From Watts Up With That?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By POWERLINE BLOG<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

JOHN HINDERAKER<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasn\u2019t entirely forthcoming in this post<\/a> about why I haven\u2019t written much the last few days. It is true that I have been in Washington, mostly to attend the Michael Mann v. Mark Steyn<\/em> trial. I will write up my thoughts on the trial (or at least, those portions I have seen) when I have time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But something else has been distracting me: leftists firebombed my office last Saturday night. At around 2 am, they broke into the building that houses Center of the American Experiment and two other conservative organizations with which we often collaborate, along with many other businesses. The arsonists set two fires: one was in the first floor corridor between American Experiment\u2019s office and the space we sublease to Take Charge, Kendall and Sheila Qualls\u2019 organization. A second fire was set on the third floor, immediately outside or perhaps actually inside the office of the Upper Midwest Law Center, on whose board I serve. This photo shows what the corridor outside my office looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am working with the FBI to try to identify the perpetrators. As I told them, the list of potential suspects is long, as my organization is active, and unusually effective, across a broad range of issues. I will have more to say about this before long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addendum<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dealing with activist violence from green eco-doomers is always on an going concern, as we try and present a point of view that departs from the mainstream narrative, scientific consensus, or gospel of the climate cult as it were. Stalking, doxxing, and as the above post shows, actual violence are things for which we have to be vigilant. The post below from 14 years ago foreshadows the violence noted above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
