A support organization has formed for Billy Cottrell, a physics student accused of igniting Hummers in West Covina, in the name of the Earth Liberation Front. The ELF is not an organization, but a set of strategies and tactics for economic sabotage performed against developments and other ecological situations. Cottrell was arrested after months of searching, by tracing computer and security logs, and surveilling him in class. Previously, peace activist Josh Connole was mistakenly arrested under suspicion for the vandalism, causing great embarrasment for the police.
