Last night four more fires were set at various construction sites around the San Diego area. Luckily each fire was caught before they spread to surrounding structures and total damage is estimated at only 450K as opposed to the 50 Million dollar fire earlier this year.

From a story on their web page....They are trying to "point out" the congestion caused by over development by starting a fifity million dollar fire??? Wow!
"I think it's a positive statement that at least someone somewhere is trying to point out that over-development is clogging our already congested urban areas. This is a war to protect the environment, to raise the consciousness of people," said 41-year-old Richard Marose, a local restaurant manager. Marose also noted that rain and humidity made the night of the fire moist enough to prevent it from spreading to Rose Canyon: "The canyon would have gone up in smoke if this was done at any other time." He refused to talk to agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms who wanted to question him.

They can't really stop the construction so their actions just cause MORE timber and resources to be cut to replace what they have sold and degrade the environment more than without them.
They drive the cost of insurance up for all of us.
Sooner or later if they set enough fires somebody will get killed.
They don't have the courage of their convictions to target the people who drive the developement prefering to try to wrap themselves in a shroud of non-violence. It's a lie.

These people are nothing more than vandals and have a lot of nerve expressing concern about the environment. A bunch of pyro-maniacs, IMO.
