Radical Environmentalists Strike Again

One of the major stories yesterday was the huge fire in Los Angeles. This fire destroyed an apartment building under construction. The conflagration was the size of a city block, and closed several major freeways downtown. Fire crews were staging equipment on the Harbor Freeway. The heat was intense enough to melt freeway signs.

This morning the story was updated, to include the fact that the fire is now being investigated as a possible criminal act. My first impression on seeing the report yesterday morning was, 'looks like E.L.F. is up to their same old bullshit.'

It was eleven years ago that the radical environmental whackos known as Earth Liberation Front torched a condominium project under construction in San Diego. They were so proud of their destructive act, they took responsibility, using banners saying, "If you build it, we will burn it." Terrorist groups really like to advertise their prowess, don't they? Just like Jihadi John televising his beheadings, they all want you to remember their name.

I predict this criminal act will be tied to E.L.F. or whatever its current iteration or inspiration calls itself. Perhaps we should also offer a citation to famous film director James Cameron, for his incitement of this behavior. The director of "Avatar," endorses violence as a legitimate way to reduce the imprint of people on the planet.

When "Avatar," was released, a reviewer asked Cameron what he thought of the idea that "Avatar is the perfect eco-terrorism recruiting tool."

Cameron replied, “Good, good. I like that one. I consider that a positive review. I believe in eco-terrorism."
