Bulldozer Rampage

Local man builds tank, crushes town I am sadded by the death of a determined person in an otherwise injury free outburst. I am better educated for wanting to write about it though. The fact that no one else was killed in this rampage is astonishing considering the beast he was piloting. In looking up a picture of one I found that this is the same model that the Israli Defensive Forces use, with similar armored modification, to destroy buldings in their campigns against palestinian militants. This is a picture of one in use by the IDF. It is terrifying to think of this brute tool as a weapon. This article and other sources, like Caterpillar's site, confirm that the manufacturer only makes yellow ones and it is up to the owners to armor them for military or personal use.This article also indicates that the U.S. has been buying the aftermarket kits from the IDF.
