SNOHOMISH, Wash. -- A piece of heavy equipment was used to topple two towers for Everett radio station KRKO, and the national Earth Liberation Front says their members are responsible..."Due to the health and environmental risks associated with radio waves emitted from the towers, we applaud this act by the ELF," Jason Crawford, a spokesman for the North American ELF Press Office, said in a prepared statement...Since its formation in 1996, the ELF has become well-known for highly publicized destructive actions against corporate efforts that it views as harmful to the environment. ELF, by its own estimate, has inflicted some $150 million in damage...The ELF has claimed responsibility for several arsons in the region, including a fire that destroyed the Center for Urban Horticulture at the University of Washington in Seattle in 2001.
How stupid is this?

This is the same group that set fires in Vail, Colorado where I live and did $12 mil damages. This group started in England. I wish they would have stayed there. These are the same people who released the 300 minks in Wisconsin to save them from death yet sent a bunch to their death because the mink couldn't survive in the wild. I hope the person is caught and thrown in jail for a long time.
I was pretty upset about those fires. We ski at Vail every year.
These people are terrorists. I hope all of them are caught someday and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
These people operate like the Animal Liberation Front. Same tactics.
I believe the ALF and PeTA also had humble beginnings in the UK. Those crazy Englanders!
Destruction of property to draw attention to a problem is ridiculous. These people have hurt and terrorized many people. Both organizations are loosely knit and have copy cat-type of activists. I think the incident in Washington was a rogue.
