You mean a certain group like ALF? They are known militant environmentalists as well a group like PETA who should be watched.
And 'ecoterrorism' accounts for how many events per year at a cost of how many dollars?
And how many innocent civilian lives or civilian properties are at risk? As opposed to local corporate interests.
So
what the hell is the FBI doing worrying if someone is planning to unlock some poorly treated cattle or deface a corporate headquarter when your ports and nuclear facilities and hundreds (if not thousands) of chemical plants remain insecure?
You trust the government to 1)tell you the truth, 2)act in your best interests (as a citizen) without degrading your interests under the influence of special interests.
How is it that the right so consistently denigrates government as untrustworthy, yet trusts it so naively?
