From the mighty nut a little smoke does blow…
A luxury home [in Edmonton] belonging to a former oilsands executive was firebombed with Molotov cocktails, Edmonton police confirmed Monday.
The blaze Saturday on the city’s south side caused approximately $850,000 damage to the home, which belonged to Jim Carter, former chief operating officer at Syncrude.

A possible motive for the attack is still under investigation. Investigators aren’t ruling anything out, including possible links to environmental extremism.
It’s not the first attack on the Carters – their Escalade was vandalized in July.
Related? “ For the fourth time in three months, a remote natural gas pipeline in northeastern British Columbia was targeted with a bomb…”
Flashback – CBC Fruit Fly Fascist
It’s about the ducks Kate….well them and the sea kittens.
Symcro
only slight OT…Kate is in the lead!
If Molotov cocktails were involved, and if it
can be determined beyond a shadow of a doubt
who did this, then I think they should be hung.
In the town square.
At high noon.

That’s a little harsh isn’t it? I thought ten real years and a daily kick in the nuts was sufficient.
Syncro
Kate is in the lead!
That’s because she finally offered some Hope.
She can clinch if she now offers Change. But it has to be change voters can believe it.
Maybe a Smart car on skis. Something like that.
Vit, perhaps the Fruit Fly Fascist and Al Goracle can be named as co-conspirators. You’d think the Goracle could define the meaning of “civil” disobedience. Violence to persons or property ain’t it. Dickheads. If any of them should want to get a taste of what life would be like after a few centuries of global cooling, perhaps they could visit my little patch of land in Saskatchewan right now.
“There were several firebomb attacks in a south Edmonton neighbourhood last year. Police blamed those attacks on a feud between three rival groups — including teens from two city high schools.
Ms. Thenu said there’s no indication the latest arson is linked” This is what the media do so f’en much. Mislead and mis-direct.This ‘link’ to another firebombing has nothing to do with the latest,but the G&M still want to plant the seed of doubt. This BS and their omission of anything that may taint their benevolent masters of ‘the good old days’ is why they are rapidly changing from trusted to laughingstock. Thankfully,most of them gave up their guns when instructed.
No pun intended, but I just voted again and it’s a dead heat.
Wait a minute ,I could be wrong….Do his friends call him ‘Jimmy”.
No humanity for his habitat.
“Pravda: The earth is now on the brink of entering another Ice Age, according to a large and compelling body of evidence from within the field of climate science. Many sources of data which provide our knowledge base of long-term climate change indicate that the warm, twelve thousand year-long Holocene period will rather soon be coming to an end, and then the earth will return to Ice Age conditions for the next 100,000 years.”

Looking out the window I can believe this. I hate to say it but Algore lied to me, he said it would be getting warmer….we’re all going to die.
To bad the whole place didn’t go up he was thinking.
Dealing with insurance can be a bitchh I’m sure – Insurance upgrading on the other hand could at times can be quite satisfactory in the high end homes I would imagine.
Dimes to doughnuts that it was done by members of one of the “environmental/animal rights” organisations. It should not be all that difficult to catch them, and the organisation should also be made to pay for full damages at the same time. It is highly unlikely this was done on the spur of the moment by some individual.
Concerning the pipeline bombings, somebody is going to get hurt over this. Setting off bombs around pipeline rizer facilities and wellhead facilities is only a matter of time before it is going to rupture a pipeline or wellhead. In turn that line or wellhead if sour [H²S] will spew gas and condensate to atmosphere. These people or person is doing this close to rural population. It is only a matter of time.
MSM is complicit in this firebomb attack.
why jail them when you can firebomb them. I think the fruitfly would suggest medical experiments run by 6 year olds in a treehouse.
HANGED, not “hung”. Game is hung; people are hanged.
If the envirofascists object to light and heat, the first step for them is obvious: turn off the lights; turn off the {stereo, CD player, iPod}; then turn off the heat. THAT’s the way to beat the oil companies! Especially in January!
Why has no one morphed the Fruit Fly Fascist and Che on a T shirt?
I’d pay 19.95 in eco dollars for one. Put one of those Jew Hating Jackals neck rags on him too fastened with a Taliban Jack button.
According to Merriam-Webster, John (and I did look it up before posting, that’s just the kind of guy I am): “For both transitive and intransitive senses the past and past participle hung, as well as hanged, is standard”. One of the usage examples they provide, “she should be hung”, is exactly the form I used above, by design. Ergo, it looks to me pretty much like a matter of de gustibus non est disputandum, eh what?
HANGED, not “hung”. Game is hung; people are hanged.
weeeeeell now, I’ma a person , and I ain’t well hanged
but I sure would like to be well “hung”:-))))
“…eco-terrorism attacks of this nature against oil executives in Canada are unheard of”. That might well be true, but eco-terrorism attacks against cattle breeders are not. I should know; my uncle was sent a bomb from the left coast because he’s one.
For doubters, you can still read about the incident here: http://www.mackenzieinstitute.com/1999/1999_06_Ecotage_Profile.html.
Re: Dawson Creek pipeline bombings.
That’s close to my area, and I work in the industry. My uninformed take on it is that it’s probably some disgruntled landowner or farmer, not an enviro-kook. Perhaps some sort of Wiebo Ludwig wannabe? A fine distinction, to be sure!
It’s important to understand that many of the wells around here are sour wells, and I can sort of understand someone not being happy about having that kind of activity take place on their property — if that is indeed what is behind this?
I expect some Vancouver-based “environmental” group will try to make hay of this in 5, 4, 3 …
I hope they purchased “carbon offsets” from Fat Al for those Molotov cocktails.
To echo RG’s comments, I’ve been threatened by landowners on more than one occasion. The most common cause isn’t that an oil company wants to dill on their land. What really sets them off is when their neighbours get a well, and they don’t. There are a few landowners that don’t care about the money, but they’re scarce. Wiebo was all about money, all the environmental crap was just leverage.
I always carry a little surprise under my jacket whenever I work in certain areas. Anywhere north and west of Grande Prairie, I also carry an extra clip.
Encana just announced that it is offering a $500,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the people responsible for the recent bombings of it’s facilities.

dp,
I’ve never had a run-in with a landowner, and honestly, I have never heard of such a thing before, at least not around Fort St. John. I’ve found that if you’re courteous and respectful to people, around here, you get the same back. If you go onto someone’s private property carrying a weapon, that might be asking for trouble? This isn’t Iraq. You may also want to consider that if you are really going around carrying a concealed weapon, at that point you are the one breaking the law — not the landowner.
