did with my own body and my actions by road blockades in tree sits and they still were pushing forward with that sale and so i thought a bit of desperation. i don't consider arson violent personally if someone renders an enum an object that is pillaging the planet and and in. disrespecting our earth mother if they render that piece of equipment useless i don't consider that violent then the less i'm not advocating any one thing i just. encourage people to do something i have to send this form to my probation officer every month to let him know what i've been doing for the month and i'm not causing any problems. starting this past december so it's set for to go on for two and out more years i have been targeted by the f.b.i. and the u.s.

government because of my political ideology and as a consequence the government has labeled me as a terrorist. arson is a serious crime but although it is certainly a far cry from nonviolent civil disobedience it is not terrorism it's property crime it's sabotage or it's arson but it is not terrorism. they're going to feel ok. so it was present. the most is that it's just all things it's all about and. we all need to live here and your best it can support people that are that are about to go.
