I blame Tarantino. :rolleyes2
I'm sorry, but I had to laugh when I heard about this story. Blame it on being desensitized, but that's seriously a hell of a way to go out.
xD
how are we (humanity) going to top this one?
the total opposite of the Arthur Dent approach to fighting zoning laws.
I think that the "Only in America" phrase belongs here. Maybe not, I don't know.
Yeah, that's pretty messed up. It was all over the news monitors when I was waiting to fly out of Colorado Springs airport.
Man that guy was on a mission they fired like a million rounds(not litterally) and blew the dozer up 3 TIMES! and he dies from killing himself. atleast he was trying to avoid hurting other people, from what cnn tv tells me.
Actually, thats how the news introduced it over here: "This is one of the stories you can think only happens in USA".Quote:

Honestly, I don't know what to make of this story. The man was obviously in need of a hug of some sort, but never got it. Unfortunately, these sort of incidents will always occur because we can't keep tabs on every single person at every single moment of the day. There will always be folks who are unhappy with something and take it out with unhealthy actions.
The only in America label, made famous of course by Sir Big Hair, Don King, is usually used by other country's to show how petty and stupid Americans are, whilst, when used within the country, it is a sign of the undying will to succeed. Interesting, how the perspectives are very different.
Take care all.

No, the guy is alive. Darwin are when people die without having descendance.
Oh...I was under the impression that he had died....oops. Guess I was tired when I read it.
