bulldozer rampage in Granby Colorado

[eclectica]

This dude is my hero. The town pissed him off by changing the zoning rules which put him out of business, and he got revenge on them by taking an armored bulldozer and bulldozing all the properties of the people who had opposed him. Here is the story:

You can also see some News 4 video of the rampage as well:

The machine he used was a custom armored Caterpillar D9 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caterpillar_D9), which the Israelis use to bulldoze the homes of Palestinians.

Such a machine is so powerful that maybe it could be used in a manner similar to a terrorist weapon. I would like some dude to take one to the US Capitol or White House and shovel out all the tons of shit that resides there and level the buildings to the ground.

Man all that crazy shit happens in Colorado.


When the residents saw him welding armour plates to the bulldozer, what did they think he would use it for? I guess "maybe he will bulldoze the town" doesn't really pop into any ones head.

I don think he is a hero, because he didn't do it to stand-up for anything, he did it as an exagerated outlet for anger. anger ain't cool!

Richard Simons is a hero though...i read an article yesterday that said while he was at a harley davidson or whatever dealer, one of the sales men yelled out to him sarcasticly "let's rock it to the 50's" or something like that, which is an old slogan from one of Simon's videos... so calmly richard simons walks upto the salesman, slaps him across the face and says "it's not nice to make fun of people with issues!".

ROCK ON RICHARD!

To the person that thinks he's a hero....If you think the guy who went on the bulldozer rampage is a hero, you need to grow up. I was there, it was scary and he didnt prove a DAMN THING! And thats just great to wanna take a bulldozer to the white house, you're just like the moron that drove the bulldozer. If you wanna prove a point why dont you do it in a mature, non-violent way.

Aye, I thought that guy was pretty cool as well. It's a great story.
