A Hummer dealership has been burned by ecoterrorists. KTLA has a chopper over the scene.

Video shows rows of Hummers vandalized by spray paint with words like "I love pollution" and "polluter".

Yellow hummers were vandalized with black spray paint.

Black hummers were vandalized with white spray paint.

Video shows a large building on the site burning.

Willa Sandmeyer is on the scene and reports that fire authorities are coordinating investigation with FBI.

Fire still burning.

0642 hrs New video just put on TV... fire knocked down... but numerous vehicles vandalized.

How far can these environmental terrorists go before our gov't prosecutes these criminals for this conduct?

Burning down businesses, vandalizing vehicles for sale, and threatening honest people is not tolerable by our barometer.

While it is tolerable to be "compassionate" towards our environmental issues, it is NOT tolerable to permit this form of domestic terrorism.

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

Time to do some very public raids on these eco-terrorists.

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.

I would like to infiltrate one of these groups.

In fact, I think I will.

Then get them all busted.

Based on their satisfaction ratings and testimonials of H2 owners, are we sure it wasn't a group of disgruntled H2 owners?

Actually, its the Patriot Act that's allowing Ashcroft more powers in going after these idiots. And its the same idiots who are protesting the Patriot Act.

Ship 'em all to Antarctica. Let them find their own way back.

I'd prefer to see the dealers in afflicted areas post armed guards with "shoot to kill" orders.

Then again, I'm a bit of a radical when it comes to property Rights. I'm one of those nuts who believes it is perfectly OK to blow some scumbag away if they trash your place of business.

If this is legimate protest, all ELF members cars should be spraypainted and their houses burned.

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

[Budge]

It is far past time these idiots are arrested and punished!

Talk about brainwashed!

Watch it! ;-) Mr. Peel wants one. He really, really wants one.

Arnold owns an H2. I'm surprised the enviro wackos haven't torched his vehicle yet.

Well if you are a radical, what am I? I'd like to see the entire family of these people punished severely, a'la Stalin.

Given half a chance, I know Arianna Huffington would - she's attend the torching of Arnold's Hummer in a limo.

Spraypainting their yugos, held together by 'Visualize World Peace' and 'Gore Won' bumper stickers, would be an improvement.

And, how many tree houses would we have to torch.

I prefer to make them roommates with someone named Bubba.

Laz, you will not be able to take the smell of these people. They are kinda like the French. If you flinch when you smell them, you are busted and they will know you are undercover.

I bet you have a lot of company.

Many states do allow deadly force to stop an arson. Not that I would bother thumbing through a lawbook while it was happening. I doubt I would even bother to make sure there were Hydrashocks in the 1911A1.

[Hacksaw]

If they haven't already, any dealership that carries SUV's needs to start putting up cameras that they turn on at night. Keep them in a hidden location and aimed at the SUV's.

You ever see Silence of the Lambs? Remember the one scene where they are exhuming the decaying corpse, and they spread that smell-masking white cream beneath their noses, on their upper lip?

That's what I'll do.

ELF has attacked and vandalized my wife's place of business on more than one occasion. We should deal with them as we deal with other types of terrorists.

Oh no!
