Florida man strikes again!

Killdozer at home:

[Secret Agent Man]

In nature the dangerous things have markings to identify them as such...

Police estimated the total damage to Walmart near $2 million.

Something tells me that this guy doesn't have that kind of cash.

Bring back the 60’s when all the drugs were so wonderful and only the terminally socially repressed didn’t do them.

Years ago we brought our cub scouts to a friends construction site. My friend, the site supervisor told me to take the boys in the excavator and let them move the bucket around.

I had run Bobcats before but never real heavy equipment

“Uh Brad. You want to show me how to run it first?”

I had more fun the the six year olds did.

Something tells me he’s had this kind of photo taken before.

Tatoos on the neck and face are always a warning sign.

What was your first hint?

There was a story a few years ago about a gravel quarry in Germany where the owner had his 9-year-old grandson running a front-end loader, one of the fairly large ones. Some busybodies were getting upset about it, and the owner told them it was private property and the kid was a better operator than most of the other employees.

This man should have been shot.

You have no idea how many people you can kill toppling a wall at Walmart.

An upstanding Christian man I see…

[Governor Dinwiddie]

He wears his Christianity proudly.

In the way that a herd of antelopes on the African savannah attracts lions, Gainesville and its mass of naive college students draws criminal predators and the criminally unbalanced. And, by a happenstance of history working to the convenience of the predators today, the State of Florida has numerous prison facilities located within an hour or two of Gainesville.

That’s cool.

There has to be an alligator in the story somewhere.

My daughter was running an excavator at about 9 years old.

Joystick and foot pedal controlled, they are now just video games that move stuff.

She figured it out and ran it very efficiently, probably better than many adults would.

Part of homeschooling.
