Ecofriendly Terrorists

Terrorism- The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.

This definition according to the Seattle Times and a PNW judge is incorrect if you are a eco terrorist tree hugging hippie who just happens to set a few fires and no one gets hurt!

U.S. District Court Judge James Redden told a federal prosecutor not to use the word "terrorist" in the trial of Jacob Sherman, an Oregon man inspired by ELF to set fire to three logging trucks.

It would appear that I am clueless on how such acts are not terrorist acts. Call me dumb….
