AR-News: (CA/US)Direct Action: Tre Arrow Arrested

[Animalconcerns]

[from The Dominion]

On March 10th, a man calling himself Joshua Murray was arrested for
shoplifting in a Victoria Canadian Tire outlet. According to police,
fingerprints identified him as Tre Arrow, an Oregon environmental activist
listed on the FBI's most wanted list with a reward of $25 000 for
information leading to his arrest. FBI spokespeople and news headlines
have labelled Arrow an "eco-terrorist", but many have taken issue with
this label, describing him as a principled and inspiring activist.
...
While Arrow's ultimate innocence or guilt will be decided by a jury in the
distant future, the battle over the symbolism of his capture is already
pitched. FBI missives, "Wanted" posters, and headlines from the Associated
Press, Reuters, MSNBC, and numerous other outlets have painted him as an
"eco-terrorist". Groups such as Stop Eco-Violence and Property Rights
Foundation of America have cited his arrest as a decisive blow in the
fight against domestic terrorism.
