Eco terrorism?

Question

Why do people run around scraping up other people's SUVs?

Answer 1

Until they start blowing them up - with the owners inside - I'd hesitate to call it 'terrorism.'

Answer 2

I'd like to see their @sses hauled in by the cops and given the maximum penalty for vandalism and malicious mischief, but "terrorism" is a bit of a stretch. The eco-wackos and animal rights PETAphiles may be damaging property for political motives, but if you're going to call somebody a terrorist just for damaging your paint job, then by your own definition the American founding fathers who organized the Boston Tea Party and destroyed tons of British tea in the name of protesting a tax were terrorists. "Terrorist" perhaps isn't yet a very well defined term, but I think somebody would have to intimidate people with direct threats to their safety or their lives in the name of some political gain or ideology before he would earn that label.

Answer 3

So what kind of terrorism would you classify this as? Somebody gouged the side of my wife's car in the parking lot at the mall the other night.

They left the scene without leaving a note and all we have is a couple of chips of white paint to identify the terrorist with.

Is that traffic terrorism in your book?

Answer 4

Because their for of violence is politically correct.

Eco terrorists are the most active terrorists in the US. they have destoyed homes, businesses and attacked and severly damamged some resorts.

I think the book should be thrown at them, literally. Until recently their political allies on the left have put pressure on the jsutice system to treat them with kid gloves.

My understanding, the gloves are coming off.
