Lucy Van Pelt, Portrait of a Terrorist
March 2nd, 2006 at 8:45 pm by SmantixHad Peppermint Patty not died in a freak muff diving accident, she would have surely crawled around on all fours to help Lucy Van Pelt’s lunatic Animal Rights Terrorist Group (SHAC) from being found guilty on all counts in a Philadelphia courtroom this afternoon. From the Dumb As a Frickin’ Post Intelligencer:
An animal-rights group and six members were convicted Thursday of using their Web site to incite threats, harassment and vandalism against a company that tests drugs and household products on animals.
[...]
Many of those people saw their homes vandalized, and they and their families received threatening e-mails, faxes and phone calls. Many were also besieged by protesters parading with photos of mutilated animals and screaming “Puppy killer!” through megaphones at all hours outside their homes.
Oh! But abortion protesters should be illegally wiretapped and brought up on RICO charges. That’s liberals for you. They love animals and they hate people.
One woman said she received an e-mail threatening to cut her 7-year-old son open and stuff him with poison. A man said he was showered with glass as people smashed all the windows of his home and overturned his wife’s car.
[...]
SHAC, based in Philadelphia, and six of its members were charged with animal enterprise terrorism, stalking and other offenses. The charges carry two to five years in prison and fines up to $250,000.
And finally, the kicker:
The defense rested after just one day, and used testimony from the group’s president, Pamelyn Ferdin, a former child star who was the voice of Lucy in the “Peanuts” movies and played Felix Unger’s daughter Edna on TV’s “The Odd Couple.” She was not charged.
“For the government to say you can’t say this and you can’t say that is going down a very scary path of going toward fascism,” she told the jury.
And speaking of fascism, here’s what one of her employees had to say – proof pusillanimous that the jackoff never falls far from the jackboot:
Also testifying was one of the defendants, Joshua Harper, who said that he opposes injuring any life form, including humans. But he also said it is all right to throw rocks through someone’s window as long as the person isn’t home.
Yea, nobody’s ever thought of that whole “let’s throw rocks through their windows” tactics before. Allow me to incite anyone who is taking Insulin to sock these criminals in the face.

“For the government to say you can’t say this and you can’t say that is going down a very scary path of going toward fascism,” she told the jury.”
That chill wind she’s feeling isn’t censorship, it’s the breeze blowing through her head.
BTW, What’s with the “human” insulin people? Are they the anti GM crowd?

I’m not a doctor but it appears the human insulin are the GM crowd but that there is a significant number of people who would prefer animal insulin. Plus, I was reminded of the Penn & Teller Bullsh*t episode where they chastised the PETA woman who was protesting an animal lab though she was a diabetic who directly benefited from animal research.

Call me insensitive, but I hope those particular animal rights activists/terrorists die of some horrible affliction that animal testing might have helped us find a cure for.

You selling shirts featuring AkbarLucy? That’s a money maker right there.

That’s a great idea, Lee, but I don’t want the Estate of Charles Schultz up our asses with a hot poker.
