ecoterrorism
i don't have the words to describe how wrong this is.

okay, of course i do.
a few questions for the "earth liberation front," the organization claiming responsibility for this lovely little "jam":

this is/was a high density residential complex in an urban area!!! isn't that what we want? isn't that smart growth? isn't that the best way to accomodate population growth and residential needs without raping the soil? this is a package of land between a major shopping mall and skyscraper commercial units, and between two major interstates.
how much lumber has been wasted here? how many trees will have to die to go into the rebuild?
isn't a fire bad for the air quality? how much metal and strange composite building material burned? how much pollution have you spewed into the atmosphere by doing this?
now what do you think will happen to mild sensible environmental protests to things that are actually bad for the environment?

you've ruined it for us all.
