$20 million fire tied to eco-militants

[Township75]

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 4 — Dozens of investigators on Monday were probing a $20 million arson that appears to be the work of the Earth Liberation Front. If front activists are responsible, it would be the costliest attack ever by environmental extremists.

THE FIRE early Friday leveled a 200-unit condominium complex that was under construction in what had been a scenic canyon with nearby wetlands.

A 12-foot hand-painted banner found on the scene read: “If you build it — we will burn it — the ELF’s are mad.”

2. University City residents I talked to were thrilled

They had voted down this development but their voices had been ignored. The developers always win in San Diego. I heard many residents of that area, where I know a lot of people, say they were glad this happened and hope it happened again and again.

Looks like folks are starting to turn against big growth, even in conservative San Diego.

SAVE MOTHER EARTH!!!

3. Did they do a handwriting analysis

and compare it to Rush?

I heard that he was off for a few days last week. He could have at least written the sign and got back on the CCW corporate jet in time for whatever.
