A wonderful day!
Deserves a holiday each year to celebrate it, seriously.

I’m following the Rush Limbaugh philosophy pointing out absurdity by being absurd, this peace activist thought the power of her beliefs could stop a bulldozer but got crushed with a dose of reality

Ah! Thank you.

The woke mantra from a few years back comes to mind:

“If You Dream It You Can Do It!”

Rachel Corrie obviously didn’t dream hard enough or she could have willed that bulldozer to stop!

I’ve operated dozers. If the dozer blade was carried high as it likely would be during a demolition operation, then the operator would never see the foolish idiot standing in front of it. For someone to purposely place themselves in harms way like that is suicidal. I have zero sympathy for the deceased and the survivors. The good news is this moron is no longer of reproducing an offspring with such foolish behavior.

She should be a Darwin award recipient.

What kind of idiot stands in front of moving construction equipment?

It’s similar with these idiots around the world stop cars on major highways all in the name of climate justice, 2-3 cases of them getting run over would stop the nonsense

Who’s got the “I have no idea what you’re talking about so here’s a bunny with Rachel Corrie on his head” meme?

Gosh, now that 20 years have passed, maybe the Rachel Corrie Poetry Slam thread could be un-pulled.🤪

Yes, it was mean and tasteless, but I laughed til I cried, and I’m still not sorry.

Any truth to the rumor Corrie was attacked and knocked unconscious just before the dozer backed up?

For what it is worth, they proved that he couldn’t see her. Which means it was a great shot to hit her....

The sad thing is that the Dozer driver had to clean that sh*t off of his blade.

They asked her to leave and she turned them down flat.

I believe there is evidence to support the theory that Palestinians killed her on the way to the hospital, because a dead American is worth far more propaganda than a living protester.

People are stupid when they think they can challenge a piece of equipment.
