| Peace thru Vandalism: Old Hippie admits to sabatoging electrical towers |
| 2003-11-19 |
| SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - A Yes, trying to cut power to millions of people by destroying the towers is surely a peaceful way to protest the war Poulin told The Associated Press in a telephone interview before his arrest that he considered his actions necessary to point out how the nation’s power system is vulnerable to terrorists. "Come see the violence inherent in the system! LOOK! LOOK! I’M BEING OPPRESSED!" Poulin says he was preparing to turn himself in when he was arrested Nov. 2 by a California Highway Patrol officer. I bet 1 more protesting old hippie could have made all the difference in London Poulin has been a member of Peace and Justice Action League of Spokane and participated in several anti-war rallies this year. Can they all be charged with conspiracy, I wonder? He served eight years of a life sentence for attempted murder in the 1970s, the FBI said. So, he’s planning to move up in weight class by causing dozens or hundreds of deaths with this little prank, eh? |

| #3 "...what he has said was an effort to draw attention to lax security for the nation’s energy infrastructure." Maybe he can show us the danger of falling off a 5 story building onto pavement. |

| #1 "Poulin has been a member of Peace and Justice Action League of Spokane and participated in several anti-war rallies this year." Aquaman was unavailable for comment, but a spokeswoman for The Flash said, "We deplore the use of violence for political purposes. Unless, of course, it takes place high above Gotham and all participants wear tights." |
