Re: Animal Rights Activist Could Face 82 Years in Jail and Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars in Fines

The government is going after animal rights activists because they're a fringe movement who get stuff done. The government is refining their tactics on animal rights activists so they can go after other social and political movements.

Remember when there was all that hoopla over spies and grand juries being put against anti-war activists? Animal rights activists have been dealing with grand juries since the early 90's. Above-ground teenage activists have had warnings put on drivers' licenses calling them "domestic terrorists".

Peter Young faces 82 years. Most rapists face 3, max. Does this seem like justice to you? Watch out, what happens to the animals rights and environmental movement will happen to other movements soon.

If illegality is something you're actually worried about, support a group who is completely above ground and legal- and about to be thrown into jail for 25 years.
