Organization Seeks to Stop Eco-Violence
Eco-terrorism is suspected of being behind the vandalism earlier this month of a newly completed $250,000 home in a rapidly growing subdivision in South Windsor, CT, according to Stop-Eco Violence!
Based in Wilsonville, OR, Stop-Eco Violence! is a grassroots organization that advocates “the advancement of legislative and law enforcement efforts to eradicate violence perpetrated in support of environmentally motivated agendas.”
“Acts of environmental terrorism committed by well-supported extremists have caused undue harm to private citizens, businesses, institutions and local communities,” the advocacy group says.
“These ‘direct actions’ have taken many different forms, ranging from personal threats of violence to the destruction of public buildings and legitimate scientific research — all in the pursuit of an agenda that seeks to gain power and control and works against principles of self-government,” the group says.
