Socialist regimes like Hitler's and Mao's often rely on the violent
activities of ideological thugs who act independently of the
government. There is no shortage of such "activists" in the America of
Chairman Zero.
Vandals who claim to act in the name of animal rights and the
environment are expanding their targets from laboratories and
construction sites that offend them to homes and cars of those with
whom they disagree.
On Feb. 19 in Tucson, a UA researcher had her water valve cemented
shut and a mining company employee had her car tires flattened and her
windows etched with hateful sayings.
A press release posted on the San Francisco Bay Area Independent
Media Center site by a group calling itself "Tucson H.A.A.N.D." or
"Hooligans Attack at Night, Duh," claimed responsibility for the acts.
It said UA Health Sciences researcher Katalin Gothard's water
meter was turned off and cemented shut because of her research with
monkeys and Kathy Arnold's car tire was slashed and her window etched
because of her job with Augusta Resources Rosemont Copper Project.
Augusta wants to open a 1.2-square-mile open-pit copper mine in the
Santa Rita Mountains.
The incidents were verified by police, one of the victims and a
University of Arizona Health Sciences Center spokesman.
A post on a Blogspot.com site called "Social Rupture" said the
same group was responsible for a Jan. 15 vandalism attack that
targeted Si Schorr, Tucson attorney and former chairman of the Arizona
Transportation Board.
The post said Schorr was targeted because of his espousal of an
Interstate 10 bypass route that environmentalists say would damage
valuable habitat.
Vandals painted and etched expletive-laced slogans on the home's
windows and garage doors. Schorr called the language "vile."
If it's vile, it fits the M.O. of moonbats.
Given that the country is now run by a community activist who
personally trained ACORN goons in their intimidation tactics, look for
left-wing terrorism to escalate, and for the government to turn an
increasingly deaf ear.
