According to the FBI the number one domestic terrorist threat to America, is people who love animals and trees. Seriously, this is one story where I only wish that I was making it up.
The Associated Press;
"Groups such as the Animal Liberation Front, the Earth Liberation Front and Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty are "way out in front" in terms of damage and number of crimes, said John Lewis, the FBI's deputy assistant director for counterterrorism."
"There is nothing else going on in this country over the last several years that is racking up the high number of violent crimes and terrorist actions," Lewis said.
Violent? Burning a bunch of Hummers in a car lot is violent? I personally believe that it may be going a bit far, but jeeze they aren't sniping off the car salesmen, well according to the FBI, they aren't sniping them just yet anyway.
Want more? I thought you'd never ask...
"Lewis said the FBI concluded that after analyzing all types of cases and comparing the groups with "right-wing extremists, KKK, anti-abortion groups and the like." He said most animal rights and eco-extremists so far have refrained from violence targeting human life."
Well no shit, I could have told you that people who love puppies value life more than people who attack teenage girls coming out of Planned Parenthood clinics. What are we all in the fourth grade again?
Never mind the fact that right wingers who claim to love life are the ones who kill. Nah, we wouldn't want to say that pro-life activist or the people who want to kill our judges are the greatest threat. If the FBI did that they would probably be deemed 'activist' also, and we damned sure don't need any more 'activist' branches of government.
This is just crazy; we have judges who have to petition the government for more security because right wingers can't handle the law unless they get to write it. These people have lost it and they are the threat to our country, not people who love kittens and baby monkeys.
