Green Terrorists - Attack Home Builders

It finally comes full circle, now domestic terrorists are so frustrated with our society they attacked a Street of Dreams. These people are terrorists, but I'm sure they started out green, or open space, or "protect our heritage", or "keep them people from next door out"

We have a bunch of budding types here in Porter County like that. I'd be curious to hear where Ralph Nadar and Barack Obama stand on these terrorists? Just walk away and let them have their way?

Here's the write-up from Zillow today:

"Last August, I wrote a post about visiting the Street of Dreams, an open-to-the-public tour of new, multi-million dollar construction which attracts both those who
can afford such homes, and for those of us who are simply there to drool. Some sad news about this community came in this morning, as 4 of the 5 homes were damaged, three burning to the ground due to suspected “domestic terrorism”. The damage, in total, is expected to be around $7 million. An organization named Earth Liberation Front is apparently taking credit for the damage inflicted on these homes, and according to news reports, it is likely due to some concerns around the development’s affect on the local environment, and the claims the builders made in creating these homes from “green” products.


Now while I am not fully immersed in the green
movement, I do my share to pitch in where I can– I hardly ever drive, have been
called a recycling fanatic by my friends on more than one occasion, I use florescent lightbulbs all
around the house and am generally conscience of the decisions I make and
the effect they will have on the environment. What I cannot relate
to, however, is how this group is using the environment as an excuse to impart
such damage– not only on the builders, but their insurance companies, the
neighbors, the firefighters who risked their lives to put out the flames and
yes… the environment itself. I can’t imagine what this level of smoke
and damage does to an area, but my guess is it isn’t great.
It seems to
me that there would have been a much better, more productive, and less damaging
way to get their point across. It’s really just senseless."

You said it way out of line. Radical "green" behavior gone bad for sure. Kinda defeats the point of harmony with the planet.

Your right there are many avenues to have fought this issue.
