This just ticks me off
The Justice Department on Friday announced a 65-count indictment against 11 environmental activists accused of ecoterrorism attacks in five states.
The charges include conspiracy to commit arson; arson; attempted arson; use and possession of a destructive device; and destruction of an energy facility.
"The indictment tells a story of four-and-a-half years of arson, vandalism, violence and destruction claimed to have been executed on behalf of the Animal Liberation Front or Earth Liberation Front, extremist movements known to support acts of domestic terrorism," Attorney General Alberto Gonzales told reporters.
It doesn’t tick me off that they got busted and indicted; it ticks me off that wackos like ELF, ALF, and the other extremist environmental groups do things that make the sane environmentalists, people who have a handle on reality, all look like wackos, thereby harming the very movement that they are part of.
Not everyone who likes a nice, clean environment (me), or wants to save a species, like the manatees (me), or even hates nuclear power (not me) is a nutjob, or dangerous. But, that’s the way it appears.
Michelle Malkin has a copy of the indictment.
