  • I'm a huge tree hugger, but

    destruction of property is destruction of property. Risking people's lives is risking people's lives. Trespassing is Trespassing. It doesn't matter if you're a sweet pretty woman with a baby or a scary dark skinned terrorist, the actions are voilent, controlling, antidemocratic and ILLEGAL. Be sure that terrorist feels just as rightous as the eco lady.

    Right is Right and Wrong is Wrong. And burning down someone else's property, trespassing, controlling other's freedom, risking firefighters' lifes is WRONG, wrong, wrong. Anyone who does that, regardless of their claim of rightousness, should be punished as severelay as a terrorist who does the same thing.
