I think I see a connection here

Between this and this.

The eco-terrorist group ELF struck a lumberyard in West Jordan recently, causing millions of dollars in damage. Now it appears that the fax claiming responsibility for the attack came from a University of Utah clinic.

Of course, the manager of the clinic is falling over himself to claim that no employee of the clinic would ever do such a thing. Suuuure. And I'm sure the ELF people were fully aware of the unused fax machine sitting there in the empty, cordoned-off wing of the clinic, even though they had never set foot in it. Why, it's quite easy to find idle fax machines in buildings that you don't work in and rarely enter (NOT!).

So what does this have to do the University's continuing refusal to obey Utah's gun laws?

To understand the mentality, one has to understand that the University of Utah is an anti-Mormon, anti-American Blue island surrounded by a sea of Red Americans. From their perch on Salt Lake City's east bench, they look down on the huddled, befuddled masses. They view themselves as not only being intellectually superior to the average Utahn, but morally superior as well. Their refusal to obey Utah law, and the likely participation of one (only one?) of their employees in an ecoterrorist action, both rise from the same arrogant attitude: only the "common folk" should obey the law.

It will be interesting to see what the University will say if one of their employees is convicted for the crime. I bet the faculty will set up a defense fund for their "hero".

Any takers?
