Not that I can think of offhand, but "ecoterrorists" were the FBI's hottest domestic focus for years starting in the 90's and up until recently, nevertheless. They're still at it, but since they can't seem to get terrorism charges to stick...they satisfy themselves with simply calling environmental protest terror, and simply calling the defendants terrorists - and I'm sure it is and I'm sure they are...just absolutely fucking terrifying to the people who make their coin actively murdering every one of us. What are they supposed o do for a living if we won't put up with that anymore? It's not as if they have any other useful skill.
I’m not denying that they do a fair small amount of damage here and there (‘small’ compared to what political terrorists get up to), but it seems mostly restricted to things like sabotaging farming equipment and flinging paint on people wearing dead animal. I was just taken aback by the ‘kindergartens and hospitals’ claim.
Good job to the FBI for spending all that time and treasure hunting tree-huggers, though!
