My guess is the cop flunked science.

[sportutegrl]

That might explain why this Yankee story is in the (New Orleans) Times Picayune.

[tnlibertarian]

Who might that be?

They said there was no one in the cars..

Although I have no evidence of this, I assumed that came when the cops caught up with him.

[Vermont Lt]

That is right down the street from my Mom.

I guess he might have said, “aaaayaaaup” afterwards.

The don’t yell and scream much up there.

Aging been given a few lectures on driving from those cops, I must say the story made me smile.

And, pot growing in corn fields for personal consumption has been going on for eons.

[Vermont Lt]

And for those who don’t know...that part of Vermont is NOT the fancy Stowe/Burlington idiots. pretty much FDR dem’s...certainly not whack job Howard Dean Dems.

[zeugma]

LOL. great photos. Too bad they knew who did it.

It’s too bad that one of the police officers wasn’t in the 2nd or 3rd squad car and saw the tractor coming at him off the other cars, I would love for this story to end the way it did with the Muslim on a bulldozer in Jerusalem awhile back....you know with a police officer climbing up the tractor and emptying his sidearm pistol into the a$$hole’s cranium.

I hope the insurance company sues the “farmer” and wins every bit of land and equipment he owns.

Now, this “farmer” gets to spend several years in prison, as well as lose his farm and equipment, when instead he could’ve probably fought & won the allegedly bogus minor charges he was already upset about.

Yep, great decision making skills......he really showed those police. Ooooh boy!

[Dead Corpse]

All over a plant the FedGov has zero legit authority to criminalize...

Nice going Ace. Freedom? Personal responsibility? Constitutional law?

Not on your watch...

[coon2000]

Yea that sounds reasonable. Kill someone for damaging empty cars. If the farmer had a dog they could have shot it as well.

[brent13a]

Right or wrong, people have had it!

I guess it's too bad for you that Bill Ayers and the WU aren't operational anymore. You know, so they could go around and blow up some police cars and police departments because the PEOPLE have had it!

[brent13a]

Yea that sounds reasonable. Kill someone for damaging empty cars.

The reasonable part would be where I started off my post with:

It’s too bad that one of the police officers wasn’t in the 2nd or 3rd squad car and saw the tractor coming at him off the other cars, I would love for this story to end the way it did with the Muslim on a bulldozer in Jerusalem awhile back....you know with a police officer climbing up the tractor and emptying his sidearm pistol into the a$$hole’s cranium.

(That bold section would be the reasonable part where I had wished one of the squad cars wasn't empty thereby giving a police officer ample grounds to kill the a-hole.)

Boy are you an idiot.

[Vermont Lt]

He will have to pay, but I bet he doesn’t do 90 days.

[MomwithHope]

All he has to do is say he’s gay and no problem............

[Dead Corpse]

Yeah... Those Founding Fathers fighting the British Red Coats... What a bunch of Weather Underground wanna-be's...

Yer' not making a good case here.

[Travis T. OJustice]

Boy are you an idiot.

I'd have said pro-police state, anti-liberty jackbooted thug idiot, but yeah.

[Gaffer]

Please please tell me that you are not a police officer. It you are, then your department has made a grave mistake in hiring you. Seriously, you’d blow someone’s brains out for trampling some cars with no one in them?

Sure, the guy got busted with weed, and he went nuts and crushed their cars....I’m glad the officers didn’t shoot him like I’d be glad they wouldn’t shoot my dog as so many have done lately. They handled it the right way, and the guy will pay for what he’s done - he didn’t need to be murdered for it.

[coon2000]

Brent, perhaps the farmer would not have crushed the car had a person been in it. You would love to see this farmer get shot in the head? Chill out dude.

[P.O.E.]

Maybe he can get sponsorships for the combine demolition derby circuit.

[zeugma]

Nice. Suggesting that police murder a citizen for destruction of police property. We know where you stand.
