Vandals Torch, Topple Towers Outside Phoenix ( Illegal backlash? )
Radio Ink,com ^ | 30 March 2006 | Unknown

The Arizona Republic reports that authorities say vandals torched and toppled four 197-foot radio towers that are part of a seven-tower cluster in Black Canyon City, Arizona causing damage in the “millions of dollars.”

Off the air because of the incident is Entravision’s KMIA-AM Phoenix, which broadcasts ESPN Deportes.

Station manager Tom Duran said it could take "several weeks” for the station to get back on the air. Duran continued, "It's disheartening to know that somebody would do damage like this to a federally licensed facility.”

Came across this and first though it may have been morons thinking they got the towers of the former Phoenix Air America station. Then I looked up ESPN Deportes and found out it was the Spanish language ESPN local affiliate. Could be a reach, but I do remember most towers have signs on the fence that do identify the owners. May just be random vandalism, or backlash against the illegal alien protests.

It could also be ecoterrorists looking for a way to shift the blame.

Just want to remind everyone, and I'm sure I can safely speak for all here that we members of Free Republic deplore destruction or damage of anyone's property, even leftists.

Exactly correct imo. Can't condone under any circumstances.

IT WILL.

The "la raza" crowd wants this flag flying over all of the Southwest. Mexifornia, Arizona, New MEXICO, Nevada and Texas.

They won't get Texas, they "Remember the Alamo".

We've got them here in Illinois as well. Our governor is very sympathetic to illegals and they can now get low interest home loans for those who do not require a social security number in order to obtain the loan. We've been invaded with the assistance of our own government. I see possible revolution in the future or we don't have a future.

There's no doubt about it. This is going to get real ugly.

I forgot that angle except I thought ecoterorists mostly went after power transmission towers. Those attacks happen more often than is reported.

Probably just some Russian/Ukrainian immigrants tearing the thing down to get the copper wire for scrap - we've had that happen in Northern California several times in the past few years. No offense to the Russians/Ukrainians but this is their SOP so I'd seriously look at them first.

I don't deplore the destruction of private homes that are targeted for airstrikes because they are sheltering Al Qaeda terrorists. Bombs away!

Well that's jsut fine and dandy, but are we at war? We have been invaded by 15 million with 1.2 million invading us each year, and this admin is doing nothing about it and these people claim that the land is theirs.

At some point, somebody will recognize they are at war with us. The politicians are aiding and abetting the enemy. If it is a war, then you never deplore fighting back.

Background on Entravision and a mention of KMIA changing to a sports talk format from a Spanish oldies format.

Thanks for that. So it's not just the Spanish language ESPN but also news and talk. That does make it look less random and more specifically targeted.
