      A bit similar to the average "consciousness objector willingly taking himself to prison to make a lib point" during the Vietnam war against the "chad dude running away to Canada and wasting more resources from the DoD to be located".

    Setting fires to help the environment is inherently an absurd concept,” the prosecutors noted in their sentencing memo.

    Reminder that the people who released medflies as an act of agricultural sabotage in order to stop the use of a certain pesticide have: 1) never been caught or punished and 2) accomplished their stated goals and ensured a better environment. Direct action gets the goods.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_California_medfly_attack

        In 1989, a sudden invasion of Mediterranean fruit flies (Ceratitis capitata, "medflies") appeared in California and began devastating crops. Scientists were puzzled and said that the sudden appearance of the insects "defies logic", and some speculated "biological terrorists" were responsible.[1] Analysis suggested that an outside hand played a role in the dense infestation.[2][3][citation needed]

        A person or group calling itself "The Breeders"(lol) took responsibility for the bioterrorist attack,[4] as financial retaliation for the environmental damage caused by the state's Malathion aerial spraying; the group's members were never identified.[citation needed] Subsequently, three months after "The Breeders" announced the medfly release, the state ended its decade-long Malathion program and sought alternate ways to handle destructive insects.[4]

    in 2018 when Dibee was arrested by the FBI in Cuba and flown in a government jet to Portland.

    So did Cuba allow the FBI to arrest him or was he literally kidnapped out of the country?

    Still, Dibee alleged he was tortured by Cuban authorities prior to the FBI taking him into custody.

    wut lol

    Dibee’s sentence is the shortest of the 11 co-defendants who pleaded guilty years before him. Some were sentenced to as many as 13 years in prison.

    probably because he's a bigger loser or not as cool as them or ratted them out lol.

    “Some of them I don’t wish ill on,” Dibee said of his co-defendants, “but most of them are just vermin, they’re vermin.”

    yep this guy's trash. not that most of the stuff he did sounds bad at all. just bougie pmc things.

    The FBI is still searching for one remaining co-defendant, Josephine Sunshine Overaker.
