In an act of political terrorism, members of the Environmental Liberation Front, which overlaps heavily with the Animal Liberation Front in style and apparently membership, claimed responsibility for a fire at the local GOP headquarters in Bloomington, Indiana.
According to an ELF press release, the group has to resort to such actions “because there are no viable options on the ballet [sic]” — I guess that is their way of getting back at Republicans for attempting to cut public funding for the arts!
The press release from the Frontline Information Service claimed the fire was set as a warning to Republican John Hostettler in protest over plans to build highway I-69 which the ELF release claimed “is just one example of the willingness of the rich to bleed the Earth and the working class to fulfill their money lust.”
