Re: Improving Off-road Compliance

It's very hard to read the intent of an unidentifiable rider who accelerates his vehicle at a pedestrian.

An act of violence is an act of violence whether the intent is to run someone over, or spay them with dirt.

These guys are engaging in terroristic behavior designed to strike fear into the minds of their victims.

Eco terrorsim has taken on a new meaning as these radical extremist OHV riders intentionaly destroy rehabilitation projects and attempt to intimidate anyone who speaks out against trespass and illegal riding on public lands.

In my opinion, "Big Ed" has given these criminals his full support with an internet hate campaign directed at advocates for responsible recreation for the past two years. He is the spokesman for the OHV-First! movement. No different than Earth-First!. Same tactics. Just a new wrapper and a different face.

Tell us again Big Ed. Who are the extremists?

Those who seek to promote legal and responsible OHV use on our public lands, or those who blatently ignore route designations and destroy rehabilitation projects?

Those who seek protection from illegal trespass or those who seek to weaken or eliminate laws that protect a property owner's rights to enjoy a peaceful and quiet existance in their own homes?
