#1 not to approve of the wanton and illegal destruction of property, but as far as I know ELF has never actually deliberately killed anyone. They may be loonies, but theyre not even in the same class with "moderate" Hamas leaders, let alone more "serious" islamic terrorists.

#2 Liberalhawk, that might be true but the attack in San Diego mentioned in the article occured right next to a fully inhabitted apartment complex that had to be evacuated. A lot of the apartments had their plastic blinds melted simply from the heat it was so close.If the winds had shifted we'd be talking hundreds dead. So technically they have not deliberately killed anyone but they are pretty casual about the lives of others.

#3 Elf should be easy to find. Look for the funny hat and pointy shoes. The FBI doesn't want to find them.

#4 Who the hell cares if they "ONLY" destroy property? They still deserve to be hunted down like dogs and incarcerated for as long as a (probably liberal) California judge would sentence them!

#5 Flaming Sword & Liberalhawk: It DOES seem that here in California the authorities aren't trying very hard to stop the now thriving ecoterrorist movement. Could it be that they have sympathizers within the Democratic Party controlled state police? Not as far out as it sounds; these terrorists are the sons and daughters of wealthy liberals for the most part. Hell, maybe powerful wealthy liberals at that.

#6 I would love to put an ELF'er under the treads of my mud tire-equipped 4WD SUV.

#7 Just throw them into the Amazon jungle with 19th century equipment. Then leave them to have 'fun' with nature.

#8 LH - there were 3 construction workers living on the SD site they burned. ELF members should be put down publicly - don't make any excuses...the next house they "accidently" burn could be yours

#9 Idiots.

As I said after the SD fire, they protect the environment by putting more carcenogens, soot, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, cyanide,etc., into the air with the fire than any of those cars could have produced in its entire useful life.

So its okay to torch condos in Vail, townhomes on Long Island, apartments in SD, cars and SUV's in Seattle as long as they don't kill anyone?

These dimwits are lunatic fringe nutcases that have watched way too much bambi.

How long until everyone walks up to the fact that these environazis want us living in caves, eating raw veggies and running around naked??? We shouldn't build shelter, we shouldn't build fires, we shouldn't eat meat, and we can use fertilizer to grow crops or skin animals for clothing.

They ARE at war with the industrialized state. They want everyone but them to be living in abject oppressive squallor and they have no problem with thousands of people dying if it would preserve the environment.

Problem is they cannot seem to reconcile evolution and extinction. Some species of animals disappear when they reach an evolutionary deadend or fail to adapt. We have falcons hunting pigeons in downtown LA and thriving because they adapt and the Condor is becoming extinct because its highly specialized niche in the foodchain doesn't work anymore.

One day soon these little darlings are going to kill someone or even worse do some horrific deed in the name of protecting the environment and THEN maybe someone will give these dillusional children some attention.

#10 I haven't seen any indication that the world could support more than 1 billion at the tech level they advocate. That means the other 5 are pretty much SOL.
I hate to think what the environmental impact would be from the death-throes of 5 billion people.
