PETArd's cousins scrambling for credibility
 

Earth Liberation Front arsonists channel Tolkien in their latest house-burning effort.

We pull our inspiration from all places, but I have to say, there's something quite odd about the choice of J.R.R. Tolkien's Ents from the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy as mascots for the eco-radicals at the Earth Liberation Front.

...more...

They are common criminals........no, lower. :rar:

Indeed, Bruce. Ain't no terrorist like a self-righteous terrorist, hey?

AFAIK, there ain't no terrorist except a self-righteous terrorist. Part of the job description, I would think.

Don't all those arson fires emit greenhouse gasses?

Yeah, especially considering the treated lumber, wire shielding, insulation, roofing materials, etc.

Pollution? I’m a wee bit more concerned about their violation of the sanctity of private property. Why do these scumbags think it’s OK to fuck up my shit? :rar:

Because it's not your shit, it's everyone's shit. Including the Snowy Owl and the spawning salmon and even all of the animals with all of those nasty diseases they release from the research facilities.

And how is burning houses going to help the damn owl? :eyebrow:

Think of it as the deterrent effect of of capital punishment, only that it's capital outlay instead.

Preposterous. Crush them like the vermin they are. :footpyth:

No, not the owls....the arsonists.

Roger, XOB.
agreed.

Common criminals, vandals...no more. Catch them, try them, convict them, and force them to repay their victims at 10 cents a day stamping license plates.

Good point. Some of them are a lot louder than others.

I wonder if the particularly booming ones have a really good remedy for the breast bruises they get from beating themselves there?

Aside from don't breathe the fumes of burning plastic anythings, definitely don't breathe the smoke of burning pressure-treated lumber. That stuff is to kill termites, etcetera that come at the building structure from beneath the foundation, and its smoke will mess you up pretty well too. No wonder people die in house fires, eh?
