   Sometimes the system gets it right…Maybe the sick bioch should have thought of her 3 year-old, and fear of prison, before becoming a terrorist. Let her rot in prison.

   Ya know, Michelle, that’s a pretty good sized list of eco-terrorists that have been caught and convicted.

   Have we caught and convicted that many international terrorists acting here? Only a few, as I recall.

   Actually what I’m getting at is this is really a bigger problem than most people think. For evey one of them that have been captured, there are many more out there torching homes and terrorizing research professors. One cannot help but wonder why the MSM is so very silent. Or why they characterize these particular terrorists differently when they act.

   “There are days I thought I would rather kill myself than testify against Briana,” said (Lacey) Phillabaum in testimony that stretched out over two days.

   Lacey, babe. Don’t give up so easily. You still have plenty of time to kill your self. Need a belt? I’ll send you one.

   On top of the prison time, the Government should seize any and all assets that belong to those responsible, to pay for damages.

   She should have thought of this before committing an act of terrorism. She will have plenty of time to reflect on how her environmental extremism has destroyed her life and the damage it will do to her daughter as well.

   What do you think the government could get for a nickel bag and a pair of old Birkenstocks?

   While we have caught a few terrorists scoping things out over here, most of the terrorists acting here either kill themselves or our Marines wipe them out before they get over here.

   I pray that it continues that way…

   I doubt these people are going to fare very well if they’re put in the general prison population. I can just hear it now “Bunky, what are you in for? Rape, sodomy, murder, and mutilation. What are you in for? I objected to genetically altering trees.”

   I really hope Briana gets the 30+ years in prison she deserves. Along with the prison terms the financial assets of ELF and their parent organization PITA need to be seized and used to reimburse the government for damages to UW property and costs incurred trying and jailing these mentally deficient individuals.

    MrVIBEMAN,

    Yeah, and I hope we keep wiping them out before they get here.

    I was merely pointing out that we have this genuine home grown terror problem that the regular press seems not to care too much about.

    Oops, I just remembered that we seem to be catching some Jihad types trying to get in from MeHico, and they aren’t really highlighting that either…

    Hmmm….

    A 32-year-old violin teacher from California was found guilty this morning of two counts of arson for the 2001 fire at the University of Washington’s Center for Urban Horticulture.

    Where’s she gonna play her violin now? I don’t think the prison population will be very tolerant of classical music.

    Waters testified that she was never involved in planning or carrying out the UW arson and never supported arson as a militant tactic. She spoke of her fears of imprisonment and separation from her 3-year-old daughter.

    Your co-conspirators say otherwise about your culpability there, Briana. You should have exercised some impulse control. If you had really cared at all about your daughter you wouldn’t have destroyed someone’s property and left her without a mother.

    Should’ve thought about that BEFORE you committed criminal acts. How those acts may someday come back to haunt you. Yeah you didn’t have a kid when you participated, but maybe, just maybe your kid’s better off without your sick influence.

    Loser.

    The prosecutors had two key witnesses — Lacey Phillabaum and Jennifer Kolar — who had already pleaded guilty to being part of the five-person arson team that burned the UW building on May 21, 2001. Both testified that Waters acted as a lookout.

    So, according to them, the government plea-bargained with two of the arsonists to throw the book at the lookout. Typically bass-ackwards.

    Yeah, it’s usually the real baddies who snitch on their more passive cohorts. What happened to honor among thieves?

    She torches a building in May 2001. Has a child who is 3yo now. So, 3 to 4 years after torching a building her baby is born.

    How long after the child is born before she teaches her child to play with matches?

    How long before she brain washes the child into believing blowing things up that you think is wrong is acceptable?

    I am no fan of people having their children removed from them. This may be one of the exceptions.

    It’s too bad she’s not an illegal. The line about her daughter is fantastic. When the teacher at kindergarten asks what her mommy does for a living, she can be proud because she’s part of the military. She builds bombs and torches houses just like…….goddamn morons.

    Tip of the iceberg, but it’s a start.

    I hope they all have to repay the $7mil rebuilding cost between them, otherwise it’s an insurance claim, which ultimately leads to the onus resting on we law-abiding citizens via increased insurance premiums. This makes it personal to each and every one of us.

    Yes, Steinem I believe is near 70 or in her 70s. Nothing’s changed…neither with any of the other flower children of the 60s.

    The old guard is the same old same old. Not that we have anything to look forward to with the nutbags born in the 80s and 90s either.

    in their 70′s not only will they still believe it, they will be more resolute about it.

    liberals don’t learn from their mistakes: this is why we keep seeing the same tired 60′s tactics being used. they don’t learn because they lack something called ‘self reflection’…something normal people learn in the face of failure. but since they never fail – they are only ever derailed by *enter faceless entity here* (and note this entity is always slick enough to do so without leaving evidence) – there’s never a need for them to reflect on what they could have done differently to achieve their stated goals.

    This is the type thing that prevents people of reasonable intellect and possessing rational thought from ever committing acts of terrorism in the first place.

    I suggest putting these ecoterrorists on a pure inorganic diet (or the Terri Schiavo diet). That way they won’t be killing any living things and they won’t require much expensive prison time.

    Her answer is going to be “I’m a political prisoner”.
