That’s good. According to this article, ELF (Earth Liberation Front) members set fire to a new apartment construction site in protest of “destruction of the environment”.

The group, which only communicates with the press by e-mail, issued a brief and vague statement in response to media inquiries:

“The ELF press office has received no communique for the San Diego fire that took place Aug. 1, 2003, and thus cannot answer any questions as to why this location and city was chosen for the latest ELF action,” the statement said. “The banner at the site reading ‘You build it ? we burn it ? ELF’ is a legitimate claim of responsibility by the Earth Liberation Front.”

So much for civil disobedience as a method of protest. These environmental wacko loons are now out to hurt people. Capt. Jeff Carle, of the San Diego Fire Department, pretty much summed it up:

if environmentalists were behind the fire, he didn’t understand their motivation: More trees would be cut down to rebuild the structure.
