      Among his targets were a preschool. He wasn’t a revolutionary he just wanted to inflict pain on people.

        Not trying to defend the madman, but he killed no one and had a targeted list of people who he felt had wronged him. Your not wrong about the pain part but it wasn’t indiscriminate.

              And then he drove his homemade kildozer through town including a preschool. What part don’t you seem to acknowledge?

                The part that he wasn’t trying to kill preschoolers that you keep implying. Not sure why you have to try to make him out to be a senseless killer when he didn’t actually kill anyone.

                I think his worst offense was definitely shooting at law enforcement. I am glad he missed.

                  The only time that it is okay to drive a bulldozer through a preschool and an old folks home is when it is shut down, fenced off, and marked for demolition 2 weeks in advance.

                  Killdozer didn’t care if he killed preschoolers, elderly, or anybody else, the only reason he failed to kill people is because authorities made the correct call in evacuating rather than asking people to stay indoors.

                    He didn’t drive it through a preschool, he took out the library which had children that were evacuated before the building was damaged.

                    You keep saying he was willing to kill but offer no proof he would have ran over a child if he could have. I think leveling indiscriminate killing on him is fair considering people were in the buildings.

                    Obviously attempted first degree with the fixed gun mounted on the dozer that was fired at a police officer however unlikely it would have been to hit.

      Because he was a deranged asshole, not some kind of folk hero. He blamed all his problems on other people instead of accepting responsibility. Every grievance he had was a result of his own pride, stupidity, and stubbornness.

      Because comments must be posted decrying the killdozer so that other mechanically inclined people don’t accidentally learn that there are actions one can take outside of holding signs in a group.
