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.

clipped from www.oregonlive.com 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.
