Animal-rights terrorists firebomb scientists’ car, home in Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz, CA is like a low-rent Berkeley, with bolder terrorists. Back in February they invaded a researcher’s home and terrorized his children. Before that there were church burnings and police-car flambees.
So it’s no surprise that the anonymous animal rights klansmen have graduated to firebombing university researchers’ homes and cars.
The family was home at the time of the firebombing and the victims, including two young children, escaped on a fire ladder from a second-story window, according to police. One family member suffered injuries during the escape and had to be hospitalized briefly, police said. That bombing is being considered an attempted homicide because the family was home, police said.
You developing cures for cancer? AIDS? Malaria? If you use laboratory mice, then guess what: you’re a a target. Better buy a gun now.

OK where are our crack anti-terrorist FBI specialists? Time to go all out and find these b*stards and stop them before they try this again. ..And once they find them, make sure they are made an example of by putting them on trial for attempted pre-meditated murder and televise the procedings (let the whole world see how unbalanced these scum of the Earth really are.
Perhaps we shood take this opportunity to re-introduce the good members of the faculty to the 2nd ammendment.
Sounds like the same type of PETA -terrorists -threatening to cut off an 11 year old’s head:

Don’t PETA-Sierra Club-and et.al get some sort of tax-payer (our $$$) funding? Kind of like the anti – Christian NEA (Nat.E.for the Arts). Or the anti-American NEA (Nat.Ed.Assoc.)
OK – it’s time to elect people who will actually cut funding to these groups.

Good idea!!
The truly comedic part is that these research faculty types probably consider themselves good Leftists, too. I would wager they are obama voter types, whose only crime is refusing to embrace the radical anti-humanist articles of faith;
“a boy is a pig is a dog”.
Come by my house some time, Animal Rights morons. I’ve got a 7,62 NATO round with your name on it. (Actually, I have thousands) I’ll volunteer to give any cancer or AIDS researcher lessons in the use of deadly force. One dead hippie should scare the rest of them senseless.
“That bombing is being considered an attempted homicide because the family was home, police said”
Attempted homicide? Better tack terrorism on to that charge sheet, because that’s exactly what this is. The culture of terrorism is not restricted to islamic jihad.
You know, if it was an ABORTION CLINIC that these cretins fire-bombed, with the staff and victims inside, it would be the #
(Okay, I’ll try this again)
You know, if it was an ABORTION CLINIC that these cretins fire-bombed, with the staff and victims inside, it would be the top story in the MSM every day for the next 6 months…. NY Times front page, above the fold.
The problem is where you live. In Santa Cruz, it cannot be easy to have a gun. I’m a concealed carry holder, and I’m armed. I doubt it is easy to own a gun, let alone carry one, in moonbat territory!
In NYC, possession of a weapon is instant jail time – three years I believe. As a consequence, only crims have guns, and law-abiding people are left defenseless. Even mace is illegal. I was shocked when reading the news a couple of years ago and the police were congratulating themselves because there were under 600 murders that year in NYC. Since when is 500-600 murders a year an achievement worthy of celebrating?
I found two here in Washington state.
Video confessions here.
Sounds like a hate crime to me.
When found, the faces and names of these terrorists need to be everywhere.
As well as, let’s id where the doctrine that led them to take these actions came from.
The same thought crossed my mind too. I wonder if this incident will give them pause to rethink their political positions.
nyc123me:
That’s why I’d never live in NYC.
Would love to know if the Volvo had an “Obama” sticker on it. Interesting to know if the terrorists are targeting libs they know are not armed.
It isn’t actually hard to own a gun here in CA. There are two problems:
1. They make it so hard to get at it because of how you must store it that it may be useless to you.
2. If these researchers are in fact leftist in their own right, they wouldn’t buy one anyway.
See Dubya, I can’t find the right blog for this topic. Check it out Bernie was filling in for Imus on Friday, and played HiCaliber’s Rap for McCain. You can hear it and download it here. It is really good.

Santa Cruz. If they decided to give the world an enema, it’d be a toss-up between there, Berkeley, or San Francisco.
Another fetid cesspool of leftist ideals, human-waste tainted sidewalks, and other assorted scum and villainy.
Time to take back the 2nd. Heller pretty much rips all this up, though it could take years to get it through the politicians skulls…
From what I’ve seen, it’s A-OK to have one to guard your pot plants in the hills there. Just so long as you’re not protecting people.
No, but it sure seems to be limited to liberal, politically correct, peacenik types.
This is horrific. In fact, describing this as “horrific” doesn’t do it justice – there are no words to fully describe the scum who consider firebombing and terrorizing researchers.
Guess I’ll be buying my next pack of D-Con across the city line.
Here’s an idea. When we find these dirtbags (my apologies to the dirtbag community) we tie their hands and feet and cover them with meat juice, then let them loose with some of the animals they are trying to save. Michael Vick’s pitbulls would be a start.
when this scum is caught, make sure they don’t try and resist or escape capture, they’d have to be shot then…YES!
At least jihadis sometimes have the courage to blow themselves up — these freaks don’t even have that much going for them.
Better yet, let’s catch these animal-rights activists and “allow” them the opportunity to change places with the lab rats during the experiments. Surely, they must care about the critters so much, they would be willing to sacrifice themselves for the cause. After all, they don’t seem to care about other humans getting hurt.
Too bad they didn’t stand close and watch – would have shown true commitment.
Uh, hardly….I live in SC County and it’s like the 3rd or 4th most expensive place to live in the country. That’s because, when ranking, they examine median income levels as compared to median home prices. Our home prices have fallen, somewhat, but the renters are not enjoying any break from the exorbitant rents, trust me.
On the issue of this terrorist act, and yes you are all correct to call it that, it is one of the few times in the 10 years I’ve lived here that I am actually pleased with the attention a serious crime is being given. It’s about friggin’ time.
And, while I’m sort of defending the People’s Republic of Santa Cruz, it’s easy to buy and own a gun here. We have a hearty NRA chapter. It’s one of the good things. Y’all come on down and visit, now!

Well actually it is even worse that that. Carry permits are routinely give to the rich & well connected… Freedom, the ultimate status symbol.
The people who did this should not be allowed to use prescription drugs for the rest of their lives.
do you need a prescription for lethal injection…
just curious.

You’ve got that right–bomb an abortion clinic –instant MSM coverage and liberal out-rage!

A hearty NRA!
It’s time for me to drive up and visit your town–LA is not a second amendment -loving environment.
and while you are there see if the nice NRA folks can spare a lawyer for NYC…
I feel another commercial coming on:
(Pan outside view of Visine Testing Laboratories in Santa Cruz).
Announcer: “We have recently opened up a new laboratory in Santa Cruz, California. Why? Because of the abundance of militant PETA terrorists”.
Cut to video showing PETA protestors complete with Che and Mao posters and signs.
Announcer: “Recent government regulations allow convicted terrorists to be placed in drug and product testing.”
Cut to show eyedrops being placed in tester’s eyes (a la “Clockwork Orange”).
Subject: “AAARRRGGGHHH! NO! NO! Hey, that’s not so bad…soothing too”.
Announcer: Of course, there are negative results as well”.
Cut to show gravesite with tombstones that bear hammer and sickle logos.
Announcer: “At the Visine Labs, we not only get the red out, but we get the Reds out as well”.

(Sigh)…if only…
If they attack again, hopefully the victims will be armed and ready to defend their lives.
Those backward anarchist need to be tracked down and brought to justice. Attempted homicide, two young children. Oh yeah, that trial should be a tad more meaningful than the that OJ circus.
Well put:
So what is the difference? Skin complexion?
the mercury news link is FUBAR’d
What are the consequences if you actually use one in self defense? Down here we have what’s called the “Castle Doctrine”. If they enter your castle, you can blow them up. In practice, that means anywhere on your property. For that matter, as a recent court case has established, you can pop them for burglarizing your neighbor, too.
I’ll use lgm’s logic:
These actions show just how cruel and evil the left and Democrats can be.
…there, how do you like it, lgm?
It would be so cool to conduct a mounted raid on these whackos’ houses. I’d love to see the look on their faces when a section of Bradleys rolled up in the front yard and a bunch of angry and well-armed scouts came up to knock the front door in.
Well, why risk the scouts, I think I’ll put a 500 pound JDAM on it first and then go count the bodies left in the rubble.
I think the Spooky gunship orbiting above, a cell phone call asking them to look out the window and upwards. Then the statement, you can run, but you’ll only die tired. Kinda like Panama.
Any media condemn this?
Any liberal candidate condemn this?
Bueller? Anyone?
Imagine pulling the same crap on them, just imagine how much they’d scream about violating their rights etc etc.. cowardly scum.

funny the silence….
The disturbing part is that the family, yes the childern were home… not good. Well the libs like laws, so hows about “any act of violence other than self defense “.that harms, or endangers a person 16 years of age or under, who is not involved in a criminal offense themselves at the time, shall require that the offender(s) be put to death upon conviction.”
can ya dig it?
Time for some frontier justice. Lynch the PETArds.
One of the main problems here is that the media has a warped kind of “Oh, but they’re overzealous but noble Robin Hoods who steal from the rich, give it to the poor” mindset regarding eco crusaders. They have a laid back “Oh they got a bit carried away but their intentions are good” view of this. You hear a lot of similar crap coming from kids from school. I mean look at all the attention the media gives a couple of dozen of stupid oily ducks from a tanker spill, as though their loss would cause a domino effect that’d ruin all life on earth yet hardly report that the worst spill has a fly’s turd effect impact on even life in the region. Another truly warped thing here is how they value a lab rat’s /cat’s/ chimp’s life with that of a human being — kind of like how they value keeping caribou all cuddly and humping up on some frozen desert atop a oil bounty over the lives of soldiers fighting and dying to keep a source open thousands of miles away. So no, I don’t expect the media to scream about crucifying these eco bastards anywhere near the disdain they have for abortion _protesters_ for example.

If you type “research fire santa cruz” into news.google.com, you’ll find that this story is being covered pretty well.
I do find the comparison between fire-bombing abortion clinics versus the homes of researchers who use animals rather interesting. It’s as if you’re claiming abortion clinic fire bombings, which I suppose is a ultra-right form of terrorism, and contrasting that with the ultra-left’s version of terrorism in this case. It’s as if you’re claiming abortion clinic bombers as our own, if that makes sense. While, yes, there is a definite bias against things on the right side of the political spectrum, I would not use this as an example in order to further the conservative cause. It’s like saying, “Geez, you guys keep focusing on our abortion clinic bombings and don’t even bother with the left’s fire bombing of animal-testing scientists.”
I’m sure you didn’t intend to sound this way, but one can definitely make this link from what you’ve said.
The political spectrum is a funny thing. It’s more like a circle rather than a spectrum in that the ultra-left (communism) and ultra-right (fascism) look almost identical in their words and deeds.
I agree that these thugs need to be taken out and sent to Gitmo for some quality conversation time before being sent to rot in solitary for the rest of their pathetic lives.
I send my prayers and well wishes to the targeted family and pray for their speedy recovery.

Will do…
All modernity they doth eschew,
Freeing animals from labs and the zoo,
People in huts and grass skirts,
You’ll die from the squirts,
Back to the Stone Age for me and for you.
EVERYBODY should have guns-plural- to protect home and hearth from all kinds of weirdos, wackos, criminals and elected officials- except lgm of course. Next January could be very hard on honest folk.
These eco terrorist are one in the chain of fascist threats to life, liberty and private property. They will and do attack their fellow human beings and their property with a zeal. The Phoenix-Paradise Valley area was hit with a string of arson fires on new homes. Mark Warren Sands was a closet eco terrroist-even his family didn’t suspect. But he was eco friendly so he decided he had a right to destroy peoples homes.
Our local eco freaks consider the punk a hero. A federal judge sentenced the punk to 18 years in prison.

You missed the point by a mile. Conservatives don’t “claim” abortion-clinic bombers as “ours.”
The contrast here is about the services provided by the bombers’ victims (i.e. life-saving research vs. death).
I found 180 links with only a handfew that were about the attack. I did the same on live search and got more stories on the attack but they were all westcoast papers or internet newsblogs.
Anyone on the eastcoast found any other sources?
Our “Peace Loving” radical left…sheesh!
FBI is now called in. I can’t tell you how it warms my heart to see the Santa Cruz “Police” finally take crime in this town seriously.
And, on all the local newscasts, it is being called by its proper name: “Terrorist Act”, even “attempted murder”, since people were at home when the house was set ablaze.
“santa cruz is like a low-rent Berkeley”
hahahaha most true statement ever
I figured as much, but the original comment did not make this clarification. That is why I chose to question the comment’s underlying meaning and motivation. I try never to assume anything, because it “makes an ass of you and me”.
I find animals have more conscience & G-d given intelligence than most of the humans with whom I have contact.
It’s a shame that these terrorists are forcing society to think: if you care for animals you are an extremist.
Once I wore a beautiful fur coat to work and had a snotty upstart ask me ‘you’re wearing fur?! I can’t believe you’d wear fur.’ I then asked her ‘do you support abortion?’ She knew she’d have to explain herself, so she just said ‘yes’ and stomped off.
In most instances, I would agree with you. In this instance though, I would much rather these Birkenstock clad, hemp wearing, tofu eating pieces of debris were caught, tried, and spent considerable time learning the finer points of being Bubba’s shower toy in some federal prison.
I always say they don’t love animals, they hate people.
