1999 Hoods in the Woods part 1/3

This is part one of a three part, 23 minute, 1999 video about what happened when a mob of loggers attacked a small camp of environmentlists protesting the ongoing logging of the Upper Elaho Valley in the Stoltmann Wilderness. After this attack the campaign to protect the Stoltmann Wilderness continued for many years. In 2008 the Upper Elaho was granted legislative protection as a Concervancy under the park act. The Upper Elaho, as well as the other valleys of the Stoltmann are now off-limits to logging.

I remember seeing the footage where one of the loggers, after the first raid on the camps taunts the protestors with "We'll be seein' ya real soon!"

They made good on that shortly after.

Don't any of these protestors have a job?
