Poison Arrow

Almost on the same day that Tre Arrow begins his US Trial on domestic terrorism charges, Earth Liberation Front vandals set fire to millions of dollars worth of homes in metropolitan Seattle. Arrow denies connections to ELF, as many people do, but at the very least we can say he harbors serious sympathies for them and their point of view. Tre, by the way, has spent something like the last four years in Canadian jails fighting extradition on charges here in the states. Like all thugs and low lifes who cloak their crimes with a false veneer of nobility, he was tripped up by a simple infraction: He was caught on security camera in Canada shoplifting.

I have family who are scientists and work in biology related fields, some of which indirectly contributes to medical advances. I've seen attacks by ELF that could have just as easily been mounted against buildings my relatives occupied at the time. So you can imagine how little patience I have with these people.

If Tre gets convicted, he can console himself with the fact that he will be staying for a very long time in a very small space requiring a minimum of energy and resources.
