Rampaging Bulldozer Driver Found Dead
GRANBY, Colo. -- A muffler shop owner who plowed through several buildings in Granby with an armored bulldozer was found dead early Saturday morning.

Authorities say a man identified as Marvin Heemeye, 51, apparently shot himself. He was found after officers used a torch to cut through metal plates that encased the dozer. The plates had a 12-inch layer of concrete between them.


Come on and flame me for my snarkiness this morning.

some sarcasm - but I think military service is mandatory in Israel so owning a gun to maintain a militia may really fit.

Ah haw, haw, haw! Soooo witty. :rofl:

Wait. Let's see. Bulldozers have been used for decades in Israel to knock down Palestinian houses, particularly ones that had somehow encroached too closely on illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank. Rachel Corrie was run over by one as she protested this inhumane treatment of people. I don't know what the circumstances of the "rampage" in Jerusalem are, but I'd guess that some Palestinian man finally snapped, and took out a little of the rage and frustration he and his people have built up over the years. I'm not excusing or condoning it, but I surely understand it.

Maybe I shouldn't :rofl: Maybe I should :cry:

at my elementary school during the school year. I've often thought about a tank or a semi, but I think this would be easier to maneuver, and would scoop the offending cars out of the way at the same time. Do they come with a heater? I would need that during the colder months.:rofl:

Fortunately, no one was injured (except the guy).

I don't want to crush anything. I just want to shovel a path to the road home.

:woohoo:

Or after I run it into the cattle pond again...

:P

RIP Rachel Corrie
