Isn’t that special? Little Boy Lefty had a hobby destroying the property of others and it landed him in jail!

Enjoy your new friends, Nancy Boy. I hear Enviro-Wackos rank right up there with Child Molesters in The Big House. :)

So now will the DA’s around the country go after ELF as a whole as it’s a Terrorist Group?

“Grant Barnes”?!

...he just sounds like his parents are loaded and this is part of his “white guilt” complex. Green and red mohawk, black t-shirt, black pants, goatee, piercings, tattoos and fire bombs!

"Police said they are replicas of bombs shown on ELF's Web site."

Does this mean that ELF is an accessory to commit terrorist acts?

Ironic, isn't it? The perp probably protests at coal plants opening and here he is setting SUVs on fire.

12 years? He’s a terrorist for chrissakes. He should have got life.

That explains why the sentence was so light.
