This is an Honorable Mention since this did not result in death.

Is that a model set? I can't tell.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

Wonderfully "intelligent" people the ELF. Do probably a million dollars worth of damage to something that WOULD NOT HAVE HARMED ANYONE OR ANY ANIMAL. Geze.

The story? ELF claims that the AM radio station whose tower they destroyed would have been hazardous to the environment (false) and have destroyed views (most towers are practically invisible from over 1/4 mile). What they really were after? I think it was the fact that the station is geared to talk radio-and they made an "anti conservative talk radio" statement with this act of sabotage.

It does not say if the shotgun wielding neighbor stopped him/her in action, or after. If it was during, he saved them from becoming a full fledged nominee.
