$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Olaf', 'S')o, if you just burn down a house for kicks, you're an arsonist, you know with rights and stuff. You burn it down for a reason, then you're a terrorist. The likes of which now have little rights in this country if the government so classifies you, and they don't even have to have much in the way of evidence or anything.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('killJOY', 'C')heck this one out:

"Eco terrorists" burn McMansions.

Excuse me, but if you're an "eco-terrorist" group and you want to get away with arson, do you spraypaint your name all over the place???

Qui bono?

ELF certainly doesn't "bono."

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('DomusAlbion', '
')I'm with you killJoy. Those houses were part of the Puget Sound's silly "Street of Dreams" festival and have been sitting unsold since last spring. This might have been the act of desperate builder more than a group of eco-terrorists. The mob did this back east decades ago. Buy up apartment buildings in the Bronx and then torch them for the insurance.

Re: attacks on rich peoples mansions:

It certainly makes more sense to go after a large, sure-to-be-full-of-goodies house than a small-needs-paint-and-a-yard house...

Sounds like arson to me-lucky, the builder had a leftover "ELF" sign to leave in one of the yards...

Reminds me of the little darlin dancing on the roof in Independence Day. "Oooo such a pritty light!"

One thing I know is, when I was poor (min. wage or a little above it) I lived in a rooming house, rode an old bike, etc., it was pretty obvious I was not worth robbing, and I never had a worry about it. But my friends with a lot of "stuff" all had their burglary stories, alarm systems, etc.

In fact it seems strange to me, being worried about being robbed, since most of my life I was not worth robbing.
