I wasn't sure if this should go under equipment operating or off topic

Lol.. equipment operating would have been appropriate also.. crazy!

 

[dirtydeed]

Maybe it should go under a new thread: "what did you do with your excavator today"?

I never tried that with an excavator before. I know that they are a very useful piece of equipment, but that task didn't come to mind.

Those trooper showed much more restraint than I would've.

rest of the story is here:

Not digging it: Vermont state troopers arrest man who attacked them with excavator

“They don’t have a scenario at the academy where we practice this one,” Vermont State Police Capt. Matt Daley said.

Bmyers,
You appreciate controversial topics, If you go to you tube channel, Sky News Australia, & find the video
"Australia has become the ############ of the energy producing world," may have paraphrased a bit.

The US Policy is destined to follow theirs & that is rather sad .

That, my friend, is the understatement of the year!
I would have been knee deep in empty brass & magazines!

That seems like a waste of ammo. 2 thru the face is very efficient

You know that would be cause for new gun laws...

Great, now we will be seeing excavators being outlawed. No one needs an excavator, especially a large capacity excavator. We may allow min-excavators, but that is only if you pass the training and background checks.

Apparently that happened a while ago. They ended up not charging the guy…

The woman reporting that incident (Gina Bullard) has been a reporter in Kansas City since 2017, making that 5 year old news.

Think those weights on front had any affect on the damage done? Wow.. they must have really ticked him off!

 

[woodsy]

yeah, old news but pretty crazy stuff just the same.
" Roger Pion, angry over a arrest on charges of resisting arrest and marijuana possession"

Then there was the guy in CO who up armored his dozer and commenced to
destroy parts of his town. A documentary movie was made on him.
Beware a man on his hvy equipment. That guy in the excavator could have
killed someone with that thing !

Wonder if the cops grabbed the excavator as evidence for the upcoming trial ?
