A 'green scare' in shades of gray

Invoking the Red Scare of the 1950s, some environmentalists claim the federal government is committing something similar against the green movement of the 2000s. Of course, it could simply be vigorous enforcement of laws against violence and property damage.

Where the wild things aren't

Briana Waters is on trial in Tacoma for her alleged role in the 2001 arson at the University of Washington's Center for Urban Horticulture. It was one of a number of incidents of vandalism in the Northwest attributed to Earth Liberation Front's campaign to rid the world of things that aren't "wild." So what is wild?

Weren’t a couple of the terrorists “Evergreeners”...they went to the evergreen state college.

[jazusamo]

Yes, there were several and Briana Waters was one of them. The link after the sentences I posted of the others may have some info on that, I can’t remember right now.

I hope they enjoy the new families they will have in prison. She will be in for quite a shock going from the yacht club to the bull dike club. I don't feel any sympathy for these radical geeks. They may be smart but they are still lowlife criminals who broke the law.

[jazusamo]

You’re right, educated or not they’re lowlifes and I believe most of them got off too easy.

While many of the Pacific Northwest ELFers were highly educated...

While many of the Pacific Northwest ELFers were highly educated indoctrinated by far-left Obama-supporting wacko professors at government schools....

[popdonnelly]

Unfortunately, she won’t get as severe a sentence as she deserves.

I hope they [the people she ratted on] put a rat jacket on her.

I watched an episode of Criminal Minds tonight. It centered around an Eco-Terrorist group named EDF - I think it stood for Earth Defense Force. Turns out the bad guy was a “rogue”. They practically worshiped the cause the group stood for after initially implying the group was responsible for the arson events. Gideon even said, “I support your cause, just not some of your tactics”. Wonder if his character would have the same opinion of pro-life groups?

You bet, that’s quite a resume she’s got but she won’t need it for a while. Like this McDonald says, she’ll probably be looking over her shoulder for a good long time after she gets out.

Guilty

[MtnClimber]

Had a custom home being built on my road, 3 houses down in the rural mountains in Colorado (too close to Boulder). The Ecos broke windows and left screeching notes about hurting mother earth on a few occasions. I volunteered to watch , block the one-way entrance if necessary and maintain 12ga duty till the sherrif’s dept came. The builder was too weak kneed. I was worried the eco’s would start a fire that would get the rest of us. The same thing around other homes being built, then you see plywood over windows. I would love to catch them!
