Very Stupid Eco-Arsonists Torch Green Homes in Seattle Suburb

The Earth Liberation Front has been blamed for burning down a handful of some fairly “green” homes in a big money suburb of Seattle. The three million dollar homes were part of the “Street of Dreams” development and were designed, built, and sold (or in the process of being sold) for charity.

The Huffington Post has it:

No injuries were reported in the fires, which began before dawn in the wooded subdivision and were still smoldering by midmorning.

The sign left behind said in red scraggly letters, “Built Green? Nope black!” and “McMansions in RCDs r not green,” a reference to rural cluster developments.

In an alternate universe it was a shady developer or bank looking to get out of having to sell homes in a suddenly very unfriendly market with a quick spray painted sign to throw the blame ELFs way.

Whoever did this is a dumbass, especially if they try to claim they did it for the environment. Torching a bunch of big homes releases all sorts of crazybad pollutants into the air. I don’t understand the logic of lighting fire to a development that was actually taking a step towards being green and either way you know a new home will be built on the lot after they bulldoze away the charred wood and ash.

Stupid eco-arsonists.
