The hero we need, not the hero we deserve.

This happens to all of them. There was some man who stole a tank from a National Guard armory and drove it around until he found the only tank trap for miles. The Killdozer caved in a floor and found itself stuck in the basement. German tanks in Stalingrad often did the same. The other guy got high-centered on a highway divider and took the treads away from the ground.

All either of them had to do was avoid the extremely rare tank traps in America and all of them managed to find one.

I'm getting it too; it's not a reliable image hosting site tbh.

I'm not from the USA so this wasn't on the news but they showed it on the Discovery channel on either Rampage or Destroyed in Seconds. This particular incident stuck out to me from many others on the show. Mainly because I kept thinking "what could drive a man to this kind of insanity?" Iirc they had to cut through the concrete for 3 hours before finding his dead body.

I don't remember exactly what they said but they totally left out the part about him being wronged. I only came to know about this today.

RIP and happy killdozer day.

No better soundtrack to this than Propagandhi - Ordinary People Do Fucked Up Things When Fucked Up Things Become Ordinary (2001). It's a rager too. Good god, if the guy had nothing else, no family, that was the only thing to do.
