...

8.6 meg real video takes a minute at T1 to download, runs 8 minutes.
bring a hanky, it was taken a couple weeks after an "altercation" at a tree sit.

[holyscroller]

That video is a scream. With the right background music, pauses at the right places, a few other "amplifications of fact" (showing the REAL story of what these idiots are up to) and this would make a good piece for Saturday Night Live. This worthless leech equating himself to a "taxpayer" is a riot. He's probably never worked a day in his life, let alone pay taxes. Who first filled the heads of these pondscum with this excrement anyway? How can anybody be so totally wrong and off-base?

I remember reading about that guy. His pals mewed and cried about him getting about 20 years, if I remember correctly, because what he did wasn't a crime, it was A Cause. What garbage. He went to prison because he was an arsonist. And if his supporters were treated badly, I'll try to squeeze out a tear.

[BraveMan]

Outstanding find glock!

Kevin Costner & Will Farell in "Dances With Wolves meets Pontificates For Trees" . . .

Send them to Roseburg. Guaranteed convictions.

[Jolly Rodgers]

Good luck finding a non-treehuggingcommie jury out there. I'd suggest sending them to Alabama for trial. That way at least you might get a more reasonable jury.

You just might be surprised. Recall that we send "free" up the river for a loooooong time after his conviction of burning SUVs on a car lot.
