DEATH of Other ~LivingBeings~.

EveryBody SHOULD Know (Inherintely) Thee DIFFERENCE Between
RIGHT - WRONG

$Profit From Death = W R O N G

Mallory:
I’ve never said that the actions you listed aren’t crimes, and I also haven’t said that the problem here is those activists going to prison for their crimes. The problem is that the government is singling out one group of people for much, much harsher treatment than others who commit the same crimes, and it’s politically motivated.

Bigger than that, though, the true danger of all this “terrorism” rhetoric is that it’s having a chilling effect, and making people afraid to use their First Amendment rights. Regardless of how you feel about illegal tactics, or environmentalism, that should be a concern to everyone.

The solution would appear to be simple: Stop commiting crimes in the pursuit of the ‘green’ movement. If you are destroying property, threatening people, commiting arson, grave-robbing, theft, and assault, then you deserve to go to prison. If you use the threat, or the fear, of having such crimes commited to further your cause, then you are using terror tactics, and are therefore a terrorist.

I’m pro-green, and pro-animal rights, but I strongly disagree with the criminal tactics used by the green extremists. Hurting people - whether physically, emotionally, or financially - is wrong. No matter how important your cause is to you, the ends do not justify the means.

Mel: Sorry for the eye twitch I definitely don’t enjoy being the bearer of infuriating news, but at the same time it is always refreshing to hear that there are still folks that give a damn about the way things are going. Will

I just thought that you would enjoy to know that my eye actually began twitching while I was reading that. (It happens on occasion when I am extremely vexed.)

There is so much wrong with this article. First, let me say upfront that it is ridiculous that certain activists are labeled as terrorists when their motives and methods have nothing to do with terrorism. However, this article emits a huge aura of playing the victim. Poor, poor environmentalists…. Hardly anybody actually believes activists are eco-terrorists. The people referred to as eco-terrorists are those who actually are terrorists: the ones who set fire to people’s vehicles because they’re so self-righteous they think that it’s their place to decide what vehicle someone should drive, and there are violent consequences if you disagree with them. The people who don’t seem to understand that setting fire to those vehicles puts far more pollutants in the atmosphere than the vehicle running in good condition ever would over the course of 100000 miles.
