More Radical Leftist Domestic Terrorism
I had to post this article from last Sunday's Los Angeles Times on the Earth Liberation Front's destruction of dozens of SUV's and setting fire to a Chevrolet dealership. The website of the "organization" (read: faceless cowards) speaks for itself:
"The Earth Liberation Front is an international underground movement consisting of autonomous groups of people who carry out direct action according to the E.L.F. guidelines. Since 1997, E.L.F. cells have carried out dozens of actions resulting in close to $100 million in damages. [P] Modeled after the Animal Liberation Front, the E.L.F. is structured in such a way as to to maximize effectiveness. By operating in cells (small groups that consist of one to several people), the security of group members is maintained. Each cell is anonymous not only to the public but also to one another. This decentralized structure helps keep activists out of jail and free to continue conducting actions.[P]
"Any direct action to halt the destruction of the environment and adhering to the strict nonviolence guidelines, listed below, can be considered an E.L.F. action. Economic sabotage and property destruction fall within these guidelines.
"Earth Liberation Front Guidelines:
*To inflict economic damage on those profitting from the destruction and exploitation of the natural environment.
*To reveal and educate the public on the atrocities committed against the earth and all species that populate it.
*To take all necessary precautions against harming any animal, human and non-human."
I wonder how many of them support Arianna "I Got My Limo, Now Stop Driving Your SUV" Huffington's gubernatorial campaign.
