Smog, Traffic, Gang violence, Mayor Villaraigosa... and all they've got to show for it is this lousy newspaper. Pt. III

The Pulitzer Prize winning paper north of here, would appear to have some difficulties with the “T”-word in describing a botched arson attack by animal rights “extremists” intended for Goran Lacan, a UCLA “vivisector”.

Good news for Lacan is bad news for the rest of us: In demonstrating an uncanny similarity to many of their Al Queda cousins, these people, in addition to being homicidal are not very bright either as they targeted the wrong home and cars.

But on Friday, Los Angeles Police Department investigators said none of the cars belonged to Lacan. The attackers, they said, targeted the wrong home and doused the wrong car with fuel before setting it on fire.

Anti-animal research extremists have increasingly targeted UCLA faculty and researchers with harassment. Past actions include firebombing a UCLA commuter van, flooding a UCLA scientist's home and placing a firebomb in the home of a UCLA researcher's neighbor.

By the logic exhibited above, we demand awkward come-ons to female co-workers be downgraded to “complimentary inquiries.”
