Bush now has one less voter as gun-toting armored bulldozer driver is dead
Edited on Sat Jun-05-04 06:43 AM by lebkuchen
Do Colorado schools offer conflict resolution classes? They should.

Not even bombs could penetrate this vehicle. Why not send it to our troops in Iraq?

1. Don't you think that's tasteless?
I don't care how much you may hate Bush. What happened to this man was a tragedy, and without anything real to back it up, that "one less voter" remark is just crass.

Also, since the man was an adult business owner, he wouldn't have the advantage of taking conflict resolution classes in school. Even if he was a student, and was headed towards a Columbine comback extravaganza, do any of those sad, incompetent people called educators think they can do anything to reach troubled kids? All they can do is stage CYA-style events to keep from getting blamed for the eventual blowup.

Finally, we know what kind of vehicles the Pentagon wants for its troops in Iraq. The kind that require the use of bullet-proof vests hung on the inside so's the soldiers inside don't die. The idea of protecting the soldiers' lives, or even bringing them home someday, is out of the question

2. That man went on a rampage...
that could have killed a lot of innocent people...and for what? A dispute with the city? Come on...this guy obviously needed mental councilling for anger issues. Too bad we don't have a national health care system that offers such things.

4. No Details Yet
The dozer ground to a halt in the middle of another building he was trashing yesterday afternoon. The SWAT team finally broke into the cab shortly before dawn with (proably det cord) and discovered him dead.

7. Supposedly he shot himself
They're claiming "self inflicted gunshot wound to the head", last I heard.

6. Ariel Sharon is a sad man this morning
Rumor is he was going to attempt to draft this clown into the IDF. He certainly had all the qualifications for the job. That being "psychotic who likes to knock down buildings (and occasionally people) with armored bulldozers"
