GMO Crops Vandalized in Oregon:

So how do you explain free market libertarians who are against GMO crops and who cheer these vandals on??? The company lost profit because of these douche-bags idiots!!!

Unreported in the media or the anti-GMO alternative media, On June 8, 2013 1,000 GMO plants were destroyed by a fire. Then three days later these same vandals set fire to 5,500 plants. The incident took place in rural Jackson Oregon. The plants were owned by a Swiss Company Syngenta and they were genetically engineered sugar beets.

The beets were genetically engineered to resist the herbicide Glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup, which is a common trait for many genetically engineered crops currently on the market. This trait is desired by sugar beet farmers because it can improve their weed control, which currently requires multiple different herbicides to accomplish.

Oregonians for Food & Shelter has offered a $10,000 reward for any information relating to the crime, no tire tracks were left at the scene so the vandals did everything on foot. The Federal Government has called it a crime of “Economic Sabotage.” The company has reported a significant loss.

Anyone with information is asked to call the FBI at (541) 773-2942 during normal business hours or the FBI in Portland at (503) 224-4181 twenty-four hours a day. Tips may also be emailed into Portland@ic.fbi.gov.

That's the problem with labels.
 
It is vital to all of us that all the earth be sprayed with RoundUp. Federal law should require glyphosate be added to all foods and water supplies because it's such a fantastic chemical. A full range of herbicides should be required put in all public water sources.
