William C. Rodgers
Environmentalist. Earth Liberation Front activist. In December 2005, Rodgers was arrested and imprisoned for alleged acts of ecoterrorism. One such alleged act was the 1998 arson of buildings at a Vail, Colorado, ski resort, which had been on the verge of expanding into an 885-acre wilderness area that was home to the last wild lynx spotted in the state. Overwhelmed by state repression, Rodgers committed suicide in jail on December 21, 2005.
