For Bruce J. eco-terrorists arrested

While I sympathize with their motives, their actions are wrong and, frankly, do not serve their causes well. I will also say that simple property destruction does not automatically "terror" make. Expensive and needless vandalism, perhaps - but application of the "terror" moniker for many things - like knocking over a transmission tower - is hyperbole. Starting fires or bombing is borderline, however, and certainly unwarranted. Sometimes what starts out as "simple property destruction" ends up injuring or killing people. Knock over a transmission tower and you end up with live wires on the ground that can kill people. A vacant building may have someone like a homeless transient in it for example. Starting a fire could kill someone in the "empty" building. A fireman showing up to fight the fire could get killed. The fire company showing up to fight the deliberately set fire would not be able to attend to another accidental fire that threatens people. A rule of life is that if you initiate an action of violence it is then out of your control and sometimes takes on a life of its own. Destroying peoples property has consequences intended and otherwise the least of which is physiological and that my friend is terror. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
