SUV Firebomber Nabbed

Sometimes the FBI gets their man. Police arrested a CalTech student in conjuction with last summer's firebomb attacks on several California new truck/car lots. Supposedly he could get 40 years for 2.3 million worth of arson related charges. The FBI and police have done their job, want to bet on how well the justice system will do theirs?

Chain him to the seat of an SUV (since he seems to like them so much), douse in gas, and toss a match.

That's great, if they could arrest everyone involved with ELF that would be great.

The funny thing about this guy was that he caused more damage to the envoiorment by torching the SUVS than they would cause in their life.

Spoiled little punks who can't get anyone to play by their rules, so they decide to take their toys and go home - but they don't have any toys - only the rich dudes have toys, man. So, in a mind-numbing brain fart, they decide to burn the rich dudes' toys - man, that'll teach 'em.

Hey, it worked. Now everybody is on their side, and nobody wants any SUVs anymore.

Wow, man.

"take their toys and go home - but they don't have any toys - only the rich dudes have toys, man."

Actually this kid came from a fairly well off family. Usually its the rich kids that take these kinds of left wing stands for wing nut causes - everyone else is to busy working for a living.
