Earth Liberation Claims Responsibility For SUV Firebombing
Friday, January 03, 2003
On Friday, the environmental terrorist group Earth Liberation Army claimed responsibility for setting several SUVs on fire at Bob Ferrando Ford in Girard.
The claim was released on the ELFs website. The statement says the group targeted the SUVs to continue the fight to remove the profit motive from the killing of the natural enviornment."
The FBI says it is taking the fires very seriously. Four SUVs were completely destroyed when jugs of gas were placed under three of them and then lit.
The vandalism occurred just before 6:00 a.m. New Years Day. Police estimate the damage at $100,000. Owner Bob Ferrando says his insurance will cover the damage.
Back in November, the ELF claimed that it teamed with the Animal Liberation Front in setting fire to an Erie mink farm. The ELF also claimed responsibility for the August 11 fire of a Forest Service lab in Warren County, and claimed responsibility for spiking trees and setting a crane on fire in Winter Green Gorge last March.

I wonder how many miles you'd have to drive one of those SUVs before putting out pollution comparable to setting one on fire? I'm betting it's a LOT.
Not that it matters, they're just stupid communist thugs who want to destroy stuff, like their World Bank-protesting ilk.

"If these are enviro-terrorists are well-known - you do talk as though you know who they are - would you please publish their names?" California State University did it for you, Destro-- they invited a whole slew of the earth-freaks to participate in a panel discussion on radical environmental activism and the ethics of sabotage.
It'll make you sick.
*Many* good links on that thread, too.

I guess they never heard of the environmental superdump called the Soviet Union where no profit motive existed. Socialism and environmentalism are mutually incompatible but the ELF dwarfs will never figure it out. They would still be reading the opinions of Trofim Denisovich Lysenko.

Four SUVs were completely destroyed when jugs of gas were placed under three of them and then lit. This is ironic. Destroying gas guzzing enviormentally harmful SUV's with gasoline!

nahhh...
they claim to love the environment? they worship nature? ok, fine. set them down bare-ass-nekkid in that Alaskan Arctic Wildlife Reserve they keep moaning about, several hundred miles away from any habitation, in the middle of winter, and let Nature take its course.
(apologies to Tom Clancy... it was initially his idea)

I bet the Al-Quida sleepers find it amusing that the Feds can't stop our own homegrown tree-hugging leftist terrorists. They must get a good laugh over that fact as they plan the violent deaths of thousands more Americans!

"The first step for the FBI should be to go capture the webmaster of the site"
Good point-can't the authoritys charge them with promoting terrorism for running these sites?

Here's what the ELF spokesperson is teaching our youth presently:
Jan 10th - Lecture on Legitimacy of Political Violence by Craig Rosebraugh
From the open publishing newswire: Within Westernized countries, particularly the United States, there has been a near universal acceptance of the notion that nonviolent action has been the foundation on which the success of social and political justice movements has been built. Yet, contrary to popular beliefs held by many in the United States, political violence has played a crucial role in advancing historical justice struggles. This lecture will examine the historical role that both nonviolence and political violence has played in social and political movements both within the United States and internationally.
When: Friday, January 10, 2003, 7:00 p.m.
Where: Laughing Horse Books, 3652 S.E. Division Street in Portland.
Originally from the Portland area, Craig Rosebraugh became thrust into the international spotlight during the past few years due to his role of spokesperson for the North American Earth Liberation Front (E.L.F.) After resigning the spokesperson position in September 2001, Rosebraugh became focused on an intense study of political violence and its role in historical justice movements. Rosebraugh will share highlights of his findings at the January 10, 2003 lecture.

After resigning the spokesperson position in September 2001, Rosebraugh became focused on an intense study of political violenceI have a morbid desire to learn what DAY in September 2001 this guy resigned, in order to "focus on an intense study of political violence".
Anyone else morbidly curious?
To: hellinahandcart
You guessed it kiddo-it was right about sept. 12th, 2001.I believe I read at one time he had been writing a dissertation on the subject for some time.A mixed up individual if there ever was one.The federales have a strong desire to see this man incarcerated as he encourages arson acts and other acts of political/environmental sabotage any way he can.

Whats screwball is that this guy can thumb his nose at city,state,county and federal police and get away with it.He even thumbed a congressional subcommitee.I doubt he'll get away with this for ever though.ELF is the #1 domestic terrorist group and the walls are closing in around them.
