Is it Just me or is everyone practicaly Ignoring the Domestic Terrorism going on Inside the US itsellf?

the Enviromental Extremests like the ELF & ALF, For Example.

Enviromental Extremests Burning down Car Wearhouses, New Housing Developments and most recently; BobyTrapping OHV Trail Gates.

Yet is the Goverment Hunting down these Psycos?

If they are, I certanly havn't Heard anything about it...:scrutiny:
 
Yes ! These extreme environmental and animal rights groups are very alarming and I feel quite a bit of anger toward them and the tacticas they are employing. I think it is just a matter of time before they murder or main some innocent for life. I live in the Pacific Northwest and there have been a string of terrorist events : every thing from arson at a University of Washington animal lab and a rural housing development to theft at a privately owned mink farm. ( A radical animal rights cell released thousands of mink from cages causing a huge financial loss to it's owner. The irony is that nearly all the domestic mink released into the wild were dead within days as they were incapable of surviving in the wild...many torn to peices by native wildlife . Others expired from starvation ! )
I can only hope the Feds have infiltrated one of these organizations. The challenge is of course is that they operate as independent cells that are nearly inpenatrable. However these radicals need to be STOPPED before they take lives....and I believe they will stop at nothing !
It strikes me that the people who are involved in these kind of activities arn't as much concerned with the cause as they are with commiting violent acts. These extremeists are highly immature, radical, and without an ethical foundation and therefore pose a great threat to our citizens !
 
Might as well ignore it. Its not as news worthy as the prision abuse situation.
 
Since when is Bobytrapping a Public Gate with a Motion Detonated Bomb Not going to catch anyone's attention???:scrutiny:
 
Nothing has been done about these ecoterrorists for decades. It's ridiculous, and I don't know what can make the proper authorities put a stop to it. Terrorism is terrorism, whether or not it's for "mother nature" or not.

I've been screaming about domestic terrorism for 20 years, but nobody gave acrap back then. The terrorists of the 80's were an organization called the Army of God who murdered doctors who worked in Planned Parenthood clinics. They also bombed these clinics, including one that was caught on camera because the terrorists used a double stacked "sucker punch" bomb where the small bomb went off first and the main bomb went off 20 minutes later after rescue crews and news crews were there in scene. It is a pre-meditated tactic to increase the body count by attracting a crowd then exploding the larger bomb.

Funny, I don't remember the Reagan Justice department or the FBI doing anything back then.

I don't care for tree huggers planting pipe bombs, but that still takes a back seat to snipers who use high powered rifles on doctors walking into a clinic or thugs who plant bombs designed to kill emergency workers who come to help the injured.

Army of God letters support accused bomber Eric Rudolph

The FBI has offered a $1 million dollar reward for information leading to Rudolph's arrest.

ANDREWS, North Carolina (CNN) -- Letters found at two Andrews locations Monday morning expressed support for Eric Robert Rudolph -- one of the FBI's 10 most wanted fugitives and the suspect in bombings at Atlanta's Olympic park and two clinics where abortions are performed.

The letters, claiming to be from the Army of God underground anti-abortion group, were found at The Andrews Journal newspaper and at Roper's Boot Store, where Rudolph once bought a pair of hiking boots.

The letters were topped with the words "Eric Robert Rudolph" and "May God be with you" in large type. There was no other mention of Rudolph in the letters, which vowed a continued effort -- "including lethal force" -- to stop abortions.

Kathy Roper said the suspicious note was taped to the store's front door. Police told her to take it off the door without touching it directly, put it in a folder and hold it for the FBI.

Sally Hudson of The Andrews Journal said the letter it received was in the newspaper's mailbox. There was no envelope.

Rudolph has been charged with the Atlanta Olympic Park bomb in July 1996 that killed one person and wounded more than 100 others.

He is also accused of the January 1997 bombing outside a suburban Atlanta clinic that performed abortions, the bombing of an Atlanta lesbian nightclub a month later and the January 1998 bombing of a Birmingham, Alabama, clinic that performs abortions.

An off-duty policeman was killed in the Birmingham blast and a nurse was badly wounded.

A massive manhunt for Rudolph in the mountains around Andrews has yielded nothing.

Someone claiming to be with the Army of God previously sent letters claiming responsibility for the bombings in Atlanta and Birmingham. Some federal law enforcement officials believe Rudolph sent some of those previous letters.

WRT the eco-terrorists, the FBI has had a good number of people working on this in the past. I've no idea of the effect of the WOT on the effort.

A major problem is that these guys are quite intelligent, albeit nutzoid. They operate in the cell-style, with few outsiders of any one group knowing more than one or two people of another group. And, unless one has been known for a very long time, there's no way to penetrate. They operate much like some of the Mexican dope gangs whose only members are blood-relations, known to one another since "way back when".

The arena for the Rudolph types is loosely knit, with far more sympathizers than activists. You have "front men" and then some loners like Rudolph, and a broadspread network of sympathizers. Rudolph could evade for a long time because of the hidden support of this latter group.

maybe instead of focusing on white guys with guns who like to drink beer, wear BDU's, and shoot sks'es (the stereotypical militia member), The FBI could focus on radical activists such as the ELF who actually violate rights. I hate the word "terrorists" as it's such a loaded word these days. It used to be that bombers, assassins, and hijackers were terrorists. Now the word has been so cheapened that 12 year olds with spray paint are "terrorists", people fighting to drive out foreigners from their country are "terrorists", etc. etc.
