Every person that commits a direct action compares themselves to the Boston Tea Party. Are you trying to say that the Boston Tea Party was the reason for the Revolutionary War? We here are all patriots. We believe in the ideals of the founding fathers and we do not dismiss their contribution for establishing this country. We do not refer to them as White slave owning males that did not want to pay their taxes as so many in your corner do. So please do not insult my intelligence when you would be the first to condemn the founding fathers.

If you support them so hardly, why do you not be true to your heart and engage in such activities yourself. If you believe they are wrong, you sit on the side lines and allow someone else to commit the crimes you know is ethically and morally wrong. If you refuse to participate in your heartfelt beliefs, why do you even bother to have them or support them?

(Wow! Sorry if this sounds demeaning, but responding to this nonsense is starting to make my head spin).

Nice try, but I’ll not give you the satisfaction of either confessing to acts of compassion the murder machine has criminalized or acknowledging that I lack the courage of my convictions.

You never have answered the question, if it were you as the target of someone else destroying your property, would it be acceptable based on their view of the world and what you had done to damage the world in their eyes?

Also, I know that direct action against those who exploit nonhuman animals is ethically and morally RIGHT.

Is direct action against those that vandalize property, terrorise families, and/or place Molotov cocktails at the homes of elderly women acceptable and morally right?[4]

Their refusal to allow “minor details” like evidence, specifics, or complexity stand in their way; their consistent overgeneralizations; their obsession with false dichotomies; their absurd conflation of highly diverse philosophies, groups, and persons into one entity which they grossly mischaracterize as “liberal;” and their morally repugnant enshrinement of the “American Way of Death” aside, whomever is slithering about behind their shroud of anonymity at ToO has created a “hit list,” included addresses and phone numbers for those on the list, and published this “call to action” which appears under the link “Our Mission:”

This is a call to action! These anti-American Liberals are dangerous people that can no longer be ignored! One person can make a big difference!

There are those that read about history.

There are those that make history.

Which one do you want to be?

It is time to get involved…

These people and organizations are Enemies of Freedom, the American people, and the American way of life!!! Each and every one should be considered a “Target of Opportunity”

Since many of the “terrorists” on ToO’s “hit list” happen to be animal defenders, it’s worth noting that the state terrorists in DC whom ToO so ardently supports have slaughtered millions upon millions of people to advance corporate interests and to attempt to maintain US world hegemony. Meanwhile, the activists fighting the abject exploitation of nonhuman animals have killed exactly zero humans and have followed in the footsteps of “terrorists” such as those who fought our own American Revolution, John Brown, Nelson Mandela, and the Jewish Resistance to Nazi Genocide by taking a militant approach and engaging in direct action against injustice.
