| A different shade of green from Islam, but terror is terror. Tucson environmental activist Rodney Adam Coronado was arrested here Wednesday after being indicted in California on a charge of demonstrating how to use a destructive device. Coronado, 39, a self-proclaimed member of the Earth Liberation Front, taught and demonstrated the making and use of the device on Aug. 1, 2003, at a public gathering in San Diego with the intent that it be used to commit arson, according to a news releasefrom the U.S. Attorney's Office. The one-count indictment was issued by a federal grand jury in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of California. The FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, arrested Coronado Wednesday, the release said. If convicted, he faces up to 25 years in prison and/or a $250,000 fine. |

| #9 I was under the impression it would take him a couple days to die of thirst, or more likely less than an hour to die of exposure in those conditions. |

| #8 Stake him naked to the top of Pikes Peak - from about January through late March. Let "Mother Nature" take loving care of him. Reclaim the chains when the snow melts and the wind drops to a pleasant 40mph. |

| #5 This story was posted long before 8 this morning - I commented on it before 12:30 am. For whatever reasons, it has disappeared. Perhaps it was the comments that were posted. Let's see... I think he should be nailed to a tree, far from the madding crowds, and left to the gentle graces of Gaia. |

| #4 Rodney lied....minks died. [could not help it] This guy will never change. He needs 25 years without parole, so he will be kept out of circulation. Then he needs to be interrogated for intel on other activities, without color TV in his cell. |

| #3 Oh-oh. Looks like Rodney's one of them...recividists. From '93: USA v. Rodney Adam Coronado: 93-CR-116-RAE Synopsis: An animal rights activist with ties to the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), Rodney Adam Coronado, was thought responsible for acts of vandalism and theft at university labs where animal testing was being conducted. On behalf of ALF, Coronado started a fire at Oregon State University in the mink research sheds. The FBI linked Coronado to: a fire at the Northwest Farms Food Cooperative in Edmonds, Washington; the destruction of records in the office of a mink researcher at Washington State University, a fire that destroyed the processing building at a mink farm in Oregon, an un-detonated fire bomb at the Fur Breeders Agriculture Cooperative in Utah; a fire that destroyed records and equipment at Michigan State University; and a burglary and fire at the Utah State University animal disease control facility. Coronado struck a plea agreement with federal prosecutors. He avoided charges tied to damage at Utah State University, Oregon State and Washington State Universities, as well as the mink farm and food cooperative. He pleaded guilty to one count and was found guilty on 18 USC § 844-aiding and abetting arson at Michigan State University. He was sentenced to 57 months in federal prison and ordered to pay $2.5 million in restitution to institutions and businesses damaged by ALF. Coronado was also sentenced to 600 hours of community service upon release. The Fur Commission USA reports that Coronado has since renounced ALF, stating: "My actions were illegal, radical and extreme, and caused great pain to others." Jeez. Sounds like Rodney...lied. http://www.tkb.org/CaseHome.jsp?caseid=333 |
