John Lewis, the FBI's deputy assistant director for counterterrorism, said animal and environmental rights extremists have claimed credit for more than 1,200 criminal incidents since 1990. The FBI has 150 pending investigations associated with animal rights or eco-terrorist activities, and ATF officials say they have opened 58 investigations in the past six years related to violence attributed to the ELF and ALF.
But even ELF would not commit an act like we had in Boston. I cannot think of any domestic US terror group that would, why would they do it?
I looked up ELF as well, and their actions have overwhelming been focused on property destruction and releasing animals from labs--they go after places where they think business or research is threatening animals or the environment, and they take credit for everything they do. They've never killed anyone--EVER. This wasn't done by ELF, and that's why no one is even mentioning them.
Why did Tim McVeigh bomb the federal building? Why did Al Qaeda attack us? Why did the guy bomb the Olympic Park, or why do people bomb abortion clinics? You're expecting logic from radical people motivated by hate and ideology. They don't think logically.
As he should have been. He was in the express lane, the atack took place in '95 and he was executed in '01, a mere 6 years and light speed by the standards of our "justice" system. The question is why is it that KSM and Hassan have not assumed ambient temperature?
If it is foreigners, you know Obama isn't going to do anything but make a speech about it and possibly send a drone to kill a few people as he's been doing all along, but nothing will change. When he says, "Make no mistake, we will get to the bottom of this," it's just more empty words and almost identical to what he said about Benghazi. He's like the parent who tells his kid he'll ground him if he does something, and then lets him go to a party that same night. I have rather a lot more faith in the Massachusetts police and the FBI though.
Maybe he will, maybe he won't. What I do know is I really don't want to give him an excuse. No one should. We already have drones in the air which a good portion of the American public is a-okay with because they might protect us.
I for one don't want to see the lengths the government will go to, and the public will accept, if this turns out to be a foreign act.
I'm not saying the authorities act this way. But Joe Public too often does.
Do you have any examples of your opinion here?
