Title: More terrorist w/bulldozer foolishness
Post by: MicroBalrog on March 10, 2009, 05:15:26 AM
So. It happens again.

An idiot/wacko/terrorist in a bulldozer/tractor rams a police car, drives it into a bus.

Then two police officers get out of the wrecked police car [!!] and, with the assistance of a taxi driver, shoot the idiot dead.

Except now, we have video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FYyFou247M) for you people to analyze and look at with your tactical wisdom.

Sure looks like a back hoe to me.  Maybe those are bull dozers in Israel.  It ended the way it should.

MB, you do indeed need to get to an American college posthaste.

That's a backhoe, not a bulldozer. 

They're not even similar.

The difference?

Rachel Corrie committed suicide by bulldozer.

This critter committed suicide by backhoe.

Where I come from, that there was a front-end loader with a backhoe attachment.

A true backhoe has no front end loader function.

Or are you talking about a trackhoe?

Since he had the equipment I hope he was thoughtful enough to first dig his own grave.

Interesting how the Israeli police could care less about the two armed citizens assisting in securing the situation.

I was worried though... the police officer was to the right of the backhoe from the camera's perspective, slightly off center to the bucket.  The "cab driver" was up and to the right, shooting directly across the cab.  Several bullet holes through the far side of the glass.  Another armed citizen came from that far side of the glass to inspect the cab, also armed.  Opportunity for crossfire, even though the target is elevated.

Officer was the only person who engaged from an angle with a safe backstop, it seems.

Neither, she's a tall brunette.  Mebbe I should warn her to wear a Ron Paul campaign button, just in case.
