Animal Rights Activist violence at UC Santa Cruz
Source: NYT Volokh.com
Interesting in that these were OCCUPIED HOME ARSONS, and that the arsons were targeted at the researcher's HOMES and property, not the research facility.
There was also a previous burglary as mentioned where they actually entered the person's homes wearing masks...
About 5:30 a.m. Saturday, two small bombs ignited outside the researchers’ homes. In one of the attacks, a vehicle was destroyed in a faculty member’s driveway. At the second residence, a two-story home near the university’s front gates, the fire forced the researcher, his wife and two children to flee the home from an upstairs window. The fires were quickly extinguished.
One minor injury was reported, according to The Santa Cruz Sentinel, which also said the police were viewing the attacks as acts of attempted homicide and domestic terrorism. . . .
The university described the attacks as the latest in a series of threats and provocations from those opposed to “biomedical research using animals,†including a February incident in which several masked intruders entered a researcher’s home. After a confrontation, the intruders fled. That incident followed harassing phone calls and vandalism of researchers’ homes, the university said.

So if it OK to go after your pet cause villans at home then the DUmmies wouldn't have any problems with it if it were abortion doctors homes? Right?

that has the same name I do. I've been afraid for years now that she's going to haul off and set something on fire and get me put on the remaining lists or in jail or both.

Actually, Doug's ex-wife is right.
There is an animal-"rights" activist (in Virginia, I think) with the same real-life name and a similar background.

"Similar backgrounds" can have vastly different ages.
Both of them from affluent backgrounds.
