‘Eco-attack’ feared in luxury home arsons

As “dream homes” burn, “Eco-attack” feared in luxury home arsons sweeping Seattle suburb

Elilzabeth Gillespie with the Associated Press reported Monday March 3, on three $1 million or higher-value homes up in flames Monday in a Seattle suburb.

Early indications were “eco-terrorists” set the fires and left a sign mocking developer claims that the 4,000-plus, square-foot houses had special environment-friendly features.

The sign — a sheet marked with spray paint — bore the initials ELF, for Earth Liberation Front, a loose collection of radical environmentalists that has claimed responsibility for dozens of attacks since the 1990s.

The sheriff's office estimated that Monday's pre-dawn fires did $7 million in damage to the "Street of Dreams," a row of unoccupied, furnished luxury model homes where tens of thousands of visitors last summer eyed the latest in high-end housing, interior design and landscaping.

Three homes were destroyed, and two had minor fire or smoke damage.

Crews removed incendiary devices found in the homes, Snohomish County District 7 Fire Chief Rick Eastman said.

Later, however, Kelvin Crenshaw, special agent in charge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms in Seattle, said there was no evidence such devices had been used.

The FBI was investigating the fires as a potential domestic terrorism act, said FBI spokesman Rich Kolko in Washington, D.C. No injuries were reported…

The sign left behind said in red scraggly letters, "Built Green? Nope black!" and "McMansions in RCDs R not green," a reference to rural cluster developments.

Who would have thought on September 10, 2001, that green terror would appear so benign – just a matter of protest as homes go up at a new development project.

These eco guys actually avoided endangering people, spotted homes where a new development had unoccupied, unsold homes – a conscientious effort that Islamist Muslims might find weak and ineffectual.

The jihad solution, from their track record, would appears to be more in line with torching developer children as they played in a development park area.
