I think the time has come to do some good old fashion lynching.

Yep tie them up and let one of them freeze to death, and the other one can smell the burning of their own flesh. Make it slow and painful and infront of every one so that no one else will copycat it.

Nope, its pretty much premeditated. Thus no excuse but the maximum price to be paid for it.

sorry for not having any compassion for these criminals. All they want to do is willful damage and scare people.

Ive thought about it a bit, and came to the conclusion that there is something to be learned though in all of this. The lack of security up there for these soooo important pipelines. Thousands of miles of pipelines and little to no security. Someone was eventually going to get the balls to start doing such acts of violence eventually.

Now weather something will be done about it is to be seen. Proly not before a lot more random acts and a ton more bitching and "Discussing" are done.

As far as I know, any active type of gas infrastructure is frequently monitored, so there's often people coming and going from a site at least daily. Maybe a video camera here and there would work, but with the sheer number of leases and pipelines out there, I'm not sure how feasable it is.

Apparently this one was only 200m from a house, hopefully these bombings stop soon before someone gets hurt.
