Hoodlum(s) on the loose

I'm reading "American Holocaust," a detailed and depressing account of the European/New World policy of genocide against native peoples. It almost makes me think we've actually progressed since those days of butchery. But not really. "Advanced" countries just use higher tech, impersonal weapons now.

At any rate, locally we have an arsonist on the prowl.

More arsons, but no answers

Seven torched autos in two days have anti-terror agents on the
case, but a motive remains murky
KIMBERLY A.C. WILSON

Firebug or eco-saboteur?

The answer remained elusive Wednesday as anxiety mounted in
the wake of three more truck fires in Southeast Portland and
across the city line in Milwaukie, bringing the total number
of intentionally burned vehicles to seven in two days.

Wednesday's attacks targeted trucks and sport utility
vehicles in the hours before sunrise: a Ford Ranger, Saturn
Vue and a Honda Element. On Tuesday, three of the four were
Honda CR-Vs; the other was a Ranger. Each vehicle was parked
in a driveway or on the street in a residential
neighborhood. None had locking gas tanks. One fire caused
minor damage to a house, but no one was injured.
