In the wake of a massive fire set by the ELF in San Diego, activists are receiving intense harassment from the government. Activists have had their homes raided, have been detained by the police, and have had their homes photographed by agents sitting in SUV's. Still, they are resisting. On Saturday, there will be a rally and press conference held in Balboa Park where a number of activists will discuss the various forms of repression the government is using to silence free speech.

Update: Three more ELF actions were reported on Friday, August 22nd.

Speak up for the victims of Government harassment

21.08.2003 13:28


First they came for the communists,
But I didn't speak up because i wasn't a communist,
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me -
and by that time no one was left to speak up.

You people are surprised the FBI raided this guys home?

Here's a tip if you don't want your home raided than don't name your group a "Liberation Front". Or if you do don't feign surprise when the authorities investigate.

People are animals, but animals are not people.

I'm confused. You harass a business by burning it down and then turn right around like a true hypocrite and complain about the cops harassing you? WOW!

Cowardice terrorist your lucky thats all you did....

They should of firebombed your houses you cowards.... Why don't you burn your parents or your own comfy mansions down.... You break the law by violently burning down someones property and on top of that close enough force evacuations of peoples homes to then cry "police state". You hypocrites should wear T-Shirts so I can implant your stoopid carcasses on my Humvee's grill.

The people raided were in no group with liberation front in the title.if you would carefully slowly read the article the whole point is we have nothing to do with the ELF. Second the people raided never "harassed a home by burning" because we had nothing to do with it. The FBI know it too this is an attempt to silence plain and simple.

Tinfoilhat and the pussy with the Humvee are typical idiots who just don't get it. They provide material support to terrorists via their lifestyles (meat eating, leather, and their "I've got a small penis" monster trucks).

People with small dicks drive Humvees.

So if the people raided by the polic had nothing to do with the ELF why is the elf mentioned in this article. The fact of the matter is that the people raided had everything to do with the ELF. If i burned down the Greenpeace HQ y'all would want the FBI to investigate. But if the ELF burns down a condo then its ok cause its done in the name of progress. Wow, i guess im just an idiot for not being hypocritical.
P.S. A judge has to sign a search warrant and most of them are concerned about the constitution, they wont give out a warrant unless there is cause.

Haha!!

A judge wont give a warrant without proof? Holy crap! I can tell by that statement that you know absolutely nothing about the process. Talk to any federal attorney, and they'll tell you all the us attorney's office (of which there is one in every majoy city) needs to do is ask, and they get rubber stamped, especially down here in San Diego.

I don't normally call people total fucking idiots, but you get that stamp buddy.

I just fell across this site... I love it. I think that if people were actually heard they wouldn't be driven to burning down buildings. Afriad I will have to side with the 'domestic terrorists' at least they bother to think...
